SANDY, Utah (Wednesday, January 9, 2012) – With today's announcement of the 2013 Major League Soccer regular season schedule, Real Salt Lake learned the 34-game slate that will mark its ninth campaign of MLS play. Real Salt Lake will begin the upcoming season on Sunday, March 3 on the road against 2012 MLS Supporters Shield winner San Jose Earthquakes, at Buck Shaw Stadium on the campus of Santa Clara University. Kickoff is slated for 8:00 p.m. MT; as with the entire 2013 schedule, local television windows and channel assignments will be announced in the near future.
RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis' team kicks off the season with five of its first seven games on the road, travelling cross-country in Week Two to RFK Stadium in the Nation's Capital to face D.C. United, one of two occasions of the year (May 11 @ Montreal and May 19 @ Chivas) that sees RSL on opposite coasts in the same week. That May 11 trip to Quebec is preceded by a mid-week trip to Foxborough, Mass., to face the New England Revolution, one of two four-day road "doubles" of the season (Aug. 17 @ Los Angeles & August 21 @ Portland).
As previously announced, on Saturday, March 16, RSL will host the first of its 17 regular season home contests at Rio Tinto Stadium with the lone Utah appointment of the Subaru Rocky Mountain Cup against rival Colorado Rapids with a 3:30 p.m. MT kickoff. Currently, the only ways for fans to guarantee their seats on opening night in Sandy is to Join the Pride by becoming an RSL Season Ticket Holder or purchasing a Pride Pack, an RSL mini plan package, by visiting the "TICKETS" section of www.RealSaltLake.com or calling 801-727-2700. Pride Packs and Group packages are available starting next Monday, January 14th. Real Salt Lake will announce details for single-game ticket availability in the upcoming weeks.
Following the extended glut of road matches out of the gate, RSL will see 7 out of its next 10 games from April 20 to June 22 at its Rio Tinto Stadium home. The initial three-game home stand – against Chivas USA, Los Angeles Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps – is followed by the aforementioned mid-May jaunt through New England, Montreal and Chivas, and bracketed by a four-game home stand with Chicago, San Jose, Los Angeles and Seattle visiting Utah between May 25 and June 22.
All 323 regular season matches will be televised live – 87 by national U.S. network partners ESPN, NBC, and Univision in the United States. Real Salt Lake will be featured on three national broadcasts, all coming on NBC Sports Network (April 6 @ Colorado, Aug. 30 v. Portland & Sept. 13 @ Seattle). All non-national TV games will be broadcast locally and/or via subscription to Direct Kick and MLSsoccer.com's live streaming package; Real Salt Lake will announce details for its 2013 local broadcast schedule in the upcoming weeks.
The 2013 MLS Regular Season will conclude Sunday, Oct. 27, followed by the MLS Cup Playoffs and the championship game – MLS Cup 2013 – on Dec. 7 or 8, hosted by one of the two finalists. From First Kick to MLS Cup, the calendar footprint of the 2013 season is 281 days – the longest in League history (as is the regular season, at 246 days).

Many moons ago, as director of the Yankee Kitchen Cooking Schools, I had the opportunity to work with the inestimable Barbra Tropp of the China Moon Café in San Francisco. She came to Seattle to teach a series of classes for the school and the first thing she wanted when she arrived was a whirlwind shopping tour of Chinatown.

Bittersweet Chocolate Orange French Toast for Lovers
With this post, we kick off the second annual Love Rules! All Chocolate! All Month! celebration at LunaCafe OtherWorldly Kitchen. To check out the wonderful chocolate creations we debuted last February, be sure to visit the All Chocolate! recipe archive.
Beginning now, every post until the end of February will feature, you guessed it, CHOCOLATE. In fact, I've been covered in unsweetened and bittersweet chocolate, as well as cocoa, for many weeks now, trying to come up with the world's best, truly CHEWY (not fudgy, not cakey) brownie. And finally, after many attempts, I succeeded. In all the testing, I also serendipitously hit upon a wonderfully silky, light, and luscious fudgy brownie that turned me, the swamp boogie queen of chewy brownie lovers, into a fudgy brownie convert.

Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
I'll admit I was one of the reporters whose eyebrows were raised when Percy Harvin provided some rare NFL locker room insight rather than the usual tap dancing of generalities and cliches.
I put this in one of yesterday's posts, but here's what he said when I asked him a simple question about the team's third-down woes in the second half:
"We've just got to execute the play that was called a little better. Twice, we were lined up in the wrong formation so that's just little mistakes that we're killing ourselves. [If] we're in the right formation, we probably had two walk-in touchdowns."
That perked some ears belonging to long-time reporters not used to players revealing -- especially in a mass interview format -- that players had lined up in the wrong formation, presumably in critical red-zone situations, judging by Harvin's description.
Asked to elaborate on players lining up incorrectly, Harvin seemed to realize he probably said too much and shut it down. I can't fault him for that.
"I'm not getting into that," he said. "We didn't execute enough to get the job done. I'm not getting into the formations and who did what. As a team, we didn't execute the offense, defense and special teams."
With time to think about it, it's not exactly surprising -- or at least it shouldn't be -- that players are still figuring out how to get lined up in an offense they've been running for less than two months.
Because of the 4 1/2-month lockout, Aug. 1 is when this offense got together for the first time. New system, new coordinator, new quarterack. Very few full-speed, full-padded practices.
Now compare that to the Packers, Bears and Lions. The offenses in Green Bay, Chicago and Detroit are cruising the high-speed lane in Lamborghinis. The Vikings, at this point, are riding a unicycle on the berm.
Inconsistency is to be expected. Unfortunately for the Vikings, the rest of the division has shown it won't be waiting around for the Vikings to catch up.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a 16-year-old Mesa boy accused of killing his mother will be charged as an adult in the case.
Mesa police say the teen's 17-year-old friend also was booked into juvenile detention and is facing charges as an accomplice to the murder of 36-year-old Tina Helms Spencer.
Police say her body was found Saturday in a backyard shed at the family's property.
Authorities believe Spencer was struck with a frying pan and a hammer and also was choked.
Police say Spencer's son is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder, concealment of a dead body and tampering with evidence.
They say the boy admitted to planning the attack, but the motive remains unclear.
The names of the teens are being withheld by The Associated Press because they are juveniles.

Tom Green — the comedian best known for the 1990s MTV program "The Tom Green Show" and "putting his bum" on things – is scheduled to perform stand-up comedy at the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse (2903 Columbia Pike) in December.
Green will perform four shows in two nights on Friday, Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 6, with performances at 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. each night. Tickets are already on sale online — each show costs $25.
Green gained notoriety in the '90s for his talk show, which the Drafthouse promo for his performances says "paved the way for shows like 'Jackass, 'Punk'd' and 'Fear Factor.' With its guerrilla video tactics and outrageous stunts, it was unlike anything that had been seen before."
Green also had prominently roles in movies like "Road Trip," "Stealing Harvard" and "Freddy Got Fingered."
Green now hosts "Tom Green Live," a talk show on AXS TV.

A new t-shirt pokes fun at the $1 million bus stop on Columbia Pike and the often tongue-in-cheek rivalry between north and south Arlington.
The t-shirt was created by PikeBuzz.com, a new website that offers deals and events at Columbia Pike "town center" businesses, and will be given away at the site's launch party Wednesday night. The first 100 attendees at the event will receive the shirt for free.
(Disclosure: PikeBuzz is an ARLnow.com advertiser.)
PikeBuzz owner Greg Godbout, who also owns the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse, says the t-shirt isn't meant to be controversial – like the bus stop – just humorous.
"We were looking for something funny to put on a shirt," he said. "The national level attention that the bus stop got in our neighborhood made for an easy target. We also see the Columbia Pike neighborhood changing significantly for the better and thought it would be funny to use the bus stop as a silly measurement of that improvement."
The shirt takes a jab at the northern half of the county with a scoreboard that shows "South Arlington 1, North Arlington 0."
"The reference to the scoreboard is to make light of the home grown competitiveness between the two sections of Arlington," Godbout explained. He continued:
Prior to moving to South Arlington 13 years ago, I would not have been able to tell you the difference between North Arlington and South Arlington, except that one is south of Rt. 50 and the other north of Rt. 50. But after meeting people in the neighborhood, the general belief shared by some is that "North Arlington" has it better… better schools, more funding, more representation on the County Board, etc. So for some in South Arlington, the feeling is that we don't have it as good. The reality is quite the opposite. I live in the Penrose neighborhood of South Arlington and love it here. My daughter goes to Patrick Henry which is exceptional. My business is in South Arlington and has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years. I love the advantages that South Arlington offers.

We last reported on Coulier when he performed at Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse in 2011.
With a little more than a week until Valentine's Day (February 14), now is a good time to make some plans so all the good reservations aren't taken. Many restaurants offer special menus for the big day, but there are plenty of other options for celebrating in Arlington besides going out to dinner.
Here is a sampling of some of the more unique ways to treat your Valentine:
- Sip on a special cocktail at TNT Bar's (2413 Columbia Pike) "My Bloody Valentine" event, featuring cocktails inspired by "terrible horror movies." Drinks such as the "Candyman 1992″ and "Love Object 2003″ can be purchased individually or as part of a tasting menu for two.

- Pacers is spreading the love a little early, with the Love the Run You're With 5K on Sunday (February 10). Runners will receive colored bibs based on their relationship status — green for single, red for in a relationship and yellow for "it's complicated." The race begins at 9:00 a.m. at Pentagon Row and costs $40. Registration is available online.
- Valentine's Day isn't just for adults. Teens are invited to take part in the Broken Hearts Party at the Central Library (1015 N. Quincy Street) on February 14. The celebration of love, affection and loss will include decorating broken heart cookies, playing trivia games, listening to music and rating which tear-jerker books require the most tissues. The free event runs from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

- The Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse (2903 Columbia Pike) is serving up wine, comedy and two showings of The Princess Bride.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for an optional wine tasting.
One local man is hoping that the movie "Magic Mike" can be his magic love connection.
A 42-year-old guy posted on the Craigslist Missed Connections page in an effort to connect with a woman he sat next to at an Arlington Cinema Drafthouse (2903 Columbia Pike) screening of the movie, which follows the travails of a group of male strippers.
From Craigslist:
It was a packed movie Monday night. I arrived a couple minutes before the movie started and you offered the empty seat next to you. We talked for a couple minutes. I thought you were intriguing, but regret not having the chance to get to know you more. I liked how you laughed at certain parts of the movie. Email me back if you are curious.

Pauly Shore will be performing stand-up comedy at the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse (2903 Columbia Pike) next month.
The former MTV host also has writer, producer and director on his resume, but he's best known for his starring roles in mediocre 1990s comedies like Encino Man, Son in Law, In the Army Now, Jury Duty and Bio-Dome. More recently, Shore has had guest roles on TV series like Entourage and the short-lived "reality" show Sunset Tan.
Shore is scheduled for four performances (an early show and a late show) on Friday, Sept. 16 and Saturday, Sept. 17. Tickets are currently on sale for $25.
"Shore's stand-up is sprinkled with autobiographical tidbits from his wacky life," according to the Cinema Drafthouse's web site. "His goal is to make sure the fans leave the show learning something about him."
HOT Lanes Firm May Walk – One of the two companies that was tapped to built High Occupancy Toll lanes on I-95/395 may walk away from the project if the federal environmental review lasts more than 12 months. The CEO of Melbourne-based Transurban told a newspaper that long delays, including delays caused by Arlington County's lawsuit challenging the project, has prompted him to think about cutting his losses.

County to Designate 'Essential' Historic Properties — Arlington County is scheduled to designate 23 new "essential" historic properties, including garden apartment complexes, old shopping centers and the Arlington Cinema 'n' Drafthouse.

Update at 9:30 a.m. — The accident has been cleared and Columbia Pike has reopened.
Westbound Columbia Pike has been shut down in front of the Arlington Cinema Drafthouse due to a truck fire.
A rental truck caught fire around 8:30 this morning. Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames, but an oil leak has now reportedly been discovered.
Firefighters and police are expected to remain on the scene for about an hour — until about 10:00 a.m. — as the leak is cleaned up. Traffic is being diverted onto Walter Reed Drive.
While ARLnow.com was on the scene, a Metrobus driver decided to skip the detour and instead drive westbound in the eastbound turn lane of Columbia Pike (see photo above).

The more I adore the sport of baseball itself, the more I perform dream football. There's no better method to carefully follow rankings, package results, participant tendencies, warm lines, depressions that are cool as well as the pleasant contest that is unavoidable by playing dream football, from attempting to best your competitors subsequently, which originates. Nevertheless, increasingly individuals interested in this cryptic sport and every one of its own quirks approach me. Because I really like baseball's game, I really like both to share the sport in all its own shapes - both in the field and away. For the inexperienced, here are the fundamentals of fantasy football: dream platforms: There are a number of different types of illusion football. It's possible for you to perform rotisserie (or, "roto" as it's known as), head to head, points leagues or a number of other formatting. But the one constant element in all types is a number of possessors each write a "staff" consisting of real life football gamers. As those gamers gather data in the industry (in games that are actual) their dream owners gather these same numbers so that you can develop more numbers that are complete subsequently their competitions that are dream. As an example, in the event the homerun total of your competition is not a lot better than the homerun total of your whole dream group, you earn (that group at least!). Aside from the structure, your supreme objective will be to collect complete numbers that are better than your competitors. Dream draft: Every dream football category is somewhat different but most maintain an annual "write" where the owners pick the real life players which will make up their dream rolls.
Some leagues are called "empire" or "goalkeeper" leagues because owners might retain some (or all) of the gamers from time-to-time. Data types: Substantially the exact same manner that dream leagues have differing platforms, in addition, there are a variety of mathematical groups that leagues may use. Aside from the statistics employed in just about any category that is specific, the thought is exactly the same: attempt to roll up numbers that are better than your competitors roll up. Besides your category scoring program that is regular, dream football facet wagers are not very unpopular at the same time. Suggestions and methods: you'll find methods as several hints and items of guidance as there are dream football types (in reality some web sites are dedicated for this!). But there are a number of worldwide tid-bits which might be not bad to follow along with. Football gamers are not notoriously consistent (much more than maybe any other athletics), However, this holds particularly true. So it's smart to choose batters prior to pitchers in your write to reduce the effect of selling data that is irregular. Pitchers may possibly often be chosen up through the entire football period off the wire, whereas batters that were great are a lot more rare after the period has started. More significant than the structure of your league, groups draft or some suggestions you can provide or obtain is dream football principle: Have fun. If you're not a football fanatic, or simply becoming included in loving the sport, dream football can help in learning the gamers as well as statistics, you jump right to the overall game. As a football enthusiast, becoming associated with dream football may just cause you to be an even larger football fan over time. Dream football is highly recommended by me to every one and recall, more significant than other things, have fun!

First-base may be the best place in the baseball area. First basemen are participating in the majority of the outs. They want the means prevent not good or to catch punches from the other infielders. On heavy fly balls in which a base runner can report, they work to residence as the cut-off guy. And for lefthanders, first-base is an excellent place for you personally. Many ground outs end against the primary baseman getting the basketball. There is of first basemen an essential talent the capacity to catch or prevent poor punches for another infielders. A first baseman that is great stops base runners from progressing and helps generate outs. To residence, the initial baseman functions as a cut-off guy on a strike to the outfield in which a base runner may report. Lefthanders love a bonus at first-base.

This chain is aimed towards trainers at all levels. It's my opinion that each place is not unimportant, and both need players with talents that are distinct.

Inside NASA's Mega Flyby of Mercury's Dark Side (Update: New Pix!)
Scientists got their first glimpse of Mercury's surface in 33 years when the MESSENGER spacecraft flew by the planet, beaming back fascinating photos of a previously hidden portion of the planet.
By Jennifer Bogo
A complex history of geological evolution is recorded in this frame from the Narrow Angle Camera. Part of an old, large crater occupies most of the lower left portion of the frame. An arrangement of ridges and cliffs in the shape of a "Y" crosses the crater's floor. The shadows defining the ridges are cast on the floor of the crater by the Sun shining from the right, indicating a descending stair-step of plains. The main, right-hand branch of the Y crosses the crater floor, the crater rim, and continues off the top edge of the picture; it appears to be a classic "lobate scarp" (irregularly shaped cliff) common in all areas of Mercury imaged so far. These lobate scarps were formed during a period when Mercury's crust was contracting as the planet cooled. In contrast, the branch of the Y to the left ends at the crater rim and is restricted to the floor of the crater. Both it and the lighter-colored ridge that extends downward from it resemble "wrinkle ridges" that are common on the large volcanic plains, or "maria," on the Moon.

Review: Ree Ree Khaosan Restaurant
Looking for a good lunch spot after climbing the majestic (and steep) tower of Wat Arun? Tucked in a funky Thonburi neighbourhood behind the temple, Ree Ree Khaosan Restaurant puts out outstanding authentic Thai food in a comfortable and accessible package. We checked Wat Arun off our sightseeing list some time ago, but we still make the trip often, specifically to enjoy Ree Ree Khaosan's consistently tasty fare.
To avoid confusion, Ree Ree Khaosan Restaurant is on the western side of the Chao Phraya River in Thonburi, not on Khao San Road as its name suggests. In fact, the name has nothing to do with Bangkok's notorious backpacker district, but instead is named after a popular children's game played throughout Thailand. Given the restaurant's simple, clean and cheerful cafe-style atmosphere, it's fitting.
One of my pet peeves when it comes to Thai restaurants that cater to foreigners (at least until my Thai reading skills come along) is how the names of Thai dishes are usually poorly translated into English, and the actual Thai words are not transliterated into Roman characters. Unfortunately, this is the case at Ree Ree Khaosan, so be prepared for some guesswork (or to speed up those Thai lessons). Unlike many such tourist-oriented restaurants, however, Ree Ree Khaosan's food is authentic and spicy.
Just because something is "authentic" doesn't necessarily mean it's worth eating, but Ree Ree Khaosan's food tastes incredible too. A fabulous rendering of one of my favourite Thai spicy salads, pla koong, is hidden on the menu behind the sadly lacking alias, "prawn salad spicy". With its blend of fresh tender prawns, slices of lemongrass, chillies, red onion, garlic, lime juice, lettuce and mint leaves, they would have done better to translate this one as "mixture of goodness".
As an appetiser, we accompanied the fresh and healthy pla koong salad with the not so healthy "fried chicken wing with lemongrass" (gai tort thaklai). I can't ever recall trying a bad fried chicken wing in Thailand, but I also can't recall any that blew me away either. Until now, that is. With a subtly salty crispiness and deep fried strips of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and roasted chillies heaped on top, this was easily the best fried chicken Thailand has shown me yet.
To cap off our meal, we added the "steamed squid in hot and sour soup" (pla muk nuumanow). Based on the English translation, we loosely expected a tom yum-style soup to come out, but we were pleasantly surprised when the server appeared with a coal-heated steel platter that's normally used for steamed fish.
Not sure why they call this a "hot and sour soup" (the menu's Thai script transliterates to noomanow, which means lime, and the broth wasn't spicy), but the tangy lime-garlic-mint juice was hard to argue with. With a spoonful of broth and a mint leaf or two, the tender hunks of squid rounded out one of those meals where you can't decide which was your favourite dish — they were all just that good.
Ree Ree Khaosan offers an extensive menu that includes noodles, stir-fries, curries, salads, finger foods, whole fishes and some Thai-style spaghetti plates. Next time we'll try the "steamed striped snakehead fish with spicy sauce" or "spicy fried wild boar in red curry". With ice cold beer and free WiFi also available in the bright air-con cafe, you can't beat Ree Ree Khaosan for cooling off after some sightseeing.
To get here from Wat Arun, take a left onto the side street directly behind the temple, then follow the road as it turns to the right. Ree Ree Khaosan is just around the corner, one shopfront before Arun Ammarin Road.

Houston Press writer and Film Threat contributor Pete Vonder Haar checks in with an epic account of his time at this year's deadCENTER Film Festival, including how he got a wicked black eye during a screening.
The quotes are meaty and plentiful, but here's one of our favorites: "In this, its tenth year, deadCENTER is firing on all cylinders and is — in my humble opinion — one of the best film festivals around. Period."

Broken Wings Faerie's Journal
SO! 6 months and 2 days since my last post. I'm all messed up, i'm sory for that. Anyway... Today's a sad day, Eligio Peres, mi profesor y director de teatro, murio de un paro cardiaco, él ya tenia una semana interno en el hospital por lo del corazon y eso fue lo que lo mató. Honestamente, me siento super triste, but i can't cry!!! I'm feeling like some kind of cold hearted bitch! pero no sé porqué, yo creo qu es porque todavia no lo he asimilado,vas a ver que mañana en el entierro me deshidrato llorando, but so far i've been quite calm.
Entre otras cosas, he prometido llevar este diario sagradamente a partir de hoy 16 de Mayo; jejeje a esta hora Leonel tiene 51.3%, primer boletin!!!! Ay el pobre profe queria votar hoy, pero *cough*. Bueno, la borona es que... AH si! ya comence a trabajar!!! y esto es lo que yo queria!!!! asist. de compras internacionales en Bermudez &Co. chulambrico!!! espero que sea todo lo que yo espero que sea; para decir la verdad yo creia que iba a ser otra cosa, Bermudez i mean, no sé, yo lo veia como a Leon Jimenes, version licorera, pero no se compara con ELJ para nada!!! Ya veremos hasta donde llegamos en esto...
Miercole, ya no tengo animos para escribir, pero yo espero ser seria con mi promesa de escribir al menos una vez a la semana para contar los highlights of the week, ya veremos, pero como yo soy tan impredescible, quien sabe lo que pase. I'll go now, a ver si encuentro algun buen fanfiction. Juro que yo adoro esas vainas, sobretodo las rated R o NC-17, not only for the naughtyness pero por lo maravillosamente romantico que puede ser, ya quisiera yo tener a alguien como HArry o Draco como Hermione los tiene en los que he leido. jajajjaa a mi me da risa que yo prostituyo a la pobre hermione, me gusta acostarla con Harry Y Draco, pero es q ella es el unico personaje femenino q me gusta de los libros, al menos para fan fiction, no me gusta ginny para nada, no se porque, realmente no le doy mucha importancia a pesar de que hay mucha gente que les fascina hacer lo mismo que yo, osease, meterla con harry o draco. pero bueno. jajaja yo no puedo decir nada que no este involved wth Harry Potter. es que no sirvo!!!!
I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there? Is it still out there? ... Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different.
I have lot's to say but little time, or rather little will, to say them, see you next time.
Current mood: cold.
Current music: The sound of the bloody Air Conditioner of this classroom.
What a day Yesterday!!!!!!!! I went to the FESTIVAL PRESIDENTE DE MUSICA LATINA and it was absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!!!! It was in Sto. Dgo. so I went in a tour. We had to get there before 6pm but we left Santiago at 4pm and it's a 2:30 trip; we got there late but we got to see the end of the first performance: Milly Quezada; I don't complain, though, cuz if it's true that I like Milly a bit, I'm not too into Merengue Music. After that it was Ricardo Montaner's turn, this was quite nice, very nice indeed, he sang must of the songs I liked when I was a kid, it made me remember my old times (yeah right! like I'm THAT old) but it was cool.
The third performer, and the most eager awaited for me and my fellow rock and rollers, were the group LA LEY, Damn it! it was so fucking Awesome!!!!! they sang their best songs and their performance were great, as always of course. Beto was so energetic (as always) and SO DEVILISH GORGEOUS! as well as, of course, my oh so dear Pedro. It was great, Beto is true Showman and a performer. But the real magic happened when they were singing "PRISIONEROS DE LA PIEL" (skin prisoners) and it began to rain, oh my god, that was the perfect moment to rain, one of the most melancholic songs and rain with it, just made the scene perfect, the only thing that was missing it's a boyfriend for me to hug, but beside that it was absolutely delightful.
Ricardo Arjona closed the show, this was rather good, if it wasn't that I don't fancy Arjona's music much I'd say it was really incredibly good, but I'm not going to say that, for me it was ok. It rained lots also, and it was cool too. I just say that cuz I love the rain, that's it, it's not that I LOVED Arjona's concert but with the rain it was enjoyable. OK OK OK I LIKED his concert, i admit it, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to like him from now on. It's just that sometimes I don't agree with his so called "Philosophy" so that's why I don't like him much.
The concert ended at 1am and we were supposed to leave no later than 1:30am but some people were missing so we had to wait till they turned up. Finally we left at 2:05am, the bus was full of exhausted and soared people as well as a great bunch of drunk guys. We arrived to Santiago at 4am and I got home at 4:30, I came here bathe and couldn't fall asleep, maybe because I slept a little on the bus. Finally I fell asleep like at 5:20 and slept until 10am, not much really and I've spent the whole day very drowsy and soared, my feet, back and throat are killing me. Even though I'm sleepy I can't sleep, I don't know why. I'll go to bed early today to see if I can rest a bit cuz I really need it, tomorrow I need to work on my report for "Introduction to the Investigation of Business Administration"
On Friday was the presentation of the play "Fablilla..." and I must say that the girls performance was very good, the whole thing was ok even though Eligio (the director) came half an hour before the show completely drunk! I was sooooooo mad at him, that's the biggest irresponsibility I've seen from a person (that if we count my father's behavior). Too bad that I couldn't go yesterday to the reunion, or maybe Thank God I didn't go, cuz I would have yelled at him and finally take myself out of the group. But lets see what happens next Saturday. Honestly, when things like that happen you ask yourself if it really worth it to waste your time in a theatrical group that you perfectly know won't have any success with the kind of director it has, a man with a terrible emotional and psychological disorder, but let's remember that he's an artist so we can't blame him. But a little bit of responsibly won't kill him at all.
OMG! I just found a couple of new pictures from the Harry Potter III movie, I'm so excited!!!!!!! the are so cool, in one you can see Daniel who looks great, the second one is the trio inside the Shrieking Shack and the third (my personal favorite) it's one with the trio and a bunch of other students starinf at something and I still can't make up my mind of which scene is this, they are all like dirty and their clothes were all messy and stuff, but Daniel and Rupert looked SO FUCKING HOT!!!! I can't hardly wait till June 2004 *groans* but I must, right? I trust a 100% in Cuaron's work, I know he's going to make a terrific job with this book *crosses fingers and pray to the lord*, well, he MUST do a terrific job or he'll be asesinated, trust me, and I'm not speaking for myself, but in behalf of all my fellow Potter Fans all over the world. *Grins devilish*
Current mood: exhausted.
Current music: Chemical Brothers - Hey boy hey girl.
Exception to the Rule
It's a dangerous thing, being an exception to a rule. You assume that since you are different from others then surely your results will differ from theirs. And then when you fail to achieve unique results you feel somehow cheated; abandoned by a harsh fate who should have rewarded your efforts, but hardly ever does. Every time you question, attempting to wrap your mind around the idea that all of your struggle, your monumental achievement of breaking the mold, your valiant flouting of conformity in a world of carbon copies has gone unnoticed. When that heavy thought sinks you, you are faced with a terrible self-doubt. Many of us give up the task then; still others give up entirely, drowning themselves in a sea of similarity. After a time, after so many failures, every new resolve finds you questioning your sanity. And yet mostly, you are still helplessly addicted to that fervent burning hope that somehow, some day, if you persevere, if you only survive one last testing of your will, you will be the one. So every day you fight to shelter that dimming flame from rains of doubt, feeding it from time to time, its feeble light drawing you ever onward, each moment struggling for that one final mark of excellence, the one additional trait that will win you your reward.

Nice, isn't it? That's pretty much how I feel from time to time. Miserable wouldn't be the word to describe it; "disappointed" maybe could fill it, but still it doesn't. But life's like this, you try and try to give your best above everybody, but sometimes it just go unnoticed; sometimes you are the Rotten Apple among the Good Ones, but other you are just one of the lot.
Current mood: cold.
Current music: Linkin Park - Numb.
-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which
means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're
the kind of chick that can hang out with your
boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't
care about presents or about going to fancy
placed. Hell, just hang out. You're just happy
being around your boyfriend.

Sometimes I wonder why I feel the way I feel, Why I am the way I am, it's not bad, trust me, but it's a bit Weird. When someone is feeling down I always try to cheer him/her up, when someone has any kind of problems I give him/her a hell good of advice. But when it is ME who have any kind of emotional or personal breakout I can't use the same things I do for other people, it's so ironic, the adviser and the personal clown for a lot of people can't use the same tactics for herself. PATHETIC, but, like the song says : "It's a Bittersweet Symphony this life...."
My Grandma it's driving me NUTS, I'm about to runaway far from here, if it wasn't for Mami and Luis and that I don't have any other place to go and that I really don't want to go to any other place I would have been 500 miles away from this hell, really! My life was so damn sweet 4 months ago, before that I had 2 complete years without arguing with anyone (well, that if we don't count my ex' boyfriend), 2 years without being the spoiled and conceited little brat, 2 years of complete freedom.
Well, there are just 3 months left for her to go, so I'll try not to break completely, something very hard to do, but I'll give it a go.
On other news, on Friday the 17th it's kind of a busy day but I'm really looking forward to it. First of all it's my Brothers Birthday and we are going to our usual family dinner, 2nd the play "Fablilla del secreto bien guardado" is going to be presented on Friday at 8pm but I don't feel ready for it cuz we've only rehearsed once since 6 months and my character is slipping out of me and I don't remember how to keep her inside me, I think is because the horrible experience I had the last time we presented it, my grandpa had just died and I was there at the theater instead of being next to my dad supporting him, it was dreadful, and to be honest I don't even remember what I did on stage, so it doesn't matter anymore.
The MOST important thing that's going to happen on Friday (besides, of course, my Brother's Birthday) It's that E! News Live is going to be on the set of HP PoA and I'm so excited about that. I'm willing to see how's Cuaron doing, if the guys like him, to see up close and personal the new cast, etc. It's going to be wonderfull I bet. Just 8 months left to the release of this movie, only 8 months, not much, is it? Will I survive till then?? who knows, but meanwhile I'll keep watching SS and CoS *grins*
Current mood: anxious.
Current music: The Verve - Bitterweet Symphony.
So, it's been more than two weeks since my las post, and I was just thinking WHY THE HELL I OPEN A LIVEJOURNAL IF IM NOT GONNA UPDATE IT REGULARLY! but now I remember how awfully lazy I am, so now I don't complain.
Anyway's, a lot have happened since my last update; if I'm not mistaken that same night, just after my las post, there was a really shaky Earthquake, but everything was fine, I'm proud of myself *grin* I didn't panic at all, in fact, I was astonish calm and unafraid, it was my mom who had the hysteria when trying to "calm us", I had a laugh at her because of that; she was like yelling "It's ok, guys, it's just an earthquake, nothing will happen, stay calm, don't be scared..." but she was freaking out!, I was thinking: "But I'm calm, I'm ok, YOU are the one who's freaking out...". After this big earthquake (6.5 degrees) at 12:45am it shook again throughout the night and we all went downstairs to the parking lot (I live in a second floor of a 4 stages building) but at 4am I was so drowsy and sleepy that I came upstairs alone despite my mom's attempt to not let me come and sleep; few minutes later I heard them coming up.
The Univ. is killing me, I'm sick and tired of having to attend to classes with lousy teachers who ask for so much and give so little, but that's how it works sometimes, unfortunately, what can I do about it?? Well, besides of arguing with those teacher which I do often, there's nothing more, you can complain with the Department of the carrier but there's so much burocracy in there that I rather stay how I am cuz there's little things to do about it. You try and try, but at the end, nothing really happens, so why bother?
Yesterday I finished reading, for the second time, my beloved Potter book 5, I absolutely loved it, again, I just can't get enough of it, really. I was so depressed yesterday after I finish reading it (not as bad as I was the first time) I don't know how a person can suffer so deeply like that. Poor Harry! he's been through so much since he entered the magical world and there are worst thing coming after him in the next two books. Honestly, I don't know why I read Potter if I suffer so much, GOD! Now, there you go, tears in my eyes every time I think of him. Ok, I'm weird, I know, but I can't help it. :- P

Best song right now???
CadáVer Exquisito
by Paez Fito
Comienza el día y una luz sentimental
nos envuelve, vuelve, se va.
La fabulosa sinfonía universal
nos envuelve, vuelve, se va.
Tango, sexo, sexo y amor,
tanto tango, tanto dolor.
Mi vida gira en contradicción,
jamás conquiste mi corazón.
Mas donde estaba cuando pasó lo que pasó?
Hablandome al espejo solo.
Vengo de un barrio tan mezquino y criminal
quizás te queme, queme, quizá.
Vengo de un barrio siempre a punto de estallar
Quizás te queme, queme, quizá.
Si de nada sirve vivir
buscas algo porque morir.
El tiempo me ha enseñado a mirar,
a veces me ha enseñado a callar.
Donde estabas cuando pasó lo que pasó?
Hablándote al espejo sola.
Es tanta la tristeza y es tan ruin
que celebro la experiencia feliz.
La estupidez del mundo
nunca pudo y nunca podrá
arrebatar la sensualidad.
Busco mi piedra filosofal
en los siete locos, en el mar,
en el cadáver exquisito al no tener piedad,
en la quinta esencia de la música.
Dentro mio, en el amor y el odio
tener que pensar (que pensar)
preferiría tu sonrisa, toda la verdad,
avanzo un paso, retrocedo,
y vuelvo a preguntar, que no cambie
para no cambiar jamás.
Todo es imperfecto amor y odio.
Absolutely wonderfull. Amor y Odio, Love and Hate, the eternal story of my life
Current mood: melancholy.
Current music: Fito Páez - Cadáver Exquisito.
WHAT WHAT WHAAAAAAAAAAT!???, I was feeling down minutes ago, but right now I think I'm depressed
Current mood: blah.
Current music: Shakira - Antologia.
Long Time no See! Since my last update, nothing's really happened. I'm better from the flu that hit few days ago, I had to drink about 2 bottles of some fucking disgusting medicine, but it helped.
There's something wrong with me and I don't know what is it! (ok, that's isn't very new of me, is it?) the thing is that I have this weird feeling.... you know when you feel like a cold on your stomach, like if something bad or good is going to happen, well, that's what I'm feeling but nothing's happened so far.
I'm still with this freaking idea of wanting to be the "damaged little fuck" like a said in my last post, but WHY OH GOD WHY!!?? *lol* it's ridiculous, plain and simple, so i was talking with my therapist (mi mom, *snickers*) and she told me something very true: What happens to me is that I'm trying to make a balance in my life, that is that, like I'm so optimistic and happy, I'm looking a darker side for compensation; weird isn't it, but who said I was normal???... I can't be mad or angry, so therefore, I listen to very violent and angry music, like to just let my anger flow through it; I Love life, but I like to read stories and lj of people who absolutely HATE life, or at least think that this isn't a life worth living; and so go the list.
I've always been so sure of myself, I've always known what I want, I've always known where I'm going, so WHY I'm acting like a fucking moron wanting to be something that I'm not and that I'll never be, no matter how hard I try.
I need a Psychiatrist urgently, I think I'm going mad (if more could be possible)
Current mood: irritated.
