Red Luna

Tonight all of Mexico will enjoy a total Lunar Eclipse that will turn the Moon red. This is the first post of many that I will write in tribute to Luna, my Domina Oriens, every full moon.
"A lunar eclipse occurs at least two times a year, whenever some portion of the Earth's shadow falls upon the Moon. The Moon will always be full during a lunar eclipse; that is, from the perspective of the Sun, the Moon will be directly behind the Earth. However, since the orbital plane of the Moon is inclined by about 5° with respect to the orbital plane of the Earth (the ecliptic), most full moons occur when the Moon is either north or south of Earth's shadow. Thus in order to be eclipsed, the Moon must be near one of the two intersection points its orbit makes with the ecliptic, which are referred to as the Moon's ascending and descending nodes." -Source: Wikipedia
Anything regarding Luna, let it be news or information, will be written with the label Luna.

Cheers!!

Red Ring of Death 4

Yesterday, when I came back from work I found that my new 360 arrived that day. Honestly, I thought that it would be more troublesome than it actually was. And thus the circle is complete.

The only thing that I really hated was the fact that all of my arcade games went back to trials unless I log in to Live (but I currently cannot) and several of my themes are missing as well.

Anyway, those can be bought/played again, the good thing is that I've got my 360 back.

Cheers,

It's so hard...

It's so hard to live alone,
living without a hug,
Not expecting a kiss.

It's hard when you can't talk
about how you feel,
It's even harder
when nobody listens.

But when your lover hesitates,
When distance thins the strings
you thought would hold forever.
It's hard to stay dry,
when it's pouring all around you...

Wake up

Just an attempt to make this morning a little funny. Hope it works for you.

INTERSTELLA 5555

Just a second ago I was watching INTERSTELLA 5555 for the first time and is, with an extraordinaire music integration by masters of electronic music Daft Punk, one of the best animations I have ever seen with a story that can amuse even the most severe critics. Daft Punk brought the album and the completed story to Tokyo in the hope of creating the film with their childhood hero, Leiji Matsumoto.

I must honestly tell that even way back then in 2001 when I first watched the video for One More Time, I was perplexed by the story that was told. I knew there was a continuation for it when later that year the video for Aerodynamic came out, I understood that the album Discovery was telling only one story throughout the entire setlist.

A very dear friend of mine told me there was a movie by the name of INTERSTELLA 5555 that featured all the videos that were seen back in 2001. I must say that, eventhough I watched the videos for the first four tracks and thought that they were very good, I found the movie very entertaining and worthy of several watchings that will leave you with the same feeling with the closing scene.

If you, my dear imaginary reader, have not had the opportunity of watching this movie I invite you to look for it at a music store and ask for it (if you can't find it, you can alway download it) and spend a wonderful time with this one. My current favorite.

I'll leave a video for you to know what I'm talking about. THANX, DERICK, FOR THIS ONE!

Cheers and I'll see you next time!


Enjoy the entire movie:

Red Ring of Death 3


I called UPS (01-800-902-9200 in Mexico), my 360 will be picked up tomorrow (02-7) between 9 and 6 at my place, no charge. There's no problem if the doorman receives the package. I will receive my new console, unless anything goes wrong, in 3 to 5 business days, that's next week.

Red Ring of Death 2


Following the events that took place on January 26th, yesterday I arrived at my place and found that the box where I'm supposed to send my 360 to the Repair Center arrived yesterday.

I called a week ago to this number 001-866-745-8312 (Spanish Support) and found out I don't need a ticket or the Warranty. The box arrived about 4 days (labor) after I called them. That's kind of quick. Now I hope to send this box today, but I gotta check first with UPS if anyone but me (i.e. the doorman) can receive the package, or if I do have to receive it, change the address so it arrives at work.

I'll let you know what happens next.

Cheers!
