* Copiado de laurus_nobilis: El especial de Children in Need de (BBC) Merlin. Gana en la vida por siempre y para siempre.

* Il Silenzio, un solo de trompeta por una chica de 13 años. La definición de awesome.

* Pigeon: Impossible. Un corto de animación sobre un agente junior de la CIA que se enfrenta contra una paloma para detener un desatstre nuclear. Es tonto y adorable :D


Y ahora me voy a poner a leer porque no he pasado del capítulo 2 de The Wind in the Willows y me siento mal por eso. 8'D Además de que hay que hacer espacio porque ya salió Muerte de Tinta: The Affordable Edition, que con suerte compro mañana. \o\
(Nota: Cuidado si pasan todas las páginas del coso mirador virtual, la segunda frase que está en la contraportada tiene un spoiler muy grande del final del segundo libro. Just sayin')

Then Lacke walked out into the corridor and managed to half-convince, half-plead his way to an extra cot. Lacke positioned it so it was exactly next to Virginia's. Turned out the light, took off his clothes, and crawled down into the stiff sheets, fumbled for and found her hand.
They lay like that for a long time. Then came the words. "Lacke. I love you."
And Lacke did not reply. Simply let the words hang in the air. Become encapsulated and grow until they were a large red blanket that floated around the room, that lowered itself onto him and kept him warm all night.

dfaksdjfaksjdf tan trágico WHY ;_;
Es el segundo pairing que me doomean exactamente por lo mismo en dos libros diferentes. ;; Me pregunto si eso será revelador al respecto de mis hábitos de lectura. 8Db (No voy a decir cuál otro es por eso de los spoilers.) Icon for a reason.
Aún me faltan como 100 páginas para terminar este, así que después más opiniones además de que esta novela es lo que Twilight sueña con ser cuando crezca. \o\

* WHY SO CUTE WHY. G-gato ;_;

* Trailer de 9, la nueva película producida por Tim Burton. Se ve épica. XD Dice que está subtitulado, pero no le veo los subtítulos por ningún lado. o.O;

* Esta es la estación de música que escucho con más frecuencia. Posteo el link para 1) compartirlo y 2) no extraviar la url. /o/;;

1) Música en maya. ¿Quién dijo yo?
2) A TV ad that made me care. O_o Go figure. ( *wibbles* )
3) Can't watch Avatar. Damned thing freezes halfway through (or earlier) and it refuses to keep loading. ;_;

1. Los matrimonios arreglados para los muertos son una tradición antigua en varias zonas del país asiático. Cayó un integrante de la banda que asesinaba para cumplir la demanda.
2. LOLKitteh!
3. HTML fun
4. Seven Deadly Sins Combo Chart
5. You just can't trust pirates... - FTW
6. Fox News throught History - I've heard they call'em Faux News too. :3
7. "'El Código da Vinci' no crea lectores. Una persona que no lea habitualmente y que lo haya terminado no va a leer el 'Quijote' o alguna obra de William Shakespeare, por ello. Como mucho va a leer una obra similar. Sin embargo, un cómic bien hecho acerca más a la gente a la verdadera literatura..."

What harm can instrumental music do? Let me tell you: A lot. Still, it goes rather well with the scenery XD

Title: Quality Time
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Rating: PG
Summary: Iroh wins a contest and shares his price with his nephew. Sadly, Zuko is not that happy about the outcome.
Spoilers: For some of the second season, though this is conceived to happen before its ending.

Because I thought Nina could be interested: Bradbury, a man living in the creative and industrial center of reality TV and one-hour dramas, says [Fahrenheit 451] is, in fact, a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature.

That statement does provide a whole new reading to the text, and it makes a lot of sense, given that the television in the book's universe is described as walls, and the protagonist's wife (I'm sorry, I can't remember the names; it's been a while since I read it) is told to be um, detached from reality and so absorbed by what she calls her "family" (the characters on the screen) that she completely fails to see her husband's struggles. I gather that she was supposed to represent the majority of the society.

And, though I can draw parallels between that attitude and the people I see glued at the tv every morning and taking seriously the debates between Trejo, Maussan, and their respective goons (really, Mexican morning television is basically shit D:), I'm more of the opinion that an author can't set in stone how his works are going to be interpreted. Even if I like him. Even if I know where he's coming from, being a misunderstood writer myself. *cough*
(by the way, I am not saying that my work has the same quality that Mr. Bradbury's. Not at all. STOP LOOKING AT MY LIKE THAT! I just wanted to express some professional empathy, that's all. ;_;)

The point is that
1) Average Person is going to read a same text differently, and he's going to give it a different interpretation according to his own context. Not everyone is trained in literary criticism and, because of that tragic fate, the poor souls won't take into account, for example, the author's historical context.
2) even if you are trained, you can chose to not to take into account the author's historical context, send to hell the authorial intent, and interpret the text from your own particular way to see the world, if only because a) you can, b) you want to prove your own literary theory, c) others.

[Personally, if you're curious, I usually disrespectfully disregard authorial intent, though I cherish the historical context, because that certainly tends to explain an awful lot--yes, even more than the aforementioned authorial intent.]

I'm going to shut up now, because this got far geekier and longer that I had intended at first. XD

Also, because I really, really like this song(  I'll link it here )

This has to be The Dorkiest thing I've ever seen.

Also:

KKM is eating me brain, preciousssss!!! o____o

I hadn't had so much fun since I read those first forty FMA chapters in a week. n.n

ETA of the P.S. kind: Nina's advice about getting something to hug and bite that didn't hit back was handy. Aaaand, I'm glad the marks on PlushieEd are not permanent. >.>;;

( Esta canción es tan Roy/Riza y Ed/Winry... *llora por los plotbunnies recién nacidos* )
