Having seen the trailer and heard things related to  the book and its main protagonist, Katniss Evergreen, I feel like if I can boldly say that I nominate Katniss to be one of the biggest Mary-Sue of this century! I will top her with Bella sawn (from Twilight saga^(remember her?)^). She is like:"Oh, everything is my fault. I`m the Mokingjay, I`m a rebel, Peeta wanted kids but I did not but now I sort-of understand why." So self center and egocentric, such a Mary-Sue!

A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift

So beforehand some Irish background! The english kept a strong hand towards them, they were cruel to them. Force them to raise their sheeps, but why sheeps? Well they did so beacuse whe sheeps graze they (almost) completly eat the pasture, which means that no cattle could graze due to the sheep. So it means no meat for the Irish! There diet was plainly based on potatoes. But what happends when you plant only one crop? It sucks all the nutrients form the Earth making it infertile, thus ending the potato production.

 Also, the Catholics prohibite abortion or any `unnatural` form of anticontraceptive methods, so it was not uncommon to have a full house. But, obviously they could not afford them all so they were turned into beggar, thieves, you name it. 

 Swift pamplets starts by detailing a common Dublin street scenarios, beggars here, eggars there, beggars on the roof, a mother followed by sis childrens, etc. They are so poor that, according to him, they can only join the army and fight with James Edward (trying to regain his throne) in Spain, or sell themeselves to the Barbadoes (sort of indenture servants). He goes on saying that those children are unuseful, and if anyone  finds a way to make them useful, then deserves the highest glory. (So badly the Irish where seen)

 Here come the introduction of his "plan", it will not only be for the beggars but to all the Irish population; after being "drop from the dam" (views them as being born like and from animals) mothers can only feed them for a solar years. Afterward, they become a burden, and for their life they will but beg for food. They`ll be contibuting to the feeding andd clothing of many. At this point is imaginable what his proposal truly is. This plan, will prevent women from aborting (since Irish are Catholics, that is condenmed practice) bastard children, which he consives as something inhuman. Plus they also used to sell their children, whom are not worthy so whomever is selling them does not wins a lot of money. 

 An American (barbarian) has told him that a year old that has been properly nursed (breastfeed, and fat), roasted, stewes, baked or broiled makes a nutritive, and tasteful dish. Hundred and twenty thousand he has computed, for breeding twenty thousand should be safe; from it at least one-fourth should be male. (4 females and 1male to "do them") Notice how he keeps treating them as though they were me animals. ANd the remaining be sell at the markets, fat and plump; a children could make at least two dishes, or be magnificently displayed like a roasted pig. A good, hearty baby can weight up to twenty eight pounds, but the est meat will be conserved by the landowners, since they are owners of the infant breeders. The charge of nursing a beggar`s child is two shillings per year, they can be sold at ten shillings and give the mother eight shillings. Those who are more thrifty may skinned them and use their carcasses to make gloves for the ladies and summer boots. Although the butchers may not want to perform such a task, also he recommends buying them alive and butchered them as though they were pigs.

Swift also proposes another "plan" for the older children: be used as though they were game. But, according to an American, boys who are 12 or up taste horrible, due to the fact that they have exercise. Killing girls 13 and up means that breeders will be reduce, and seems unhuman. (The ironny just sticks!) There is also some concern for the sick and old, but it is quite fast, he says that they don`t matter because soon they`ll be dead.

 Swift summarizes his major points:

1. It`ll diminished the number of Catholics.
2. The poor people will have tabgible assets (something to sell and pay the landlord`s rent)
3. It is a new, innovative dish.
4. The breeders, beside getting some coin, get rid of a burden.
5. That meat will better the taverns, it`ll be served with the best wine, cook by the best.
6. Women will try their best to nurse them to make them fat, and thus more expensive. Likewise men will not beat their wife in fear of a miscarriage, but care for them like they care for female such as mare in foal.

As well as the probability of importing the meat to other counties, or just keep it in home and enjoy it. Swift finds no flaw in his plan, and it was only proposed and planned for Ireland. What he says next is something that highlighted that his plan was to be taken seriously, not comical like now a day it is viewed. Before anyone contradicts them, Swift says that they should take into consideration two things. Firstly, it is the only way to give thousand of useless mouth a source of income. Secondly, he is sure that also "creatures in human form" will much rather preferred to have been sold when they were a year old, rather then live a beggars life.Viw it as a portunity to save those children from leading the life they led.
 At the end he humbly says that his children are past that age and his wife past childbearing, this says, or can be seen like: "I could do it (sell his babies), but my wife can`t have no more, and my son won`t make a good food." Swift "humbly" says that if he could he would implement it.

Where was Gaga?

Over the past two years we have been bewitched by Gaga`s outrageous performaces and outfits, but this years Red Carpet felt a bit empty. Why? Easy, Mother Monster was no were to be seen! During the whole carpet-thing, I was thinking/wondering: when will Gaga appear?!
 In the Grammys of 2010 she wore a space-age solar system dress, towering platforms, mostard-like hair, while carrying a star-shaped sparkle. Representing or showing the fab-star that she is.

Who will forget Gagas eggcellent entrance?

Carried by her slaves and accompanied by her nurse in yolk-color outfits.

The stage was then lit up and she hatched to sing her newest single, "Born This Way."
She was wearing a yolk-colored latex bra, pasties, a skirt and showed off a bare stomach. She also had bare pointy shoulders, black lipstick and a long, pink side ponytail. What a blast it was!

But this year we barely saw her, there were some rumors running around it. Like: she has run out of ideas (yeah righhhttt...) The most accepted excuse is a rather simple and tru one: she is a diva.
 For this year Grammys she wore custom Versace, which included a rhinestone black veil that covered her entire body (even her face) and then became a sort of chain mail for a structured metallic gold bodice with extra-sharp shoulders. She also had a matching gold scepter!!! and metallic nails to finish the look. She added a pop of color to her ensemble with a matte red lip and strong cat eye. Her train is also connected to her hand for mobility's sake

We saw Gaga in a dominatrix fashion net, fish netted from head to toes, but compared to Nicki Minaj Versace cape and her pope, (and even in comparison to Russian singer Sasha Gravida machine gun) she looked....tamed/lame. Not e

Gaga got caught in the dominatrix fashion net, covering herself in black fishnets from head to train. She did carry a gold scepter, but considering Nicki Minaj showed up with her own pope and even Russian singer Sasha Gradiva wore machine guns on her arm, this feels ... tame

Grammys 54th: Nicki Minaj



Nicki Minaj in her scarlet Versace



Nicki Minaj and her...umh.accesory?

I know that the Grammys 54th were on Sunday but either way, I`m also going to talk about them. 

Sure there was a lot of theatricalism! Not just in performances but also in disguises/clothes! One of the most remarkable was Nicki Minaj! She wore a scarlet (harlet <e for o>) Versace cap, with a Medusa embroidered face. And on top of it she ´accessorized it´ with a man on a pope disguise. And like Joan River`s said: "Little Red Hooker" Knowing how Nicki is this can be clearly stated.

 Obviously this has cause a lot of controversy and confussion, more with the Catholics. And left some people wondering: has she found a religion, or pure ´look at me!´? Nevertheless the cape was magnificent! It was one of my favorite, but at the same time it kind of reminded me of an Alexander Macqueen that once I saw.

They have almost the same color, but while Nicki`s tend to be more of an expensive disguise, this one looks more vintage romantic.

(No offense made to the Versace couture house.)

I bet there were people wishing that Minaj`s Medusa had turned them into stone!

Why?

Because:She may not have walked away with an award for the mantlepiece last night, but Nicki Minaj certainly stole the show at the Grammy Awards with a jaw-dropping performance.

As if simply performing it wasn`t enough! She (or her alter demonic ego: Roman) confessed, and melt down; then endure an exorrcism and levitated in mid-air.

Nicki Minaj performance was really  mind-blowing!

But ofcourse Duh! it had to be, where else do you see a pope dancing?

The singer immediately came to its ( performace) defense and revealed to Access Hollywood that her single "Roman Holiday" is actually more than just a song - it's part of a movie that she's creating.

Minaj explained, “I made a movie — it’s called, Roman Holiday… and in that movie, this is what happens to that Roman character. So, I had to paint the picture. I can’t do a song like that and stand up there with a microphone and a band behind me – I have to paint the picture and I’m gonna always do that to the fullest."

This movie was inspired by the 1900s Exorcist movie, so that kind of gives an idea of how the movie might be. So, how going to rush and see it?

Super Glue Experience

One of my worst nightmares!

This week I learned something very obvious: why we call super glue, well super glue. It is a rather dumb story that which I`m about to write, but whatever here it goes!
 I was repairing my earing, it has a zipper on it, but I don`t know how, it felt and it no longer looked aesthetically pleasing for me, so I rumage around the house for normal glue, but my mother told me that I`ll never repaired it that way; so she gave me the SUPPER GLUE! and left.

I as the good girl that I am took it to my room and try to squeez the glue out, but alas no luck, so I squeeze harder and puaj! Super glue eruption! It got on my desk, on the eraing and last but not least, on my hands. Like any normal person I stared at it and thought I`m in trouble, so I try to get it off they way you get normal glue off, bad idea! I just manage to smeer it all over my hand, so I calmed down and wait for it to dry (it got white and I thought: Eww) So I went online and (undeniably) found help. the fist two items were/are useless; this is why:

1. Soak the skin in warm soapy water as soon as possible. Water does not get warm fast so it is a waste of time and water. (Fish need it!)
2. Use an acetone nail polish remover. I ruined my nail, and it takes a lot of time, and acetone, so bad idea wate of money.
3. Let the glue (of DOOM) dry and use a nail file to remove the glue. I try with both, the soft and the hard edge, and a bit, just a tiny little bit was rubbed off. (Again) Bad idea, waste of nail file, and bad exfoliation.
4. Peel it out, once it is dry. Horrible idea, I thought I was skinning myself! This method cause mental trauma.
5. Scrub it out with a pumice stone! I found out that this was an excellent method. All you have to do is put wet pumice and the affected area on warm water and scrub the dry glue off.

Hoping that someone out there gets super glue on his/her skin, finds this article and use it to his/her favor. Writing that phrase because I feel like, though I don`t wish it to anybody out there on the wild! I believe in karma.

I was watching the movie, 88 minutes, and they play that song over the end title, I liked it so I post it. Lisen to the rythm, enjoy.

Gulliver`s Travel Summary, Part 1

After surviving a shipwreck Gulliver-a surgeon-finds himself on a desert beach, but upon some thinking he discovers that he is all tied up; even his hair.(This island is called Lilliput, inhabited by Lillyputians. They are smaller, about six inches tall. In comparison to Gulliver.)
 Gulliver struggles to get loose and finally succeeds in breaking the strings binding his left arm. He loosens the ropes tying his hair so he can turn to the left. In response, the little people fire a volley of arrows into his hand and violently attack his body and face. He decides that the safest thing to do is to lie still until nightfall. The noise increases as the little people build a stage next to Gulliver about a foot and a half off the ground. One of them climbs onto it and makes a speech in a language that Gulliver does not understand.
 Gulliver indicates that he is hungry, and the little people bring him baskets of meat. He devours it all and then shows that he is thirsty, so they bring him two large barrels of wine. Then the lillyputians lossened his bond so he can urinate. Gulliver is tempted to pick up forty or fifty of the little people and throw them against the ground, but he decides that he has made them a promise of goodwill and is grateful for their hospitality. He is also struck by their bravery, since they climb onto his body despite his great size.
 An official climbs onto Gulliver’s body and tells him that he is to be carried to the capital city, he previously asked to be free, but it was deny.
 The emperor decides to entertain Gulliver by showing him a tradition of the court in which candidates for an open position of honor compete by walking to the middle of a string or tight-rope that is suspended two-and-a-half feet above the ground. They jump as high as they are able. "Whoever jumps the highest without falling succeeds in the Office." Gulliver tells the reader that very often these competitors are injured or fall to their death.
 So some time pass and he comes to be trusted by the king, and one day the Secretary of Inland Security (sort off)-Redresal-He tells Gulliver that two forces, one rebel group and one foreign empire, threaten the kingdom. The rebel group exists because the kingdom is divided into two factions, called Tramecksan and Slamecksan. The people in the two factions are distinguished by the heights of their heels.
Reldresal tells Gulliver that the current emperor has chosen to employ primarily the low-heeled Slamecksan in his administration. He adds that the emperor himself has lower heels than all of his officials but that his heir has one heel higher than the other, which makes him walk unevenly. At the same time, the Lilliputians fear an invasion from the Island of Blefuscu, which Reldresal calls the “Other Great Empire of the Universe.” He adds that the philosophers of Lilliput do not believe Gulliver’s claim that there are other countries in the world inhabited by other people of his size, preferring to think that Gulliver dropped from the moon or a star.
Reldresal describes the history of the two nations. The conflict between them, he tells Gulliver, began years ago, when the emperor’s grandfather, then in command of the country, commanded all Lilliputians to break their eggs on the small end first. He made this decision after breaking an egg in the old way, large end first, and cutting his finger. The people resented the law, and six rebellions were started in protest. The monarchs of Blefuscu fueled these rebellions, and when they were over the rebels fled to that country to seek refuge. Eleven thousand people chose death rather than submit to the law. Many books were written on the controversy, but books written by the Big-Endians were banned in Lilliput. The government of Blefuscu accused the Lilliputians of disobeying their religious doctrine, the Brundrecral, by breaking their eggs at the small end. The Lilliputians argued that the doctrine reads, “That all true believers shall break their eggs at the convenient end,” which could be interpreted as the small end.

This is the fist and oficial post of this blog, and I`ll used it to explain it. First of all: there is no defined topic (no barriers!!), it will about everything that we can come to think about. So there will be something for everyone and you can either like it or not, your choice.
Second, (like the drawing) I`ll post whenever I feel like and about whatever I feel like! And just be warned: most of the time it won`t make sence.
