No chocolate, Wireman? I´ll send you some tons...! We are chocolate fans here during Easter (despite the prices!):... eggs, chickens, rabbits, kittys, football shields, whatever...!
Last week I´ve seen the three first chapters of House of Cards (thanks to my sobrino who insisted in sharing with me their Netflix account)... far away more verosímil than Obama´s performance & words here... Welcome to the reality... !

No more series this week (at least that´s the plan). I have to focus!

maybe we can sink more chinese fishing ships with that or ...
I still have to focus: I have 140 exams to correct, informes to do and the school acto of the 2nd of April at my charge, a week full of discipline or disciplinamiento... (no sure at all about it after 20 years of teaching... ! )

I still didn´t buy the book I wanted to read three weeks ago but this one found me instead... : it´s more 2001 oriented & it´s supposedly non fiction ...

Re: feel free to choose a topic!
Bringing down Ms. Rousseff — even on charges unrelated to the original corruption investigation — would be a nice season finale to Operation Car Wash: a catharsis of epic proportions. It would also provide corrupt, right-wing politicians, the largest constituency in Congress, with a reprieve from public scrutiny.
The inspiration for this strategy is Eduardo Cunha, the head of Brazil’s lower house, who has led the impeachment charge. At the same time that he was starting the impeachment process against Ms. Rousseff, he was being investigated on corruption charges that include money laundering and taking bribes. So far, his strategy of muddying the waters has worked perfectly: The impeachment proceedings have continued and shifted the focus away from Mr. Cunha’s own legal problems. Many of the members of Congress who voted for impeachment on Sunday are hoping they’ll enjoy the same good fortune.

Well everybody seemed to "wake up" here and there are a lot of dogs already in search of the "K cash route" and their artífices (with tons of moraline in their pockets)...who may include of course Cristina Kirchner too..
I´m not really bothered at all for that (I already suspected the corrupt side of the Kirchners and I guess everybody already had some evidence) but I´m disgusted and preocuppied about what the actual government is doing at the same time while this is happening and thanks it is happening.... Gracias for the link, s-t!
Meanwhile last week while working at home I revisited (via youtube) people I first listened to talk right after the 2001 to know what they are talking about now. It´s good at times to listen about the risks of the modelo desarrollista and the "corruption" as necessary fuel for capitalism beyond my own mind...

Yeah, it´s sad to see the new contagious tendency in countries where we have already seen & suffered several terrible contagious tendencies : raw oligarchies ruling, dictatorships , neoliberalism suicide... Where is the Big Brother to just go and hit him...?

Como sea, del otro lado está claro que el kirchnerismo fue una gran oportunidad perdida para este país. No gustará que se diga, y qué lástima, pero sería sano reconocer que como proceso reformista pudo y debió ser más consistente. Y esta opinión de esta columna no es de ahora. El kirchnerismo pudo y debió ser el inicio de una transformación política, económica y social, que se frustró. Produjo algunos hechos fenomenales, claro está, y nadie negará que realizó cambios culturales importantes, pero en el intento de remover estructuras no fue profundo. Y muchos, muchísimos de los que lo apoyamos lo hicimos con la buena leche de ayudarlos a esas remociones.
Se dirá que es fácil decirlo ahora, pero esta columna y muchos/as más lo dijimos durante todos estos años. Y a la postre el hecho triste, solitario y final es que en términos de evolución, despegue y afirmación de otro modelo más justo, más libre y más soberano, hemos fracasado en el intento. Y el plural vale y se sostiene porque no sólo fueron el gobierno, Néstor o Cristina los responsables. También la ciudadanía, que no cambió la más fea y acendrada de las características argentinas: el conservadurismo. Ni el peor de sus rasgos colectivos: el resentimiento.

Re: feel free to choose a topic!
some weeks with the computer vanishing after twenty minutes of working until I decided to give it a fix, now running as usual... I discovered that the thing I missed more during that time was not having online music, I could only sintonize some FM radios with the old equipo and not more than that ...
More random music I´ve been listening:

I like the musical take they did for the somehow irritating word "survivor"... I dedicate this one to a friend & circular dances teacher that yesterday was in Istambul´s airport ... we don´t know much about her right now except that she is SAFE and that´s more than enough...!! She was in a scale to Israel to be in the weddings of her daughter and her nephew... dance, dance friend!!!!
Re: feel free to choose a topic!
a Bicentenario with a little broken, let´s call it, faith... & with a sort of 1910 deja vus (plus a lot of austerity attitude, this time!). The closest thing to a popular & more massive fest in my city is this one:

Chacareras´s vértigo & energy to rise our spirits, cheers...!
