Y el mundo es un salón:.

Today I felt like going to the city center, maybe because it's been a while since I went there without having a reason to do so. First of all I went to the Museo Interactivo de Economía, and tasted a delicious coffee from Puebla, then I moved to the Museo de Betlemitas, one of the army's museums, and even though it's not a big building, there are some statues of pre-hispanic warriors totally worth seeing. My last cultural stop was at the Palacio de Iturbide, currently hosting part of the Banamex-collection, here the painting I liked the most was Vendedora de Alcatraces!!:.

Yo que era un solitario bailando
me quedé sin hablar
Mientras tú me fuiste demostrando
que el amor es bailar.

En danzas paganas:.

I'm about to finish the first volume of the Fun with Chinese Characters series. I truly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Chinese language in general!!:.

I hope I can finally go to the MNAH this weekend, there's an interesting exposition on Teotihuacan that I've been postponing to go for some time now. Considering I'm on a low budget I'll have to go on Sunday, free entrance!!:.

Dormido entre la hierba,
ya soñaba con tus manos
Cuando bailaba entre las tumbas,
sentia tu mirada

Desire is hunger:.

This week I finally got my Xbox back from the repair center, but the problem was that I also got a letter explaining me that they won't repair it because the damage is not covered by the warranty. It didn't took me by surprise, I had long lost hope on any Microsoft product, so I'll do what I first thought when it broke, sell it on ebay as a damaged product!!:.

Today I payed for my first semester at the master program, let us hope it's worth it!!:.

With love we sleep,
With doubt the vicious cycle turns,
And burns.

Das bin ich, das bin ich:.

Yesterday I watched HP's new movie and I really liked it!. I had my doubts about the dark nature of the movie, considering what other fans were saying, but then I realized that the way dark magic is combined with romance in the plot is at least interesting, it serves to keep the non-fans interested throughout the movie:..

Ich bin jetzt, ich bin hier, ich bin ich,
Das allein ist meine Schuld.

Porque yo vengo con apetito de obrero:.

Great weekend resting by the pool, just like an EJB!!. I had to drive half the way back to Mexico, quite an experience considering I had never driven in an important highway:.

Quick summary: I ate some delicious camaronillas, got hit by a mailbox, had wonderful pizzas for dinner, got addicted to Yoli, swam with my cellphone (ruining it), read HP1 and had breakfast like there was no tomorrow!!:.

This week I'll watch HP's new movie, there's a chance I'll go see it with a former friend, to be honest, it would be great to see her again:.

Yo no lucho por un terreno pavimentado
Ni por metros cuadrados, ni por un sueño dorado.

The good old days, the honest man:.

I love the daylight around 7-8 pm, you can actually sense the nature of the place where you are. For instance, Tlalpan has this particular shade of sepia, Barcelona had an amazing blue, and the place where I am right now, Acapulco, has a dark blue variant. This, at least for me, is like taking a quick view to the place's soul:.

The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze.
