Kitchen cabinet- $850

didn’t sleep last night, went to work feeling faint and came home, slept. Reviewed ‘the curious incident of the dog…’, went to video shop, rented ‘Hero’ and ‘The Control Room’. Still not 100%… 2 days to sita’s QEs. 3 days to Atticus getting a bath.

…this afternoon. From this point on in the blog, and the real world, she’s Dr. Sita.

Sally & Martin are down at the minute and we’re off for breakfast in a moment. Lots of pictures coming this way in 24-48 hours.

Hasta pronto!

EDIT:

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE CONGRATS. We’re still celebratin’ more soon, including this photo…

Just made a compilation CD of some of my favourite movie choons:
Hope this table survives the cut and paste from word…

I missed off tons, but I’ll make another one one of these days…

obviously he’s missing his other family in L.A., but just to show how he’s adapting to life south of the tropic of Cancer, here he is refreshing himself with chilled mineral water on Sunday’s Via Recreativa:

and here’s the famous “Daily Doggy Dinner Dance” along with feeding instructions:

He’s a great one for cheering us up.

The visual cue from it’s French origin “dame jeanne”, a wide hipped lady is delightfully sensual… apparently. So that sort of makes sense, although Lady Jane must have had a very odd looking head. With big ears maybe.

Click on “More” or “Comment” below and you’ll see some of the transcription I’m working on about Mayahuel, the Aztec goddess of the Agave. Ocelots, humming birds and human sacrifice aplenty.

So I’ll show you how Mayahuel was born. It’s a personal class, just for you!

OK

They say that the Kingdoms of Heaven used to include Earth too. Gods used to walk the Earth and the heavens, and they changed into strange beings. They were very… If they wanted to be wind, they’d be wind, or fire, or gods or humans, or trees or plants. They could pass through all these states. At the very beginning there’s this woman, who gives birth to Gods. She is Cuacuitle, the one with the skirt of serpents. Here she’s alive, but then she has to die and merge with the soil of mother Earth, decapitated and dismembered, a sacrifice which allowed humanity to survive, but which has to be repaid as shown by her collar of hands and hearts. So here, she’s dead, but before, when she was alive she was like this… Her daughter, xixlales, the stars and this woman was called coloachowski (?).

[I arrive…]

We’re talking about Mayahuel, the goddess of agaves, of fecundity and fertility. This is Coatquitle, She’s the mother of all the gods, she’s a cuatl, Coatlquinque, she has daughters, stars and this woman colaochowski. So one day she was dusting her palace and she found some hummingbird feathers so she picked them up and put them in the back of her skirt, and so she got pregnant. Coloachowski realised that her mother had got pregnant and so she wants to kill her so she doesn’t have this child. But in her womb, the son hears her, and her sister and (his name is huitislospostre, which means the left-handed hummingbird, because his dad is a humming bird). Later Huitizlapostre is going to be the King/God of the Aztecs, god of War, spiritual guide and representative of the sun. But in the meantime, he hears his sister saying she wants to kill them so he comes out of his mothers womb as a warrior and kills her sister. And you may think what a terrible thing, but didn’t Cain kill Abel? Well, they go off, and the sister is killed, he cuts of her hands, legs and head, they bury her and she turns to stone. This stone exists- it’s in the Templo Mayor in Mexico City.

She turns to stone and her spirit rises to the heavens and forms the moon. Moon is mixti o metl. Metl, which is Mezcal. So we have the starts and the moon. So then after creating man, there was only darkness. So the Gods get together and decide to create a star which will give light and warmth to all the humans. So they make a sun of water, which in Nauhatl is atl. And sun is totnatu, so the sun made of water is atltonato.

Like Tonala is the ciudad del Sol? (Gwyn)
No, [pendejo], Tonala is where the sun rises…

So this sun, when its rays are emitted, they’re water, so the humans have to become fish to survive because there’s a flood. You see how this is like the jewish tradition, with fratricide, a flood… So that’s water. Like with Mayahuel

They got rid of this sun, and made a new one so called the Sun of the Ocelot, the nahuat name for tiger. It’s a sun that stays there in the sky without moving. So the humans born under this sun are born giants, and they have to eat the vegetables, but when they fall to the earth that’s so hot, that it eats them up. They all end up being eaten up by the tigers.

Then comes quiagua, the brother or Tlaloq (water of rain), and quiagua (water of fire, water from volcanoes). So now we have oceans, and marine life, and deserts, now we need volcanoes. So humans to save themselves from the volcanoes have to become birds and fly away. So that’s how they explain the existence of birds.

Then comes the 4th sun, acatl, wind. Strong winds blow and all the human disperse throughout the world and turn into monkeys. So it’s all explained, there’s sea, mountains, desert, all kinds of animals. And they’re seeing that the sun’s still not how they want it, so each time all the humans all die they keep their bones and spread them like seeds and this god defecated on their bones. They were all pissed off at him for having dirtied the humans’ bones, and that’s why we humans get ill. He’s called Nanahuatzin, he says what humanity needs is a sun that moves, which makes night and day. So he goes into the fire and becomes the man of fire and goes to heaven. You’ll see El Hombre de Fuego in el centro Cabanas. He is nahuatzin, who goes to heaven in the form of the sun. But look, si if you cover this part of his name, what does it say? Nahuat. The tribe who look after the sun. This is represented here in the Stone of Sun. Here, the 1st sun, of water, 2nd of the tiger, 3rd of quiagua (representation of a crocodile) and 4th of wind. This is the 5th sun. It has its blond hair and a tongue in the shape of an obsidian knife because it’s asking for sacrifice of human beings. Why? Because he needs the strength, because in the (Mixlan) night there’s a bad star who wants to kill the sun. We’ll talk about him later.

So that’s why they wanted to kill humans.

Yes it was to give the sun strength to attack the star that wanted to kill the sun. So this sun, so it doesn’t fall out of the firmament, has claws and holds on tight to the universe. And here are the symbols of the numbers, 2, 0, 1, 2. 2012 which is the year when the 5th sun is supposed to end. Right now we’re in the 5th sun’s reign. So they had to remove the hearts to battle against the stars that were devourers of light. This is xiximitl,

Mayahuel’s grandmother?

Yes, here she is.
END OF SIDE 1

Rumsfeld out and a Democrat majority in the House of Representatives. Still doesn’t fill me with hope for a brighter future but it’s a step in the right direction. Here’s Steven Colbert’s take on it.
