How did you win? Can I win a date with John Malkovich?

Redbox hooked me up. Yes, you can... as long as you don't mind waiting till June and the fact that Megan Fox will be expecting you to buy her roses too.

Oh, I didn't know Surrogates' already out on DVD. No, I thought it's like a movie screening service.

No es un video nuevo, pero si no lo han visto antes, se los recomiendo. Sutherland habla de uno de mis temas favoritos: la percepción. El ejemplo de los Shreddies es muy gracioso.

"El Gobierno brasileño ha autorizado el consumo de un alucinógeno en rituales religiosos tras años de discusiones y polémicas. La liberalización de la droga, llamada ayahuasca, daime u hoasca, que usaban los indios de la Amazonia brasileña en sus rituales, acaba de aparecer en el Boletín Oficial del Estado."

Pretend Office makes it sound funny, but invitation e-mails are evil.

"The recent frenzy in Bali stood in notable contrast to the research paralysis that has gripped this tropical archipelago since late 2006, when Supari declared that flu viruses circulating in Indonesia belonged to her government alone. It was a bizarre, 21st-century twist on an age-old intellectual property argument. Developing nations had long fought passionately over plant and native human genes, but no one had ever before staked claim to microbes that birds could carry anywhere. Yet the 57-year-old health minister insisted she had cause: Rich Western nations were patenting the viral genomes, then using the information to create vaccines that were sold for profit to other Western powers while benefiting Indonesia not at all. If Supari had stopped there, she might have garnered real support. But she ramped up the rhetoric, launching a barrage of fear bombs by accusing the United States of genetically engineering H1N1 (the swine flu virus) and H5N1 (the bird flu pathogen) as...

Does anyone know of a Linux alternative for Multiping?
I'm looking for something that is very similar in functionality: pinging multiple targets and being able to access timeline graphs along with their histories. Don't need anything fancy. I'd appreciate any feedback. ( In case anyone is wondering, I'm referring to this Multiping: http://www.nessoft.com/multipi... )

"My films often demonstrate the impossibility of human communication, or the current of apathy that runs through human relations. The reason for this is because society is becoming an increasingly economy-based one, and capitalism and consumerism breed such attitudes."

Y la parte que me gustó más: Tras utilizar el término "miembra", Bibiana Aído excusó su lapsus alegando que se debía a su reciente viaje a Iberoamérica, donde según ella se emplea esta expresión. Esto es "lo más grave" de la situación para Gregorio Salvador, porque "no es cierto, en absoluto, que allí se utilice ese término", puede que "alguna como ella lo diga; casi nunca nadie está solo en su propia estupidez, siempre tiene acompañantes".

"The novel as a museum, the writer as a curator is a new convention that could possibly lend itself to other works. Kafka's Trial, for instance, might work well assuming it was housed in vast premises with a lot of corridors. Melville's Moby-Dick would look like a cross between the Natural History Museum, the Golden Hind, and a crime scene. The Old Curiosity Shop is a given (with a shop on Portsmouth Street in Westminster thought to be the inspiration behind Dickens's antique shop) so are Nineteen Eighty Four's room 101 and various ministries. Myriad examples present themselves, which poses the question: what novel-museum would you like to explore?" -- What an excellent idea.

Reminder of why doing cocaine is stupid. 1. "Heart failure is one of the most common cocaine-associated fatalities." 2. "Levamisole also causes the immune system to stop working so well by killing off white blood cells (in fact, this is why it is rarely used in humans in modern medicine) and several cases of life-threatening illness caused by levamisole-cut cocaine have already been reported."

On New Year's Eve, I played Dig-dug at the Gameworks. It's a bit different than the NES version of the game with the graphics, and it's an arcade version of it. It was awesome playing with my neighbor. Too many things that remind me.
- Bo
Yes, it's different. I've played it at the Schaumburg Gameworks once a while ago... and I might have mentioned it to you too. The joystick was defective though, so I lost the game in record time. It was a total waste of my gameworks credit and a stab at my nostalgia. Vermins. I shake my fist at them.

He described exactly what I'm always looking for: "autonomous, resonant images that – like lines of poetry –stay in the mind long after the film has run its course." -- Coincidentally, Paradjanov's words sound familiar too. Pineapples are five dollars each. I'm freezing in alienating ideas and poorly insulated rooms, threatening spiders.

For the ones that stay, Holy Mountain is full of them, and you have to rather interpret them yourself. But two scenes from Werckmeister Harmonies didn't just stay but were burnt into my mind. Of course, you have to allow them to first. Sometimes it's better to sacrifice perfection for "intuition" (for the lack of a better word at the moment) and vice versa, but no matter what you choose, you must not forget the blanket.
- Bo
Most of Werckmeister Harmonies still haunts my mind. Sometimes it isn't necessary to sacrifice anything. Fuck the blanket.

If you only see the geese flying from north to south, where do they come from and where are they now?
- Bo
Is that a question from the interview? A man told me that the geese were in his field. He said I wouldn't be able to see them, but that they were there. He seemed to be telling the truth.
- Rebeca
No, it's just a metaphor I used. Here is another one: The geese don't always remind me of where they are going, so I lose track of where precisely they are. On a side note, I ran for about 4 miles today.

No word from Google Apps 48+ hours later. This is disappointing. Anyone know how to contact someone from @Google?
