Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack
I'm listening to The Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl movie soundtrack at the moment and OMG I LOVE IT!!1 I get this Epica-vibe fromit and it give me the chills. It's like I'm listening to An epic journey by Epica (although that one sounds way better of course). Well Hans Zimmer is one of Mark Jansen (of Epica) favorite composer, although the songs on this album were composed by Klaus Badelt, but the other 2 soundtracks by Hans Zimmer... anyway, it's just an amazing album, and I think I'm gonna add this to my "favorite soundtracks" list. I also have the soundtracks of the other 2 movies, but I think I'll be listen to these tomorrow.

Monkey Business
Over the weekend, our little Jaelyn has fallen in love with a furry friend. It's a little chimpanzee doll I actually bought for myself in my single days from a local Rainforest Cafe's gift shop. I had since passed it on to Leila, as I did all my old toys and dolls. Jaelyn must have discovered it while Leila was sifting through a pile of stuffed animals and dolls in their bedroom looking for "babies" for them to play with. Ever since, Jaelyn has been cuddling this doll on and off, but not all day long. Jaelyn clutching her new baby She just loves the little monkey, it's too cute! This evening after I had the girls brush their teeth for bed, I discovered that Jaelyn is cutting tooth #7. So I let her chew on her old baby toothbrush that has rubber bristles (made to be gentle on the gums, but we've moved on to a regular toothbrush now that she has teeth). Later on I found her putting it in the monkey's mouth as if to brush his teeth. Actually, now I remember, I gave... (more)

哥哥，对不起, for everything. it's clear that i'm not able to persuade you by my side. therefore i really wish to give up now and just become the mei mei you want me to be. the simplest things you do or may not do hurts me the most. like just now, you did not tell me wan an and did not call me mei mei. it really hurts because i feel like i did something wrong. i'm sorry for whatever i did. i'm sorry for falling in love with you. but at this point, i don't know what to do. 我真的不知道。 when you keep such silly secrets against me, it hurts because i want to know so much. i searched all over my chinese dictionary to find out. 晕死人了 = yun si ren le . but i do not understand the concept of the sentence. are you saying i'm hurting you? 对不起。 i've realized my mistake a while back but i don't know what to do from here. i think about you every night and every...

The little positive seemed to be mocking me. Shit shit shit. I ran from the bathroom to the kitchen and gulped down a large glass of water then back to the bathroom again. With shaking hands I somehow managed to pull out another box from the plastic bag. The next 7 minutes felt like an eternity. Then slowly, 2 pink lines appeared. My brain tried to tell me that it was a false positive. Hey 2 false positives could be a possibility. I'm a stats student. I should know. But in my gut, I knew. My knees gave way and I sank to the floor. My heart was pounding in my ears, and I felt a wave of nausea - for the second time today. Fuck. My stomach heaved and I felt my lunch regurgitate itself. I felt tears streaming down my face. But that was impossible. I never cry. I haven't cried since the night I woke up to the sound of glasses being thrown against the wall admist all the angry shouting. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. I couldn't believe how stupid I'd been. I didn't... (more)

Furia Feroz, de J.G.
Ballard
“Numa sociedade totalmente controlada e prudente, a loucura é a única liberdade” (J.G. Ballard) Furia Feroz em espanhol ou "Running Wild" no original. Não posso dizer qual o nome dado na edição em português pois julgo que, infelizmente, não existe! Cada vez mais as edições originais em inglês ou as edições em espanhol salvam-me de ficar sem ler imensas obras que não se editam por cá. A banda desenhada e outro infeliz exemplo aqui já falado. Mas voltando a Fúria Feroz só posso dizer que é, uma vez mais, J.G.Ballard na sua "loucura" habitual. Não é a história em si que aqui me seduz mas sim a mensagem encapotada que Ballard nos revela, com a violência, a educação e a sobreprotecção da infância. Escrito em 1988, foi infelizmente precursor de uma realidade dura e cruel que tantos telejornais têm aberto nos últimos tempos. Para ler... e para as nossas maravilhosas editoras decidirem de uma vez que há autores que se deve editar tudo. En una urbanización de superlujo en... (more)
