Prison Break on Rewatch

 I remember being on my second year of high school and discovering the first season of Prison Break in French during Ramadan, as part of the night program after breaking the fast.

I remember not one giving a fuck about it around me.

I remember following it with intent and poise, not in my fanatic way yet with consistent attention.

I remember three years later, in prep school, where not only did Prison Break blow, but plenty of students would try to personify the main characters and one of them legit was embodying Michael Schofield.

I remember talking about how the show spoke broadly and yet still falsely about Hook's Law and Tensile Strength. At least don't make the structural engineer speak about the topic; ma dudes, even when you gave keywords to hint to technical calculations, you still manage to get it wrong.

Anyway, lately I was catching up with a friend and she mentioned sleeping to Prison Break reruns and last night, my friend was taking some time killing (or rather cheesing) bosses, so I remembered Prison Break existed and decided to rewatch.

I still love that show and to be honest, I like how poised and attentive I am during the process of watching this one.

I'm not too sure whether I would give the season 5 a try. Season 4 was already too much of a push for the old fan I am.

But let's see.

I also fucked up my sleeping schedule in the process, which is shit to start with. But then I have to wake up at 7h00 in the next days.

Just when I gave up caffeine addiction, I will be going back at it to nurse the 7h00 a.m. shock.

Well, at least, I got some resting done during this vacation.

I made some Tagines this December :D

 Goddamn I nailed it.

And S. nailed the desserts! They are so good I'm not feeling guilty despite the rancid flesh and the sluggishness and the lack of motion.

Demon's Souls is Over ;_;

 After almost two months of believing in the soul of the cards, cultivating the Chi, unlocking the Nen, ascending Chakra, showing resilience, entering in covenant with beasts and delaying peepee and caca to watch the goddamn player at work, N. has finally reached the end of Demon's Souls.

And it was every bit satisfying as I was expecting it to be :D! What a fucking ride man, what a goddamn fucking ride.

About Christmas

 My first Latino Christmas and one of the highlights of the year.

I forgot what it felt like to be included in a group of people without discomfort or lectures request.

I also forgot how it was when someone was too ashamed to mention me, or even introduce me, to their family circle.

Finally, I forgot what it was that hugs were, and how it felt when someone tells you face-to-face they consider you a friend and appreciate you.

Damn, that night played a number on me.

No, actually, being in the place where I am played a goddamn number on me.

Damn.

Babysitting in Sweater Weather

 

Ma Boy turns 6 today

 

This is the first time I have Sonny over on his birthday.

This boy has been MA BOY for as long as I got know him.

Happy days ahead Sonny! You're the best good boy there is and if it weren't for you, I don't know how much harder things would have been, and let's not think about it, it makes me needlessly emotional
