Saint-Exupéry's murderer,
A German pilot recognized yesterday to be the author of the murder of Saint-Exupéry, in the year 1944. He didn't want to kill the writer, he said he loved his books. I just wonder what went wrong: One of them wrote the little Prince, the other one read it and loved it while being a kid. How come both of them were fighting on a war?

Crazy Jap Singer!
London makes you feel that this is the place in which everything happens. I know this very well. I've bought a Coldplay album before anybody else in Argentina, only because I went to tower records to go picking something that it was going to be trendy. A couple of weeks ago I decided to go finding the new best band in the world. But I've only found this crazy jap singer who only knows how to scream like a modern version of Yoko.
Overheard in a bbq,
My friend's son (5 years old) says to his mother: Mom, Id like you to put on the bathroom that toilet paper with the dog. His mother goes: Sorry baby, that's too expensive. My friend: Mom wants us to use cardboard.
Couple of things to mention here:
1-This stupid marketing strategy is working on several levels. The kid thinks it's better to clean his shit with a dog.
2-The guy thinks that because of the dog drawing, it's a softer and therefore more expensive paper.
3-The mother, even if she has refused to buy it before, she has been ashamed in public. And she is feeling guilty now, ready to spend a lot of money in things that this family doesn't need.
it's a sad story. everything has been planned.

Amy Winehouse and Kate Moss together for a good cause,
They just want to save an old pub called George Tavern. I love the fact that they are not doing it because of a fucking penguin. They are signing t-shirts for their preferred pub! not for the health of the woods, for a pint in an ugly old tavern.
They are both so truthful to themselves. Can we say the same thing about politicians involved in green programs?
I am with them, at the end of the day you can't drink a whale with your friends. Just leave the whale and save the pub.

Today I met Francis Ford Coppola,
I was leaving the restaurant and he was getting in. We looked at each other on the stairs. I did like a small movement with my head, like saying: Hey, how you doing? I know you. And he did the same thing. But his movement, even tough it was the same, it might meant something different, like: "another stupid fan that thinks he knows me".
I just didn't know what to do.
Changing subjects: Is it true that the NY city gov pays Kevin Bacon to go walking the streets, talking to tourist?

Nicole Kidman and George Clooney,
Yesterday, I saw the movie called "Michael Clayton" which was really good by the way. But I am still impressed with the titles at the end. George Clooney gets into a taxi and ask the driver to just drive, and we see Clooney thinking and watching through the window. And this shot lasts like 3 minutes without cutting. George Clooney does a great job trying to make you feel things without actually doing anything.
But this had happened before with the resurrection movie starring Nicole Kidman. She goes to the theater after receiving the news that her husband has resurrected in a kid, and you can see a shot that probably lasts longer and it's actually much better. The scene is much better because there is a much complicated plot to be tell, it's the moment in which she realizes what's going on and she cries. And Nicole performs better because she has a clear action rather than "travel in a taxi cab thinking about what just happened".
So Nicole Kidman and George Clooney are both great actors.
But taking these two actors and producing a movie is still not enough.
In 1997, they shot together "the peacemaker". Crappy movie.

There is a sign...
Painted on a bridge that says: What do you prefer? being happy or being right?
It is some sort of artistic thing, since there is not a brand behind. Not even the name of the artist. I used to think that this was a truthful affirmation. But at this stage of my life, I am able to be happy and be right at the same time.
But I must admit that being always right annoys me. I get so tired of saying "I told you so". It's a very nasty thing to say, but I don't find anything else to replace that phrase.

As for the pronunciation of the streets,
For those of you that dears to visit the neighborhood of Islington in East London. Be aware that when you ask how to get there, it's not ISLINGTON (ailington) but ISLINGTON (Islington) as if it was in spanish.
Everyday you can learn a new thing in London.

Damn trendy hotels,
I am seated at the table of MyHotel in London. I can't believe this place. The room doesn't have a mini-bar. Its the size of a teenager room with a single bed. 12" tv.
And the room is like 230 pounds a night!
What's going on you people? Don't treat me like home, I am in a fucking expensive hotel! It's like those restaurants that say: "Eat like at home". Oh please! don't feed me like at home! (this comment does not pretend to hurt the feelings of my wife who is such excellent chef).
This only makes me miss my family more.

Fears and money,
Today I am traveling business. As many other people, I am a little bit of afraid of flying. But for some reason, when I travel business I am less afraid. It seems like the economy seats were more scary than the expensive ones.
After thinking it for a while and only based on the facts, I came to the conclusion that what I am really afraid of is to die poor.

There's no place like London!
There’s a whole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren’t worth what a pin can spit
and it goes by the name of London.
At the top of the hole sit the previlaged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo
turning beauty to filth and greed…
I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders,
for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Peru
but there’s no place like London!
London, wait for me! I'm coming tomorrow.

Lenny Kravitz hospitalized in Miami,
Doctor said it was bronchitis, but it's not. He said that he hasn't had sexual relationships in the last two years. So you don't have to be a genius to know what's happening here: He is over-masturbated. You can see it on the pictures, you can hear it on his voice. It's too much Lenny, you have to stop it.
Ugly picture but interesting thought
Kurt Westergaard is the guy in the picture. He tried to be witty and draw a cartoon of Mahoma. Today the danish authorities arrested 4 guys who were attempting to murder him. I wonder what he is publishing at the moment. I wonder if he still have any sense of humor left. And most of all, I wonder if he regrets.
Luckily for you Kurt I have a solution! Why don't you draw a couple of Jewish cartoons? Draw Moises or Jacobo, or Jerry Seinfield. We jews we are not going to be upset and you could win some friends between your enemies.

What happened to Silvester Stallone?
Is it the drugs? He doesn't need no make up fot the next Rocky!
The facebook trap,
I am not a big fan of facebook. But for a while I thought it was the bomb.
Now I just read that you can't quit. I mean, you want to leave and they don't delete your account, because their business is related to having more people connected.
Now even when I like to use it, I hate it as well.
It's crazy that these people who successfully interpreted peoples feelings to connect, all of the sudden they don't know anything about us.

Today I got emotional with Rocky 2,
Even when I hate Boxing, I am crazy about Rocky. And not only the first movies but the latest one as well. If they film Rocky 7,8,9 I would go without thinking.
A couple of hours after Rocky I started to think, how come there is not a great emotional movie about Football? Not just one. Heroes is fine but it is a documentary and Shaolin Soccer is humor. Hollywood should make a movie about the plane crash of the Manchester United team.

Feel like a poor southamerican,
Lately, I've been told that one of the most successful tours in Buenos Aires is the visit to "La villa". A "villa" is a place where people lives under very sad conditions, specially in terms of infrastructure. Crime is high over there, the police can't get in. It is the argentinian version of the brazilian favela. But in terms of culture, it's becoming very rich. They have their own system, their own music, they do art.
But still, when someone from the first world visits, it's like they are enjoying
the poor quality living of these people. It's like: "Come feel like a poor, do what the poor does, see how the poor lives, and the best thing of all: If you feel sad, if you feel it's enough, if you feel you want to enjoy a huge dish of argentinian meat, we will take you to your 300 us a night hotel and you can forget the whole thing, till you get to your contry and you get to tell your friends how sensitive you are by experiencing these way of living!"

Creepiest thing I've seen in a long time,
_____________________This little puppy is the creation of a Chinese manufacturer. And it's all over the world now. When you see this puppy there is not a single difference between the toy and the real animal. I can live with that, it's just a copy of the original.
What I can't stand is the fact that they made them breath. They are breathing fake dogs. They look incredibly alive but they are not.
It's so weird. You feel sad for them even when they are not real. You need to touch them only to realize that is dead. It's so pervert.
I think it is actually more pervert than a breathing sex doll.

Bionic hand,
A friend of mine who lost his hand several years ago in an accident told me that in Spain they are launching a new hand with new technology. This technology allows him to move and control each finger of his hand, a prosthethic of course. This is all great.
The problems seems to be for him that there is a warning message by the manufacturer:
"DO NOT MANIPULATE SEXUAL ORGANISMS WITH YOUR PROSTHETHIC HAND".
This warning has completely discourage him of buying this product. He says he will wait for the version 2.0.
