El celebérrimo video censurado de Molotov para Televisa Deportes abajo.
La historia aquí y aquí.
Lo más cómico del asunto es que en el portal de Televisa esmas.com ya le tenían sitio guardado, pero no sé por qué no lo pusieron, ja.
Yo sólo me pregunto, si ya saben cómo son los de Molotov, y la relación previa que han tenido con Televisa (sólo basta recordar “Que no te haga bobo Jacobo” o “El Carnal de las Estrellas”), ¿cómo se les ocurre pedirles una canción?
Today is the 20th anniversary of the Challenger space shuttle disaster. I remember watching the TV news, wondering what that all meant. I still believe in space exploration, but wonder if we will ever get to solve or manage our problems in Earth first or whether it will be used as an escape valve.
A todos los que me enseñaron algo, ya sea en la escuela o fuera de ella, gracias.

The classes we’re now taking in our second semester are in a way a marked improvement on those we took in the first (which is understandable given that we needed to expand on a common knowledge base). With subjects such as Political Environment of Business, International Accounting and Reporting, Financial Management, Global Information Systems (which I don’t need to take as I’ve worked on that field before), Doing business in Latin America and China or International Marketing this seems to be a more fun period than the one before.
Some people in our class have the same problem I’m having now. After two very intensive exam weeks, we can’t get asleep. Tonight I fell semi-dead in bed around 9 p.m., but at 1:30 I woke up and I still can’t sleep.
Let’s hope it’s not the start of a trend.

Leyendo la columna de Katia D’Artigues, me enteré que los cárteles de la droga video se mandan videoamenazas en YouTube(cada link de estos cuatro es una diferente). En una versión mexicana de los gangsta rappers, un cantante de narcocorridos fue muerto por los Zetas del cártel del Golfo por cantar una canción que le encargaron sus rivales del cártel del Pacífico. Ellos se han estado peleando por la ciudad de Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, durante los últimos tres años, y la situación se ha puesto muy peligrosa. A tal grado ha llegado el país.
Mientras tanto, los analistas políticos dicen que así por internet los cárteles se mandan mensajes en clave. A mí esos videos me pareció que clave no tienen, al contrario, están claritos, claritos.
Así ni cómo regresar.
Update: Ya hasta Reuters tiene la historia. Yo me la encontré en The Register.
Babel received 7 nominations (including best director and best picture), El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan’s Labrynth) 6 (including best foreign language film) and Children of Men 3.
I found the best quote about the three movies in a Brazilian website:
“Del Toro, Alejando González Iñárritu and Alfonso Cuarón are examples of movie makers that never stopped giving their own touch to their productions, regardless of being tied to big studios. Coincidentially, or not, all three are nationals of a country that still today is treated with disdain by the Americans. The prejudices won’t end any time soon, but their talent and their success is the best answer.”
In other news, the Spanish are also happy. Penélope Cruz is also nominated for best actress, some Spanish documentaries are in the fray, and the possible success of Laberinto del Fauno (Pan’s Labrynth) is also theirs, as a big part of the staff and all of the actors are Spanish.
Gustavo Santaolalla from Argentina created the score for Babel, and he’s also in the running.
I hope they all win, but of course the competion is tough.
A reload of the Apertura 2006 final, Chivas received Toluca at the Jalisco stadium for the 1st matchday of the new tournament. In between the two games Oswaldo Sánchez, former captain, goalkeeper and idol, was sold to Santos Laguna and Ramoncito Morales was chosen in his place. Chivas was also selected by the IFFHS as the 24th best football team in the world, which doesn’t sound too bad either.
According to the news reports Saturday’s game was entertaining, with Chivas tying at the last minute with a sublime freekick from our new captain.
More information at mediotiempo.com, the video highlights below.
In other news, Hugo Sánchez had his first team training with the national team as new coach today. Twelve players have been called from those that went to the World Cup in Germany last year, and there are 8 players from Chivas.
I really like the new Adidas uniforms. Nike is not providing them anymore as their contract ran out, and the Mexican Football Federation didn’t renew their contract for two reasons: Adidas’s offer was better and Nike had serious problems meeting jersey demand from the public during the WC.
Tuna stocks have declined worldwide to an alarming extent. While searching for fish for sushi, my girlfriend didn’t allow me to buy tuna because “she wants our children to be able to eat it as well”. I agree, but I think that, hopefully, market economics will kick in and make it more expensive to buy, so less people will buy it until supplies replenish.
But in case that doesn’t work as markets aren’t perfect, there is an international meeting going on focusing on tuna stocks.
