Everything has been going fine lately. Although nothing really exciting has occured, life here is good. The only thing is that I'm a little bored. As I'm still going through the trance of finding a good job -internet, newspapers, phone calling, etc, I'm living 24/7 in the apartment. And job hunting is a task for half a day max, so the rest of my days are free for me to do whatever I please. Well, I've been going through my LP collection, some reading and DVD watching, along with several hours in front of my iBook and inet. I began some personal projects (iMovies, GarageBand songs, websites and some flash) along with a cover for my friend's CD. In order to get these going smoothly I bought a DVD burner and 1 Gb memory dimm for my laptop (if Chicken finds out about this I'm doomed!). Also I will take a course in 'Experience Design for Web' at the Emily Carr Institute next July. And my main duty right now is helping Chicken with her new job. It's quite ...

Yesterday was Chicken's birthday. 34 springs on her record, although she hates that fact. She had to work as usual and told nobody there about it. In any case, it wouldn't have made any difference 'coz in these lands people are really soooo different from latins (and, funny, but I feel proud of being a member of this hot minority here). In my last birthday, I remember telling my co-workers about it and the only response to that was 'Ah! Oh! Well, great! Mhhh... so, what are you gonna do tonight?', and things like that. I guess only a couple of 'Happy Birthday's, but not a hug, not a single hand shake, nothing, nada! In Mexico everybody hugs you and congratulate you, and even at your job you may receive some lolly pop or something, ja! Ok, so Chicken decided to skip that embarrassing hope and just avoided mentioning it. So, we went to dinner to the 'Hell's Kitchen', a nice place in Kitsilano and had a pizza and couple (terrible) mojitos. These guy...

Sunshine's in, at last. I never thought I'd miss it so bad until I've seen it again lighting this beautiful place. One can easily get used to see the city under the darkness of rainy clouds and feel quite comfortable living in a perpetual shadowness. But waking up again with the rays of light caressing your unshaved face and forcing your sore eyes to open is something really great. That's when I can understand these so-called vancouverites when they remind you every time they can to 'enjoy the sun'. Being from a land where sun can be something overwhealming and sometimes even upsetting, the sun hasn't played any major role in my life, until now. Everywhere you go, everywhere you turn around all of a sudden becomes a beautiful place, a great landscape, an incredible city. Watching this place with daylight is something really different and makes you proud and happy to be here, in one of the best cities to live in. Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I s...

Finally, I saw today a glimpse of true happiness in the eyes of Chicken. Happiness mixed with lots of nerviousness and excitement and most of all, emotion. A rather sweet emotion. Seems like heaven above has decided to give her the chance of a lifetime. And, as I told her , this is her chance of a lifetime. I feel very excited too about it. A little nervious also, I must say, but honestly happy. For her, for us and for me. If she finally gets what she's asked for, she'll ride in the same rocket as me, at last. And if she is my co-pilot, finally we will get to those starts I've been dreaming of for so many years. If all these happens, I will finally be in total harmony with my life -that is, when I get my own job, of course. It's not that I wasn't already, but if one piece of the puzzle is missing, that hole is the first thing that jumps and ruins all the image. When all the pieces are in place, the picture is finally complete. Funny how the happiness of someone you...

There are times when I feel like if I was drifting through the universe, with no particular destiny, just floating randomly, watching the sounds and listening to the lights... Not too much thinking on those moments, just playing the role of a cosmic witness, eventhough the cosmos I'm living in is no other than just a new land, that every day is becoming more and more a common place to me... I guess this kind of trance is usual to everyone under the same circumstances as me, that's why I avoid getting to passionate about it... It's just fun and different to what I was used to live... One of the main reasons of changing my personal panorama was to live this, live something new, something totally different and really challenging, taste new colors, breath new flavors, sweat new experiences that wouldn't have appeared if I wouldn't have looked for them... Mines are not fancy dreams nor material fantasies, they are more spiritual chases and childhood goals... And if in th...

I can say that haven't met anoyone from my generation and it's surrounding areas that doesn't get excited with this one... I personally think it's the best cartoon soundtrack of all times, and not only the opening sequence tune but also all the music from the first 2 seasons along with The Inspector's and Aaardvark and Ant's are truly a masterpiece, most of it coming from William Lava and Walter Greene... Unfortunately, the only way to get it is through the Pink Panther's Classic Cartoon Collection DVD box... Think of all the animals you've ever heard about like rhinoc'ruses and tigers cats and mink There are lots of funny animals in all this world But have you ever seen a panther that is pink? Think! A panther that is positively pink, Well here he is, the pink panther, The rinky-dink panther, Isn't he a panther ever so pink? He really is a groovy cat, and what a gentleman, a scholar, what an acrobat ! He's in the pink - the pink panther The...

Yesterday I spent a coupe hours with a new friend I met at my previous job. We got in contact thanks to Zappa and his music, and we started to get along pretty well at the office until the announcement that I was leaving. It was a really nice night, one of those that I've been missing since my relocation to this land. All in between music, beers and most of all good vibrations I finally realized why I didn't fit at Tugboat. Thankfully, I was considered by him too avant-gardish for the approach the agency has right now. That commentary, along with others, took away from me tons of tormenting thoughts I was carrying about my relation with the studio. I'm much more focused and calmed down about it and I think these will help me through my ongoing jog hunting. Back to basics. There's no need to worry. The strange ones are strange wherever they go. Dancing madly backwards Dancing on a sea Racing on my memories I'm glad I set my dreams Tip toe, tip toe quickly ...
