rudo y cursi


  • Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna play two brothers scraping by as laborers in rural Mexico , until one day a scout spies their friendly game of soccer and sign them on as star athletes for rival teams. They quickly learn that the high life of top players-fame, money, and beautiful women-has a dark side. And when their professional rivalry turns bitter and personal, the brothers see that they must reunite before they lose everything from fandago

Can't wait to see this

sign of the times



In today's NY times article Preserving Time in a Bottle (or a Jar), talks about the rise of people perserving they're food. The article makes me miss my dad so far away, in Michigan. Growing up, with his massive garden , he always canned at the end of the season. Link

I wish I had this growing up. I used to love to build house out of Leegos. They were always mansions and they always took a few detailed days to build. Leego has come a long way! Look!

The LEGO Group and Brickstructures, Inc. to produce and distribute Frank Lloyd Wright Collection® LEGO® Architecture Building Sets

The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation announced today that The LEGO Group is now the exclusive licensed manufacturer of Frank Lloyd Wright Collection® LEGO Architecture sets.

homemade treats for Greenpoint


My friend SA turned me on to this, Craigs Kitchen , a Greenpoint soup kitchen. They are looking for volunteers to make homemade deserts. " It is our goal with the dessert corps to ensure that every dessert served from the kitchen is a homemade treat made by someone from the community. A small way to connect our home kitchens to solving the hunger problems of the world."

on they're own

hora de aprender realmente español


For years i have been trying to learn spanish, I've picked up books, tried cds, even some classes. Nothing really sticks, until now. I found this site.
It's not cheesy at all, they even teach you slang. To top it all off, it is funny!

chebacca vs spock


Although I am not an avid fan of Star Trek I put all judgements aside and saw the movie last night . I am so glad that I did! It was so amazing from the special effects to the characters of JJ Abrams cast; Tyler Perry?! Whoa. That came out of nowhere. In a part of the movie, I can say that I jumped out of my seat and almost into the lap of my friend, Mike, sorry Mike. I think I have to go see the next movie too. Maybe this will turn me into a treky? I doubt it, I am definitely a Star Wars girl, Chebacca will always be my favorite.


On another note the preview before Star Trek The Hangover made me laugh, check out Tyson. It's a definite renter.
