Sigh... I miss bagels...
You Are a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel |
You are warm, loving, and genuinely selfless. You enjoy comforting other people, and you easily fall into the roll of caretaker. Of all the types, you're the most likely to be an excellent cook. You tend to have something delicious for breakfast that you've cooked up for everyone. |

Yes, Palin wears Tina Fey glasses
Well, I told you so... Palin looks like Tina Fey. So I guess it was only a matter of time we got this... definitely portraits those two well...
"Can you believe it, Hillary?".................."I CANNOT!!!!!"

Warning: downer.
I was there, at Loquillo's concert, last Sunday. The song is a version of a poem that has always been a favorite of mine, especially as you can see a fragment of it at the Universidad Complutense subway station. True enough, it's probably not the best thing to read at birthdays, but still great in a depressing kind of way...
NO VOLVERÉ A SER JOVEN
Que la vida iba en serio
uno lo empieza a comprender más tarde
-como todos los jóvenes, yo vine
a llevarme la vida por delante.
Dejar huella quería
y marcharme entre aplausos
-envejecer, morir, eran tan sólo
las dimensiones del teatro.
Pero ha pasado el tiempo
y la verdad desagradable asoma:
envejecer, morir,
es el único argumento de la obra.
-- Jaime Gil de Biedma.
(and here, a chance to use my translating wheels)
WON’T BE YOUNG ANYMORE
Life was in earnest –
one realizes that only later.
As with all the youngsters, I came
to take life by storm.
I wanted to leave my mark
and leave with an ovation
– to age, to die, were only
the dimensions of the theatre.
But time has gone by
and the ugly truth begins to show:
to age, to die,
is the only plot of the play.

GASP!!! Tigh IS running for president!!!
*Waaarning!* -- follow the first link at your own risk... there's a major spoiler of Galactica's season 3/4 there. And you definitely don't want that spoiler. Really. You don't. So if you haven't seen the 3rd season finale , just don't it. Don't. Seriously.

Although, me myself thought first of my beloved Tina Fey when I saw Palin... sigh... and the people at Time Magazine thought she resembled "a classier, older, made-better-life-choices Britney Spears." I guess she has a common face. Or maybe it's the glasses. Which, I guess, will end up having me hearing I look like her. Too....
