With just one line

He messed up my weekend and my heart
And I liked.

About the HIMYM Finale

As the majority of viewers, I totally hated it.
I could make an huge text about all the things I didn't liked, but I was so angry yesterday I want avoid going to deep on this matter again. I only want to say two things: 

1. to the ones who defend Robin regretted not choosing Ted, that doesn't mean she loved him. I understood at the Halloween scene she was jealous when she realized that destiny and "finding the one" was something that happened for Ted (who spent 9 years of our lives defending this truth) and not for her (who never believed anyway). Through the whole show Robin represented that side of all of us that likes to know or to keep someone always waiting, believing and loving us, even when we know it's never gonna happen or work out. To put she and Ted together again in the end is a big consolation prize for her and maybe to many of us, especially like that without any kind of effort, but kills the very essence of Ted's conception for love, which was to find someone who's ready and open to give as much love and devotion as he could.

2. If you don't agree with this and liked the final episode, I'm happy for you. I actually envy you because life goes on and these 9 years were not in vain for you. But if you think like me, I highly recommend you to watch this alternative version made by a fan and take this, from now on, as the real finale.

Sunday

Lunching with friends: good music, cold beer, nice weather.
Perfect!

Recordação (pra Issa)

Nessas duas últimas semanas, os textos que tenho trabalhado em sala falam sobre o sentido do passado e da memória antes da História ciência (se é que ela ainda é ou quer ser isso).
Mas mesmo depois dela, o fato é que a nossa dor ainda é a mesma: a da finitude da vida. Só na memória dos outros que nos eternizamos. O lembrar vence, ou talvez seja melhor dizer, estica o tempo, relabora o espaço, faz do ontem hoje.
É cruel mas bastante simbólico, poético até, saber da tua morte em meio a essas reflexões. Se fosse pra racionalizar como muitos pedem, não éramos amigas há tempos, e pra alguns talvez nem mesmo tenhamos sido.
E no entanto, estás em tantos lugares da minha memória! Tu e tuas histórias, as contadas e as que ficavam pela metade. A menina do beijo mais longo já narrado (ou inventado), digno de Guinness Book.
Agora enquanto estou deitada no chão, ouvindo o "Throwing copper" e pensando nisso tudo, é como se estivéssemos de volta no teu quarto, com as meninas, conversando, rindo, montando uma banda que infelizmente nunca saiu do papel.
Aquela foto da Scarlet O'Hara na parede, de fato ela te resumia: tão forte, tão frágil...
Já não estavas aqui antes, e também nunca vais deixar de estar.

Feeling Irish?

I'm going out, kids. Please, behave!

Encontros

Música, sushi e uma certeza:
as almas não reconhecem fronteiras.

St. Patrick's week

So I decided to change the mood a little bit here. 

The St. Patrick's week is officially opened. Yeah, it's a 9 days' week.

I'm all about green t-shirts and making plans for next weekend.

St. Patrick's Day is gonna be awesome this year!

Holidays - day 5

Morning of 2013.
What a night! One of the best new year's eve ever, with two of my favorite people in the world.

My Charlie Brown Christmas - performed by the cast of Scrubs (again)

This post was first published in 2007, but since it's Christmas Eve and I still like this video, I'm doing my first repost.
Some people celebrate Christmas tonight, some do it at the 25th, and others just don't. 
But no matter the option I hope you all have a fantastic holiday season!
Much love and peace!

Thank you, unknown person

I tend to like people in general, but things become easier when I discover:
1. they have born the same year I did
2. they support the same soccer teams I do
3. they give the same importance to a band or a specific song I deeply love. 

So today I've found a blog where this guy thinks Leave is the best REM song in the best REM LP. And that's something I think since 1996 but until this day I had only met 2 people who can name New adventures in hi-fi as a great album and only 1 of them thinks Leave is a great song.

So I just wanna say: Dude you're 100% right! And thank you. We could be friends.

Things from the past

Besides packing my stuff, I've been cleaning the house these last 3 days from the other and higher pile of paper I saved during all these years living (and coming back) here.

So I end up rediscovering some funny and nice things of my personal history:

Lots of pens and floppy discs

The candles from my 25th birthday (the first second I've spent here)

Tickets from concerts, plays and expositions I have seen

And the best, many letters and postcards from family and friends

Now most of these people have kids and don't write me anymore...

Novos começos no ano novo

Estou em plena temporada de casamentos, aniversários, formaturas, chás-de-bebê...
Minha vida social está particularmente agitada neste mês de Janeiro. Nada como um começo de ano inspirado pelo sucesso e felicidade de pessoas tão queridas.
E não vou pensar em dieta tão cedo... :)
