Quote of the day
you can be my scene
you know that I’ll protect you
from all of the obscene
I wonder what youre doing
imagine where you are
there’s oceans in between us
but that’s not very far

Book of the week
Two magicians shall appear in England. The first shall fear me; the second shall long to behold me…
Centuries ago, when magic still existed in England, the greatest magician of them all was the Raven King. A human child brought up by fairies, the Raven King blended fairy wisdom and human reason to create English magic. Now, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, he is barely more than a legend, and England, with its mad King and its dashing poets, no longer believes in practical magic.
Then the reclusive Mr Norrell of Hurtfew Abbey appears and causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. News spreads of the return of magic to England and, persuaded that he must help the government in the war against Napoleon, Mr Norrell goes to London. There he meets a brilliant young magician and takes him as a pupil. Jonathan Strange is charming, rich and arrogant. Together, they dazzle the country with their feats.
But the partnership soon turns to rivalry. Mr Norrell has never conquered his lifelong habits of secrecy, while Strange will always be attracted to the wildest, most perilous magic. He becomes fascinated by the shadowy figure of the Raven King, and his heedless pursuit of long-forgotten magic threatens, not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything that he holds dear.
Elegant, witty and utterly compelling, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell creates a past world of great mystery and beauty that will hold the reader in thrall until the last page.

The Notebook
"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough."

Gosto de ti!
Aproveitando o post do Jota no Blog Lisboa e os amigos, queria dizer que ele tem razao. Os nosso amigos sabem que nos gostamos deles, mas nuna fica demais lembrar-lhes isso, porque o famoso destino tem das suas coisas,e quando menos esperamos estamos num lugar diferente, com novos amigos, novas vidas, e nos arrependemos desses momentos em que nao dissemos a esse amigo: Gosto de ti!
Estas ultimas semanas tive tempo pra pensar em muitas coisas e cheguei a conclusao de que as vezes perco muito tempo com estupidezes, faco certas coisas que nao valem a pena, mas depois quando convida-me pra sair com os meus amigos, eu nao vou porque nao me apetece esse dia, nao quero estar com eles, ou tenho uma coisa mais importante pra fazer, etc. Enerva-me ser assim as vezes...
As situacoes que ja perdi, os momentos que nao passei, as gargalhadas que nao ouvi, as palavras que nao disse...
Depois, quando ja nao podemos ver esses mesmos amigos por diversas razoes, pensamos: quantas oportunidades perdi!!!!!!
Entao, por todas esas vezes em que nao o disse e por todas aquelas em que vou perder a oportunidade de dize-lo, aqui vai : gosto muito de todos voces!!!!!!!!!!

No coments
Jack, a 15-pound orange-and-white cat, cat sits under a treed black bear in a backyard in West Milford, N.J., Sunday, June 4, 2006. When the bear climbed down, the cat chased it up another nearby tree. Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat. The cat's owners called it away and the bear ran off.

Ya es bastante difícil intentar estudiar dos materia juntas como es macro y contabilidad, pero si le juntamos obras en el piso de arriba y en el edifício al lado, se vuelve casi misión imposible!!!!!
No basta el cansancio y las pocas horas dormidas todos los días durantes las ultimas 3 semanas, como para que unos señores llamados obreros les de por pulir el suelo a las 8 de la mañana de un sábado!!!!!!! No me parece normal...ni a los fines de semana lo dejan a uno descansar..y después que los profesores no se admiren de que no paso los examenes, pues con esta banda sonora para estudiar, cualquier formula o teoría no entra ni porque me la inyecten en intravenosa.
