A WORD OF LOVING ADVICE FROM ME TO YOU.

Never buy raw fruit salad from a street stall. You might end up with dysentery like yours truly.

(Yes, you're welcome to make Oregon Trail jokes, I guess.)

WTF, man. I wasn't this drowsy since they had me on benzos the past summer DD: (insomnia treatment, just so you know.) Antibiotics really kill you on the inside.

*Goes back to her nap*

Just got home! I went to the book fair with mom this afternoon.

I thought we were just going to look (there's kind of a money shortage for both of us right now and books are horribly expensive in Chile), but we caved in. She gave me two books as a gift, and I bought other three. "If I can't make ends meet again", I said "I can always pawn off something 8Db"

And if that fails... well. Ramen is cheap /o/

The loot:

- Tokyo Blues (Norwegian Wood) | Haruki Murakami
- Killer Whores | Roberto Bolaño (It's way better than the title makes it sound, I promise.)
- Naked Lunch | William S. Burroughs
- The Cleft | Doris Lessing
- The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-Time | Mark Haddon

I almost got a paper version of The Romantic Dogs (Bolaño again) but it was too expensive, and as the Depp Family's Fish proverb teaches, one must not be greedy :'D

It's so nice to have paper books again :3 It had been a while.

I've always been disappointed by Concertación governments, since their so called center-left "liberal" ways are usually a cover-up of more right-wing politics. But this is too much.

Article in Spanish

Michelle Bachelet is giving the army to a general well known by his participation in crimes against Human Rights during the Chilean dictatorship. WTF.

Let's review this. Our president is an (allegedly) socialist woman, was tortured and sent to exile by the dictatorship, had her family split and her father murdered by the army.

And she's appointing a man who participated in the Caravana de la Muerte as the new Commander in Chief of the Chilean Army.

I don't even know anymore.

ANON MEME

Título: Pilmaiquén
Fandom: Latin Hetalia
Personajes: Pueblo Mapuche, España.
Rating: Todo espectador
Notas: Hace dosmil años que no hago un fic con más de un capítulo, pero ilye_aru lo amerita :3 ¡Feliz cumpleaños a ella, y muchas gracias por el prompt! Intentaré tener el siguiente capítulo lo antes posible.

( La primera vez que supo de él fue por noticias que venían de lejos, muy lejos, de allá por la pampa eterna a la que su gente sólo llegaba de vez en vez buscando caza y tierras. )

It's time for That One Halloween Meme again :'D

1) Create a graphic (200 x 200 max size) to represent your personal "candy". It should have your username on it, but otherwise can feature whatever you want. Make it something special since it's self-representative.

2) Make a post with the subject "trick or treat?". Put your "candy" somewhere in it, and be sure to repost these instructions.

3) Then, go around other people's LJs and reply to them with either "trick" or "treat". If you reply with "trick", they will give you an LJ dare that you have to perform before taking their candy. If you're too wimpy for that, simply say "treat" and take their candy.

4) List all your collected candies in your original "trick or treat?" post to show off your collection, being sure not to direct-link!



Last year's was more elaborate, but the pic was 300x300 back then.

( Collected candy! :D )

Celebrating the fact that, finally, I have a microphone for my laptop.

I'm average at best as a singer, but I still love to sing, so... :'D

Leave me a comment with a song, and I'll sing it for you.

OMG GUYS.

LA PRÓXIMA TELESERIE DEL CANAL ESTATAL DE CHILE...

VA A SER SOBRE VAMPIROS SPARKLOSOS.

BRB RIÉNDOME PARA SIEMPRE.

NO VEO TELESERIES, PERO... DIOS. ES QUE VA A SER COMO UN CHOQUE DE AUTOS, ESTOY SEGURA. EN OTRAS PALABRAS:

These memes are always so strangely accurate.

( It was that 'Which chess piece are you?' one )

Last Friday I started going to a great Creative Writing Workshop. It's on Wednesdays and Fridays, and it's fucking awesome. I learnt a lot last class. Today, though... uhm. My social/performance anxiety kicked in in overdrive, and despite the fact I showered, dressed nicely, and even put make-up on (something I NEVER do, and probably because I was subconsciously trying to delay my exit), I wasn't able to leave the house :( So no Literary Workshop for me today. I PROMISE I WILL GO THIS FRIDAY. I SWEAR.

(Pero como me juré que hoy NO iba a ser un día completamente malgastado... ¡Empecé otro original! Oh, wow, esto es nuevo. V-valga la redundancia, quiero decir, pero joder que hace mucho que no escribía. Como lo eché de menos :'D)

I've finally decided to translate my MGS fics. Anyone willing to betaread? I swear they're, like, really really short and non-bothersome!

(How I wish my MGS muse came back :( I MISS IT. Maybe I should try working up the guts to join the fandom in the creative memes and online-meetings they hold. O-one of these days. Uhm. [/SHY])

... Why so many of my problems come from being socially awkward as hell. HOW DOES ONE FIX THAT.

ITT: PLEASE, PLEASE RECOMMEND ME POSTMODERN LITERATURE! I feel I'm going to need it if I want to carry on my current projects.

#ebooks at mIRC is pretty handy, so availability on paper is not an issue.

"Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is an extremely rare inherited disorder of the nervous system which prevents the sensation of pain, heat, and cold. A person with CIPA cannot feel pain or differentiate even extreme temperatures. "Anhidrosis" means the body does not sweat, and "congenital" means that the condition is present from birth."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_insensitivity_to_pain_with_anhidrosis

... Zero? Are those you?

I honestly thought Kouga Yun had invented that one.

*Goes back to her nap*

Perdonen si esto es noticia MÁS QUE ATRASADA, pero es que me acabo de enterar. Por supuesto, como soy masoca, fuí volando a checar el sitio de Ticketmaster para ver los valores.

La entrada de 24 lucas es la más "barata", pero ni para esa tengo.

Es decir, no a menos que me mate de hambre el resto del mes.

FML.

*Llora forever*

Descubrir que Lazy Town tiene un fandom.

No creí que existiera, pero then again, he estado suficientes años en el Internet como para haber sabido mejor.

Si alguien puede reccearme siquiera UN FIC de Lazy Town que no suckee, daré mi vida por completa.

Also, trajes apretados de tela sintética? A Stephanie, Sportacus y Robbie se les ve todo. *SE VA AL INFIERNO FOREVER WTF*

Culpo a mi hermana chica de todo. Y-yo me lavo las manos de esto.

(Screw you, insomnia. I was sleeping until an hour ago.)

OKAY, I WON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE LOVE BOX, or Big Boss's Bulge (BBB?) as better people than me already have pointed it out in varied, hilarious ways.

BUT I FUCKING DEMAND TO KNOW WHO THIS GUY IN THE CHARACTER'S PAGE IS.



I hate to be a tinhatter, but DOES HE REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE. Three guesses of who was the first character who popped into my mind after this. The first two don't count.

OTADADDY IS THAT YOU.

YOU LOOK HOT, OTADADDY. HOT AND NERDY, JUST LIKE I LIKE 'EM. AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU FINALLY HAVE A NAME, TOO.

[EDIT] SCREW BEING A TINHATTER, I'M WATCHING THE TRAILER. THERE'S NO WAY THAT MAN IS NOT RELATED TO OTACON. NO FUCKING WAY. Even the japanese voice sounds the same! Though, from the trailer, it seems like he -ah- kinda. Uhm. Was dropped down a staircase? NOOOOO, OTADADDY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH A SWIMMING POOL![/EDIT]

Looks like the game will also have three four major female characters, which is actually really nice. (Though from the looks of it one of them is a pacifist girl related to The Boss? Bwuh?) And I'm loving Strangelove's androgynous design with its Kubrick reference 8Db

... Why Outer Heaven looks like the Big Shell, WTF. WHAT.

... I. I. *flails* I suspect there's time travel involved here. Not even REX could fly like this Metal Gear. It would explain the Otacon-lookalike too, b-but... SOB.

FUCK YOU, KOJIMA, I SWORE I WOULDN'T LIVE STALKING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS GAME. *shakes a fist to the heavens.*

PS1: ... There's something troubling me, though. There's someone who wasn't there at the Characters page. WHERE IS OCELOT? D: There can't be a Big Boss-centric game with no Ocelot.

PS2: ... Where are we going to have updates on Metal Gear Raiden Rising? 8(

Copypasta de ESTA ENTRADA, porque varios no tienen friendeado cruce_ooc en sus journals principales.

OKAY, GENTE. HAY QUE REANIMAR ESTA COSA.

Sugerencias de eventos son amplia, ampliamente bienvenidas. Pimpear el RPG por todos lados sería igual de awesome.

So. ¿Ideas?

Guess I won't be roleplaying tonigt ;_;

And I don't have money to buy another charger. Joy.

Porque hoy gracias a cierto secreto en Fandom!Secrets me acordé de su existencia y me pegué un TREMENDO VIAJE POR MEMORY-LANE.

David el Gnomo es parte de mi infancia remota, una de mis series favoritas cuando era chiquita. No tienen idea de todas las cosas que aprendí con este dibujo animado, ni el amor que no sabía que tenía todavía por esta serie.

La wiki tiene una mejor reseña de lo que yo podría hacer en este minuto porque todavía estoy flaileando. Y por algún motivo, no me permite embeddear el opening directamente, pero aquí hay un link.

( Links de descarga de la serie (doblada al español) completa tras el cut. )

*AMA A TODA SU GENTE*

Vi todos sus saludos de cumpleaños! *se les tira encima* Ha sido un par de días tremendamente movidos, así que aún no acabo de contestarlos todos. Pero los ví ♥

Estoy más cansada que la cresta :'D Así que ahorita ya me marcho a dormir. Las quiero, buenas noches!

Se le echa de menos, mija linda! Espero que todo esté saliéndole awesome con los exámenes y etcéteras. Acá la estamos esperando para cuando regese.

Ya es algo tarde para desearle que haya tenido un bonito día, pero qué diablos: usted se merece un bonito año. Década. Lustro. *Glompea^9000* Ojalá la haya pasado bien! <3

Entre los -al menos- cinco sueños que recuerdo de mi maratón de 28 horas durmiendo (yes, I know, WTF) hay uno que ahora recuerdo y me hace reír.

Estaba con mi familia en uno de esos settings exóticos que uno tiene en los sueños a veces. IDK, tenía cara de selva centroamericana, y andábamos de paseo, viste. IDK. El caso es, no recuerdo a pito de qué fué que empecé a darles una disertación sobre la naturaleza de las teleseries en Latinoamérica. (Que yo NO veo.)

Era todo un análisis sociológico, ven. "Por ejemplo, en las teleseries mexicanas y venezolanas", exponía yo, "lejos el grupo socioeconómico más representado es el de clase alta-alta. Son fantasías escapistas. Las únicas excepciones son cuando la protagonista es esta chica pobre-pero-buena, que se ve recompensada al final casándose con el protagonista millonario. Es el mito de la Cenicienta perpetuado."

"Lo que lleva a que uno se pregunte, entonces, qué significa que las teleseries chilenas suelan manifestar una gama amplia de grupos socioeconómicos, mujeres poderosas con más profesión que la de arpías, y el intento -no siempre logrado- de tener una trama más allá del melodrama. ¿Son más progresistas las teleseries chilenas? ¿Son signo de los tiempos? No. Simplemente, se trata que las teleseries chilenas apuntan a un grupo de espectadores más amplio - transmitidas en horario prime, justo antes del noticiero de las 21:00- a diferencia de los refritos mexicanos y venezolanos tipo Televisa, que se transmiten a las 3 de la tarde, y apuntan mayormente a mujeres que hacen labores domésticas, ya sea remuneradas o como dueñas de casa, y miran tele después de almorzar."

Luego llegaba el teleférico, lo abordábamos, y yo me dejaba de dar cátedra.

Yeah. Yo tampoco sé qué onda.
