...SERIOUSLY!!!

- Love gave me a big slap recently, i must recall it everytime i'm starting to love someone again.
- I like cold weather, i like to wear a lot of shirts and sweaters and jackets at the same time.
- I'm listening to pop music more than usual, it helps to avoid thinking about sad things... Madonna's music is growing on me a lot!
- You should really listen to Fever Ray, it's quite a trip everytime i listen to it. Aunque suene bien fantoche cabroncitos!!! Ayyy!!!
- I have a feeling this year is going to be a way lot better than last, but i must keep my mind closed to it, i don't want to have great expectations about the future, something might go wrong.

I want to be swept off my feet, because when that happens it's like 1-0 against boredom and death.

I just want you to bring me the peace i lost on October 4th this year... You just know what to do.

Thanks!

Our friend Jim from USA, sent Igor an e-mail, he wanted to save us some translation work and let google to do the hard work, it turned into something real funny if you speak spanish:

Hola Mauricio. Estoy detrás en los Estados Unidos. Tenía un accidente pequeño en Agua Calientes en la manera a través e hice una cierta lesión a mi rodilla. Será aceptable con una cierta hora.

LE AGRADEZCO mucho por todos sus kindess y amistad y no puedo esperar para verle otra vez. ¡GRACIAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the english version, not that funny but filled with great feelings:

Hello Mauricio. I am back in the United States. I had a small accident in Agua Calientes on the way thru and did some injury to my knee. It will be okay with some time. My friends here in Gallup can not understand why I have such a big smile with a hurt knee. They do not understand the friends and memories I have from my trip. I THANK all of you very much for all your kindess and friendship and can not wait to see all of you again. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! I need a mailing address so when I make a picture cd I can send it to you guys. Jim.

On November 26th, 2008, an offical email was sent by Frau Rabid, stating that The Knife would be composing all new original music for an Opera. "In November 2009, it is precisely 150 years since Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, a work that describes the biological and geological world, as it has come into existence and continues to do so every single day. Our view of the world has been changed for ever as a result of the theory of evolution. Tomorrow, in a year uses Darwin’s way of observing and describing the world. Change as a process and the interrelationship of all things is the basic material of the performance."

Olof Dreijer is now at a field recording in the Amazon to record animals, fish and plants.

City's Balloon Festival begins tomorrow, today we (the crew) went to meet Elisa and Ken and got things prepared for tomorrow. I met a guy named Chris and his girlfriend, they're very nice persons, quite serious but pretty cool, they own a balloon named 'Foreplay' and gave me a pin with their balloon's name on it, how cool is that ehhh??? I have to confess that i didn't know what foreplay means in spanish until Elisa told me, i felt quite stupid!

Hard work and plenty of beer awaits me, i'm pretty happy about leaving the routine and having a great time with old friends doing things i don't usually do in my normal life... i'm taking my camera to take a lot of pics to share. I'll update a soon as possible.

I'm using instant messenger right now and this is what i noticed: My closest friends and i have depressive quotes on our nicknames... how sad.

k0laf's: I don't want to dream. - Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die.

Raul's: What the hell am i doin' here??

Pepis's: Wish i knew what you were looking for...

Ademar's: Last Day on Earth.

Mine's: I feel like 10 spring onions are going to burst out of my chest like in "Alien". Do you know that feeling?


Seems like i'm not the only one suffering...

I never knew this could happen to me
I know now fragility
I know there's people who I haven't told
I know of people who are getting old

Wish I could speak in just one sweep
What you are and what you mean to me
Instead I mumble randomly
You stand by and enlighten me

In a dream I lost my teeth again
Calling me woman and half man
Yes in a dream all my teeth fell out
A cracked smile and a silent shout

If I explain it once thoroughly
He'll have you later 'cause it's never free
You were at the gigantic spree
I caught a glimpse now it haunts me
