Básicamente, fui a aprender qué setas y qué hierbajos son comestibles e incluso saludables, y a qué no &amp;nbsp;darle un mordisquito aunque la economía se vaya a pique aquí también y no tenga, finalmente, ni un triste libro que llevarme a la boca. Así que imagínanos: veinte personas&amp;nbsp;en un día de invierno Mancuniano, con una indumentaria totalmente desoladora: capas y capas de materiales térmicos, jersey sobre jersey, calcetín sobre calcetín, y el corazoncito alegre con tanto hippismo en el siglo veintiuno. El que no tenía un huerto gritaba:&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;the world is my allotment!,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;y todos&amp;nbsp;asentíamos con vehemencia y utopismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante tres horas, aprendimos a identificar:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three-cornered leek o&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;allium triquetrum&lt;/i&gt;, que sabe a ajito tierno:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KYv4Qhoq3hk/S9oh3f6d3XI/AAAAAAAAABc/hvGd-X-6wN4/s320/tri.JPG" width="291" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winter-cress o&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;barbarea vulgaris -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;una hierbecilla que sabe como a mostaza y se puede añadir a ensaladas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="212" src="http://www.commanster.eu/commanster/Plants/Flowers/SpFlowers/Barbarea.vulgaris4.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hogweed o&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;heracleum sphondilium&lt;/i&gt;, de la familia de las zanahorias, se puede usar como alternativa al perejil:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="242" src="http://wildflowerfinder.org.uk/Flowers/H/Hogweed(Giant)/Hogweed(Giant)_2005_06_25_Marple_canal_Chinley064p2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y también algunas setas, como la mal llamada "oreja de Judas" o&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;auricularia auricula-judae,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;una cosa super rara que se puede comer cruda y que es lo más parecido a los calamares que pueda comer un vegetariano:&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="213" src="http://pixdaus.com/pics/1239348275ZZNJgZs.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O las requetebuenas setas de ostra o&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;pleourotus ostreatus. &lt;/i&gt;Como su nombre indica, están relacionadas con los dinosaurios:&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="240" src="http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/images/post1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y unas cuantas más cuyo nombre no recuerdo ahora, pero que si las viera en el campillo, fijo fijo que reconocería.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando vaciábamos nuestros cestos y los enseñábamos al profesor, una chica llamada Amy nos dio su número de teléfono y su dirección de mail para sincronizar más encuentros en las afueras de la ciudad. Nos dijo que a ella le habían roto el corazón hacía poquito, ese corazón que sólo podíamos intuir como el tambor de la orquesta en el Titanic, bommmmmmmm, bommmmmmmmm, submarinándose bajo ese pecho enorme, y al que se le habían pasado todos los males, nos dijo convencida, con una infusión de no sé qué frutos del bosque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mientras pedaleaba a casa, a mí ya me dolían los sabañones.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-6085626453244160728?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/6085626453244160728/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2012/01/sabado-sabadete-sabanones-rovellones.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/6085626453244160728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/6085626453244160728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2012/01/sabado-sabadete-sabanones-rovellones.html' title='Sábado, Sabadete, Sabañones, Rovellones'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KYv4Qhoq3hk/S9oh3f6d3XI/AAAAAAAAABc/hvGd-X-6wN4/s72-c/tri.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-8975049112554877579</id><published>2011-12-30T15:18:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T15:37:17.542+01:00</updated><title type='text'>This is England (IV)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;No sé cómo andarán las cosas por ahí ahora que la Moncloa ya no huele a siesta y a sifón sino a café reseco enmoheciendo lenguas de ante y franela, ahora que proliferan las barbas con cerdas gruesas que nadie pone a remojar. El caso es que aquí en Talavera de la Reina de Inglaterra todo sigue igual de jodido como siempre. No se trata de una cuestión de clase social, ni de raza, ni de geografía: somos todos malos, malísimos, está históricamente demostrado. No lo digo yo, sino Paddy Considine, peli tras otra. Si te gusta el rollo naturalista de Shane Meadows, con su carne cruda, su working-class, sus acentos regionales incomprensibles, y sus acontecimientos-bomba detonados con un&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;savoir faire&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;en lo que se refiere al marcado de los tiempos, te encantará el primer largo de Considine, el tipo con el que Meadows escribió y dirigió&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Dead Man's Shoes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;(2004) y&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;This is England&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;(2006).&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Tyrannosaur&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;se llama la peliculita, y viene con un Peter Mullan y una Olivia Colman que no te los acabas.&amp;nbsp;Yo me la gocé ayer y calculo que me quedan un par de noches más de rotar sobre mi propio eje, centrifugándolo todo bien, toma que toma que tomatá.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Premerie mundial en el &lt;a href="http://http://www.abbeytheatre.ie/2009season/last-days-of-a-reluctant-tyrant.html"&gt;Abbey&lt;/a&gt;, quiza el mejor dramaturgo irlandes que todavia vive, etc. etc. Pues todavia me duele la mandibula tras tres horas de teatro epico a la Brecht, dicciones extranyas, exclamaciones y preguntas tan beckettianas pero tambien tan absolutamente primordiales como 'y todo esto, para que? PARA QUE?'. A Marie Mullen se la ha cargado el &lt;a href="http://www.independent.ie/incoming/a-masterpiece-despite-flaws-1764859.html"&gt;Irish Independent&lt;/a&gt; porque, por lo visto, su actuacion es hueca, porque no insinua que Arina tiene una rica vida interior, reprimisima, torturada, porque resulta que interpreta a una tirana sin remordimientos, ni retracciones, ni dudas de ningun calibre, una tirana que repetiria cada una de sus acciones y negligencias, que es capaz de desoir a los fantasmas que la rodean. Y no es eso posible? Y no se trata - la tirania, digo - precisamente de eso?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo mas terrorifico, sin duda despues del magnifico epilogo de Arina, fueron las risas de la audiencia.

In my modest-mouse opinion, Glacial valleys are just something else.

Easy as it may be to toss Worthsworth and Coleridge, it is - or so it was on a day like yesterday - a history and a sense of belonging much older than Ireland and much greater than Christianity that we were walking upon, within, towards. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-3872633295737587508?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/3872633295737587508/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post_399.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/3872633295737587508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/3872633295737587508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post_399.html' title=''/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/Shqqu2S0-oI/AAAAAAAAAjg/Zc5AbWDKWWI/s72-c/DSCN1211.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-8509408808962373046</id><published>2009-05-24T02:21:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-24T02:22:49.125+02:00</updated><title type='text'>recuérdame</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;que empiece mis &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;memoirs &lt;/span&gt;con lo de Impact Mkt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/ShiTKozDeDI/AAAAAAAAAiA/h4eBw4tGqQk/s1600-h/de2c80892405492d6d36c6b1a72ebfe0fc27c035_m.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Mientras haya variedad y el total pese unos 150g, la liga está ganada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;And now, The Five Steps to Wholesomeness and Regular Bowel Movements!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;1. Preheat the oven to 180º C and brush the bread tin with oil (or line it with baking parchment). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pon el horno a 180ºC y prepara el &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;molde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41tQNZI5GRL._SL500_AA280_.jpg"&gt; para el pan&lt;/a&gt; untándolo con un poco de aceite. Deja que los Brits se maten poniéndole no sé qué papel: tú úntalo con un pelin de aceite. Yo suelo impregnar un poco de papel de cocina con aceite, y listos. Y, si puedes, cómprate un molde para pan de los de silicona, que son fáciles de utilizar, limpiar y guardar :-)&lt;/span&gt;  La masa es bastante líquida, así que no podrás modelar una barra sin el molde.&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and all the seeds and combine thoroughly. Form a well in the centre of the bowl.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mezcla primero la harina con la levadura, y después añade la sal y las semillas. Cuando esté todo bien mezclado, haz un pequeño "pozo" en el centro. Esto, realmente, no sé para que sirve. Bueno, me hago una idea, pero no sé hasta qué punto son manías de vieja. Aun así, como lo pone en todos los libros de cocina, y yo el respeto a mis mayores no se lo falto ni en broma, lo hago siempre sin rechistar. Por mí, puristas, no va a ser.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;3. In a jug, combine the water and treacle - if you're using any. Stir well and then pour into the well in the centre of the dry mix. Use a spoon or your hand to bring all the ingredients together evenly - but don't go crazy mad mixing. The less mixing, the better. It should look well sloppy. Transfer the mix into the oiled tin and press down evenly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Melaza. ¿Vas a ponerle melaza? ¿De verdad vas a hacerlo? La RAE dice que son las "heces de la miel", si es que se le corta a una la digestión. Yo de ti no lo haría. Pero si vas a hacerlo, si de verdad eres así de ortodoxo y quieres seguir la receta a rajatabla, a cara de perro, por dios y por la virgen - mézclala primero con el agua. A continuación, llena el "pozo" con el líquido - ya sea agua, o agua con melaza. Me lo mezclas todo bien mezclado, de manera que quede una materia marrón de consistencia casi líquida. Tampoco te pases mezclando - cuando ya no queden grumos, lo viertes todo en el molde. Por lo visto, cuanto menos manosees este tipo de pan, más rico estará.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;4. Bake in the centre of the oven for about 60 minutes - until well risen and evenly browned. You can turn out onto a wire rack and tap the base with your finger to check that it is cooked properly: if your tapping produces a hollow sound, the bread is cooked!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Déjalo en el horno durante una hora, más o menos - hasta que haya subido del todo y esté tostado. Cuando lo saques, puedes asegurarte de si está bien cocido dándole la vuelta y haciendo "tap tap" con los dedos en la parte inferior. Si suena hueco, es que está listo. Si no, mételo en el horno de nuevo, ansiotas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.

You'll feel less bloated after eating this, yeah!&lt;br /&gt;- It's also yeast-free, so if you're trying to reduce the intake of yeast in your diet (say you suffer from candidiasis), this'll help you out!&lt;br /&gt;- Spelt is a great source of fiber and has a large amount of B-complex vitamins. It also has up to 25% more protein content than the common varieties of commercial wheat.&lt;br /&gt;- This bread has no preservatives, no E numbers, no funny business.&lt;br /&gt;- Because it is packed with seeds, when you slice and toast this bread, they'll add a lovely, nutty flavour and aroma :-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-5744970127488755242?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/5744970127488755242/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2009/05/liso-liso.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/5744970127488755242'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/5744970127488755242'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2009/05/liso-liso.html' title='liso, liso'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/Sfs6ykXqIoI/AAAAAAAAAhI/adejLcESC8o/s72-c/plio49.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-5873755026292063767</id><published>2009-05-01T19:25:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-01T19:35:55.972+02:00</updated><title type='text'>morir de éxito</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SfswyBFwf8I/AAAAAAAAAgw/_lWqhrPgdD0/s1600-h/mail.google.com.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

en la que se podían ver hordas de chicas que hacían Magisterio o Logopedia y que llevaban sus respectivas carpetas forradas con caras de bebés: sobrinitos, vecinitos, bebés ajenitos en su mayoría, caras posnatales [¡van a ser pre-natales, no te digo!] que estas personas habían recortado con esmero después de buscar en revistas, yo no sé qué hemerotecas o salas de partos consultaban estas chicas, pero ahí las tenías, con su &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;cut &amp;amp; paste&lt;/span&gt; de niños babeando, a gatas, metidos en jarrones gigantes, disfrazados de girasoles, enseñando cachete igual que las irlandesas enseñan tetamen en una fría noche de invierno o de verano. Igual de airosas iban estas chicas por la RENFE, por los Ferrocarriles, Vía Laietana abajo, por la Plaza Letamendi, reclamando su condición psicológica de madres de lo propio y de lo ajeno, de lo tuyo y de lo mío, de lo de Hacienda, de lo de todos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una jodida pesadilla, peñita, presenciar tanto amor y tanto sirope a las &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;what:ever&lt;/span&gt; a.m.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SfpGUg-acxI/AAAAAAAAAgo/BMuREgTGK_0/s1600-h/baby.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SfpGUg-acxI/AAAAAAAAAgo/BMuREgTGK_0/s320/baby.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330650427209446162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;Confesiones: yo llevé fotos de Sabina en mi carpeta, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt; hice un collage VOLUNTARIO con la cara de un Tom Hanks post-púber c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;omo motivo central. Amigo lector, cómo decirlo, la mierda la llevamos todos a flor de piel. Digueu només de paraula i... ah, también aprendí, y gracias a dios olvidé, a hacer diseños de punto de cruz.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Ahora todo esto es muy &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;demodé&lt;/span&gt;, ahora nadie se forra las carpetas, ni les pone protecciones de metal en las esquinitas, ni piensa en cómo distribuir esos recortes para disimular el logo de la UB. Me lo ha dicho Diego - quien, por cierto, hoy cumple años, pero, calla, calla, tú hazte el sueco que voy a hacer como si nada -  me lo ha dicho, digo, Diego, que hoy cumple años y estudia Educación Musical, y que está hartico de ver a estudiantes por las calles, por las plazas, haciendo presentaciones individuales y en grupo - &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;rodolins i tot!&lt;/span&gt; - con las carpetas pidiendo a gritos un poquito de por favor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hablamos muy poco, Diego y yo, porque es llamada internacional y yo ni tengo dinero ni lo he conocido, pero cuando hablamos, cuando me llama, siempre, siempre, hace que me ría a carcajadas. Y cuando nos vemos, siempre, siempre, regreso a casa trotando de felicidad - porque le he visto, en cuestión de horas, gritar como un energúmeno en los semáforos, acariciarle la nuca a Sheila con una ternura infinita, y reírse hasta que se le saltaban las lágrimas por cualquier tontería. Me parece increíblemente bonito que haya tanta vida y tanta locura en ese cuerpecillo Serrano tan manso. No sé si está bien o está mal que lo diga, o que lo diga aquí, pero estoy orgullosa de todo lo que Diego ha conseguido desde que le conozco - un "todo" que quizá se podría resumir como "ser feliz" - que ahí es nada. Estoy orgullosa, por supuesto, a pesar de que aquella vez se mangara el libro ese del sobaco en la Pelegrín. Y aunque se comprara un DVD de ¡Anaaaaal! en la Rambla. Aunque una vez falsificara la firma de Holden Caulfield, a su regreso de Burkina Faso. Aunque abandonara lo de Futuro Fiambre antes de empezar. A pesar de que todavía no se haya quitado el tick ese de subirse las gafas aunque que &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;no ha llevado gafas en su puñetera vida&lt;/span&gt;. Y aunque insista, de la manera esta tan feroz con la que está insistiendo, en llevar fotos de bebés en la carpeta, desfasada como está esa estética.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo eso es calderilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Diego hay que quererle como es, que viene a ser más o menos así:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SfpF7csJqOI/AAAAAAAAAgg/AqjnDLlCGNU/s1600-h/wild_things.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 257px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SfpF7csJqOI/AAAAAAAAAgg/AqjnDLlCGNU/s320/wild_things.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330649996562376930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No como el de la corona, sino el otro: mirándote siempre de reojillo, con la sonrisa a punto de estallar, ofreciéndote sus hombros para llevarte A TI de viaje, el muy loco, el muy generoso, el muy bestia, haciendo como que no es su cumpleaños, como que él está ahí para hacerte la vida más fácil A TI, ¡a ti!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo es que me parto, ¿somos hombres o payasos?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así cualquiera se siente rey o reina, aunque el día, en verdad, sea tuyo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disfrútalo, salvaje :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tu amiga, siempre,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Houdini&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-2023228939313177828?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/2023228939313177828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2009/04/wild-things.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/2023228939313177828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/2023228939313177828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2009/04/wild-things.html' title='wild things'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SfpGUg-acxI/AAAAAAAAAgo/BMuREgTGK_0/s72-c/baby.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-8734306790219910703</id><published>2009-04-29T17:37:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-20T12:37:11.865+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Te quiero ayudarme con la lengua espanola</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;¡&lt;span style="color: #330033;"&gt;Hola Houdini!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #330033;"&gt;¿Cómo estas?

Some popular favourites are:&lt;br /&gt;* 100g of &lt;a href="http://www.pmptoday.com/wp-content/uploads/blueberry-phone.jpg"&gt;blueberry&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.freshplaza.com/2007/0416/blueberries.jpg"&gt;arándanos&lt;/a&gt;, that is)&lt;br /&gt;* 100g of &lt;a href="http://slantpoetry.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/ist2_1120717-chocolate-chips.jpg"&gt;chocolate chips&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* 2 ripe bananas + 75g of chocolate chips&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the Seven Steps to Muffin Heaven:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a muffin tray with muffin cups. I love my new &lt;a href="http://www.packitgourmet.com/files/images/product/d_265.jpg"&gt;silicon muffin cups&lt;/a&gt;, and I'm delighted I can use them over, and over, and over again - which is, for those scientists amongst the audience, the potential amount of A HELL OF A LOT OF MUFFINS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;2. &lt;a href="http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=SIFT&amp;amp;dict=enes&amp;amp;B10=Search"&gt;Sift&lt;/a&gt; the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Add the salt and sugar, and mix thoroughly. When you're done, form a well in the centre of the mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Get a pot and melt the soya spread (or butter). Add the (soya) milk and &lt;a href="http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=whisk"&gt;whisked&lt;/a&gt; eggs, as well as the vanilla and cinnamon stick. Stir in the stove for a bit, but don't boil the goodness out of it. Please.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Pour the contents of the pot to the well in the centre of the mixing bowl. Do it slowly, show that you care. It'd be nice of you to take the the cinnamon stick out of this business. Stir briefly to combine until the mix has a sort of spoonable consistency. Not too stiff and dry, not too &lt;a href="http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=sloppy"&gt;sloppy&lt;/a&gt;. Apparently, you can add more (soya) milk if you need it, but I've never needed to do so - so why would you? :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. When the mix is ready, you should add your chosen flavouring and just fold it in the dough. What I normally do is - I divide the contents into two or three different bowls, so I can get different types of muffins out of the same basic mix! One bowl for chocolate chips only, one bowl for banana and chocolate chips, another one for blueberries. Winning combinations! Here's a couple of tips:&lt;br /&gt;* If you're adding some sort of fresh berry, don't stir them with too much passion - you may end up bursting them and colouring the dough. Although if you like your muffins to be blue, that's fine by me.&lt;br /&gt;* If you're adding bananas, put them on a plate first and mash them with a fork - not completely mashed, just a bit battered. Then add to the mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Spoon the mix into the muffin cases and bake in the oven for 30-35 min. They should come out lovely brown and smelling like heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Leave in the tin for 5 min. and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voilà!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SfJh9DRxVzI/AAAAAAAAAf4/3vMWDX-05Ek/s1600-h/DSCN1144.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SfJh9DRxVzI/AAAAAAAAAf4/3vMWDX-05Ek/s320/DSCN1144.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328429010612475698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sweet tooth, me?

Creo que lo dijo asi Pol, pero quiza estoy poniendo palabras en su boca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo no lo se, esto de mis huevazos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo es que siempre he tenido este paquete, sabes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mi es algo que nunca me ha llamado la atencion, vamos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El caso es que he hecho un calculo matematico infalible, y creo que debo estar en el circulo #8: hades sin hadas, ni "fadas"*, ni virgilio ni nada que se le parezca. Yo creo que ya tiene que quedar poquito. Yo creo que estoy a un paso ya de limbear, aunque no podria precisartelo - mis calculos son infalibles porque son aproximados, y a ver quien es el listo que refuta lo difuso, mis calculos son ciencia gaya, o gayer, la ciencia de cuando uno camina a tientas desde la habitacion al banyo a las tres de la madrugada, sorteando obstaculos de memoria y aprendiendo a ver sin verlo nada claro, a hacer lo que uno tiene que hacer sin molestar demasiado al projimo, que duerme placidamente en tus horas de insomnio mientras a ti te crujen los huesos como si acabaras de levantarte de un coma profundo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el circulo #8 tengo casa nueva, de finales del dieciocho, lista para entrar, ideal fantasmas. Tambien tengo tres companyeros de juego, con los que a veces bebo vino por la noche, otras veces por el dia, y a los que en ocasiones veo preparar un whiskicito antes de ir al trabajo, sobre todo si es martes y el reloj marca una hora impar. Tengo un colchon grandisimo para lo que vengo siendo yo, muy comodo - aunque aun mantiene el contorno de sus antiguos durmientes y, la verdad, esas convexidades y concavidades tan antropomorficas y tan frias no ayudan, en absoluto, y mucho menos a las 4:48. Pero bueno. Hay un pez, Fish, y una casera que se llama Roche y se apellida Nirvana. Tengo una chimenea en mi habitacion, pero yo la llamo fuego a tierra para enrabiar a los puristas. En las paredes hay imagenes de mineros britanicos y mujeres gritando a policias, y creo que quiere decir algo sobre "mi". A veces lloro a la salida de departamentos ministeriales, a veces lo hago en bares con &lt;a href="http://www.royalcourttheatre.com/files/downloads/SevenJewishChildren.pdf"&gt;escenarios improvisados&lt;/a&gt;. Pero a veces tambien me rio, rodando cuesta abajo, con el casco y todo ese equipo de seguridad ciclista tan ridiculamente fisher price que me traigo, sabiendome y queriendome mongola, recordando que al Malaga le huele tanto la mierda que se nota aunque la puerta del banyo este cerrada, riendome porque el cielo es monstruosamente precioso en esta isla, porque en casa Caroline me va a ofrecer lacteos, riendo porque el viento silba en esta isla, porque Conor se va a reir de mi con carinyo y eso me gusta, porque soy capaz de querer aunque ya no me quieran, y porque soy plenamente consciente de lo inconsciente que estoy siendo al dejar que las cosas caigan por su propio peso, al querer criar algo de musgo, al querer que se pose un poquito el polvo sobre el hamster, la rueda y la madre que pario a todo este berengenal. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Todo lo demas seria una traicion. Y eso si que no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/Se8QzTss4aI/AAAAAAAAAfo/wZc07qqEXQw/s1600-h/x.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;

Y no los millones de cartas, mails, regalos y sobornos que he recibido, chavales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contextualizo: una colega y yo ponemos un anuncio en Internet para conseguir compañeros de piso. Y la primera respuesta que recibimos es ésta. Esto es real. Estas cosas pasan. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It's a win-win situation&lt;/span&gt;, dice el tío:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Hi there,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;I just saw your add about teaming up. I'd love to and looking for something about max 600. and I like that you are non smokers too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;I am 28 old professional (M.Sc. Int.Business) guy from Denmark. Last&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;year I got a nice job offer at an IT company here in Dublin and that is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;why I moved to Ireland. I am planning on staying here for at least the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;next 2 years or maybe more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; As a person I am very easy going, open, non-smoker. I am very&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;submissive to women. You can use me as your house slave! (I like it!!!) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;I'd love to be used as your servant and would obey your every word and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;will do everything you would tell me to. cleaning, polishing, bringing you&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;food, even do your laundry or I can iron your suits or shirts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; I lived with 2 german women before and they had kinda a bit aggressive and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;dominant personality, so in a way they were commanding me, giving me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;orders and using me. They were even using me to polish all their 54 pair &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;of shoes and iron their cloth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;You are probably very nice and don't want to use or abuse others but in&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;this case it is a bit different as I would enjoy doing it (be your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;servant). I think it is because.. well I always, at university and at work, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;have to make decisions, choices and manage people, teams or projects... at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;the end it sometimes gets too much and I really wish that someone else&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;could tell me  something to do.. or decide something for me or use me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; Just look at it from your own perspective.. even if you would use me to do&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;things for you, I would enjoy it, it is a win-win situation.  It would save &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;you so much time and energy.. why would you need to spend your time and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;energy, especially when you come home from work, tired and just want to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;relax, but no you have to clean, do the dishes, or laundry etc.. I would do&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;all that for you, I would enjoy it and would be greatfull. You would be&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;having so much more time. You can even make fun of me while I am cleaning &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;or polishing your shoes :).  Just imagine that if you were Princesses and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;have your own personal house slave-servant (who is happy to serve). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt; I know it sounds a bit crazy but I just hope you are a bit open minded.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Just think about your self, your career, time, fun.... You wont find &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;another idiot like me :) Please just give me a chance, just try me out. if &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;you dont like it.. it is fine. I dont expect or demand anything.

Instead, in the asking, in the petition, we have already become something new, since we are constituted by virtue of the address, a need and desire for the Other that takes place in language in the broadest sense, one without which we could not be. To ask for recognition, or to offer it, is precisely not to ask for recognition for what one already is. It is to solicit a becoming, to instigate a transformation, to petition the future always in relation to the Other. It is also to stake one's own being, and one's own persistence in one's own being, in the struggle for recognition" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judith Butler. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence&lt;/span&gt;.

You might even see a face in it which might remind you of your own, of what you once were.  You might see faces of others, in shadow, or cheeks of others, turning, or jaws, or backs of necks, or eyes, dark under hats, which remind you of others, whom you once knew, whom you thought long dead, but from whom you will still receive a sidelong glance, if you can face the good ghost.  Allow the love of the good ghost.  They possess all that emotion... trapped.  Bow to it.  It will assuredly never release them, but who knows... what relief... it may give to them... who knows how they may quicken... in their chains, in their glass jars.  You think it cruel... to quicken them, when they are fixed, imprisoned?  No... no.  Deeply, deeply, they wish to respond to your touch, to your look, and when you smile, their joy... is unbounded.

Check out the chronology:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2006&lt;/strong&gt;. A few days after meeting Sef &amp;amp; Helen, we decided to drink Sef's home-made cider (you gotta love him) in uni. We were &lt;em&gt;technically&lt;/em&gt; inside the library, although we werent' surrounded by books. &lt;em&gt;Apuntando maneras&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5th Dec. 2008&lt;/strong&gt;. Sef smuggles some stolen wine into the library (I say stolen, of course, for lack of a better word). This time he is technically, and quite literally too, inside the very James Joyce Library building. It's a Friday, it's 9pm, and the guards are too busy clipping their toenails to even care. Our hero makes it to floor 3 or 4, clumsily opens the door of his study room while some poor fucker gives him a puzzled look. The poor old fucker is probably at the peak of his study-night stress, and he's thinking: "HOW DARE YOU??" Oh Yeah!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12th Dec. 2008&lt;/strong&gt;. Sef and Helen give me a motherfucker of a bottle of Baileys &amp;amp; a pack of After Eight mints as part of my birth-week presents! Yey! I've never OWNED alcohol, never ever in 28 years. What's a girl to do? Well, it's 3pm, it's raining, my laptop and study tools are still in the library, so I stick the bottle inside my bag, and bring my innocent yet half-pissed face upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I write, Ms Baileys is leaning on my leg, like a little cat, or a puppy after being lost in a big city, like a little cherub head at the feet of Virgin Mary in one of those &lt;a href="http://www.wga.hu/art/z/zurbaran/2/immacula.jpg"&gt;awfully religious Renaissance paintings&lt;/a&gt;. Aw, such a comforting feeling! And I'm not even referring to alcohol, or alco-nerdism here, but to being mischievous, and secretly knowing it, and enjoying it while not being caught.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sef, Helen: we certainly ARE &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the cat's pyjamas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; :-D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SUKTsR0qocI/AAAAAAAAAbk/a9tykdH6nyE/s1600-h/407907091_c0b9da2df0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278944102139470274" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SUKTsR0qocI/AAAAAAAAAbk/a9tykdH6nyE/s320/407907091_c0b9da2df0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;According to OED, the cat's pyjamas is: (slang, orig.

I'm whoring myself to the blogosphere here!]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The library is absolutely packed with the proximity of the exams. It's like this year's Beerfest is taking place in the Anglo-Irish Literature area, party starts at 9am and people stay until the bitter end. Not that I mind Sef smuggling booze into his little study room upstairs during some foggy night, don't take me wrong! That's perfectly OK, as long as I've tasted the wine first, for health &amp;amp; safety reasons, and as long as I don't have to cycle home afterwards in a dubious state, for different health &amp;amp; safety reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like any fest, the library is a promising space that always ends up being too crowded. There's a woman whose laptop has the volume permanently ON, so we all know when she's minimising windows or connecting her USB pen drive. And she ALWAYS chooses the seat behind me, like we're playing some ultra jinxed musical chairs game. Someone's compulsively eating clementines this morning. The obligatory study mates are whispering to my left. To my right, there's this guy sweating his life away over [quick look over my shoulder] law!

Quoting a great poet of our times, Kylie Minogue, I can't get you out of my head, dissertation. Surely that's some unrevealed intertext there! As of yet ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what I need is some RRH, &lt;strong&gt;Random Reminders of Happiness! &lt;/strong&gt;Such as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I am very loved by many people. REMEMBER, HOUDINI!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I'm keeping a GREAT secret for someone GREAT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I'm going to Manchester soon, yipeee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I could do the MA essays, therefore I can do the bloody thesis!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I bought my own Christmas present: three QUIRKY and CHEAP t-shirts! And I'm waiting for them to be posted. Bring it on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I've started reading &lt;em&gt;The Tibetan Book of the Dead&lt;/em&gt;, and it's FUCKING AWESOME.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Right, even in the event of failure (and not doing "that well" in the thesis wouldn't even amount to failure), I have learned an awful lot. REMEMBER, HOUDINI!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- There's a huge celebration waiting for me when I go home in February. I can tell you now I'll feel like Ulysses, man!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- This stupid picture of a mate of mine always makes me smile. He is the perfect reincarnation of Christ, don't you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/ST6Eiso22eI/AAAAAAAAAbU/KwpGibwYkDA/s1600-h/n1427911130_30132553_6771.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277801544957745634" style="width: 320px; height: 240px;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/ST6Eiso22eI/AAAAAAAAAbU/KwpGibwYkDA/s320/n1427911130_30132553_6771.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now I'm a believer&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See?

Saqueo de algunas embajadas. Muñecos de Bush quemados en los parques. Suerte que LA KELLY y LA SHANNON se me van a Michigan a ver a sus familiares y vecinos, y me prestan el pisito. Curraré mucho, Queridos Reyes Magos. Si alguien celebra el fin de año, que se vaya despidiendo de nuestra amistad. Capítulo 3 y conclusiones.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Del 6 al 15 de Ene. Últimos retoques, relecturas. ¿Habré acabado el maldito capítulo? Me da a mí que no. Párrafos a última hora, ideas a destajo. &lt;em&gt;Bulletproof proofreading&lt;/em&gt;. Sálvese quien pueda.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;16 de Ene. HARD BINDING. Aquí viene cuando lo matan. Aquí viene cuando, una vez lo tienes en tus manos en forma de libro, con su tapa dura y sus letras doradas, te das cuenta de siete mil &lt;em&gt;typos&lt;/em&gt;. En trance, me pregunto: ¿Ay, terminé el capítulo 3 de los huevos? &lt;em&gt;Ah well&lt;/em&gt;. Está encuadernado, qué más da. Lililí!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;17 de Ene. Vuelo a Manchester, con los dos libritos bajo el sobaco.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;19 de Ene. Entrega. Karma Chameleon, Full Montys delante de la facultad de ciencias, la de letras, la de medicina; &lt;em&gt;riots&lt;/em&gt; en &lt;em&gt;the library lounge&lt;/em&gt;, chutes de LSD, de ADSL -lo que haga falta.

Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire. The emotion derives from a double contact: on the one hand, a whole activity of discourse discreetly, indirectly, focuses on a single signified, which is 'I desire you', and releases, nourishes, ramifies it to the point of explosion (language experiences orgasm upon touching itself); on the other hand, i enwrap the other in my words, I caress, brush against, talk up this contact, I extend myself to make the commentary to which I submit the relation endure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(To speak amorously is to expend without an end in sight, without a &lt;em&gt;crisis&lt;/em&gt;; it is to practice a relation without orgasm. There may exist a literary form of this &lt;em&gt;coitus reservatus&lt;/em&gt;: what we call Marivaudage).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;* * * * * * * * * * * &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;pourquoi&lt;/em&gt; / why&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even as he obsessively asks himself why he is not loved, the amorous subject&lt;br /&gt;lives in the belief that the loved object does love him but does not tell him&lt;br /&gt;so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;2. Soon (or simultaneously) the question is no longer "Why don't you love me?" but "Why do you only love me &lt;em&gt;a little&lt;/em&gt;? What does it mean, loving "a little"? I live under the regime of &lt;em&gt;too much &lt;/em&gt;or &lt;em&gt;not enough&lt;/em&gt;; greedy for coincidence as I am, everything which is not total seems parsimonious; what I want is to occupy a site &lt;em&gt;from which quantities are no longer perceived&lt;/em&gt;, and from which all accounts are banished.

It’s infesting the internet, it’s taking over the big screen, it’s cutting you off, it’s showing up on your bank statement, it’s staining your new shirt, it’s breathing down your neck, it’s not giving you a vacation, it’s talking behind your back, it’s stuffing you in a locker, it’s cheating on you, it’s charging you more, it’s giving you less, and it’s making you miserable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s making me miserable! I don’t think I know of a single person who couldn’t use some encouragement, so here it is! This is a two-part project, and the first part is simple: We are going to create a gallery of encouragement!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use this gallery to encourage a close friend or someone you just happened to pass by on the street. You can encourage a relative who may be ill or the girl who handed you your coffee this morning. You could even use this place to encourage yourself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep your message fairly short. Say what you mean with as few words as possible (a general rule for good writing anyways). Feel free to be very specific about the person you are writing to, but do not use their name. Please limit yourself to one message (the volume of submissions is already insane). Please send in your encouraging words via email to this address: encouragement@booooooom.com. Your message will be displayed as a simple, anonymous, image in the gallery. Submissions will be accepted until Friday, December 5th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part two will be explained in December, as the project shifts over to &lt;a href="http://www.designformankind.com/"&gt;Design for Mankind&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let the encouragement begin!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've just sent mine, woooohoooooooo! :-D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-1603673716931467723?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/1603673716931467723/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/11/free-encouragement-project_5815.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/1603673716931467723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/1603673716931467723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/11/free-encouragement-project_5815.html' title='free encouragement project!'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SS7nX7SZ1WI/AAAAAAAAAac/J-lIZa2ZK30/s72-c/encouragingwords_153.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-8895527783223238027</id><published>2008-11-26T12:20:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-26T01:09:38.058+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mixtapes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><title type='text'>something in the way?</title><content type='html'>If you had asked me on (quick glance at my socks) a Thursday, I would have replied "Nirvana, nevermind". Without a shadow of doubt. Back to my roots, back to my hood, back to the times when a kid at school accused me of making up band names just to sound interesting, and I only dared to rebel by osmosis, listening to records in my room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet I much rather mess up the whole sock business, for the sake of the fresh feeling that is, that &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; is, so that I think it's always Friday morning or Saturday night, or the two merging into one like this is Iceland; so that I can swear on my life I've never, ever, had that kind of tea, even if I bought it and made you a cuppa; so that I can answer your question with no roots attached and no coward stance -no grunge, no grudge. Please, let's not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you asked me right now, whatever day two-day may be, I think I'd say: "Friday, I mean, Saturday, I mean, Robert Smith, I mean, James Taylor", and I know that even then you'll feel fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.seeqpod.com/cache/seeqpodSlimlineEmbed.swf" wmode="transparent" width="300" height="80" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="domain=http://www.seeqpod.com&amp;playlistXMLPath=http://www.seeqpod.com/api/music/getPlaylist?playlist_id=6f9302a83c"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-8895527783223238027?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/8895527783223238027/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/11/something-in-way_2745.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/8895527783223238027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/8895527783223238027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/11/something-in-way_2745.html' title='something in the way?'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-3502771856563497331</id><published>2008-11-21T18:01:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-26T01:09:38.068+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paintings'/><title type='text'>painting</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SSbpznLgSAI/AAAAAAAAAaM/cLdX1xZzYRE/s1600-h/Painting_1946.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271157486783580162" style="WIDTH: 213px;

And I'm going to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FACT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WIKIPEDIA IT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;YES, WE CAN!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, I'm sick and tired of, literally, being sick and tired so often, so regularly that one thing rolls into the next and, before I know it, I've gone through a bout of gastroenteritis, two mastitis, a sore throat, sunny spells and scattered showers in the space of a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I've decided to put my foot down and start getting well -at least, wih my asthma. The rest will happen at its own time, we'll burn or jump off bridges when we come to them. One thing is for sure, though: by 2009, my inhaler will be a thing of the past, an antiques item, something to show the neighbours' kids, something to threaten Manc rapists with. Hell yeah!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SRyqelFil9I/AAAAAAAAAZU/vQ5Kox5XWmM/s1600-h/inhaler.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268273106444785618" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 221px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SRyqelFil9I/AAAAAAAAAZU/vQ5Kox5XWmM/s320/inhaler.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://courtneyreagor.com/home.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Courtney Reagor&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; hasn't made her mind yet, GOSH!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Listen, if Tom has decided he won't go bald, I can decide this -right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm cycling for an hour a day, steep bits and all! 30min. on my way to UCD, and then another 30 on the way back, with a glorious ten-minute freewheeling, and no sweaty back thanks to my new Dawes panniers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, there's Yoga. I'm absolutely convinced Yoga'll show me the light. I told you I started that Ashtanga Yoga course with Ms Mal. Lovely woman. Polish. Fit as you'll never be. Giving it loads. And she ain't takin' no shit from no one. If you gotta bend for such and such &lt;a href="http://www.paulfoxashtanga.co.uk/asana/asana.htm"&gt;asana&lt;/a&gt;, you just gotta do. If she wants you to tense &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; muscle between your anus and your genitals (the good old &lt;a href="http://www.paulfoxashtanga.co.uk/theory.htm"&gt;moola bhanda&lt;/a&gt;), she'll subject you to her power and you'll just lock your moola bhanda as if your life depended on it! "Yoga is no relax!". "Ashanga, heat, heat!", "Ashtanga, power!" was all I could hear while I was bending and twisting beyond belief. It suddenly dawned on me that her surname was suspiciously S&amp;amp;M-ish, something like being called Beatrix Dominatrix, but more subtle, more stylish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fuckin' loved it! :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1620548.stm"&gt;BBC website&lt;/a&gt; it says that Asthanga yoga "produces an intense internal heat" (scroll down all that Madonna and Sting stuff) and that the "deep, rhythmic breathing" they teach you "can help to relieve respiratory complaints including asthma". There you go! My asthma solved by 2009!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The type of breathing we were taught on Wednesday was called &lt;a href="http://www.yogabasics.com/practice/ujjayi-pranayama.html"&gt;Ujjayi Pranayama&lt;/a&gt;, "the ocean sounding breath". To be honest with you, it sounded like someone who's just about to start snoring but just won't do it, that frustrating deep breath that, if you detect it in the middle of the night in, say, a youth hostel, it will keep you wide awake and with a killer instinct for hours on end. Right, OK, suspension of disbelief: our teacher sounded &lt;em&gt;just&lt;/em&gt; like the waves of the bluest Polish ocean. But, for the life of me, I just couldn't do it. Apparently, you have to contract the glottis while inhaling and exhaling until you make that noise, just before you die. Unfortunately I can only contract my glottis when I try to sound Cockney, inni'? Lame, I know, but I'll get better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashtanga was extremely exhausting, at times it felt it was even too vigorous to actually have paid for it. By the end of the session, my legs felt like Uma Thurman's in &lt;em&gt;Kill Bill &lt;/em&gt;after her being in hospital for a looooong time: absolutely useless. It's mad how someone can make you exercise until you drop and then &lt;em&gt;allow&lt;/em&gt; you to relax, and convince you that in doing so you're getting rid of all your fears, stresses and bad vibes. That, from that moment, you're focusing on being happy, peaceful and free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I got on my bike today, achey as hell but feeling absurdely blissful. I managed to cycle to uni without using my inhaler, not even at the steepest bit, by the river. When I got to the library, I e-mailed Fiona at the Sports Centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, it'll be twice a week. Next Monday, Hatha Yoga.

Lo que hace Beckett, chavales, es para ponerse a llorar de puro placer, salir a las calles corriendo y empezar a besar a viejas, ir regalando dinero o chicles o billetes de autobús usados, es para ir a la Rambla, o a O'Connell St, o a Market St, tanto da, depende del día de la semana y del mes del año, dependendiendo de tus &lt;em&gt;ups&lt;/em&gt; y tus &lt;em&gt;downs&lt;/em&gt;, es para ir, digo, y perdonar a todos los chorizos, estatuas humanas, palomas inmundas, a todos los que esperan, a todos los que esperan &lt;em&gt;conscientemente&lt;/em&gt;, a todos los que hacen, benditamente, de la espera un juego, es para arremolinarse a los pies de estatua de &lt;a href="http://www.siptu.ie/media/Media,3429,en.jpg"&gt;James Larkin&lt;/a&gt; (thanks, Sef) e incitar a todos al levantamiento, y que todos te sigan, mágicamente, como en Hamelin. Sam, os lo digo yo, la toca como nadie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No tengo ganas de jugar a periodistas, no te comentaré &lt;em&gt;Happy Days&lt;/em&gt; al detalle. Bien sabe &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.tutibiagolpeamiboca.blogspot.com"&gt;Diego&lt;/a&gt; que las críticas son para los críticos, y a mí no me pagan por esto. Sólo diré lo obvio: que la producción británica, con la irlandesa &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiona_Shaw"&gt;Fiona Shaw&lt;/a&gt; como protagonista, es inmensa, no te la acabas. Otra obviedad: es curioso el vampirismo británico, o el simplismo propio, que hace que pasen como grandes obras/autores de la literatura inglesa (i.e. en inglés) lo que en realidad es otra cosa, mucho más compleja. Y me queda otra en la recámara: más allá de la devoción literaria, a mí, un hombre es capaz de escribir como Dios en su propia lengua y decide hacerlo en la extraña para después deshacer la madeja, me parece un superhéroe, un políglota en el sentido Braidottiano de la palabra. Y diré de paso lo mucho que estremece el entendimiento y la hermandad bastarda que se despiertan un irlandés y palestino, ese &lt;em&gt;I was there&lt;/em&gt;, ese &lt;em&gt;I still am.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google no me aclara las dudas: estoy 100% segura de que, antes de Hichcock, hubo algún ruso o polaco, cuentista o novelista, que dijo aquello de que, si al principio de un relato sabíamos de una pistola guardada en un cajón, la historia no terminaría sin que la pistola fuera usada. Beckett, por supuesto, se pasa todo eso por el forro. ¿Por qué? Pues porque no hace falta. Porque el miedo y la tensión la sabe meter dentro, hasta tal punto que una pistola no es más que un pintalabios en un bolso, una flor en un jarrón, un estúpido objeto de fetiche que no consigue, aunque lo intente, desviar la atención de lo que realmente importa.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-5867452257113699626?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/5867452257113699626/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/11/prisons-we-choose-to-live-in_3462.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/5867452257113699626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/5867452257113699626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/11/prisons-we-choose-to-live-in_3462.html' title='prisons we choose to live in'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SRA0X52Km9I/AAAAAAAAAYc/Y_9xCKYNgss/s72-c/2008_Happy-Days_lrg-3gif_23072008-180253.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-8473480150273433722</id><published>2008-10-31T11:52:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-26T01:09:38.202+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yoga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dublin'/><title type='text'>mail inbox</title><content type='html'>Hi Houdini,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to your Beginner Asthanga Yoga class!

Quiero decir, ¿siempre? ¿así, así de destructivamente? Aclararé tus dudas: ni estoy quemando mi sujetador (que feministas y lesbianos los y las hay de muchos tipos), ni creo que la respuesta sea un sí rotundo. Pero la pregunta es tan jodidamente inevitable después de ver estos tres peliculotes, que la tengo que vocalizar, te la tengo que soltar a bocajarro, porque yo también tengo un alma y también está cargada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡Piñum, piñum!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;There Will Be Blood&lt;/em&gt; (2007) Dir. Paul Thomas Anderson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SPMSHulJ06I/AAAAAAAAAXs/BtW-FlJC8AI/s1600-h/2007_there_will_be_blood_013.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256565114043749282" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SPMSHulJ06I/AAAAAAAAAXs/BtW-FlJC8AI/s320/2007_there_will_be_blood_013.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;There Will Be Blood&lt;/em&gt;. Te voy a decir mi verdad: &lt;em&gt;There Will Be Blood&lt;/em&gt; es una de esas películas que más te gustan cuanto más las piensas: estéticamente, narrativamente, jodidamente, &lt;em&gt;you name it&lt;/em&gt;.Y todo esto aunque la temática sea (porque en el fondo lo es) tan y tan &lt;em&gt;cautionary tale&lt;/em&gt;, tan y tan &lt;em&gt;caputxeta vermella&lt;/em&gt;. Porque lo es, tendrás que reconocerlo, y lo es a un nivel global, cubriendo no sólo al protagonista, con su ambición totalmente vacua y agriada, sino a todos y cada uno de los buscavidas que se le arriman. Una historia totalmente &lt;em&gt;fin-de-siécle&lt;/em&gt; (y lo digo pensando en el siglo XIX pero también en el XX, que está acabando aquí y ahora, con el &lt;em&gt;credit crunch&lt;/em&gt; y la recesión). Cuando el optimismo Darwinista se desvance, surgen las dudas: ¿Y si &lt;em&gt;the&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;survival of the fittest&lt;/em&gt; no equivale a evolución sino a degeneración? ¿Y si nos estamos autodevorando? Brutal. Gracias, Pol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Miller's Crossing&lt;/em&gt; (1990) Dir.

De nuevo, otra versión de individualismo: el del gángster sin un gang, el del hombre sin una mujer, etc. Muy correcto todo. Pero a mí lo que más me gustó, y supongo que a Javier Cercas también le debió gustar mucho, es la falta de respuestas: ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué uno no aprieta el gatillo en la situación A y sin embargo lo hace en las situaciones B, C y D? &lt;em&gt;Friendship is a mental state!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vacas&lt;/em&gt; (1992) Dir.

This top-secret flash mob theatre event as part of the Festival brought the ILAC Shopping Centre in Dublin city centre to a standstill when unsuspecting shoppers witnessed a mysterious outbreak of kissing couples in the main concourse. To the haunting sound of the song “Llorando”, bystanders watched as apparent strangers came together, drawn by some strange emotional force and began to kiss. The best thing was some of the passers-by joined in! Then, as quickly as it had begun, the kissing couples parted, melting once more into the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Details of the event were kept top secret and the almost 100 brave actors who signed up for the show had no idea until lunchtime on Saturday where the performance would happen and what it would involve.

The promise of such a possibility for Derrida's philosophy is that it presents the most likely path for its effective politicisation. The promise of such a possibility for anarchism is that the difficulties facing radical activists in their desire for ethical experience, as well as the problem of the state, can be effectively reformulated. It is therefore argued that there is good reason to explain Derrida's philosophy to anarchists and anarchism to Derrida's philosophy. This paper begins with an exposition of Husserl's phenomenological reduction and Derrida's critical engagement with the possibility of this methodology. Derrida's problematisation of the phenomenological reduction offers a means of explaining some of the difficulties faced by feminists and anarchists seeking a radically different experience of life without patriarchal and authoritarian influence. As well as explaining some of the problems faced by radical activists, Derrida's problematisation of the phenomenological reduction lends itself superbly to an ethical questioning of the state. This ethical argument suggested by Derrida's mode of thought is that any attempt to instantiate a moral structure through the state necessarily involves an impossible attempt to suspend morality in relation to the state itself. This argument not only functions as a reformulation of the classic anarchist critique of sovereign authority, it also creates a way of effectively explaining the problem with the current extension of state power by understanding them as attempts to put morality even further out of play"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y el borrador del artículo entero te saldrá si haces un Google de: "Seferin James" anarchism y Derrida. ¡Obviamente!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.convencionbautista.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/JacquesDerrida.130145528_std.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Uuuuh, you touch my tralalá. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-7106410425443435056?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/7106410425443435056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/10/check-out-my-mate-sexy-brain_5275.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/7106410425443435056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/7106410425443435056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/10/check-out-my-mate-sexy-brain_5275.html' title='check out my mate&amp;#39;s sexy brain'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-3971086427157347243</id><published>2008-10-06T11:07:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-02-26T01:09:38.371+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='books'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roots'/><title type='text'>la Casa Ideal</title><content type='html'>"Era una especie de &lt;em&gt;lacerance, dolorosa maravilla&lt;/em&gt;. No sé si se hace una idea, coronel. Es algo así como cuando miras los trenecitos eléctricos, sobre todo si está la maqueta, con la estación y los túneles, las vacas en el prado y las lucecitas encendidas a ambos lados de los pasos a nivel. También ocurre ahí. O bien cuando se ve en los dibujos animados la casa de los ratoncitos, con las cajas de cerillas haciendo de camas, y el cuadro del ratón abuelo en la pared, la estantería, y una cuchara que hace de mecedora. Sientes una especie de consolación, dentro de ti, casi una &lt;em&gt;revelación&lt;/em&gt;, que te abre el alma de par en par, por decirlo de algún modo, pero simultáneamente una especie de punzada, la sensación de una pérdida irremediable, y definitiva. Una dulce catástrofe. Creo que tiene que ver con el hecho de estar siempre &lt;em&gt;fuera&lt;/em&gt;, en esos momentos siempre estás ahí, mirándolo &lt;em&gt;desde fuera&lt;/em&gt;. No puedes entrar en el trenecito, eso es lo que ocurre, y la casa de los ratones permanece ahí, en la televisión, y tú estás irremediablemente &lt;em&gt;delante&lt;/em&gt;, la miras y eso es lo único que puedes hacer. También aquella Casa Ideal, aquel día: podías entrar en ella, si lo deseabas, hacías un rato de cola y podías entrar para visitar el interior. Pero si lo hacías no era lo msimo. Había un montón de cosas interesantes, era curioso, hasta podías tocar las figuras de adorno, pero ya no existía aquella maravilla de cuando la habías visto desde fuera, esa sensación ya no existía. Es algo raro. Cuando resulta que ves el lugar donde estarías &lt;em&gt;salvado&lt;/em&gt;, siempre estás ahí mirándolo &lt;em&gt;desde fuera&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alessandro Baricco. &lt;em&gt;City&lt;/em&gt;.

Pese a un arranque un tanto lento, si le das la mano a ciegas el libro te agarra el brazo y te lo pulveriza, te lo masculla y te lo escupe al suelo mientras te susurra al oido las consabidas consignas políticas. A menudo los &lt;em&gt;lefties&lt;/em&gt; nos llenamos la boca con "las contradicciones del capitalismo". ¿Y qué hay de las contradicciones del comunismo? ¿Y de las contradicciones del feminismo? ¿Es posible conciliar la teoría política con el activismo, los ideales con la praxis, y salir ileso, ser consecuente? ¿Qué es preferible: ensuciarse las manos o no mojarse en absoluto? Como en &lt;em&gt;The Grass is Singing&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Good Terrorist&lt;/em&gt; consigue enredarte en estas y otras diatribas políticas sin apenas dejarte salir de una casa, qué digo, de la mente de una mujer (otra) intentando domesticar la locura -la de dentro, y la de fuera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Doris Lessing (1988) &lt;em&gt;The Fifth Child&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SOOMffxVBDI/AAAAAAAAAXU/pZnBkj2F2jE/s1600-h/9780586089033.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252196063176361010" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SOOMffxVBDI/AAAAAAAAAXU/pZnBkj2F2jE/s320/9780586089033.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo mismo que &lt;em&gt;Frankenstein&lt;/em&gt; en el siglo XIX, y que &lt;em&gt;We Need to Talk About Kevin&lt;/em&gt; en el XXI.

Couldn't help it, here I am. Remember when I said "I have 99 problems so you better understand my absence and suport me, otherwise go 'fuck yourself' or 'please die'!"? Remember when I said that? I didn't &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; mean it. Of course I didn't!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Or did I? ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same old same old contradictory, slippery houdini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's hot hot hot news:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I'm going to the airport tomorrow, and someone will actually be flying with me&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;That feels nice, for a change. Maybe I need more of these to exorcize airports, we want more trips and metaholidays than fucked up spiritual journeys! I'm not scared of flying -flying is safer than it would seem these days, I keep telling my dad. I feel safe, up in the sky. It's the solid ground that freaks me out. I'm scared of craving for the things I leave behind at my departure, over and over again; and I'm scared of the things I'll have to face at my arrival, because problems have the fucking patience of Job, and wherever you leave them I can guarantee you that they'll be sitting around, doing their own thing, grinding their knives, polishing their shoes -whatever it takes to spit in your face the very second you are back where you left them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of that, this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I'm going to visit two amazing cities AND my dad's birthplace, at Jimena de la Frontera&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Frontera&lt;/span&gt; as in border, frontier. Which makes me think of the words of an old workmate, Xavi (aka Xavi Wan Kenobi). I bumped into him yesterday, I hadn't seen him in ages. After the obligatory "long time, no see" he said: "I've always thought of you as one of those bounty hunters in westerns, a nomadic wanderer wearing a Stetson, a bandana and a rifle, riding to wherever your instinct or your steed takes you, belonging neither here nor there but to the frontier". The frontier, as in &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Frontera&lt;/span&gt;, Jimena de la Frontera. Maybe that's were it all begins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SM2J6cD1xtI/AAAAAAAAATs/juhObUEQPvQ/s1600-h/jimena.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SM2J6cD1xtI/AAAAAAAAATs/juhObUEQPvQ/s320/jimena.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246000778014213842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SM2KnpDWgaI/AAAAAAAAAT0/c3hPa51HaNQ/s1600-h/CastilloDesdeJimena.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SM2KnpDWgaI/AAAAAAAAAT0/c3hPa51HaNQ/s320/CastilloDesdeJimena.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246001554595938722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SM2LmPRavfI/AAAAAAAAAT8/31d25_MEhAE/s1600-h/CastilloJimena.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SM2LmPRavfI/AAAAAAAAAT8/31d25_MEhAE/s320/CastilloJimena.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246002630007373298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-4754301215842416300?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/4754301215842416300/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/09/je-suis-une-bounty-hunter-baby_14.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/4754301215842416300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/4754301215842416300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/09/je-suis-une-bounty-hunter-baby_14.html' title='je suis une bounty hunter, baby'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SM2J6cD1xtI/AAAAAAAAATs/juhObUEQPvQ/s72-c/jimena.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-7943058974723715497</id><published>2008-09-13T21:39:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-02-26T01:09:38.439+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spain is pain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='roots'/><title type='text'>pep talk to self</title><content type='html'>Ya no escribo por aquí porque otras ocupaciones me lo impiden. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The good thing is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I have my priorities sorted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tachado de mi lista la química -entre otras cosas, porque no me apetece comprobar si formo parte del 10% que escucha voces o ruidos, que presenta cambios bruscos de personalidad, tiene visiones psicotrópicas (wow) o siente un profundo sueño cuando equis (X). Nop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me queda, pues, la física.

Y esto lo llevo yo en la sangre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- ¿Pero quieres decir tú que el bonobus éste voy a utilizarlo yo &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;doce&lt;/span&gt; meses al año?&lt;br /&gt;- ¡Pues sácate un mensual, titi!&lt;br /&gt;- Es que el mensual sale por &lt;a href="http://www.dublinbus.ie/fares_and_tickets/monthly.asp"&gt;85€&lt;/a&gt; o (atención: detallazo) 84€ si eres estudiante.&lt;br /&gt;- Mira, quédate en España, y con el dinero del bus te me das la entrada para un piso en Cubelles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo mejor es que ésta es la gama &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;low-life &lt;/span&gt;del transporte público, es decir, sin posibilidad de transbordos en tren (DART) ni en tranvía (LUAS) -¿&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;pa qué&lt;/span&gt;?  Si quisieras un &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;upgrade&lt;/span&gt; a un abono de gama alta, tendríamos que empezar a hablar de felatios por segundo y tráfico de órganos. Ya tú sabes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No sé por qué toleran este abuso. Esto en España daba para una guerra civil y para el fusilamiento de la Generación del 2007, con sus supuestos &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.madreidiota.blogspot.com"&gt;caníbales&lt;/a&gt; y etcétera. Si esto estuviera sucediendo en Barcelona, en la Autònoma se pararían las clases, se destrozarían los cajeros automáticos y las cabinas telefónicas, y no acababa el temario ni la escoria de CC. de la Comunicación. Y aquí no hay tu tía (esta expresión siempre me ha fascinado). En Dublín, sin embargo, este  ultraje diario lo llevan con con una dignidad pasmosa. Se pasean todos como salidos todos de la pelu, lavar y marcar diario, derechitos para quién sabe qué boda, con la seguridad del que sabe que la novia no se fuga y que luego hay un piscolabis con el mejor jamón y vino de Francia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un asco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo me siento Oliver Twist por sus calles, aquí la mierda en las bambas no es&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; cool &lt;/span&gt;como en la escena/eczema Barcelonesa. Aquí soy (Oh No) &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;another Spaniard&lt;/span&gt;: alguién con un peinado "continental" y ropa accidentalmente pasada de moda, alguien que habla inglés raro, que obstaculiza las aceras de la ciudad, que grita demasiado, alguien que todavía usa jerseys de lana. Para Irlanda, como para el Reino Unido, somos esa prima del pueblo, cateta y bienintencionada, a la que se tirarían repetidamente pero con la que no tienen ni la más remota intención de casarse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quizás exagero. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Or do I?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me siento así a menudo.

Con ellos sé que la Revolución no es cuestión de días, como piensa Dara: la Revolución es una cuestión no tangible pero sí parcialmente viable, algo mucho más silencioso, tenaz y tocapelotas  -como plantarse delante de una agencia cristiana (pro-life) que da asesoramiento "anti-aborto" a chicas embarazadas y sacar a la luz la ristra de mentiras que cuentan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total, que con ellos sé que (mi vida en) Dublín, y si me pongo tonta te diré que (en) el Mundo, será mucho mejor. Echaré de menos a Enrique, a Tom y -esto que quede entre tú y yo- a Mike, ni que sea por las risas que he echado a su cuenta. Pero todo irá bien, de un modo u otro. Estoy más cerca de la cima que antes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y me voy a comprar una bici.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me he enamorado de esta &lt;a href="http://www.trekbikes.com/uk/en/bikes/women/bike_path/navigator20equippedwsde/"&gt;Trek Navigator 2.0&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SL0VZWuCutI/AAAAAAAAATM/z1eQTIUHsb4/s1600-h/trek.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SL0VZWuCutI/AAAAAAAAATM/z1eQTIUHsb4/s320/trek.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241369066668735186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En EE.

And you know what I tell them? I tell them: the day I was born! You know why? You know why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Cos I was born a woman! [thunderous roar from women] Ah! We've got some noisy females in the house tonight. I do like to hear that high-pitched sound! I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, being a woman is so interesting, don't you find it? What are we ladies, what are we? We're waitresses at the banquet of life! Get into that kitchen and rattle them pots and pans, and you'd better look pretty good doing it too, or else you're going to lose your good thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And why do we do that? I'll tell you why we do that: we do that to find love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I love to be in love, don't you love to be in love? Ain't it great to be in love? Ain't it wonderful? Ain't it just grand to lie there late at night in your bed, waiting for your man to show up? And when he finally does, round about 4 o'clock in the morning, with whiskey on his breath and the smell of another woman on his person... oh, honey! I can smell another woman at 500 paces, that's an easy one to catch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what do you do when he comes home with the smell of another woman on him? Do you say: 'Oh, honey, let me open up my loving arms and my loving legs, dive right in, the water is fine!"? Is that what you say, girls? Or do you say: "Pack your bags! I'm putting on my little waitress caps and my fancy high-heel shoes and I'm going to find me a real man, a good man, a true man, a man to love me for sure!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bette Midler, The Rose - Live in Concert (1979)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SKqyaYSv0RI/AAAAAAAAAS8/jFubK7lquB0/s1600-h/nauceas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SKqyaYSv0RI/AAAAAAAAAS8/jFubK7lquB0/s320/nauceas.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236193683039047954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-780278201211918244?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/780278201211918244/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/08/at-banquet-of-life_1926.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/780278201211918244'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/780278201211918244'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/08/at-banquet-of-life_1926.html' title='at the banquet of life'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SKqyaYSv0RI/AAAAAAAAAS8/jFubK7lquB0/s72-c/nauceas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-3553996578714729958</id><published>2008-08-18T15:54:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-02-26T01:09:38.510+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vid'/><title type='text'>(to the rhythm of the night) I surrender</title><content type='html'>Voy a poner toda la carne en el asador, sin miramientos, ¡si estamos todos en familia, leche!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La canción de la guarrona esta de Lady GaGa me encanta, me encanta,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt; me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;encanta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;¡Racatá!&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Por qué?

Por supuesto, doy por sentado que quien me conoce y sabe que estoy haciendo el esfuerzo de no comer nada de origen animal no me pondrá un filete con patatas. Pero no quiero anteponer &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;mis&lt;/span&gt; normas en la mesa ajena, en la mesa del que no me conoce y está trazando lazos conmigo. Mi respetos hacia quien considere que sus opciones personales están por encima de todo esto, pero mis respetos también hacia quien comparta mi punto de vista. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Respect, yo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;DISCLAIMER 2&lt;/span&gt;: ser vegetariano y no comer carne no es suficiente.

Y añado, cerrando los ojos: todavía me flaquean las piernas, todavía me tiemblan los labios, al recordar con estupor que &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;barón rojo&lt;/span&gt; (!) es la b.s.o. de una de las recetas. Como lo oyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Además de las recetas, mola que de golpe, entre una cosa y la otra, aparezcan perlitas como ésta: "knowledge is a polite word for dead / but not buried imagination" (e. e. cummings).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí va una receta de falafel &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;for dummies&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;FIRESTORM FALAF-HELL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;Music&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;: Tomentor - Seventh Day of Doom demo (1988)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;Ingredientes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;1/2 patata de tamaño mediano, pelada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;1 cucharada sopera de aceite vegetal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;1 cebolla pequeña, cortada en trocitos pequeñitos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;1 lata de garbanzos (420 grs.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;3 cucharadas soperas de zumo de limon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;2 dientes de ajo, cortaditos pequeñitos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;2 cucharadas soperas de Tahini (puré de sésamo)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;1/2 cucharadita de pimentón dulce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;1 cucharada sopera de perejil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;sal y pimienta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Procedamos:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Corta la patata en trozos y pon a hervir durante 10 minutos o hasta que estén blanditas. Escurre. Mientras la patata se está haciendo, pon la cebollica en la sartén hasta que empiece a ponerse translúcida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;En un bol mediano, haz un puré con los garbanzos, la patata y el zumo de limón (bien con el túrmix, bien con un tenedor si estás cachas). Añade la cebolla, el ajo, el tahini, el pimentón, el perejil, un poquito de sal y pimienta. Mezcla hasta que quede una pasta consistente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;Coge una bandeja de las del horno y pon un poquitín de aceite.  Con una chuchara, ve depositando dosis de la mezcla encima de la bandejita, como si fueran galletinas. Pon en horno durante unos 15 min. a 350º. Servir en una pita tostada, con tomate, lechuga y pepino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Idiot-proof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut! :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-3717818685338168505?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/3717818685338168505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-am-bob-dylan-and-yoko-ono-too_3826.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/3717818685338168505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/3717818685338168505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-am-bob-dylan-and-yoko-ono-too_3826.html' title='I am Bob Dylan (and Yoko Ono, too)'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SKgPdK1-i0I/AAAAAAAAARM/JAJboNnxx6c/s72-c/signage008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7827918641831781843.post-5055514618250556311</id><published>2008-08-14T15:31:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-02-26T01:09:38.536+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gagge'/><title type='text'>black flag; or, I want one of them readers</title><content type='html'>I want a woman who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don't already know, and make me laugh, I don't care what you look like, just turn me on, and if you can do that... and if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow.

Rejecting the notion that decisions are properly explicable in relation to reason, Derrida argues that the moment of decision is heterogeneous to knowledge. This means (a) that we can never know when and where there has been a decision, and (b) that the moment of decision ruptures all prior preparations: “It structurally breaches knowledge and is thus destined to non-manifestation; a decision is, in the end, always secret&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ucd.ie/englishanddrama/phd/kelly_abstract.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Adam Kelly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traducción pedánea:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Para Derrida, el momento de decisión supone un reto para la epistemología, causalidad, ética y subjectividad. Al rechazar la noción de que las decisiones se pueden explicar en relación a la razón, Derrida sostiene que el momento de decisión es heterogéneo para el conocimiento. Esto significa (a) que nunca podemos saber cuándo y dónde ha habido una decisión, y (b) que el momento de decisión rompe todas las preparaciones previas: "Estructuralmente, el momento de decisión abre una brecha en el conocimiento y está, por tanto, destinado a la no-manifestación; una decisión es, finalmente, siempre secreta".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los momentos de decisión, los momentos decisivos, son secretos -que no invisibles-, imposibles de identificar, detener o capturar. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Porque ¿cuándo decidiste tú amar y cuándo dejar de hacerlo? &lt;em&gt;Could you&lt;/em&gt; really&lt;em&gt; explain why and where and how you made the decision to love me, or decided not to love me again?&lt;/em&gt; ¿A quién se lo podrías haber confesado? &lt;em&gt;Who could you have told straight away, how would your words have sounded?&lt;/em&gt; ¿Se te iluminó la cara al instante? &lt;em&gt;Did you light up, did your glow fade?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exacto. &lt;em&gt;There you go&lt;/em&gt;. Ceci n'est pas un instant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.seeqpod.net/cache/seeqpodSlimlineEmbed.swf" width="300" height="80" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="domain=http://www.seeqpod.com&amp;amp;playlistXMLPath=http://www.seeqpod.com/api/music/getPlaylist?playlist_id=5bf2cbc874" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7827918641831781843-9056892930506874323?l=lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/feeds/9056892930506874323/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/07/ceci-n-pas-un-instant_9296.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/9056892930506874323'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7827918641831781843/posts/default/9056892930506874323'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lapetitehoudini.blogspot.com/2008/07/ceci-n-pas-un-instant_9296.html' title='Ceci n&amp;#39;est pas un instant'/><author><name>houdini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08703189666790169549</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SEKw_0cclhI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/U4urDlkeVA4/S220/aa_houdini_magic_1_e.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mfBQSeCZ5Hg/SImbQNJphrI/AAAAAAAAANc/80mwskXTu_U/s72-c/meow.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
