statue man

Camera phone pic

I went to get my hair done (cut, color, style) and in the backyard there was a statue and I couldn’t resist snapping a pic of him with my camera phone. Click the thumbnail for a larger picture. The sky was cloudy but bright and the surroundings were rain-soaked and winter cold.

planta

A Soda Stereo song translated.

This is a great and hypnotic song, it’s called Planta written by two members of Soda Stereo in their Sueño Stereo open link in new window album.

Soda Stereo – Planta
(Plant)

Sabia Savia por mi cuerpo
como oro de Acapulco
Estoy preparándome
no sé que me pasa
que ya no puedo volver
(al oir… al oir…)

Tanto irme por las ramas
ahora recorro las heridas
no fue suficiente fe
una vez por semana
al oir… al oir…

Mi voz vegetal
necesito hoy tener amarrados los pies
En el aire sé que soy nada más que menos
de lo que podría ser
Me resisto
a empujarte a otro juego de azar
en el aire reverbera el ansia de mi voz

Mi voz vegetal
vegetal
Amor vegetal

Wise sap over my body
like Acapulcan gold
I am preparing myself
I don’t know what’s going on
that I can’t return
(to listen… to listen…)

Much traveling among the branches
now covering my wounds
there wasn’t sufficient faith
one time a week
to listen… to listen…

My vegetable voice
I need my feet tied up today
In the air I know I am nothing less
than what I can be
I resist pushing you to another game of chance
In the air, the anxiety in my voice reverberates

My vegetable voice
vegetable
Vegetable love

© 1995 Soda Stereo. Lyrics: Gustavo Cerati/Zeta Bosio

A success story in hotlinking hell.

The oasis in the desert that I found in the mod_rewrite land of Apache’s world is the delicious line of code below:

RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png|pdf|swf)$ - [F]

What does it do? Well, let’s Tarantino open link in new window it and start at the beginning even though you know the ending; then you’ll find out why the code above is deliciously, sumptiously, clandestinely my favorite.
