Lovin' the cap

Following the evolution of Jake's caps, and his body language.

Gratifying Peter

I've been thinking about Peter lately, after his descend of my "Ignition List", and I would want to make it up... a little, admiring the splendor of his powers in affective areas, with Maggie, baby Ramona (beyond tender), Jake, a flower... he deserves no less a top ranking in my (our) heart. The word that came in my head before about Peter was "sexy", now (after his paternity) is "gratifying". Choose the word you prefer.

Spanish Valentine Poem

OISEAUX BLESSÉS

"Gamo de pelo erizado,
¿son verdaderas encuestas
las que tus acompañantes leen
tras la valla nupcial?
La niebla sigue creciendo,
aflora el mar. Intercambian
negativos a revelar,
hay una orden almacenada
imposible de ejecutar.
Hay un Nuevo Desorden Colonial,
próximo y remoto.
Los negativos, revélalos al fin
y escribe sobre las fotos, al dorso,
tonterías de San Valentín.
Estas secuencias revelan el proceso,
indican un cambio,
¿es verdad que hay un programa?
Entonces, desentiérralo junto
a tus pájaros heridos.
Magullados, y sin número,
aún podrán volar". © poem by Elena Gonzalvo.

Valentine song

BAD VALENTINE

"It feels like Spring again
You sprung this on me and then
It feels like Spring again
But I guess it never really ends
It just comes around again
And I collect
all the cards that you sent.
But I could not say
If I should stay I might not even
Even remember your name
Oh what a shame Oh I'm a bad valentine,
a bad valentine I'm a bad valentine
Oh I'm so bad, bad, bad, all the time
Oh I'm a bad valentine
Ooh I love you baby Aah I love you maybe
Ooh I love you baby Or maybe,
maybe I'm just insane.
I'm a bad valentine, a bad valentine
Oh I'm so bad, bad, bad, all the time
Oh I'm a bad valentine" -sung by TRANSVISION VAMP.

Wendy James was one of the 80's girl-crushes I had.

A pinch of Rudeness

HELEN MIRREN SHOCKS BAFTA VIEWERS WITH F-WORD

"The journalist warned her it was "a channel where people don't swear". She replied, "Where people don't swear? F**king nutbag!"
Source: Mirror.co.uk, 2-12-07.

"There was plenty of rudeness to go around on both sides, not just from the famous but from the fans as well. From one who stood for hours on the red carpet to hopefully get a photo with Kate Winslet, I can attest to it. Most notably, with Jake Gyllenhaal, who was gracious with his time and generous to a fault. As he stopped to sign for someone next to me a man rudely yelled practically in his face 'are you gay' over and over and Jake gave the most brilliant look at me and the girl whose paper he was signing. We all three were embarrassed for him (the man, not Jake). Jake loudly said 'no' back to shut the bloke up. This apparently did not satisfy and the man said 'bisexual', Jake laughed no, looking straight at me, as if he couldn't believe it. I think my jaw was hanging at the man's audacity. I must have looked so funny. The man finally shouted 'dating Austin' (redundantly, for hello, it's a man's name) and Jake laughed and said 'no' again before moving on. Anyway it was the most comical and surreal moment for my brush with celebrity and made me grateful I'm just a nurse. I wouldn't have had the patience with such rudeness."

Strange Thoughts

Ok, dear weird kindred, marriage and insomnia can be a strange combination, specially if your husband is so understanding somehow it makes feel you more guilty. The case is that there is a guy out there who supposedly was in love with me (sounds 100% corny at this point, I know, but not it's less true even so), and I want to dedicate to him this post. I won't say his name, because maybe that only would magnify my vanity, but we shared a story. His favourite song was "California Sun" by The Ramones, and his favourite movie is/was "Memento", we would watch things as "The Blank Generation" and would get drunk, we would listen to Herman Brood songs and even cried when he committed suicide, and read fanzines, so I have too much class (or I'm much of a coward) to post this in the San Valentine day.
You said me you danced without a sense of rhythm, but you know what? you're a liar.

"All my friends say I'm a fool/I can't still stand that new boy hangin' around/ Every night, honey, you're, you're not on the dancefloor/I know he is back in town/ And Marguerita, I want you so much/Can't handle myself/Tryin' to find me another love/But I just turn out to be foolin' myself, 'cause honey/I want you/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else./Hey, didn't see you hangin' around in the après-ski/And I didn't see you downtown/I know your rock'n'roll fancy playboy kind of boyfriend/ And I hate to see him back in town/Hey, Marguerita, I want you so much/Can't handle myself/Oh, I tried so hard to find me another love/But I just fooled myself, 'cause/I want you/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/'Cause when you're near/I can hear you moan/As long as you're hangin' round/I don't feel down/Hey!/ I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/Hey!/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else/I love you like I love myself/And I don't need no, I don't need nobody, child/(Hey, mama) I love you like I love myself/And I don't need nobody else."
