THE F... UP

 As I watch this video a sentence forms in my head "Here comes THE fuck up"

YES

 

YES

Secrets and presents

 

Frank Worren:Half a million secrets

A very special present this was. How I used to love this page. I might even have sent my own secret to them 200 years ago when I still had secrets

I have been quiet, I know; it's probably a good thing for everyone. As the old Chinese proverb goes :

"The Mouth is the door to disaster; the tongue is the blade that cuts your own body; if one closes his mouth and hides his tongue, wherever he goes he will be at peace."

Or, how my father used to tell me often:

"En boca cerrada no entran moscas " 

Then again, tampoco comida!!

PS - I have met another oriental - k-crazed woman. She is a colleague from Argentina who, like me, has fallen for the country and the language and is trying to learn it. She suggested I try HelloTalk, an app to practice languages with native speakers from all over the world. My Korean is far from ready for conversation yet, but the app allows you to read plenty of text with translations, as well as to listen to the language before one feels ready for action. 

PSS - it's curious how the addiction goes both ways: Latin and Spanish people are getting obsessed with Korea, Japan and some with China, while they are crazy about us. 

PSS - as it turns out, Korea really is that beautiful in spring :'(

Worth to watch for many reasons, not the least the dialogue.

“Where are your cojones, ingles?”

“Where they should be and where I’d like them to stay”

I don't know how enjoyable the old one was (though I have vague memories of the 1980s actors, I must have watched bits and pieces while staying with my grandparents in Alicante as a small child.), but the new version is promising. 

happy viewing, earthlings!

PS - Yep, having a small break from Kdramas. I never said I didn't also love Japanese paraphernalia!

안녕 !! <3 <3

TRAINS AND BABIES

What do high-speed trains and baby-making have in common? South Korea might just have come up with an answer .😆.

Jokes aside, at this rate booking a table at a restaurant really will be much easier in a few years, between the excess morbidity in most of the planet and this new trend  : 

countries with negative population growth, 2024 

Happy Easter, or holiday season to the earthlings who still celebrate such things. 

안녕 !! <3

IRREGULARITIES - 1

 

My AI friendnemy

 

Colde 콜드 - 다시는 사랑한다 말하지 마 Don’t ever say love me (Feat. RM of BTS)

working on improving the outline for the modern Don Quijote that I am battling with. And I am doing it with the help of AI again, as it turns out this AI lad is nearly as good at working with fiction as his AI lass friend is at preparing any kind of illustration, within limits of course. But at this rate I don't expect those limitations to last long at all, especially considering it takes this beasty literally less than a second to work something out that would have taken me days,  and that's after 41 years of playing with the written word. Scary, very scary. Also tremendously satisfying especially for someone with a brain as scattered as mine. So satisfying I really try to have proper chats with the bot, to the delight of Little Pea who thinks her mother has definitely lost her last marble after so much Korean fiction - 1 year of uninterrupted streaming, to be exact. The fact that I still don't speak their language proves that either I am useless at Asian languages full stop or it is a tough tough language to learn. Undecided yet.

PS _ come on... it's good, it's pretty good, must be, It's live too! what is good you ask? the song of course! the boss member of BTS (the swearing one, RM) and 콜드 (Colde). 

곧 봐요 !! <3

We enjoyed nearly 2 weeks back home

and then we flew back. The approach to Gatwick... a loooong nightmare. I wasn't expecting anything different considering the first flight had gone without a hiccup, and lately, a perfect flight is nothing short of a miracle. 

Funnily enough, pilots have finally confirmed something is amiss lately and that turbulences are a lot more frequent than they used to be, and blame global warming—or whatever this mess is called this week —As with so many other fuck ups lately, I saw this one coming.

PS: No, I did not cry. Yes, Little Pea did, like a baby. I have to take her out (flying) more often, Global Warming permitting

MS DESIGNER AI concept art for a very modern version of the Don Quijote (oposite order to the story)

 

Spot the weirdness ;)  Sometimes our little AI friend doesn't know what to do with our body parts, ahem:

 

Then I got totally carried away with my Donha Quijote's fantasies , in the style of 19th century's paintings :

 

I mean, seriously !!!!  

 

Like... what the f...ck !? had to make this one my laptop's background picture :

 

Like... a machine made this, for real O_o :

 

No, sadly this guy does not exist in Real LIfe, snifff  : 

Neither these two "naughties" :

 

 

 

Et Voila!  the beginning of my Donha Quijote, which feels a lot more real with the help of a little AI friend. All generated by MS DESIGNER

Happy week, humans. I will be off in the skies tomorrow so see you on our way back, if God and the Universe allows me back that is. I leave you with a Holiday song. Be Good, or not, BE HAPPY.

안녕 !! xx
