September updates

It has been a long time since my last post; job is not really absorbing but I simply don’t spend much time in front of the computer anymore. I have watched The Godfather trilogy recently and I wanted to write one of my eclectic reviews, but the idea of sitting for one hour writing in two languages isn’t very attractive right now. (more…)

Akira: Manga vs. Movie

I’ve just watched Akira again, just after having reread the manga after a long time. And as I’ve wanted to do for a long time, I’m going to write a small review of how well each version stands to the other. (more…)

How hard is having a job

Well, it has been one week in my new job. It wasn’t bad, I must admit. I’ve been nervous during all the week except yesterday; I think I’m getting the hang of it. The work is relatively easy, although also relatively complex: lots of rules with lots of exceptions. For now, the really hardest part is organization. I got too used to create my own methods and organization to achieve a goal, but here I must adapt to the existing organization and methods. (more…)

Weight and job

Well, yesterday I got two good news. First one is that I weighted myself with my nurse, but the scale didn’t show good results. Once the nurse got off the scale, the results improved. In my first month of change of eating habits, I’ve lost 10kg (22 pounds). Not bad - what the heck, it’s awesome ^_^ Actually I’ve not made big changes, it’s not a strict diet or anything. Avoid unhealthy food and eat healthier and cleaner, eat fish once a day and don’t eat bread, and distribute meals in five times without eating stuff in the middle. (more…)

Lilac in my room

Finally I’ve been able to paint my room, which was in severe need after years of smoking and humidity. I chose a beautiful lilac, as you can see in the pictures. They’ve been three hectic days and one more to recover from all the moving, cleaning, painting, and moving again. But the result was worth it.

1984: Tercera parte (y última)

Con 1984, Orwell crea una antiutopía muy cercana al arquetipo perfecto de infierno futuro. De hecho, todas las distopías con gobierno totalitario suelen llamarse orwellianas, hasta tal punto llega su influencia. Pocas veces se ha llegado a ese grado distópico, tal vez en novelas como Un Mundo Feliz (Aldous Huxley, 1932) donde todos debían ser felices, les gustase o no; o la delirante parodia, y a la vez ácida crítica de Fin De Siglo (Jacques Sternberg, 1971).

Buenas noticias, para variar

Si es que la revista Consumer Eroski lo mismo da disgustos que alegrías. La que he leído hoy era alegría de las buenas. Enderesulta que la UE pone fin al monopolio de las sociedades de derechos de autor. Sí, sí, habéis leído bien, ahora los autores tienen derecho a decidir qué entidad gestora de derechos de autor es la encargada de gestionar sus derechos, royalties, etc. (more…)

Usurpación semántica en el ámbito político

La verdad es que no sé como empezar a explicar éste tema. No os asustéis por el título, es simplemente una descripción de un caradurismo al que asistí anoche, cuando por desgracia ví en la televisión un reportaje humorístico sobre la clausura del Campus FAES. (more…)

I just got a little postcard from a canuck friend. I already saw the sign, but it’s different to get a postcard with it. Fun!

1984: Segunda parte

Posted on July 9th, 2008 at 7:17pm by Pi.
Categories: Books, Untranslated.

En 1984, Orwell dibuja un futuro poco esperanzador, en el que una sociedad paupérrima se arrastra bajo el yugo de un gobierno totalitario. En esa sociedad, un miembro llamado Winston Smith lucha con su escepticismo y su inteligencia para no ser absorbido por el lavado de cerebro continuo al que es sometido. Pero Winston no es el héroe del libro; es sólo una victima más. Vemos su camino que va, como él mismo reconoce, hacia la muerte y la destrucción, al ir en contra del gobierno casi omnipresente y casi omnipotente. (more…)
