friday's coffee breaks.

when you plan (it's a need i'd say) on watcing a romantic comedy, i bet you can predict what's coming. you recognize both the boy and the girl, you laugh at times 'cause it's funney, get frustraited about 20 miutes before the movie ends, because for some reason he didn't tell her something, or because she kissed a guy on the cheecks and he watched her from across the street ..or god knows what! and at the end, you just indulge in an euphoric sensation following a grand, happy ending.

.. No? well i think i was close.

watching "los lunes al sol" i couldn't really find a pattern. the whole movie follows the lives of four unemplyed, or rather four laid off workers. their disappointments in life, ther daily meetings in their friend's small bar,

at times i thought it was increadibly boaring, slow paced. but i was startled by the amount of reality, the characters were ferociously genuine, people can always find something to relate to in this film.

i've never heard of this movie, (have you?) let alone its title "mondays in the sun" their endless weekend. working, there's always the hope of something better. but when that is lost, these men lost their only way of delying everything. fears of abandon, death, lost dreams all came up.

i have to admit that, one of the reasons i watched this film was the always delightful javer bardem. if you needed another reason, then it's good cinema.

:امرأة

أن تكون "سابينا" امرأة فهذا وضع لم تختره بنفسها. و ما هو ليس ناتجاً عن اختيار لا يمكن اعتباره لا استحقاقاً و لا فشلاً. و سابينا تفكر أنه يفترض بنا, حيال وضع فرض علينا, أن نتصرف بطريقة مناسبة. كما و يبدو لها أيضاً أن احتجاجها على كونها امرأة أو الاعتزاز بذلك امران سخيفان بالقدر ذاته

قال فرانز في أحد لقاءاتهما الأولى و بنبرة مميزة: "سابينا, أنتِ امرأة." لم تفهم لماذا بشّرها بذلك على هذا النحو الاحتفالي و كأن كريستوف كولومبوس يبشر لتوّه باكتشاف أحد سواحل أمريكا. و لكنها فهمت فيما بعد أن كلمة "امرأة" التي تلفظها بفصاحة مميّزة لم تكن تعبّر بالنسبة " له عن صفة تميز أحد جنسي الصنف البشري, و إنما كانت تمثل "قيمة." إذ ليست كل النساء جديرات بأن يدعين "نساء

you can always ruin my day.

when is (ever) the right time to listen to Frank Sinatra? despite the fact that i am a morning person, i still can't get rid of these late (all day) yawnings.




i finally decided to get a pet, and i think she's dying.
am never sure when it's enough water. sometimes i'd flood her, sometimes a week would go by without a drop of water.



so your lead to the local color
