Scientists have found what might have been the ideal ancient vacation hot spot with a 74-degree Fahrenheit average temperature, alligator ancestors and palm trees. It’s smack in the middle of the Arctic.

First-of-its-kind core samples dug up from deep beneath the Arctic Ocean floor show that 55 million years ago an area near the North Pole was practically a subtropical paradise, three new studies show…

My name is Don Juan DeMarco. I am the greatest lover in the world…

Every time I hear this line in the movie I can’t help but laugh until my stomach hurts. What an excellent self-steem had this character! Fer & I concluded that hallucinations without drugs are funnier than any other thing…

The intense weekend came to its end after having lunch in Coyoacán. As always, we couldn’t leave the place without sipping some hot mochas.

It was fun (and scary at the same time) to watch about 10,000 women doing some warm-up exercises in the middle of Paseo de la Reforma (one of the most important avenues in this city):

She finished the race in about 32 minutes (a decent time for running 5 km without previous training) and came back to where I was to bring me back from my catatonic state. She convinced me to get back home and had breakfast. I quickly agreed. After all, who can resist to the enchant of such a cute chef?

Now I must get into bed just to wake up in a couple of hours. I hope it doesn’t spin too much… hehehe

After that I went training to the university. I logged 800 meters of climbing and 45 minutes of skating (yes, skating).

By 4 p.m. I went to visit my grandmother and had lunch at her place. Lots of food!

Now I’ll go to aunt Yola’s apartment for a big party. I’m in the middle of an intense weekend!

We talked about all the things we lived since kindergarden and how our lives changed so agressively when we had to assist to different secondary schools. A lot of old friends came to our minds during this conversation. It’s great that we are still able to be in touch and remember such moments.

Obviously, during one of the subjects it came out the question of how many years we have of being friends, our calculations said: 24 years! Yeah, our mothers almost used to change our diapers together… hehehe

At the very first hour in the morning I took the lead on our weekly engineering phone conference, the topic I chose was XML processing with Perl. The rest of the working hours were as usual: fixing bugs, creating packages, setting up webservices…

The movie is good in general (in fact, to simply watch the cute and talented Audrey Tautou in the big screen is far more than a reward for me…), but in a difficult topic such as religion I prefer to keep my mouth closed.

I’m sure that giving a read to the book can be far more illustrative than the movie but, to be honest, I’ve never been into reading books other than those about climbing…
