Setting itself apart from thousands of other documentaries handling the same problem, Our Daily Bread dives with the  audience into a passive and well planed documentation of the development of food in the developed countries around Europe. And it does without muttering a single word.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Geyhalter chooses a more daring method to deliver the message, alienating his work from the harsh data throwing Discovery Channel has us used to. And it does with the aid of a magnificent photography and the plain and sterile sounds of the industry of food. The director even introduces us to some of the people involved in the process, the hands that still in a way continue to work on the industry, and he does this not by interviewing them, but by letting us stare into their work and their food, what do they eat, because they have to eat right? Which rises the question, what do one eats when one's cutting cows and breeding chickens by the millions? What do they think, we do not know, but we can see at all and all they are still humans inside this big machine.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;It's a daring project, but I would dare to say that it works perfectly as it does leaves it entirely to the audience to process what is happening in front of them, it allows us to think patiently on how it all works and where do our food come from, without pointing suspects or delivering conclusions. It's just there, laying on the plate, ready for us to digest it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-6520262618415421109?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/6520262618415421109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=6520262618415421109&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/6520262618415421109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/6520262618415421109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2011/06/our-daily-bread-unser-taglich-brot.html' title='Our Daily Bread (Unser täglich Brot)'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/5wVXZKLlKQs/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-2955023180633088561</id><published>2010-09-13T01:29:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-13T01:30:32.038+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spanish'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poem'/><title type='text'>Pisando, pisando.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Sois el himno de la madre,  que canta el hombre en hermandad.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sois el alma del lucero,  destello grave de la soledad.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sois el arma de la guerra,  grito mudo en la oscuridad. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-2955023180633088561?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/2955023180633088561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=2955023180633088561&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/2955023180633088561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/2955023180633088561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2010/09/pisando-pisando.html' title='Pisando, pisando.'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-4885896295343441752</id><published>2010-09-03T11:42:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-03T12:20:42.908+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pandas'/><title type='text'>Pandas in the sky</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I have a friend that by some strange reason has a huge fixation with pandas, she loves them. And what's not to love? They are huge, furry and hugable, or at least they seem like all bears, from a safe distance. The thing with pandas is that you probably don't need &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28554008/"&gt;a safe distance&lt;/a&gt; right? They are so cute!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Either way, a couple of years ago this friend inspired a few panda drawings all spread over my school notebooks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v311/152/66/546455844/n546455844_1771460_2754.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Higher education.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;At the end she inspired a new panda, which I now uploaded into a motive for a &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/'%3Cimg" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v311/152/66/546455844/n546455844_1771460_2754.jpg"&gt;t-shirt&lt;/a&gt;, because we all want a panda on our clothes, even though they can be a bit &lt;a href="http://jotman.blogspot.com/2008/11/man-bites-panda.html"&gt;agressive&lt;/a&gt; from time to time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spreadshirt.no/lag-din-egen-t-skjorte-C59/design/12462922/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://image.spreadshirt.net/image-server/image/design/12462922/type/png/width/190/height/190" alt=" Paaandaaaw" title="Paaandaaaw" style="width:190px; border:0px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spreadshirt.net/" target="_blank"&gt;Spreadshirt Markedsplass motiv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spreadshirt.no/lag-din-egen-t-skjorte-C59/design/12462922/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paaandaaaw&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I strongly believe pandas turn agressive due to a temporary state of chinese hypnosis. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-4885896295343441752?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.spreadshirt.no/user/tor-sven' title='Pandas in the sky'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/4885896295343441752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=4885896295343441752&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/4885896295343441752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/4885896295343441752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2010/09/pandas-in-sky.html' title='Pandas in the sky'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-3897350282933293325</id><published>2010-09-02T09:04:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-02T09:43:27.540+02:00</updated><title type='text'>All new Tor-Sven.com</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I was told I was being awfully creative with &lt;a href="http://www.tor-sven.com"&gt;my domain name&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So I've been working a bit, actually a lot, in the last couple of weeks trying to get my web site ready, it all came as an idea I had a couple of years ago when I started learning a bit about webdesing, but it never really materialized into something useful. At the end I only ended up with a so-so portfolio which after a few job interviews handing an usb-memory stick to the client became rather impractical. So I thought that a website would be a more practical and presentable way to introduce &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/torsvenis"&gt;me&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/torsven/"&gt;my work&lt;/a&gt;, that way at least they'll have an idea of what to expect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So I set to work on during the summer, which wasn't a very good idea to start with, but I managed to at least get a layout of how I wanted the site to be, after that it was just a matter of puting everything on the table and crack my head open with code language and syntax problems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now the website was supposed to be ready yesterday, but in a classic "Murphy's Law" situation the hosting takes about 24 hours to grant me any access to the server. Well at least I saved about $2.-. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That said, I did managed to finish the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaflDy7vaRs"&gt;Demo Reel&lt;/a&gt; I was puting up for the site, and I also did managed to uploaded to &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TorSven"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;, now don't be discouraged by it, I won't be embedding any YouTubes on my site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie"

(sort of)</title><content type='html'>Well a few months ago a dutch artist contacted me asking for permission to paint one of the pictures based on a painting that I have on my &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/torsven"&gt;Flickr site&lt;/a&gt;. The picture was one we tok last year as our illumination exam, the task was to emulate a painting as closely as possible, the picture was La Mort de Marat by french painter Jacques-Louis David.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/torsven/3686286600/" title="La Mort de Marat by Tostito Verde, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3686286600_7ddfcf53e6_m.jpg" alt="La Mort de Marat" width="192" height="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This is our version.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Martin (that is the artist) contacted me asking if it was possible to reproduce this picture as part of his project 'At the Museum'. As he explains the project, he paints his dreams (calling them dream photos), and this time he dreamed being at the museum where all the paintings came to live, so he started painting pictures based on paintings to complete the collection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can see some of Martin's work &lt;a href="http://www.kunststukken.nl/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://martineijmans.nl/kunststukken2/upload/3_1_54l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="http://martineijmans.nl/kunststukken2/upload/3_1_54l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This is Martin's version.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;And &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Marat"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;is some info on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Marat"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La Mort de Marat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Death_of_Marat_by_David.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 240px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Death_of_Marat_by_David.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;David's original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-7745016839815579312?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/7745016839815579312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=7745016839815579312&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/7745016839815579312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/7745016839815579312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-got-published-again-sort-of.html' title='I got published again!!

Så med det i tanken jeg bestemt meg til å ta meg en tur i byen og tok bilder av folk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Men på den inspirerende ekspedisjon husket jeg at jeg hadde flere karakterene på lag, problemet er at de er så mange og koblet til flere historier at det er tryggere å bare kommer opp med en ny en. På den andre siden så er tidligere karakterene mine alt for realistisk for å passe den "toony" utseende oppgaven krever. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/S40dYMt4vkI/AAAAAAAAAG0/yDjeWrDsrsI/s1600-h/Berge_TorSven_Brg_2010_oblig3_collage_02.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Only this morning I was walking happily (intoxicated that is) to the school, and the horrid sound of a bell that barely (and I do mean barely) passed through my head-set protection from the idiotic rest of the world. I reacted as any common person should react ... I jumped, the problem was ... where should I jump? My instinct (and driving skills) told me to jump right, but a reaction that may work with cars, with bicycles is another thing, because with cyclists you never know, they may go right, they may go left or they, as it happened in Switzerland, just jump down the bike and walk pass you just to make the point that your big walking ass is too dumb to move. "You made me get off my bike you stupid walking thing!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, although annoying as they may, a bike may just want to bash your brains (or theirs) in the pavement for a few seconds, the side road walking menace is (gasp!) the slow (oh so slow) pedestrian. And there are two kinds of them, the ones that just walk slow (old ladies, fat people) and are incredibly difficult to pass by. And there's the other kind, the ones that are, not only slow, but they also seem to have absolutely no sense of direction what so ever. Those deserve every bit of hatred from my little self, because they make it so difficult to actually pass by since they keep walking in an erratic way and seem to be unaware of the world (or people) around them, making sudden stops on the way and looking around stopping all the traffic, it seems as if they do it on purpose!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/torsven/1557515634/" title="Marcelo Usera by Tostito Verde, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2102/1557515634_7c78a28404.jpg" alt="Marcelo Usera" width="500" height="333" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-1065811666929342586?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/1065811666929342586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=1065811666929342586&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/1065811666929342586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/1065811666929342586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2010/02/bicycles-vs-slow-pedestrians.html' title='Bicycles vs Slow Pedestrians'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2102/1557515634_7c78a28404_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-7282422813671521782</id><published>2010-02-15T04:34:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-15T04:42:18.143+01:00</updated><title type='text'>El Alex</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/S3jCjGCKvMI/AAAAAAAAAGM/Alomi2pVYDw/s1600-h/15022010028.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

type='text'>Goldberg Maskin</title><content type='html'>&lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;I 1930 Rube Goldberg, amerikansk (bl.a.) avistegner, fikk oppmerksomhet ikke bare for sine politiske tenger, men for det som etterhvert ble kjent som «Rube Goldberg Machine», inspirert på sine «mange humoristiske tegninger av overkompliserte innrettninger som utfører enkle oppgaver.»&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;En Goldberg Maskin er rett og slett det, en overkomplisert mekanisme som utfører en enkel oppgave. Termen ble også brukt, siden 1931 av den Merriam-Webster ordbok, som en adjektiv til å definere det å utføre enkle oppgaver med komplekse metoder.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Dette har inspirert en god del personer verden rundt til å bygge maskiner basert på Goldbergs sine tegninger, og på den måte presentere forskjellige skjedereaksjoner eller domino-effekt basert apparater som skal til slutt gjennomføre en så enkel oppgave som å skru på TV eller litt mer komplisert en, som å lage appelsin juice. Da, siden 1987, har Purdue University i Indiana (USA) arrangert den «Rube Goldberg Machine Contest» hvor de innby ingeniør studenter fra heile landet til å delta med en maskin som kan klare å utføre en oppgave uten feil, med de mest mulige steg gjennom prossesen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oppgaven&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;2. obligatorisk oppgave er å planlegge, modellere og animere, en Rube Goldberg Maskin som skal, i tillegg til å utføre en enkel oppgave, den må også inneholde en miljø vennlig opplysning, i en kortfilm mellom halv og en og en halv minutt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Synopsis&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Alt begynner med en ringetone, og en mobilen som ladder seg alt for nær til kanten, men hva skjer når den mobilen faller og sin egen vekt gjør han til å koble seg av og aktivere en maskin som kommer til å sende rundt en batteri og et par kuller gjennom en komplisert system som skal til slutt slå av en TV som ingen ser og den høy beat fra høy-taller men sine sterk bass som holder Jorden selv til å falle gjennom en oksygen maske som skal katapultere kloden mot en knapp som skal slå alle lyser av, og i mørket visse frem hvorfor er det viktig å skru av elektroniker.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Planlegging&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Pre-produksjon/Modellering : uke 49  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="nb-NO" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Animering/Rendering: uke 50, mandag 7. des skal alle elementer ferdig modellert.

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;What happens when you piss the shit out of an ex Marine pensioner? You get Michael Caine unleashing hell into the violent hearts of the gangs in London, as Harry “put-a-bullet-in-your-head” Brown, and by Jehova he's pissed! Brit Daniel Barber brings us the story of a pensioner, who like many other elders, has to deal with surviving in this world while life pretty much runs it's curse and he starts to get lonlier, his only attachment, fellow pensioner and friend Leny. But this story of good ol' chaps playing chess in the pub is not meant to get any better, since the director does introduce us int a very interesting and never the less shocking fashion, to the actual problem, the gangs, teenagers who dwell under the dark coverage of an underground pedestrian passage, from where they trade violence, sex and drugs. Mobbed to the extreme by this youngsters brings Leny to the edge and gets the poor old man violently killed. Faced with police's inability to solve the case Mr. Browns training kicks in, and he becomes a blood thirsty seventy something vigilante.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;I read somewhere that this storyline was very similar to Eastwood's Gran Torino, now I haven't seen Gran Torino, so ... I wouldn't know, but what I do know is that even though the story may seem a bit dumb, Caine's performance takes the show away, turning his character from cute old grandfather to bloody killer in a blink of an eye, scary.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;So if you like police dramas and always wanted Alfred to kick some ass, Harry Brown's for you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;DAS WEISSE BAND (The White Ribbon)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2aaapMYGBJs&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2aaapMYGBJs&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Winner of the Palm d'Or in Cannes, The White Ribbon allows the audience into a first hand experience into the mysteries of a small town in pre-First World War Germany. The story, narrated by the town's teacher, slowly revolts around the town youngsters making special remark on their education, on their relationship with the adults that are, by the moment more concerned with their own safety as a series of crimes and “accidents” occur in the village. At the center of it all is the priest and his family, from which the two elderly children (close to their confirmation date) are forced to wear a white ribbon as a reminder of their bad behaviour and the purity they must pursue.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Beautifully filmed, the movie presents the audience with the questions about raising our children and as for last century's culture and morals, and even more, it reminds us that it was this generation and the one that followed who slowly sank the world into the biggest wars in human history. Just as Louise Malle in &lt;i&gt;Der Junge Törless&lt;/i&gt;, Michael Haneke may as well be called into the lines of the Oberhausen Manifesto, breaking a few of it laws of course.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR PARNASUS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OFxqw0jbC2Y&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OFxqw0jbC2Y&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Ever since Heath Ledger's dead last year, there has been a continuous fuss about this movie, his last project left incomplete with Terry Gillian left to fill in the blank with the collaboration of actors Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;The movie itself is pretty Gillian like, throwing crazy images and effects into an interesting mix, throw in some magic, a devilish character and a Faustian story brought down a few notches for the families appreciation, and you have Dr. Parnasus. It is indeed an entertaining movie filled with no so many mysteries around the “mysterious character” (Ledger), the story is unavoidably predictable, and it relies more on the visual than the strength of story itself, or the characters for that matter.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;I don't know if the movie could have been better if Ledger hadn't died, but all things considered, you do what you have to do for the movies sake, that's what a director must deal with.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I'M GOING TO EXPLODE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SeKm16TFYIo&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SeKm16TFYIo&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Another Mexican production, supported by the joint efforts of Gael Garcia and Diego Luna's production company. Written and directed by Gerardo Naranjo, I'm Going to Explode shows crazy and out of the ordinary life of two teenagers in the city of Guanajuato. Maru and Roman meet each other and they quickly fall in love thanks to the search of identity of the first and the daring attitude of the second. Both united against the status quo, one raised in Mexico's middle class and the other surviver of the political upper class, they challenge the authority and bring their parents into a wild goose chase when they decide to disappear and find their own way in a world that goes pretty much against their free spirit. All in the name of love, just like Bonnie &amp;amp; Clyde.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;A special applause to cinematographer Tobias Datum and his beautiful approach to the love between these two teens.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;DEFAMATION&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pJo7LhSPJaY&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pJo7LhSPJaY&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;What is antisemitism? Is there any antisemitism today? Is it? Where? Who? How? Israely director Yoav Shamir strikes with the question of what is considered antisemitism today, what is this supposed jew hatred that seems to be a continuous threat to the Jewish community around the world, and he asks this questions because, as a jew, he has never heard or lived any actual case of antisemitism. Is it a myth then? Or a political tool meant to maintain Israels' interests around the world. This documentary shows a search for understanding the roots of antisemitism fear today, it follows the lines of the Anti Defamation League, a million dollar foundation that seeks to fight against antisemitism, it follows also the “spiritual”  journey of a group of students sent to Polland in order to learn more about the Holocaust, and it is scary to see where are their young minds taken, what are they meant to believe.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;On the other hand the documentary also shows the other side of the picture, the same jews claiming antisemitism to be a thing of the past, that there is no hope for peace in the region if Jews do not accept that the world wants to destroy them, that they should not hide behind this “cape of suffering”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Strongly recommended to learn about the complexity of the situation, to learn about antisemitism itself.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;MARY AND MAX&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MgRjB8PEDkM&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MgRjB8PEDkM&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Joy is found in small things, and real joy is found in real friendship, even if it's from far away. This Australian animation film shows us the brownish world of Mary a shy little girl with a ton of baggage and the same amount of dreams, who by chance decides to intiate contact with an schizophrenic new yorker who doesn't dare to get out of his apartment. Slowly in between chocolate and small gifts their friendship grows up over the years, with it's ups and it's downs but at the end showing us that true friendship can come from the most unusual places on Earth.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Time to reach for those friends abroad perhaps?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;EYES WIDE OPEN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dnKfBvlZAcM&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dnKfBvlZAcM&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;I left the movie after about an hour, so I won't say a lot about this one. But before that, no I did not leave the movie because it was boring or bad, I did because I had a schedule problem. That said, Eyes Wide Shut is an Israeli film that deals with the love relationship between an older and married man, with his younger and new employee, inside the orthodox jew community. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;I can't really say more about this movie since that's where I left it, but it seems like an interesting dilemma to be dealt with and I just hope the director did manage to work the story into the audience, in my case I left it for another movie :P.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SHOOTING ROBERT KING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r3o0X7aFCfM&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r3o0X7aFCfM&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Ever since I was a little boy I was fascinated with war photographers, I remember the shocking image I saw on the TV during the conflict in Bosnia, a cameraman whose camera got shot by a sniper rifle, and it slowly crumbled out of his hands as he ran for his life. Now you may think I am insane, but there was something appealing about that. Then as I started my studies at the university I got more interested in photography, and its application for journalism, it wasn't until I saw James Nachtway's pictures and specially Mikael Evstafiev's picture of Sarajevo's Opera House that I got even more interested in war photography.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Hence Richard Parry's documentary about the evolution of young photographer Robert King and his life inside some of the most important conflicts of our generation, became a must see. The movie, which took 15 years to make, shows indeed an evolution of this idealist young man who got himself into a war zone in order to survive as a freelance photographer, and who slowly turns into this “war veteran” a professional war photographer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SIN NOMBRE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-REjCK-VW6Y&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-REjCK-VW6Y&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Much is said about the Mexicans crossing over to the US, but not really that much is said about the Southamericans getting through Mexico in order to get to the US. It is a dangerous journey, because they not only have to illegally get into Mexico, but they have to deal with corrupted authorities, mafias, and violent gangs, one of whose name resounds through all of Latin America, La Mara Salvatrucha.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Sin Nombre follows this path, it weaves the stories of Caspar, a Mara member, and Sayra, a Honduran teenager who starts the odyssey into the US with her father and uncle.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;More than a conventional love story between bad-boy and naive-girl, the film casts light into a more accurate portrait of the challenges presented by immigrants in their pursue of the “American Dream”, and in order to do that they will have to go through hell, and the Devil is at it's doors.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;STELLA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xMORkFs-EpA&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xMORkFs-EpA&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Stella's world is not a magical one, in fact it is very real, and it shows us first hand how is it for a pre-teen girl to try to fit in into a world that, well, really doesn't want her to fit in at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-1628648733508934671?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/1628648733508934671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=1628648733508934671&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/1628648733508934671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/1628648733508934671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2009/10/more-from-biff.html' title='More from BIFF'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-2804765934433006638</id><published>2009-10-29T17:11:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-29T20:09:20.672+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='500 Days of Summer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BIFF'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daniel and Ana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='9'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bergen International Film Festival'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Art and Copy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Food Inc.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='A Serious Man'/><title type='text'>BIFF (Bergen International Film Festival)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/Sum_07BzxgI/AAAAAAAAADs/G0R_fPkGUEo/s1600-h/biff.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

So I took to the task to get the program read it and eventually pick something out the 129 films that were to be showed in Bergen's Cinema and the Cinematec. I ended up with a pick of 24 films which I pretended to see in between 6 days of school and gym, I must say, it wasn't the healthiest week ever.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;But at the end, even though the non-avoidable technical and logistical failures, I enjoyed each and everyone of the handpicked films, which I may describe right now.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;A SERIOUS MAN&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tcUTv3LH3ss&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tcUTv3LH3ss&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Oh dear, oh dear, The Coens are back, and this time the two-headed monster brings us a sneak peek into the slowly crumbling life of Larry Glopnik, a jew college teacher who is in search of a little guidance from the locar rabbi, when his wife decides to leave him and pretends to get married with another man. This a few days away from his teenage-pot-smoking son's bar-mitzva, while his also teenager daughter steals money from his wallet in order to get a nose job, not to mention the addition of his sick-gambling-and-also-genius brother to the already dysfunctional family. Very much in the Coens comedy style the movie introduces a wide set of particular characters with more flaws than your average human being, and seemingly able to get into the most ridiculous, yet very real, situations.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;I'm not going to go very much around this movie since for instance we are introduced to a world hardly understandable for you average goy, and pointing the fact that the first minutes where in Hebrew, and we lacked the sufficient subtitles, the film came indeed to a very very unexplainable ending.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;9&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tcUTv3LH3ss&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mDH0e73_j8M&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mDH0e73_j8M&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Burton-Bekmambetov holding Shane Acker's back with this post-apocaliptic tale of not surviving humans, but toys? Stuffed robots? Given the “dark arts” background of the story I would call the 9 characters homunculus, as in for the supposedly alchemy that brings them alive. We are then put in a world were apparently Second World War went pretty wrong and it ended up in a man against machine war, where of course, machines won. The story as little original as it may seem, is indeed pretty straight forward, it does not introduce a “the One” character, as a matter of fact we only have the new guy (9) learning the steps of an already started revolution, he is just filling the gaps. So even though the background story may seem weak, the storyline really does manage to keep the audience entertained. It really doesn't add anything to the common storytelling but it mixes it so that it doesn't get tiresome. All in all it's a fun and entertaining movie.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;500 DAYS OF SUMMER&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tcUTv3LH3ss&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PsD0NpFSADM&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PsD0NpFSADM&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Nowadays you can't really get your heart broken without anything reminding you of how love's supposed to go ... but it really doesn't, and mostly they are either love songs, tv series and love comedies. And by &lt;add&gt; I hate love comedies, specially the american-pink-tainted-sweet-pucking-failures that give us the same dumb stuff over and over again. So with that in mind I intended NOT to see this movie, until I got my heart broken, and a friend just wouldn't stop bitching about it. So I decided to give it a chance, and by &lt;add&gt; I was impressed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;“This is not a story about a boy meets a girl” says a dark deep voice at the start of the movie, as he introduces us to the two main characters, there's Tom and there's Summer, and even though Tom does meet Summer, things don't go so great, at least not in the usual romantic comedy style, and that is great. So we are delivered with story of how fortunate and eventually unfortunate can love be, how we try to deal with something that is beyond our comprehension, but that we have to deal with anyway, 500 days of Summer does get you and reminds you of how crappy the whole thing is, it feels real, it feels close to the audience.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;ART &amp;amp; COPY&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hLfvmiB4edI&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hLfvmiB4edI&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Advertisement, what can you say about it? What can't you say? It is all over the place, and you just can't deny it, as director Doug Pray said “you don't see advertisement, because you don't have a tv, or listen to the radio, or ... live”. Advertisement is indeed there and what Art &amp;amp; Copy present us with is an insight into the industry behind it, the movers and indeed, the shakers. More than a boring documentary throwing facts, the movie focuses more into the creative minds behind the business, and where does that creativity comes from, illustrating a more personal relation with those great minds behind all those adds we so easily recognize. A must see if you consider yourself a creative soul, it may give you that extra push you need to actually do something about it, you see we all seem to be in the same boat.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;CAPTURING REALITY: THE ART OF DOCUMENTARY&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/91mLqloTD6s&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/91mLqloTD6s&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Pepita Ferrani alongside with the National Film Board of Canada sat to the task to figure out “what makes a good documentary”. To find that answer they decided to interview several filmmakers so they would talk about their experiences doing some of the most recognized documentaries in the world, and share their wisdom with the viewer, expecting to be able to define the gender and bring more light into the art of documentary.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Get the whole experience visiting &lt;a href="http://films.nfb.ca/capturing-reality/"&gt;Capturing Reality's Website&lt;/a&gt;, where you can watch all of the interviews featured on the film, and more.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;DANIEL &amp;amp; ANA (video is in spanish, sorry, but your brain can do up to 2 million calculations, use it and learn a language)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pD38Yv7of4M&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pD38Yv7of4M&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;One of the three Mexican movies featured on the festival, Daniel &amp;amp; Ana tells the story of two siblings brought to the most extreme of experiences, when they are kidnapped and forced to have sex with each other. Although technically speaking the director does try to make the shocking announcement in the story, long and open takes, barely any sound, forcing the inconformity of the characters to the audience, yet it seems wrongly managed, since during the first minutes the director, Michel Franco, fails to create a credible brother-sister relationship between the two actors, relationship that he indeed manages to explore in a more psychological level right after the dreadful event, it is then that the movie gains class and takes us to a scary and dark corner in the human mind, just as a scary and dark corner of the Mexican society the movie tries to bring to the light, that of the clandestine pornography.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;FOOD INC.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MhPfPyuIb84&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MhPfPyuIb84&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;“Ol' McDonald had a farm” ... and along came the Food Industry and took it away just to turn it into an assembly line, just like the one that makes your car, the only problem is that this is no car, this is food, this is what makes us human beings keep going, this is what keep us alive.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;This documentary film, made by the same people that showed the world where American food comes from, throws a serious spotlight onto the ever growing food industry and how it has managed to burn millions of dollars defending the right to experiment and create new food products out of sick animals and grown in-vitro vegetables. They have shield themselves, but it is in the choice of the costumer to bring that fantasy ideal of a farm back to reality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;More to come ;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-2804765934433006638?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/2804765934433006638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=2804765934433006638&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/2804765934433006638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/2804765934433006638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2009/10/biff-bergen-international-film-festival.html' title='BIFF (Bergen International Film Festival)'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/Sum_07BzxgI/AAAAAAAAADs/G0R_fPkGUEo/s72-c/biff.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-6246044506765005960</id><published>2009-10-20T13:57:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-20T13:58:30.689+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/St2l4JNoh2I/AAAAAAAAADk/paVsFz1e0IM/s1600-h/orange+juice.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/St2l4JNoh2I/AAAAAAAAADk/paVsFz1e0IM/s400/orange+juice.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394650312624080738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-6246044506765005960?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/6246044506765005960/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=6246044506765005960&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/6246044506765005960'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/6246044506765005960'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2009/10/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/St2l4JNoh2I/AAAAAAAAADk/paVsFz1e0IM/s72-c/orange+juice.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-4407550125923877875</id><published>2009-10-16T18:22:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T18:25:46.175+02:00</updated><title type='text'>El Ranchero</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/Stid2yAU3yI/AAAAAAAAADc/k0GP68PRngs/s1600-h/old+man01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 251px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/Stid2yAU3yI/AAAAAAAAADc/k0GP68PRngs/s400/old+man01.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393234118237806370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quick sketch, this guy is how I picture the main character for my graphic novel, he's a man that ends up in a creepy town during the Mexican Revolution.

Real simple, "it all starts with a box" (accurate measurements people, those are important), the rest is connect and disconnect the edges so as to create the base for where all parts of the chair are attached. It's real simple, you only need to create 2 boxes, one taller than the other one, in order to bridge them across and voila! you have now half a chair. Just like coming home from Ikea you managed to make a part of it, now you only need to mirror that object and copy it so at is remains symmetrical (or use symmetry, whatever!). Now that you have your two parts its bridging across and you've gots a chair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cushion, was made with a shape drawn over the chair's base on Top View, that way you have a more accurate measurement for it. You will now make it into 3-d, I did it with Bevel so it gets closer to the form (from wide to narrow), next step was to Turbo-smooth the cushion and place it on top of the chair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/Srf_ktKkBZI/AAAAAAAAAC0/sM3YmlKQyKI/s1600-h/stolen.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/Srf_ktKkBZI/AAAAAAAAAC0/sM3YmlKQyKI/s400/stolen.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384052885608990098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-6296589972226727159?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/6296589972226727159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=6296589972226727159&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/6296589972226727159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/6296589972226727159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2009/09/bloody-chair.html' title='The bloody chair ...'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/Srf_ut25G5I/AAAAAAAAADE/3wleIDdzrC8/s72-c/stolen.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-5381816044821306015</id><published>2009-09-20T22:47:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-20T23:15:18.871+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrabOjVkOTI/AAAAAAAAACs/2LHnFMC_krM/s1600-h/hc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrabOjVkOTI/AAAAAAAAACs/2LHnFMC_krM/s400/hc.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383661078874175794" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've gots new &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/torsven"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; profile picture!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-5381816044821306015?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/5381816044821306015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=5381816044821306015&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/5381816044821306015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/5381816044821306015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2009/09/ive-gots-new-facebook-profile-picture.html' title=''/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrabOjVkOTI/AAAAAAAAACs/2LHnFMC_krM/s72-c/hc.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-1571384131646345485</id><published>2009-09-19T00:45:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-19T00:54:27.773+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day Everybody!!

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Interesting facts: &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Bergman wrote this masterpiece while he was in the hospital. It became Victor Sjöström's last movie, and in words of Berman himself, it ended up being more his movie "than mine".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;It premiered the same year as "Det sjunde inseglet" and counted with the participation of some of it's cast, like Gunnar Björnstrand, Gunnel Lindblom, Bibi Andersson and Max von Sydow. The director's assistant was actor Gösta Ekman (grandson of another famous swedish actor with the same name), he was just 18 years old.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;The poem that Isak Borg reads at the table is one of the verses from Johan Olof Wallins' psalm “Var är den vän, som överallt jag söker” (Where is that friend, whom I seek everywhere).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;The Swedish title “Smulstronstället” also makes reference to one of the houses occupied during the "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squatting"&gt;Husockupation&lt;/a&gt;" movement or squatting, in October 2008. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Synopsis:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Isak Borg is an elder medic and professor who decides to drive, alongside with Marianne, his daughter in law, from Stockholm to Lund, where he would receive a honorary title from Lund's University. During the journey, through various dreams, nightmares and his own senility, he seems forced to re-evaluate his life. So he meets a variety of characters on the road, from Sara, a backpacker girl who travels with her fiancé and her chaperon, to the troubled couple, that reminds Isak of his own life and marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crític:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;Smulstronstället is a beautiful movie that just as his earlier, or rather simultaneous movie, "Det sjunde inseglet", Bergman brings us the philosophical journey of a character in conflict. Curiously in the Seal's case, its about a young knight in search of a reason to die, to abandon this world. In Strawberries, it's not a young man but an old man in search for a reason lo live, as he seems witness to past events in his life, events in which Berman masters the audiovisual language to not only do without the oh so common flashbacks, but also to forge in the audience the solid idea that the character is indeed who he is now, and not disturbing this vision with any reference to his youth, in other words, Isak Borg is a grumpy old man that once was young, but he will never be it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;As in the Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries has in its narrative line the element of the journey, as a point of introspection an knowledge, also as a way in which to opposing characters may confront their differences in the limited space of a car. Bergman uses once more the personal encounter between strangers and the kindness of his characters, so we have that during the journey Isak meets a group of youngsters looking for a way to Italy, amongst them, a girl, Sara, identical to his first love. Then they meet a couple, conflictive, a dysfunctional and violent marriage. Couple that they decide to eliminate after a while, but that stays in Borg's subconscious and eventually become judges and executioners as his own marriage is set on trial. So the "secret life" of the main character in Wild Strawberries is not one from the underworld in which he has to gamble his life with Death itself, but one much more closer to him, his dreams and memories. Finally this journey ends up as a lesson to both character and audience, we see Isak's transformation from this grumpy old man, and slowly becoming a wise and caring person, who we could dare to see as the model for the perfect grandfather, because you cannot avoid falling in love with the man, just as the youngsters that traveled with him, or his daughter in law, who hated him so much, and now she sits on his bed and kisses him goodnight, because besides everything it's never too late to change and it's never too late to live life as it is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-1666232157848208341?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/1666232157848208341/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=1666232157848208341&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/1666232157848208341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/1666232157848208341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2009/09/smultronstallet.html' title='Smultronstället'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrKP_tyUFpI/AAAAAAAAACc/kxEujWdJniA/s72-c/Smultronst%C3%A4llet.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-129457171082771219</id><published>2009-09-17T12:56:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T13:03:46.068+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Batarrang 3-D</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrIXKJaNW-I/AAAAAAAAACM/k2HeJyqp_kg/s1600-h/batarrang.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrIXKJaNW-I/AAAAAAAAACM/k2HeJyqp_kg/s400/batarrang.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382389967753141218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week I made this picture of a "batarrang" in 3D Studio Max, this was one of my first try outs on the program.

I know now it is possible, one just have to be careful to save the .ai files into an earlier version of Illustrator so that 3Dmax can read the vertex.&lt;br /&gt;The rest is plain extrude and bevel so that the shape can be seen as a 3D object, eventually I added a texture that was downloaded from the net and applied it into the object.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrIXcGa_ErI/AAAAAAAAACU/IevJOuOQJ6M/s1600-h/howto_batman.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 138px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrIXcGa_ErI/AAAAAAAAACU/IevJOuOQJ6M/s320/howto_batman.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382390276188738226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-129457171082771219?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/129457171082771219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=129457171082771219&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/129457171082771219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/129457171082771219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2009/09/batarrang-3-d.html' title='Batarrang 3-D'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SrIXKJaNW-I/AAAAAAAAACM/k2HeJyqp_kg/s72-c/batarrang.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-4858219233260312693</id><published>2009-06-01T03:52:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-01T03:59:35.637+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Sunset Boulevard</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SiM1b6xRkKI/AAAAAAAAABc/qqa23fiG0qM/s1600-h/sunset.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SiM1b6xRkKI/AAAAAAAAABc/qqa23fiG0qM/s320/sunset.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342172336740208802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ficha Técnica&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Director: Billy Wider&lt;br /&gt;Argumento: Billy Wider, Charles Brackett&lt;br /&gt;Cast&lt;br /&gt;William Holden (Joe Gillis)&lt;br /&gt;Gloria Swanson (Norma Desmond)&lt;br /&gt;Erich von Stroheim (Max von Mayerling)&lt;br /&gt;Nancy Olson (Betty Schaefer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;País: EE.UU.A&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Compañía: Paramount Pictures&lt;br /&gt;Música: Franz Watman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Datos de interés:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Willian Haines, así como otros veteranos del cine mudo como Buster Keaton y Anna Q. Nilsson, le fue pedido que interpretaran uno de los compañeros de “bridge” de Gloria Swanson. Swanson personalmente hizo la solicitud que Haines rechazaría, y finalmente el papel sería para H.B. Warner.&lt;br /&gt;El personaje de William Holden (Joe Gillis) está basado en la persona de Eugene Walter un famoso escritor de Hollywood entre los años 20 y 30. Curiosamente residía en la Av. Franklin en los Departamentos Alto Nido, al igual que Gillis en la película.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El papel de Norma Desmond fue inicialmente ofrecido a; Mae West (quien lo rechazó), Mary Pickford (quién pedía demasiado control), y Pola Negro (quién también lo rechazó). Finalmente sería ofrecido a Gloria Swanson por sugerencia de George Cukor. Por otro lado, el papel de Joe Gillis fue ofrecido a Fred Mac Murray, luego de que Montgomery Clift rompiera su contrato. Incluso Marlon Brando fue considerado, pero los productores lo consideraban muy desconocido; Gene Kelly, pero no recibió permiso de MGM, y finalmente Wilder conoció a William Holden, con quien no estaba muy impresionado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los escritores, temiendo que Hollywood reaccionara desfavorablemente a una representación tan oscura de la industria, nombraron al proyecto 'A Can of Beans' durante la producción.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A pesar del hecho de que Erich von Stroheim interpreta a un mayordomo/chofer, él no sabía manejar en la vida real. Durante las escenas en las que manejó, el coche estaba siendo remolcado por otro. En la escena en la que maneja a Norma Desmond a Paramount, se rumora que chocó con la famosa entrada. De acuerdo al biógrafo de Wilder, Ed Sikov, esta historia fue probablemente una exageración de Billy Wilder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lo largo de la película se dan cameos de diferentes personajes de Hollywood como: Cecil B. DeMille, Hedda Hopper, H.B. Warner, Buster Keaton y  Anna Q. Nilsson.&lt;br /&gt;La película que DeMille aparece filmando era Sanson y Dalila de 1949.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunset Boulevard fue la última gran película en ser filmada con negativo de nitrato, negativos que han desaparecido por completo. Los únicos materiales existentes son interpositivos de 35 mm, los cuales fueron escaneados a 2000 líneas de resolución y electrónicamente restaurados para la reedición en DVD en 2002.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El nombre del personaje, Norma Desmond, es un acrónimo entre los nombres de estrellas del cine mudo; Norma Talmadge y el director William Desmond Taylor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En 1989, el Registro Nacional de Películas de la Biblioteca del Congreso seleccionó esta película como una de las 25 películas clave de todos los tiempos. En 1991, el American Film Institute la seleccionó como la número 21 de entre las 100 mejores películas americanas de todos los tiempos. En 2007 el mismo, la consideraría como la número 16 de las mejores películas de todos los tiempos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sinopsis:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe Gillis, un guionista venido a menos en Hollywood va a visitar a su jefe en la Paramount con un nuevo guión. La cosa no prospera y Gillis se queda sin su contrato. Los matones de un concesionario le persiguen para que pague su deuda con un coche y en la huida poncha una llanta y entra en una mansión abandonada. Gillis guarda su coche y cuando intenta entrar en la destartalada mansión, el mayordomo, Max von Mayerling le pide que pase, que la señora le está esperando, creyendo que es el encargado del ataúd de su recién difunto chimpancé. La señora, Norma Desmond, antigua estrella del cine mudo y ahora olvidada, obliga a Gillis a que lea un guión que ella ha escrito basado en "Salomé".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desmond le ofrece una enorme cantidad de dinero por ello, pues piensa que relanzará su carrera. Desmond obliga a Joe a quedarse en su mansión y progresivamente se va enamorando de él. Le compra ropas caras y le regala magnificas cosas. Pero Joe está verdaderamente enamorado de Betty Schaefer, una correctora de guiones de la Paramount. Desmond va a la Paramount para hablar con Cecil B. De Mille, sobre su proyecto de "Salomé", cosa que rechaza por ser muy malo el guión.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crítica:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Podría decirse que Sunset Boulevard es un extremadamente ambicioso proyecto del director Billy Wilder, que no sólo logró concretarse de una forma extraordinaria, si no que logró redefinir la percepción que se tenía de la industria en esa época. Trajo el drama cotidiano y la locura de las estrellas a la audiencia, tomó a aquellos grandes iconos del pasado y los bajó a nuestro nivel, mostrando no sólo lo frágil y delicada que es la fama, si no que también lo frágil y delicada que es la vida misma y cómo puede cambiar y dar un gran giro en circunstancias diversas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Con una impresionante narración, el director nos abre una ventana a un mundo tan conocido, pero a la vez tan lejano, nos permite una mirada al corazón de la industria que es Hollywood, corazón movido por el alma de la gente que lo conforma, corazón que como aquella vieja maquinaria es desechado para dar paso a la novedad aplastante de un cine que ahora no sólo se dedica a mostrar imágenes en movimiento y contar con ellas historias, si no que ahora se lanza a cautivar otro de los sentidos del ser humano, el oído.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;La película comienza de una manera muy convencional, pero a los pocos minutos, un narrador se hace presente y cambia por completo nuestra percepción de lo que está ocurriendo, comienza a contarnos una historia que ve más allá del escritor tratando de sobrevivir, si no que comienza a relatar el principio del fin para las grandes estrellas del pasado. Éste hombre, Joe Gillis, cae desde la más casual de las circunstancias en las garras de una solitaria mujer, que como la gran reina exiliada, añora tiempos mejores y critica la “vulgaridad” de las películas sonoras. Singular personaje que es Norma Desmond, hace su aparición en el velorio de un chimpancé, una muestra de su excentricidad, o quizá una dura metáfora del despiadado paso de la evolución y el tiempo. Interpretada magistralmente por Gloria Swanson, Desmond y su fiel mayordomo Max parecen llevar a la audiencia por un viaje express por el mundo de la época dorada del cine mudo, todo desde los rostros de ambos personajes, la expresividad de Desmond y la rigidez de Max, contrapuestos con los encantos del Joe Gillis de William Holden, quien entre su oportunismo y su lucha económica demuestra claramente al nuevo Hollywood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wilder termina por divorciar a ambos mundos, el de Desmond y el de Gillis, luego de presentarles una unión por conveniencia (de ambos). Gillis, finalmente harto de los caprichos de Desmond, termina por abandonarle, para ir con su “verdero amor”, la revisora de guiones Nancy Olson, una mujer más joven y crédula que pretende vivir “el sueño hollywoodense” de éxito. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Norma Desmond, con un corazón roto termina por aniquilar a Gillis, cuyo cuerpo cae a la piscina “que tanto deseaba”, así finaliza para Norma el Hollywood actual, el de Gillis, mientras que ella, en su decadencia se pierde entre el lugar que le pertenece, las estrellas. &lt;em&gt;"All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up."&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-4858219233260312693?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/4858219233260312693/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=4858219233260312693&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/4858219233260312693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/4858219233260312693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2009/05/sunset-boulevard.html' title='Sunset Boulevard'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/SiM1b6xRkKI/AAAAAAAAABc/qqa23fiG0qM/s72-c/sunset.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-8598074214776101772</id><published>2008-11-30T18:48:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-01T16:01:51.212+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Producciones Contemporáneas de Diseño: Pantalla Interactiva</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/STOoshjwTwI/AAAAAAAAABE/6IMLI8lXeMQ/s1600-h/proyecto02+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 232px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/STOoshjwTwI/AAAAAAAAABE/6IMLI8lXeMQ/s320/proyecto02+copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274745071457029890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Concepto:&lt;/span&gt; Publicidad Inteligente, crear una pantalla que funcione como un anuncio que atraiga la atención del consumidor y que, a detarminada distancia esta se active y, por medio de una cámara integrada al sistema, se muestre al espectador y consecuentemente se coloque una capa visual que le permita verse con la ropa que se anuncia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Localización:&lt;/span&gt; En paradas de autobuses, o centros comerciales a manera de anuncios electrónicos.

More than de actual political debate I have been a lot more interested lately in whatever I've found amongst anonymus writers all over the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the problem has been adressed in many ways, it has developed two different sides, those who believe global warming is an issue, and those who believe it's not (nothing new here), yet the interesting factor to these sides is that of the involvement of the media as to promoting global warming like an issue to be adressed inmediatly. Since global warming is a situation that has been all over people's mind as long as I can remember, it only came to a violent media explotion when former vicepresident of the United States and once a candidate for president, Al Gore presented his now polemical documentary “An Inconvinient Truth”, through this all the attention went on to the global warming and climate change issues, creating a whole lot of believers, and consecuently a whole lot of sceptics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This sudden interest on the climate fueled a massive media display, from concerts (like those of Live 8, a reformed Live AID), and a bunch of publications saying how this world is coming to an end. Now, given the actual nature of media itself, it will imediatly target the hot topic for people to see, and climate change is indeed a very hot topic. Yet this may seem for some people like unfair and tricky, since they have become aware that the media and journalists have indeed an agenda of their own, pinpointing only what is to be published and excluding the rest of the given “reality” or real issue; that is ofcourse nothing new, but the point is that those actions, good or bad that is not relevant to this article, have turned a lot of people into a more sceptic state regarding the human treath for it's own evironment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oddly enough I found the most sceptical opinions diverted into the web forums of newspapers in Europe, were some of the authors regarded the climate change as mainly, an exageration from the media. And the main arguments for this statement was that during previous decades have the climate issue been adressed in different situations, as for example, in the 70's scientists talked about a glaciar era to be entered in the year 2000 as for the massive amount of polution, so were also in other years, I remember in the 90's was the hole in the atmosphere a big concern among people, yet those ideas were in a way “forgoten” giving way to new ones, but all of them had something in common, they held the idea of the human being been so capable of transforming its evironment and eventually destroy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I understand the concern among the general population as they feel they are being lied to their faces, but have not things changed since the 70's?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand it is true that the mass media does have a tendency of fulfilling it's own agenda, and that is to make money, and this would give way to different ways to address the same issue, this being resulted in the believe or disbelieve of it's audience, who, as aware as they may seem are not entirely free from its grap, it is a fact that the mayority of people still truly believe everything that is portrayed in the media, and this apparent massive alientation may not be the result of a fight against hegemonism, but the result of another source of information itself. As I said, climate change is a polemical issue, that has had strong reactions among the scientific comunity aswell, even scientists seem to be at a crossroad regarding global warming.&lt;br /&gt;Yet from my point of view, there is a mayor difference in the climate and some may say it is caused due to a natural reaction of our planet itself, as it has been through a lot of climate changes, ice ages and so. But have these changes occured in such a short period of time? We must be aware of the influence we do have in our planet, the human being has successfully managed to eliminate entire species, something that would take natural selection millions of years. Yet we seem to neglect the fact that we are capable to changing our own enviorment. From my point of view climate change, and those issues regarding our own hability for destruction, are not being portrayed enough or correctly in the media, the fact that we still believe that the way we live our lifes have no real impact in our world is truly mistaken, and this may not only regard climate, but also social and political issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess that the bottom line is that no matter what we believe is to be true regarding climate change, it wouldn't hurt us to try and make this a better place for our children and for ourselves by reducing our energy consumption and gas emitions, who knows maybe there's the answer to a healthy world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/02_1/polarbrsDM010207_468x762.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/02_1/polarbrsDM010207_468x762.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-7644943428021052924?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/7644943428021052924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=7644943428021052924&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/7644943428021052924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/7644943428021052924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2007/12/climate-change-and-media.html' title='Climate Change and The Media'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-8144868470240635145</id><published>2007-03-09T07:58:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-03-09T08:27:57.514+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wrestling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lucha libre'/><title type='text'>MITOLOGÍAS: EL CATCH</title><content type='html'>El “catch”, o la “lucha libre” como le llamamos popularmente en México está rodeada por una serie de símbolos que son necesarios analizar, ya que en primera instancia, éste, más que ser un deporte, es un espectáculo “s&lt;i&gt;e representa en salas de segunda categoría donde el público espontáneamente se pone de acuerdo con la naturaleza espectacular del combate, como el público de un cine de barrio&lt;/i&gt;” (Barthes, 1957).&lt;br /&gt; Para analizar este espectáculo, tendremos que partir de las ideas irreductibles hacia las reductibles, y de lo perceptible o inteligible, hacia lo ininteligible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El Catch: Una Semiótica Connotativa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; El catch es connotativo, ya que su significante es a la vez una semiótica. ¿Por qué? Se puede percibir que el catch contiene un código cultural del que todos estamos concientes. Es evidente que se trata de un código social insertado y no de un código especializado. Cuando vemos al tipo vestido de negro con el contorno de una calavera en su traje de luchador, en seguida sabemos que es el villano de la historia, sobre todo porque el público quiere que sea de esta manera. Pero ¿por qué sabemos esto? Para poder entenderlo, tendremos que partir primero en planos más perceptibles e inteligibles. Los hemos dividido en cuatro:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La personalidad (Gimmick)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Lo primero que podemos notar en el catch o lucha libre es que hay ciertos personajes que juegan ciertos roles dentro de cada “batalla” en la que se enfrentan los luchadores “profesionales”.&lt;br /&gt; Por un lado tenemos a los “técnicos” dentro de lo que se encuentran los héroes (Octagón), los soldados (La Real Fuerza Aérea), los patriotas (Mexican Power), los “cool” (Los Barrio Boys), los que siguen las reglas y representan ideales positivos como el nacionalismo y el apoyo a las clases bajas; por eso agradan a la gente. Por otro, tenemos a los “rudos”, los antipatriotas, millonarios, narcisistas (La Universidad de los Guapos), traidores, delincuentes, seres del inframundo (La Secta Cibernética), fenómenos (Los Payasos). &lt;br /&gt; Las personalidades y la imagen que cada luchador construye ante el público, son las que determinan el rol que empleará dentro del combate. Cuando se ven reminiscencias hacia algún monstruo o algún símbolo cultural oscuro (como lo es la propia muerte, representado por una calavera), se sabe en seguida el rol que dará dentro del combate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El aspecto físico y la mímica&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las personalidades son explotadas en el aspecto físico para poder crear un tono amigable ante la gente, de tal manera que los de aspecto “agradable” sean los que el público quiera ver vencer y los de aspecto “desagradable” sean los que quiera ver perder. Cuando el público ve al hombre con capa (símbolo del superhéroe), aspecto físico agradable, en seguida nota que es un técnico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Los luchadores de Catch tienen un físico tan concluyente como los personajes de la Comedia Italiana, que pregonan de antemano, con su traje y sus actitudes, el contenido futuro de su papel. De la misma manera que Pantalón nunca puede ser más que un cornudo ridículo, Arlequín un criado astuto y el Doctor un pedante imbécil, Thauvin (ejemplo utilizado por Barthes) será el traidor innoble.&lt;/i&gt; (Barthes, 1957)&lt;br /&gt; La mímica es lo que termina de determinar el rol de cada luchador. Las llaves limpias, un fuerte apretón de manos con su compañero,  son las que establecen que un luchador sea técnico. Por el contrario, las llaves sucias, el frunce del ceño a la hora de entrar al cuadrilátero, el apretón de manos seco con su compañero, entre otras señales mímicas, decretan que un luchador sea rudo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los comportamientos exagerados&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Como se había mencionado antes, el catch no es más que un gran espectáculo. Un espectáculo que, como ya vimos, está marcado por roles, los cuales cumplen con ciertas formas de moverse y expresarse corporalmente. Pero también se puede notar que cada rol cumple con ciertas formas de comportamiento ante el público. Tenemos, de manera general, las reacciones ante el dolor o las reacciones ante una llave exitosa, por ejemplo. ¿Qué pasa cuando un luchador le aplica una dolorosa llave a su contrincante? Mientras el afectado por la llave, se queda tirado por un largo tiempo, el ejecutor de la llave pide ovaciones por parte del público por su logro. Esta situación se puede generalizar en que los comportamientos que se dan dentro del catch son exagerados. Y así como son exagerados, también son divisibles:&lt;br /&gt; El técnico normalmente se mueve dentro de la esfera de lo moral. La amistad exagerada, el compañerismo puritano, el seguimiento de las reglas, el comportamiento cortés ante el réferi. En cambio el rudo, es el que se comporta de manera contraria, el que hace las trampas, las traiciones, el compañerismo vago y seco, aquél que no sigue las reglas y se rebela contra al réferi por considerarlo monótono y correcto.&lt;br /&gt; Éstas quieren significar amplificaciones de sus máscaras, son una extensión de su aspecto físico, su vestimenta y la manera en que se expresan corporalmente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La batalla&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Y así como tenemos todas las características que determinan cada rol dentro de una batalla de lucha libre, también tenemos a los resultados de ésta, los cuales tan sólo son expresiones de un contenido basado en la lucha de contrarios, en la lucha constante del hombre contra el hombre.&lt;br /&gt; Tenemos a un vencedor, tenemos a un perdedor. Cuando el perdedor es el que el público quería que gane, entonces se genera una gran gama de sentimientos; la venganza, como la idea de “saldar cuentas”, la alegría del público por el golpe que se aplica con justicia, la humilación. El bien siempre tendrá que ganar, el mal siempre tendrá su castigo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;El catch para satisfacer pasiones&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Cada uno de estos planos se funden para dar lugar a un significado mayor, si se analizan cada uno de sus componentes, se puede llegar a la conclusión de que el catch se resume en un sistema de dramatización, así como el teatro, las corridas de toros y muchos otros espectáculos, que se basan en las pasiones del público. Se podría decir, a fin de cuentas, que el catch es utilizado para satisfacer las pasiones de la gente. El catch es así, porque la gente quiere que así sea. Los roles, la manera de expresarse corporalmente, las exageraciones en el comportamiento y la lucha entre contrarios son mecanismos cuadrados y planos para que de esta manera se espulguen las pasiones del público y se creen emociones inmediatas y no mediatas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Referencias&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barthes, Roland,&lt;i&gt; Mitologías&lt;/i&gt;, Editorial: Siglo XXI Editores, Pags. 13-24, 1957&lt;br /&gt;Rescatado de: http://www.triplea.com.mx/, 28/02/07&lt;br /&gt;Rescatado de: http://www.cmll.com/, 28/02/07&lt;br /&gt;Rescatado de: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling, 28/02/07&lt;br /&gt;Rescatado de: http://www.icwacatch.com/ , 28/02/07&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-8144868470240635145?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/8144868470240635145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=8144868470240635145&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/8144868470240635145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/8144868470240635145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2007/03/mitologas-el-catch.html' title='MITOLOGÍAS: EL CATCH'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-113426628315725275</id><published>2005-12-11T02:58:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-12-11T02:58:03.183+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Kåres Theory about the Non Canadians</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Kåre’s Theory about the Non-Canadians&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As the number of Canadians encountered in a journey trough Europe, was by far, superior to the number of Americans travelling at the same time. Kåre Farr states that all these Canadians are indeed an incredibly high and out of proportion population. Moreover, the fact that they outnumber the Americans made Kåre come to the theory that these people are actually not Canadians, but Americans disguised as Canadians.&lt;br/&gt;When asked for the purposes of these actions, Kåre assures that “Nobody would like to be recognized as an American nowadays”.&lt;br/&gt;Fact is that – and Kåre in his theory sustains – it can’t be that Canadians could be so nationalist and have their flag stamped all over them. The exaggerated number of flags (Canadian) that decorate one of the subjects makes you wonder, they are really trying too hard.&lt;br/&gt;This theory was confirmed, when studying a subject; Kåre noticed that he pulled out an American passport out of his “hidden-travel-bag”.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-113426628315725275?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/113426628315725275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=113426628315725275&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/113426628315725275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/113426628315725275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/12/kres-theory-about-non-canadians.html' title='Kåres Theory about the Non Canadians'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-113340137026893719</id><published>2005-12-01T02:42:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-12-01T02:42:51.496+01:00</updated><title type='text'>El Ensayo en Comunicación</title><content type='html'>El Ensayo en Comunicación&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;El ensayo es un texto que representa una síntesis de ideas respecto a un tema, concentradas dentro de una medida literaria que lo hacen fácil de comprender y al alcance de aquel espécimen extraño de la raza humana ajeno a las costumbres científicas. El ensayista es como si tomara una maraña de cables y la conectase a nuestro cerebro de una forma sutil y simple.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;La finalidad del ensayo es despertar el interés de la gente ante los temas de actualidad, y plantea una forma creativa e innovadora para exponerlos, puesto que cada ensayista presenta un estilo literario que le permite dominar la escena y mantener al lector aferrado al cúmulo de información que sostiene en sus manos.

Una de las tradiciones más hermosas que nos recuerdan la diversidad que tenemos en nuestro país es exactamente el festejo a los fieles difuntos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;En las fechas del 31 de octubre al 2 de noviembre se festeja en todo el país esta celebración en la cuál aquellos que nos han dejado visitan a los que seguimos presentes para gozar de las ofrendas ofrecidas en su nombre por aquellas personas cercanas al difunto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;Gracias a la gran variedad cultural que tenemos en nuestro país, las festividades de Día de Muertos se hace que la tierra mexicana se vista con colores y sabores diferentes y dignos de cada región. Una de las más reconocidas es la celebración del Hanal Pixán en la región sureste de nuestra tierra, el estado de Yucatán.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;Como muchas tradiciones en México, la celebración a los muertos representa una fuerte influencia española en cuanto al recuerdo de aquellas personas que pasaron a mejor vida se refiere. Por otro lado se tiene muy presente el legado prehispánico de los mayas, sin embargo dentro de los rituales de los antiguos habitantes de la península no existía una tradición de recordar a los familiares una vez que hubiesen partido. En realidad en el culto a la muerte de los mayas, no se contemplaba el recuerdo hacia los que ya no caminan por la vida, sin embargo como en muchas culturas, existía la fuerte creencia de un mundo ajeno al nuestro, una vida después de la muerte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;Entonces en el siglo XVII fue establecido en América el culto católico para conmemorar a todos los santos y mártires conocidos y desconocidos. Esta tradición, que posiblemente tiene sus fundamentos en un intento por sustituir una fiesta pagana desconocida, coincide en el Nuevo Mundo con la época de descanso entre la cosecha y la nueva siembra, la temporada de muerte de la naturaleza, el otoño.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;A pesar del intento del evangelizador español por sustraer las costumbres de los indígenas, muchas de ellas quedaron fundidas dentro del rito europeo de los visitantes, gracias a la fascinación prehispánica hacia el final de la existencia propia, los mayas terminaron por abrazar con fervor el ritual extranjero de de honrar a los finados y así aumentar sus tradiciones. Muestra de ello es la presencia de las ofrendas en el culto actual a la bella pelona. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;Las ofrendas con la comida y utensilios favoritos de la persona enterrada es una costumbre enteramente perteneciente a la cultura prehispánica de los mayas. Aunque no aceptadas en un principio, fueron finalmente permitidas en la liturgia católica una vez limpiadas de “paganismos”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;En la actualidad se mantienen las viejas costumbres del Hanal Pixán principalmente en las poblaciones más pequeñas y más alejadas de las ciudades. Una costumbre para las personas moribundas en las que la agonía se prolongaba demasiado, causada por la enorme cantidad de pecados cometidos, es que un miembro de la familia azote a la persona con una manta enrollada aligerando la carga de pecados y ayudándole a pasar a mejor vida. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;También se suele alejar del entorno del difunto las semillas de maíz, frijol, chile u otros cultivos, para evitar que se esterilicen y no puedan sembrarse, ya que la proximidad del cadáver propicia la muerte en el corazón de estos granos. Lo mismo, se dice, ocurre con los aparatos mecánicos de uso doméstico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;De la misma forma existe la costumbre de lavar el cuerpo del difunto con el fin de limpiarlo de sus pecados, el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;k’ebán &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;o boquebán, en el que acto seguido todos los familiares del deudor participarán en la limpieza de los pecados que se han quedado en el agua del baño, la cual servirá para hacer un atole o caldo de gallina, que los asistentes al velorio consumirán para ayudar al viajero a purgar sus culpas que repartidas entre todos le facilitarán el camino a la gloria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;Luego, se procede a la tradicional velación del cuerpo, para asegurar que en realidad haya cerrado sus ojitos y no sea enterrado vivo, por error. Esta tradición diferencia entre adultos y niños. El velorio de los primeros es una fiesta de despedida donde durante la noche los deudos se reúnen a tomar chocolate y pan dulce, pues los pecados del infante serían mínimos. En el caso de los adultos, no se bebe chocolate sino café entre rosario y rosario, que es rezado para librar al difunto del pecado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;El entierro y el velorio también – como en muchas culturas – es una condición de prestigio, y no es raro encontrar personas de escasos recursos que contraigan deudas a raíz de la despedida de algún pariente cercano.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;Las almas de todos estos difuntos regresan a visitar a los vivos la noche del 31 de octubre, y aunque se acostumbre a celebrar misa de aniversario en la fecha de la transición a mejor vida, solo el Día de Muertos es cuando los vivos preparan ofrendas y altares. Ya finalizados los festejos, los huéspedes, ya satisfechos, nos dejan con la promesa de regresar el siguiente año.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-113332446885414374?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/113332446885414374/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=113332446885414374&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/113332446885414374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/113332446885414374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/11/el-hanal-pixn.html' title='El Hanal Pixán'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112903859137480239</id><published>2005-10-11T15:45:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-10-11T15:49:51.376+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Norweigian wood</title><content type='html'>Trøtt å bare lesser spansk, gidder ikke mer?

Quien había expandido sus fuerzas sobre las tierras conocidas hasta finalmente unificar parte de los territorios vecinos, lo cuales fue tomando por la fuerza, hasta que cayeran en su poder.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Después de años de lucha Ulrik invadió las tierras de Roald al norte de Hjortland. Roald unificó una alianza y ambos llevaron a sus ejércitos a la guerra. Por cincuenta días lucharon sin descanso, pero para los dos comandantes su oponente estaba a su mismo nivel, y no fue hasta que a la mitad del otoño decidieron llegar a una tregua. Ulrik sacó a su ejército de las tierras de Roald si se le confiaba la mano de la hija mayor de este, Silje. El acuerdo fue firmado bajo el vuelo de los cuervos y las partes partieron hacia sus reinos sin voltear atrás. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ulrik tuvo cinco hijos, dos de los cuales fueron con Silje. Años después el fiero espíritu de Ulrik perdió su flama y pereció bajo la furia de los lobos grises de Addil junto con su primogénito Stenar y centenares de sus más leales guerreros.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;Después de su derrota el reino quedó en manos de Silje bajo el juramento que alguna vez Ulrik hizo frente a Roald y la lluvia de cuervos.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Para todos aquellos que la conocían Silje ha sido cambiada por las circunstancias, ya es la vigésima noche de invierno y lleva demasiado tiempo encerrada en aquella fortaleza muriendo de frío y viviendo entre hombres orates y groseros. La ira le corre por las venas y en cualquier momento se siente con ganas de gritar y matar hasta salir de ahí. La coherencia y sensatez que alguna vez tuvo, se van perdiendo en la locura y la desesperación de ver el reino que por tanto trabajó y por él que tuvo que soportar a su esposo, vérsele robado por su propia estirpe. &lt;br/&gt;Su cuarto lleno de lujos y materiales traídos de tierras lejanas le hacen torpe y le vuelven loca, la histeria le invade, sus ojos se llenan de ira cada vez que ve a cada una de estas cosas, su mente se remonta a aquel día en el que sin más perdió la batalla más grande de su vida, y éstos objetos llegan todos los días para recordárselo, recordarle que su infiel enemigo le sigue teniendo un sumo respeto y amor, pero la sola idea de su libertad y su poderío le llenan de temor su corazón. Lo peor es que se trata de su propia carne, y su amor materno le impide odiar a su enemigo por más mal que le haya causado, y con esa sensación espera al menos ver a su hijo entrar por aquellas puertas que día a día se abren brindándole solo decepciones en forma de valiosas vasijas de oro y telas de oriente. Se imagina qué sería lo que haría al ver a ese personaje que le arrebató todo lo que le correspondía, se pregunta si lo abrazaría, si correría a sus brazos para poder oler de esa rubia cabellera aquella esencia que no ha sentido en años, o si le apuñalaría, dejando derramar la valiosa sangre que comparten, pero que aún se ve contaminada por la avaricia de su esposo. &lt;br/&gt;Y cuando finalmente escucha el cuerno sonar a la distancia, corre hacia los enormes portones que lentamente se abren dejando pasar a un jinete seguido por varios hombres y un vagón. El jinete le anuncia la llegada de los reglaos traídos del Oeste, pero Silje no responde, tanto tiempo esperando, su paciencia había llegado a un límite, se sentina en una desesperación horrible y tomó las telas y los objetos de oro y los tiró fuera de la fortaleza; las prendas las pisoteó en el lodo, y mientras gritaba, rompía las cajas y vasijas. Sus damas trataron de calmarla, pero la ira de la reina les devolvió golpes y gritos, y habiendo pasado su ataque, le sorprendió ver la reacción tan tranquila de los guardias, del jinete, y las caras asustadas de sus damas. Silje lentamente volteó y frente a ella se plantaba un grupo de jinetes, frente a ellos uno en un corcel negro como la noche. Este se aproximo hacia la reina, y la cara cubierta por una capucha pronto fue descubierta. Después de tanto tiempo todavía podía reconocerle, veía su mirada plasmada como en un espejo, los ojos de su madre, el jinete era su hijo,Bjørnar el dueño de sus pesares.&lt;br/&gt;Silje rompió en lágrimas, parte por felicidad y parte por coraje, había tantas cosas que quería decirle, pero la ira le invadía el alma. Se volteó y se dirigió hacia la fortaleza, y le exigió que si deseaba hablar con ella, sería en sus aposentos. &lt;br/&gt;Mientras se alejaba su mente le brindó imágenes del pasado, recuerdos sobre su hijo, cuando lo veía correr por las praderas con sus pies descalzos, cuando dominó a su caballo siendo apenas un joven, su rubia cabellera mientras caminaba con sus hermanos, la inocencia, destrozada por aquél día en el que ese mismo hombre al que tanto amaba arrasó triunfante con el ejército de u padre, y apoyado por un espíritu salvaje destrozó las fuerzas que comandaba su hermano mayor, no sabía si sentir orgullo por aquel joven que demostraba hazañas extraordinarias. Pero cuando logró vencer, cuando su reino cayó en los intereses desconocidos de su hijo, sintió la agonía de la derrota, y el odio del derrotado. &lt;br/&gt;Bjørnar se acercó a su madre con sumo respeto, no solo se trataba de su madre, si no de una poderosa gobernante que no debería de ser tomada a la ligera, su enojo era evidente, pero la situación no había cambiado, su madre se había convertido en su enemigo, y la disputa por el reino había sido cruel, él había hecho un juramento, y de él dependía cumplirlo, y tuvo que derrotar y traicionar a su madre y a su hermano para conseguirlo.&lt;br/&gt;Pero su madre era poderosa, y no podía desperdiciar una vida tan preciada, en parte por amor y más que nada por temor hacía la enorme figura que Silje representaba. Por algo seguía siendo la reina, solo que ella no lo sabía. Pero el tiempo había llegado para que madre he hijo resolvieran sus conflictos y se encaminaran hacía un acuerdo que beneficiaría los planes de Bjørnar. Planes guiados por aquellos que se preparaban para una guerra aún mayor, una guerra destinada a perderse, pero que tendría que lucharse.&lt;br/&gt;Gran parte de las fuerzas de Bjørnar se encontraban fuera de la fortaleza de Silje, su plan era sencillo; su madre habría de tomar el reino mientras él se dirigía con el resto de su ejército hacia el Este, marcharía hasta el fin del mundo para encontrarse con un enemigo en crecimiento. &lt;br/&gt;Silja dudó, y fue esceptica frente a los planes de su hijo, pero Bjørnar propuso sus términos, si su madre no los aceptaba quedaría cautiva y el control del reino quedaría en manos de su hermanastro en Skade, quien le había jurado lealtad, pero Bjørnar sabía que la mano de su madre era aún más poderosa&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;que la de su hermanastro. &lt;br/&gt;Sin embargo Silje sospechaba de su hijo, pero le estaba dando algo que ella había ansiado por mucho tiempo, el poder que le correspondía, el mando del ejército que le debía respeto a ella mucho antes de que su hijo se lo quitase. &lt;br/&gt;Finalmente Bjørnar informó a su madre que acamparían a las afueras de la fortaleza hasta que ella hubiese tomado una decisión, tendría tres días, al cuarto sus fuerzas se moverían a Skade con su hermanastro.&lt;br/&gt;Silje fue veloz con su decisión, al segundo día se elevó una antorcha en la torre más alta y entonces Silja fue liberada de su encarcelamiento. Salió victoriosa seguida por su guardia y sus damas. Bjørnar la esperaba a la cabeza de la armada. Silja volvió a ver a su hijo, y recapacitó en lo que estaba a punto de hacer, pero ya había tomado una decisión, el poder era suyo y nadie más lo merecía. En ese momento recordó por última vez las piernas largas de su hijo correr por las mismas praderas en las que ahora se respiraba el aire de traición. &lt;br/&gt;Bjørnar le dio las últimas instrucciones a su madre, quien montada en su corcel, aceptó los términos de su hijo. Se sentía feliz, al fin había conseguido lo que por tanto tiempo había sufrido, pero pronto sintió la necesidad de detenerse, sin embargo era demasiado tarde, Bjørnar había juntado a su caballería, y a la cabeza de esta se dirigió hacia los bosques del Oeste, ninguna palabra se cruzó entre madre e hijo. &lt;br/&gt;Silje se vio en la presura de correr hacia su hijo, pero se sentía tan llena con el nuevo poder otorgado que solo le vio partir sin más.&lt;br/&gt;Silje gobernó con gran energía y autoridad justamente como se le había predicho a Bjørnar, pero dentro de su mente aún sentía el resentimiento hacia su hijo, hacia lo que le había hecho.&lt;br/&gt;Por mucho tiempo no se supo nada de Bjørnar, su campaña se había extendido por varias primaveras, y Silje nunca recibió alguna correspondencia de su hijo. Pronto se comenzaron a oír rumores acerca de su muerte, de la forma brutal en la que había fallecido. Silje se debatía entre la angustia y el regocijo. Si era cierto entonces el reino era completamente suyo, y no habría necesidad de utilizar el gran ejército a su disposición para someter a su hijo.&lt;br/&gt;Llegado el invierno Silje ofreció asilo a un grupo de hombres provenientes del Sur. Se pensó que eran comerciantes, pero sus intenciones eran otras. A Silje se le presentaron como filósofos, hombres de saber que venían a presentarle la verdad acerca del mundo. Ellos hablaban acerca de un ser más poderoso aún que aquellos que controlaban las tierras del norte, hablaban de su piedad y su paz, pero que para llegar a ellas había que luchar incluso hasta la muerte. &lt;br/&gt;Silje se vio extrañamente atraída hacia estos personajes, e hizo que se distribuyeran sus conocimientos entre las personas del reino, los hombres de piel quemada accedieron gustosamente a instruir al pueblo acerca de sus conocimientos. Pronto el reino cambió por&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;la llegada de un enemigo mayor, que poco a poco fue conquistando los corazones de las personas. &lt;br/&gt;Pasada la primavera, las doctrinas de los extraños hombre venidos del sur habían sido implementadas por prácticamente todo el reino. Silje logró llegar a un acuerdo con su hijastro en Skade para que su ejército y su gente se unieran a la nueva ideología, a vistas de que Bjørnar al parecer yacía muerto en batalla y que su ejército se había dispersado. La reina lo lloró por tres días y tres noches y luego su cuerpo fue simbólicamente enterrado bajo las instrucciones de los hombres del sur.&lt;br/&gt;Entonces vino el otoño, y el reino de Silje recibió una visita escalofriante. Bajo la constante lluvia las puertas de la fortaleza se abrieron para dar asilo a un ser intrigante. Silje, seguida por los hombres del sur fue a recibir al visitante, pero estos aconsejaron a la reina tuviese cautela, puesto que se trataba de un seid, un sirviente de los poderes maléficos de la antigüedad. Sin embargo el hombre, viejo, quien sostenía un báculo en donde soportaba el peso de su cuerpo, se aproximó a Silje, y hablándole en el oído le da noticias devastadoras para la reina. El anciano se aleja lentamente y desaparece entre la lluvia. Los hombres del sur consultan&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;a Silje y este les informa del hecho que esta por aproximarse, pero los hombres tratan de tranquilizarla diciéndole que las mentiras de un viejo loco no son para tomarse en serio, y que su nueva fe la protegería.&lt;br/&gt;Pero el día llegó en el que el horizonte se cubrió de un velo negro, de los bosques volaban grandes cantidades de cuervos cubriendo el cielo sobre las cabezas de los habitantes. Silje observaba paralizada mientras que los cuervos se agrupaban sobre su fortaleza. Los hombres del sur la acompañan, asombrados ante la magnificencia del evento, sus corazones se llenan de temor y se preguntan lo que ocurrirá ante tal acontecimiento. Esa noche fue diferente, Silje alistó a su guardia como si esperase a ser atacada en cualquier momento, las paredes de la fortaleza fueron reforzadas mientras que los campesinos fueron llevados al interior de esta. La oscuridad era imponente, y la infinidad de antorchas que se encendían no ayudaban de mucho ante la penumbra que se posaba sobre ellos. Mientras su ejército se alistaba, Silje mandó a llamar a las fuerzas del reino para que viniesen en su ayuda, tenía suficientes soldados para repeler un ataque, pero necesitaría refuerzos si habría de mantener un sitio. Así se mandaron mensajeros hacía todos los rincones del reino, se izaron banderas y se encendieron antorchas para los aliados que habrían de brindar su apoyo a la reina. El reino que había formado Ulrik era vasto y su alianza era fuerte, pero llevaría tiempo juntar a toda la fuerza, sin embargo Silje&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;no tenía opción. &lt;br/&gt;En la madrugada, el vuelo de los cuervos despertó a la población, algunos guardias en la torre aseguraban haber escuchado aullidos durante la noche, pero la densa neblina que se había formado no les permitía ver nada as su alrededor. Los cuervos volvieron a cubrir el cielo volando en todas direcciones hasta desaparecer entre los bosques. Al empezarse a levantar el sol, la luz dorada permitió ver una figura en el Este, un jinete envuelto en sombras. Silje fue despertada y ella misma subió a la torre para observar. &lt;br/&gt;El jinete alzó su espada y el tono grave de un cuerno retumbó como trueno. Entonces el cielo se cubrió de negro, y una lluvia de flechas cayó sobre la fortaleza. Los soldados pusieron sus escudos al aire y trataron de protegerse lo mejor posible, pero las flechas caían indiscriminadamente atravesando techos y armaduras.&lt;br/&gt;El ataque duró horas, Silje ordenó a sus jinetes atacar los flacos del enemigo, pero este se movía con rapidez, su infantería se había formado frente a las paredes esperando un ataque frontal. Silje ordenó un último ataque de caballería, pero esta vez los caballos se detuvieron y desobedeciendo a sus jinetes salieron despavoridos. En eso un aullido llenó el corazón de los soldados de pánico. Frente a ellos saliendo de la neblina un jinete oscuro cabalga hacia ellos seguido de un ejército de enormes lobos. Estos cargaron contra los soldados con fiereza, mientras que su líder desde su caballo degollaba hombres con su espada. Los colmillos de los lobos atravesaban hierro y acero.&lt;br/&gt;Al ver a sus compañeros ser devorados los soldados rompieron filas y corrieron presas del pánico fuera del campo de batalla. Desde la torre Silje y los hombres del sur veían aterrados la carnicería.&lt;br/&gt;Entonces las puertas de la fortaleza se abrieron dejando entrar a los pocos hombres que aún resistían siendo perseguidos por los lobos. El jinete oscuro entró a la cabeza de su ejército y descubriendo su rostro, Silje&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;reconoció a su hijo, susurró su nombre con dificultad. Bjørnar había cambiado, su rostro lleno de tatuajes le daba un aspecto terrorífico, había perdido un ojo y su mirada asemejaba a la de la muerte. &lt;br/&gt;Silje sintió como se le venía abajo, ahora sabía que su hijo no había muerto y que estaba aquí para reclamar su reino, el cuál había sido entregado a las creencias del sur. Bjørnar estaba encolerizado.&lt;br/&gt;El ataque duró hasta la noche, al día siguiente la fortaleza había sido quemada junto con cada uno de sus habitantes. La ayuda que había solicitado Silje arribó, pero demasiado tarde, lo único que encontraron fueron los cadáveres de los soldados que no fueron devorados por los lobos, pero ningún rastro de su reina.&lt;br/&gt;Después de aquel día no se supo más de Bjørnar o de su madre. Se dice que se trataba de los lobos de Addil, y que dedicaron a cazar a los infieles hasta que la Gran Batalla se llevó a cabo. &lt;br/&gt;Finalmente el reino de Ulrik cayó vencido ante los jefes del Este, y fue dividido entre varios de estos.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112881527109227956?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112881527109227956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112881527109227956&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112881527109227956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112881527109227956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/10/silje.html' title='Silje'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112795231614140561</id><published>2005-09-29T02:05:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-09-29T02:05:16.146+02:00</updated><title type='text'>El castillo</title><content type='html'>Los altos muros de piedra se elevaban por entre los árboles, vistos desde el bosque la riqueza en inmensidad del castillo le daban un toque fantástico.&lt;br/&gt;Ya a las faldas de la fortaleza se apreciaba el grosor de sus muros, enormes cimientos rodeados por agua y un puente elevado por enormes cadenas que ameritaban el trabajo de varios hombres para hacerlo funcionar. Visto desde afuera dentro del bosque, entre los árboles y el brillo dorado del sol, el castillo parecía la entrada a otro mundo, y vaya que lo era. &lt;br/&gt;Cruzar ese puente de madera hacia el enorme arco era como viajar en el tiempo, pronto nos encontrábamos en otro lugar y otros tiempos, habíamos aterrizado en el patio principal rodeados de ventanas que nos observaban indiferentes ante nuestra presencia, pero todas contaban una historia.&lt;br/&gt;Llenos de misterio, fuimos recorriendo los muros del castillo, violamos su seguridad y nos adentramos a lo más íntimo de su ser. Las grandes salas repletas de innumerables utensilios que alguna vez pertenecieron a los grandes señores que rondaron por estos pasillos.&lt;br/&gt;El castillo en sí tenía un aire de misterio para un infante intrigado por las historias que ahí en sus muros se plasmaban, por las bestias que colgaban por la pared y reflejaban el último suspiro antes de su muerte. Los profundo túneles de escapatoria que aún recuerdo llegaban a la casa blanca del otro lado del río, y que iluminados con antorchas se volvían más tétricos que cualquier otro lugar del castillo. Pero tal vez su recuerdo permanecerá en mi mente después de conocer la historia detrás de una figura que vaga por las noches envuelta en blanco recordando la época en la que murió olvidada, incapaz de salir de su escondite y condenada a morir de hambre.&lt;br/&gt;Esa historia me siguió por la noche haciéndome recordar las altas torres del castillo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112795231614140561?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112795231614140561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112795231614140561&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112795231614140561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112795231614140561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/09/el-castillo.html' title='El castillo'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112658383566928326</id><published>2005-09-13T00:01:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-09-13T05:57:15.690+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Hva er det som skjer?</title><content type='html'>Joda! Livet er ikke alt gøy og moro. Man må jobbe litt til å få litt.&lt;br /&gt;Æ har fåt veldig mye lekser fra skolen i det siste (vet det, æ klager så mye). Men æ prøver å overleve, og siste fredag, da hadde vi den første skole fest her oss meg. Den var dritt bra, masse alkohol og veldig dårlig musikk (ikke min skyld). Men det var greit nok, og samme dag fant vi at det var en fransk som hadde bursdagen og selvfølgelig en fest og. Da bestemt oss til å kjøre dritt full de 12km til byen. Og der fester vi en gang te. Fest fest, forsatt dårlig musikk men vi klart oss fint, fram til kl 6 på fredag, når æ bestemt meg til å kjøre hjem, med masse alkohol i blodet. Men det gikk bra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Så fest æ har fåt... yey! Men æ har plass for mer. Neste fredag (16.09.2005) det er Mexicos nasjonal dag. For nesten 200 år har Mexico vært en nasjon uten den spanske krone. Det var når presten Miguel Hidalgo, Josefa Ortiz, Jose Maria Morelos, Ignacio Allende, og mange andre, som den 16. september 1810 begynt en krig mot den spansk okkupasjon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Og det betyr fest!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vanligvis i Mexico vi fester 16. september med en stor fest i den locale sentrum. Der kommer en av vårt lederene og roper etter de gammle helter av Mexicos historie, han gjøre det mens han ringer på klokke. I Mexico City, de brukker den original klokke som de tar med seg fra Guanajuato hvor Hidalgo ropt etter frihet og fred.&lt;br /&gt;"Viva México, vivan lo héroes que nos dieron patria y libertad!" Hurra Mexico, hurra for de helter son ga oss fedreland og frihet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dette har væt en tradisjon som begynt rundt 1900 med de hundre år jubileum av frihet i Mexico. Det var diktator Porfirio Diaz som sa at det var viktig å husker de helter som kjempte mot den spanske kolonie. Det og at han hadde bursdag den 16. september, derfor vi fester på dette datoen og ikke den 27. september (1821) som var faktisk når Agustin Iturbide, Vicente Guerrero, og mange andre fikk spanjolene til å reise vekk fra Mexico og kommer in te Mexico City med den Trigarante Hæren (Ejército Trigarante) og Mexicos første flagg som en fri fedreland; tre diagonal streker, hvit, grøn og rødt, med en stjerne i hver strek. Trigarante betyr "De tre garantier", og de er: hvit for religion, grøn for uavhengighet og rødt for union (blods union av alle raser). Etter det, Iturbide var valgt som den første kaizeren i Mexicos historie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hva er det som skjer med meg?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vel, uten at jeg må gå på skolen og alt den stress som dette kommer med. Men, æ har litt å jobber med.&lt;br /&gt;- I de siste uker hadde æ kommet in i en kortfilm prosjekt med en kamerat av meg. Æ må lagger en manus basert på George Orwells roman "Animal Farm". Prosjekt er en animasjons film som hadler om den siste kapitel i Orwells roman. Tenker vi om en små kritik til den komunist regime i Russland, hvor diktatoren er en svær gris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Også jobber æ med to kortfilmer, tegneserien Einherjer og en internet siden med ... ja mer tegneserier (Cute Lil' Me).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Litt av det som skjer i dette delen av verden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pink it was love at first sight, yeah pink when I turn off the light..."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- TorSven -&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112658383566928326?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112658383566928326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112658383566928326&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112658383566928326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112658383566928326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/09/hva-er-det-som-skjer.html' title='Hva er det som skjer?'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112614142721463454</id><published>2005-09-08T03:01:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-09-08T03:03:47.220+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Cronopios y mascotas</title><content type='html'>Cuando un cronopio adquiere una mascota, no se dirige a una tienda de animales, si no más bien suele recoger a algún animalito de la calle.&lt;br /&gt;Una vez realizala la abducción, el cronopio procede a revisar que el animal no pertenezca a alguna otra persona, o que en realidad se trate de un animal domestico. Ya realizada la legitimación de la bestia, el cronopio se dedica a buscar todo lo necesario para la satisfacción de su pequeña adquisición.&lt;br /&gt;Para los cronopios, las mascotas son parte importante de su vida, por lo tanto hacen todo lo posible por &lt;strong&gt;acondicionar&lt;/strong&gt; sus necesidades a la del animalito. Es tanta la pasión que un cronopio le tiene a su animal, que cada vez que lo saca a pasear o que la mascota desea salir, el cronopio le instala una &lt;strong&gt;brújula&lt;/strong&gt; en el collar, para que el animal pueda encontrar el camino de vuelta; en caso de que el cronopio se vea en la necesidad de acompañar a su mascota, la brújula le servirá entonces para que ambos puedan regresar a salvo a casa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aunque para un cronopio la mascota de la casa es símbolo de respeto, este sabe que también debe ser educada. Cuando un animal casero se rebela y se comporta de forma inapropiada, el cronopio le reprende. El proceso implica conseguir un &lt;strong&gt;baúl&lt;/strong&gt; lo suficientemente grande para poder &lt;strong&gt;retener&lt;/strong&gt; al animalote ahí dentro. Con el fin de que la mascota no muera de asfixia, el cronopio utiliza un &lt;strong&gt;revolver&lt;/strong&gt; para hacer hoyos en el baúl. Una vez dentro del baúl, no pasaran ni cinco minutos hasta que el animalillo empiece a gemir, para poder salir del horrible &lt;strong&gt;confinamiento&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con escuchar el primer gemido, el cronopio entrará en un estado de singular&lt;strong&gt; compulsión&lt;/strong&gt;, haciendo que los demás cronopios de la casa acudan a su socorro. Al descubrir las intenciones, los cronopios adultos se opondrán rotundamente a la liberación del castigo, haciendo que la familia de cronopios entre en una &lt;strong&gt;reyerta&lt;/strong&gt; escandalosa. Solo hará falta un segundo gemido por parte del animal, para que toda la familia de los cronopios y hasta los cronopios vecinos liberen al animalito. Una vez liberada la mascota de la casa, los cronopios, usando su conocimiento de que la &lt;strong&gt;música&lt;/strong&gt; tranquiliza a las bestias, pondrán sus mejores discos para que el animal se tranquilice. Luego le servirán un banquete digno de reyes para presentar su disculpa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así quieren los cronopios a sus mascotas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112614142721463454?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112614142721463454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112614142721463454&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112614142721463454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112614142721463454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/09/cronopios-y-mascotas.html' title='Cronopios y mascotas'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112599055642034933</id><published>2005-09-06T08:56:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-09-06T09:09:16.426+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5997/1443/1600/Gotham2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

En litten historie fra de Einherjer Sagas (tegneserie av TorSven). En lieimorder prøver å drepe en ung mann, men det kommer noe skumelt etter han. Alt ble mørkt og han prøver å rømme, men det er alt for sent, skygger har vant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For den siste (A mi mitad [To my half]). En litten historie av den romantiske siden i TorSven. En an lekse. Det handler om Platons teori av den andre halv, den som alle mennesker trenger og en dag vi alle hadde, men Zeus kuta oss i to so vi skulle ikke ta over Olympus. Vi van nesten guder, og nå vi er dødelig, så vi går hele livet vår å søker etter den halv som var tatt fra oss. &lt;br /&gt;Så søtt!&lt;br /&gt;Teksten handler om meg, og hvordan æ har ikke fant den halv som vi alle trenger.&lt;br /&gt;Ikke blir redd med peguiner og griser, de også har en forklaringen, vi måte brukker disse ordene i teksten pga vi kunne ikke holde skjefta i klasseromet ... hmmm &lt;br /&gt;Typisk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nå er det halv et, og det er nesten fem timer igjen før æ må står opp og drar til skolen.

I have journeyed to the most inhospitable corners of the world searching for thy, but I have found nothing more than bad luck and misfortune.&lt;br /&gt;My heart is starting to get desperate. Each time I see you I think you are here, that my time has come, that from that moment we will be together again, but then to my sorrow I see you mutate, I see you changing into another being that I can not recognize, another one’s half.&lt;br /&gt;Today I write so you know that I have really searched for you, that I have truly fought for you, that you are not another one of my memories, but I have been betrayed so many times, I’ve been deceived in so many occasions that I am loosing hope.&lt;br /&gt;This armour that I carry on me, is to find you, so when you kiss me I can take apart this heavy steel and finally this ice helmet will be broken. But we have been through too much you and me, that I can not see the moment to finally find you.&lt;br /&gt;I have searched for you between flocks of penguins. I freezed until my members lost their feeling waiting that you would be in one of those birds. &lt;br /&gt;Just before dying in agony I saw a glimpse of you between the polar winds, so I followed. And you made me fly.&lt;br /&gt;Between an enormous pack of ducks I travelled the whole world, form sun to sun. But the weight of the armour was bigger and in my falling you visited me again. When I landed in the mud, you where there. Between the weirder of the creatures where I never thought I would find you. &lt;br /&gt;To a herd of pigs you brought me, it rained a lot, and the weight of my armour made me sink in the mud. Soon your pigs approached me, and slowly they pushed me under. I swallowed mud for you.&lt;br /&gt;Today I am between my kind, I have learned my dear half, I have learned that you will com to me, and that I alone will wait for you. This moonlight night me and my herd, we will hunt, but I wont search for you, because I know that if it is true you are my other half, you will hunt beside me and my wolves.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112596957533081633?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112596957533081633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112596957533081633&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112596957533081633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112596957533081633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/09/for-my-half-fot-non-spanish-speakers.html' title='For my half (fot the non-spanish speakers)'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112596760924870998</id><published>2005-09-06T02:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-09-13T00:00:43.396+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Para mi mitad</title><content type='html'>Mi querida mitad, hoy te escribo con la horrible frustración he haber recorrido el mundo entero en tu búsqueda. He viajado a los rincones más inhóspitos de la Tierra en busca de tu persona, pero no he encontrado más que mala suerte y desdicha.&lt;br /&gt;     Mi corazón empieza a desesperarse. Cada vez que te veo creo que ya estás aquí, que mi hora ha llegado, que en ese momento estaremos juntos de nuevo, pero entonces muy a mi pesar te veo mutar, te veo cambiar a algún otro ser que desconozco, la mitad de otro.&lt;br /&gt;     Hoy te escribo para que sepas que en verdad te he buscado, que en verdad he luchado por ti, que no eres otro más de mis recuerdos, pero he sido traicionado varias veces, me han engañado en tantas ocasiones que estoy perdiendo la esperanza.&lt;br /&gt;Ésta armadura que cargo sobre mí, es para encontrarte, es para que cuando tú me beses me deshaga de este pesado acero y al fin este casco de hielo se rompa. Pero por tanto hemos pasado tú y yo, que no veo el momento de encontrarte.&lt;br /&gt;     Te he buscado, entre colonias de pingüinos. Me congelé y mis miembros dejaron de sentir esperando a que dentro de alguna de esas aves estuvieses tú. &lt;br /&gt;Poco antes de morir en agonía vislumbre tu imagen por entre los vientos polares, entonces te seguí. Y me hiciste volar.&lt;br /&gt;     Entre enormes parvadas de patos recorrí el mundo, de sol a sol. Pero el peso de la armadura fue más grande y en mi caída me volviste a visitar. Cuando aterricé en el barro ahí estabas, dentro de las más extrañas de las criaturas donde nunca imaginé verte.&lt;br /&gt;     A una piara me habías traído, entre cerdos y barro, llovía mucho, y el peso de mi armadura me hacía hundirme en el lodo. Pronto tus cerdos se me aproximaron y poco a poco me fueron hundiendo. Tragué lodo por ti.&lt;br /&gt;     Hoy me encuentro entre los míos, he aprendido bien mi querida mitad, he aprendido que tú vendrás a mí, y yo solo he de esperarte. Esta noche de luna yo y  mi manada saldremos a cazar, pero no te buscaré, por que se que si en verdad eres mi mitad, cazaras junto a mí y a mis lobos.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112596760924870998?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112596760924870998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112596760924870998&amp;isPopup=true' title='26 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112596760924870998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112596760924870998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/09/para-mi-mitad.html' title='Para mi mitad'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112535744248365930</id><published>2005-08-30T01:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-08-30T01:17:22.490+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Drakke Reloaded</title><content type='html'>El dragón es una criatura que se ha percibido de dos maneras. Se le ha considerado como dador de caos, y como un dios que brinda bienestar a las personas. El dragón era, para una mitad del mundo, una criatura repulsiva y violenta, pero para la otra mitad era gentil y sabia.&lt;br /&gt;El dragón yo lo defino con esa dualidad, un dragón, no dos especies distintas. Un dragón es un ser de increíbles poderes, que puede crear y al mismo tiempo destruir. El dragón es la fuerza de la naturaleza, es el ser mágico por excelencia. Y si algo es común entre el ser humano, es que todos respetamos a estos seres, ya sea porque les tememos o porque los alabamos.&lt;br /&gt;Yo me identifico con el dragón porque yo me encuentro en esa dualidad, no solo conmigo mismo, si no también con las personas. Tengo la capacidad de lastimar a las personas, pero también puedo sanarlas, ayudarles. Soy un buen amigo, por eso las personas me respetan y me quieren.&lt;br /&gt;Pero como las cualidades del dragón, suelo reservarme a mí mismo, usualmente yo no voy a las personas, me quedo cuidando mi tesoro en o profundo de la cueva que es mi mente. Como en las historias de antaño, el dragón no acude a las personas, las personas acuden al dragón. &lt;br /&gt;Como aquella bestia, espero a que ellos vengan a mí, y desde mi guarida los veo venir, estudiándolos observando con mis ojos de dragón lo más profundo de su corazón, previendo sus intenciones. Y cuando al final lograron sobrevivir el peligroso camino, les otorgo lo que vinieron a buscar, una parte de mi tesoro. El tesoro del dragón.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112535744248365930?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112535744248365930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112535744248365930&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112535744248365930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112535744248365930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/08/drakke-reloaded.html' title='Drakke Reloaded'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112535641952856918</id><published>2005-08-30T00:55:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-08-30T01:00:19.536+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Famas y Esperanzas de Cronopios</title><content type='html'>Cuando Julio Cortazar se dedicó a clasificar las actitudes humanas, definió tres tipos de seres que habitan este recóndito planeta. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la dimensión “cortazeana” existen tres tipos de personas, estas son las famas, los cronopios y las esperanzas. Dentro de las cuales cada uno de nosotros, sin darnos cuenta, encajamos casi a la perfección, pues como si fueran envases colocados uno junto al otro, nuestro ser pretende quedarse en uno, pero somos tan grandes y pesados que la materia se despilfarra cayendo en los otros dos envases. Y entonces nos disponemos a ir por el mundo jalando nuestros tres frascos de conciencia a medio llenar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     La verdad es que es imposible clasificarnos en uno de estos grupos. Pues como ya dije, todos llevamos un poquito de todo, pero eso sí, hay a quienes les abundan determinadas características, y respecto a eso uno puede irse haciendo una idea de a qué grupo pertenece cada persona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Los cronopios son en sí el grupo más gentil y bondadoso, no que los otros dos sean malos y egoístas, pero en los cronopios se nota esa ingenuidad e inocencia, que en los famas no se llegaría a ver. Los cronopios son despreocupados y positivos, no tienen miedo de expresar sus sentimientos, son cariñosos y amables. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Los famas son meticulosos, todo lo tienen bajo control, no viven la vida preocupándose, pues todo lo mantienen en orden, pero si algo se les sale de control, tienen que arreglarlo por todos los medios posibles. Los cronopios, además acatan las reglas sin dudar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Las esperanzas en cambio, viven la vida como se les viene encima, no se preocupan por el orden, ni viven en el desorden, son como un punto medio entre estos dos grupos de famas  y cronopios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Yo, soy un cronopio de corazón. Me levanto tarde y soy desordenado. Veo la vida con optimismo y no me importa lo que piensen los demás. No me importa dormir bajo las estrellas ni mojarme con la lluvia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Cuando uno entra a mis aposentos, lo primero que se nota es que la fama de mi muchacha ha de sufrir teniendo que recoger en tiradero que para mí es el orden perfecto. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Como buen cronopio, soy despreocupado, y también a veces se me viene lo de ingenuo e inocente, y es que hay cosas que a los cronopios no se nos debería de poner enfrente, no es que no lo comprendamos, pero nos tardamos más en asimilarlo, y sí, en efecto nos frustra que el mundo nos lo cambien de repente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    También he de informar que a nosotros cronopios nos encanta ir en contra de la corriente, no es que nos queramos enfrentar pues de pacifistas tenemos todo, pero la verdad es que no entendemos la forma en la que la gente se comporta, porque es mejor ser uno mismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Pero el cronopio para mí no lo es todo. Como ya dije, los seres humanos no nos podemos quedar encasillados en un papel, porque la verdad pues así no funcionamos. Yo como buen ser humano, también tengo mi lado fama; ya que hay cosas en esta vida que uno no puede llevarlas única y exclusivamente como cronopio. Y aunque nos pese, hay que entender que hay reglas y funciones que solo los famas pueden desempeñar, y tal vez no sea tanto ser un fama, si no tener cualidades de uno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Finalmente si nos ponemos a pensar, todos tenemos un poco de esperanzas, un poco de famas y un poco de cronopios, y es eso lo que nos hace interesantes especimenes en un mundo lejano y peligroso.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112535641952856918?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112535641952856918/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112535641952856918&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112535641952856918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112535641952856918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/08/famas-y-esperanzas-de-cronopios.html' title='Famas y Esperanzas de Cronopios'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112520969897542207</id><published>2005-08-28T07:21:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-08-28T08:14:58.980+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Sombras</title><content type='html'>El peso del artefacto le hacía temblar la mano, no era la primera vez que lo hacía, pero cada ocasión era diferente, en cada ocasión el trabajo se hacía más difícil.Tomó un suspiro, maldijo al que una vez le dijo que con la experiencia el trabajo se volvería sencillo, no hay nada de sencillo en hacer lo que hace.&lt;br /&gt;Inclinó su cabeza hacia atrás, estaba perdiendo el tiempo, lo único que había ganado haciendo esto era una enorme presión, cada segundo era un segundo más en su contra, un presio más alto sobre su cabeza y posiblemente una menor oportunidad de salir librado.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Apretó el mango y alzó el aparato, el metal estaba frío, sentía como cada uno de sus músculos se esforzaban para manterse estables por el peso de ese pedazo de metal frío. Abrió la puerta, el aire helado de la noche cocho en su cara, una descarga de adrenalina corrió por su cuerpo. Salió del coche, paso lento pero decidido, aparentaba no tener miedo, pero su corazón latía a velocidades extremas. Entonces llegó hasta donde su víctima, quien seguía luchando por salir del vehículo destrozado. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alzó el objeto, y esperó, espero hasta que el sujeto se percatara de su presencia, le vió a los ojos, sus miradas se cruzaron. Su dedo pulgar se tensó y amartilló lentamente la pistola. Luego su mano completa sostuvo el aparato con firmeza, su respiración se detuvo mientras su vista se agudizaba. Su dedo índice abrazó en gatillo. Vió el momento, vió el momento indicado, pero algo extraño sucedió, algo que él no había planeado, algo fuera de lo común. Su corazón se detuvo por un instante, volvió a respirar, un dolor en lo más profundo de su pecho se despertó, y un cosquillero en la nuca hizo que se volteara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo se había vuelto oscuro, las luces de la ciudad habían desaparecido, el auto, su presa, todo había desaparecido en un penumbra impenetrable. De repente sintió como si un vacío se abriera por debajo de sus pies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No podia orientarse, sus sentidos le engañaban. No se atrevía a gritar, el miedo ya se había apoderado de él; sostuvo el arma con fuerza como si fuera su única conexión con la realidad. Comenzó a caminar, como un ciego tratando de tantear su alrededor, pero se había vuelto torpe; tropezó entonces y perdió el arma. Todo era oscuridad.&lt;br /&gt;Entonces vió a lo lejos una luz, una silueta alargada reflejando una luz blanca flotando en la penumbra, como si la Luna se reflejáse en un pluma de plata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero no había Luna, solo él sumergido en un mundo de oscuridad, y su única esperanza era una luz que lentamente se aproximaba hacia él.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intentó levantarse, pero el peso de su cuerpo se lo impedía, era como si hubiese perdido sus sentidos; mientras la luz se aproximaba más y más. Y entonces lo vió, el mundo de oscuridad comenzaba a desaparecer, podía ver las luces de la calle, los tres automóviles, podía oler el pavimento, el aceite. Podía oir el tráfico, lentamente sus sentidos fueron reapareciendo. Pero la luz no había desaparecido, seguía brillando con intensidad aproximandose ahora con más velocidad, deslumbrandole. Y vió a la luz llegar hasta donde él estaba, y vió su forma y majestuosidad, y entonces el dolor se hizo presente, como su cuerpo era perforado por aquella luz majestuosa, y en ese momento, mientras su oscuro ser manchaba de sangre la belleza de aquella pluma de plata; él vió a su enemigo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112520969897542207?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112520969897542207/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112520969897542207&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112520969897542207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112520969897542207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/08/sombras.html' title='Sombras'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112493870786981089</id><published>2005-08-25T04:52:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-08-25T04:58:27.870+02:00</updated><title type='text'>NS</title><content type='html'>As this new universe slowly approaches pur sences, this new breed of superhumans unite into a new banner willing to give everything to protect those who have to be protected.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112493870786981089?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112493870786981089/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112493870786981089&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112493870786981089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112493870786981089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/08/ns.html' title='NS'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112493797061603942</id><published>2005-08-25T04:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-08-25T04:46:10.623+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Drakke</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5997/1443/1600/Dragons%20Revenge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5997/1443/200/Dragons%20Revenge.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tal vez la criatura que ha creado más fascinación dentro de las mentes humanas es el &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dragón&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;El dragón ha compartido la evolución de la civilización casi desde sus principios, para donde volteemos siempre encontraremos un indicio de aquella criatura que desde tiempos remotos se ha quedado plasmada en la imaginación y los corazones de la gente. Ésta fascinación por el dragón se debe talvez a su naturaleza, el dragón es en sí un representante de las fuerzas naturales, un ser mágico brindador de orden y caos, no es sorprendente que en varias ocasiones se vea al dragón como el guardián de algún tesoro.&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo no es posible de hablar de un tipo de dragón en específico, aunque está presente en casi todas las culturas en el mundo, éste mismo pareció dividirse en cuanto a su apreciación respecto a éstas criaturas. Si hablamos de Occidente, el dragón era visto como una fuerza del caos, era destruido por los héroes y temido incluso por los dioses. En la mitología nórdica estaba en el dragón el principio del Ragnarok, el fin de todos y todo.&lt;br /&gt;Pero en Oriente, el dragón era visto como una fuerza, no destructiva, si no pacificadora, una fuerza guardiana del orden. El dragón permanecía como creador y guardián en vez de destructor.&lt;br /&gt;En éstas dos percepciones, el mundo se mantuvo dividido, en un balance de fuerzas donde los dragones reinaban sobre los cielos, brindando caos y orden al mundo.&lt;br /&gt;Es ésta dualidad que atrae al hombre, uno por el temor mismo, y el otro por la fascinación y la curiosidad. El orden y el caos son los componentes que conforman al hombre y a la naturaleza. Entonces el hombre se identifica con éste ser magnífico, con éste poder natural, que solo desearía tener. Todos quieren ser dragones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post will be watched in english or norweigian (however I feel like) promtly ...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15552171-112493797061603942?l=torsven.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/feeds/112493797061603942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15552171&amp;postID=112493797061603942&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112493797061603942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15552171/posts/default/112493797061603942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torsven.blogspot.com/2005/08/drakke.html' title='Drakke'/><author><name>Tor-Sven Son of Evil, Brother of Darkness, Father of Rage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519391616993755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1vyIbZkeItQ/TJ5YgEd3nGI/AAAAAAAAAJU/v6vHpnmJx74/S220/profil_0034.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552171.post-112484817481293628</id><published>2005-08-24T03:30:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-08-24T03:49:34.816+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The Einherjer Sagas</title><content type='html'>Magic, acient gods, criminals and lot of attitude.
