I haven't been able to write on the last few days, because of the usual weekend problem: way too many people here at home, no time alone to write an entry. The only difference was that, since we were on a holiday since Thursday, I had a loto of people here for four days in a row. So instead of not writing during the weekend, I didn't write during the whole final half of the week.
No one had necessarily to work since Thursday. No one but ME, of course. Yeah, I went to my job while all my friends had fun. The cordinator sent from Brasília a schedule for us to acomplish, and I'm behind schedule already, so I had to go to work. AAA. I'm still behind the schedule, but not as much as before.
After work I went to Base's apartment, where my friends were to RPG. We had a pretty good session, it was very fun, Base is doing a good job as Storyteller.
Mônica, Daniel and Tiago came from São Paulo to spend the holidays with us. We had fun, played Changeling on Friday, good as always, even though my character ended the session as a frozen sexual fetish for an Ice Goddess. On Saturday everybody (and I mean EVERYBODY: Kika, Spock, Louis, Davi, Hugo, Tiago, Daniel, Danilo, Miguel, Cecília, Louis's girlfriend, Moicano, and a few of Danilo's friends from college) went to a bar called Cachaçaria. We spent the whole night talking and drinking, and ended up spending $194.40 there (I just spent $5.00, though, because I'm POOR).
Today was one of those days when Danilo wakes up inspired. When that happens, he does things like waking up at seven in the morning on a Sunday, just to make himself bread loafs, so that when the rest of the family wakes up (and whatever friends spent the night here at home) we have hot bread for breakfast. So he woke up early today and called everybody to come to my house and have a Easter meal. Daniel, Tiago, Spock and Moicano came (the familyless ones; everybody else went to have lunch with their families), and Danilo prepared pasta recipe he made up right on that moment. And it was very good tasting!! Danilo does have all the cooking skills that I lack.
It's weird how this journaling thing affects us. Lately, I've been unable to start surfing the net and looking for anything but journals. I've even tried to, but nothing came to my mind. Another thing that bothers me is that lately, everytime I find a journal I like, I find a entry saying why that journaler has quit. It's amazing. It happened with Why?, and with Overexposed. Worse yet, I've been looking for a journal from a male journaler I like, since all the journals I read are from female journalers, and when I found one I liked (in the case, Why?), I found out he was quitting.
It's kinda difficult to define my criteria for a good journal. It just clicks. A big part of it is the graphic part; I usually don't go very further on a ugly journal. But it has something to do with the writing (of course), and the journalers general ideas.
I've wanted to make something new for the Art section, but haven't been very inspired. I had an idea, today, let's see if it works.
My parents bought for Ana Paula a "Hercules" video tape. Of course, since it is for a six-year-old kid, they bought the Portuguese-dubbed version. I got really impressed with how unusually good the translation was this time, though. It has some pretty good paraphrases, and they made good rhymes for the songs without changing the meaning very much. They even put a few new jokes inside the translated text!
I'm really excited with the next Disney movie, "Mulan". It seems it will be very good. It sure looks beautiful on the trailer. But, of course, that's how all the trailers are supposed to be (not all accomplish their mission, however). I'm a big Disney animation fan, anyway, so it's not all that hard to make me go to the theater and watch one of them.
Happy Easter!!
