Some people never go crazy...
by Emily
Today I saw Barfly, directed by Barbet Schroeder (he made Murder by Numbers), written by Charles Bukowski, starring Mickey Rourke (yep, The Wrestler guy or Marv from Sin City), Faye Dunaway and Alice Krige (she was Christabella in Silent Hill).
To start off, this is not your typical movie. The main character is pretty antagonistic of what I had in mind from the beginning. Since the first scene you like the guy, he has a certain spark that just reels you into his world.
I consider it a drama, but it's not going to make you cry, that's for sure ha ha.
The main idea of the movie is you follow a jack of all trades who lives one day at a time, booze is his main concern and the rest of the world can go about it's business; you see his encounters and the choices he makes. I liked his philosophy, I think that was what made me go through all the movie, I was curious on what he was going to do next.
I think Rourke really did a good job with the character. If you are in the mood for an out of the ordinary drama, this might be a good option. Enjoy!

LX Garden and Cats
Friday, April 10, 2009 by Emily
It's been a while since I've posted a series of pics, so here we go :D enjoy
My mom has a lot of these in different areas of the garden, and depending of the light they get are the color they have. From light green, to purple greenish to a darker green.
A cat can also be man's best friend.

It's pretty amazing how things happen, a little while ago, I was sad (I'm feeling better, thanks), too much thinking really hit me, wait... I think I need to go back a little...
My bro went back to Mexicali because of some work he had to do, his cat is staying with us for the rest of the week. Whoever has met this little feline knows that this is not your typical cat, she meows in the most bizarre way, she doesn't like to be petted much less carried, she doesn't like strangers (and if they are cat owners, she goes berserk). My cousin calls her devil cat, I sometimes call her bipolar cat. And for some reason she likes my room and my favorite blanket, so she sleeps on it.
Going on, I was feeling down, and started to cry, got out of bed and planning on listening to some music and drawing (that always helps me). The curious thing is that she got up, and sat on my lap (she only has done that once, she was a small kitten) and purred until I calmed down. Then she just stared at me, then jumped off and got back to being her hyperactive old self again.
Thanks bipolar cat :)

Just in case you were curious...

Today I came across a web page containing a really good documentary called The Pixar Story, I had the privilege of seeing it in Siggraph last year. It's a true inspiration. If you are a fan of Pixar films, I highly recommend you watch it.
The downside is that when you reach 72 minutes the web page will make you wait a little while to continue, but believe me it's really worth it.
I found it online though Documentalizate and it's in spanish.
The documentary was directed by Lesly Iwerks.
Enjoy!
