One of my favorite traditional Mexican songs is la Llorona, a version of the piece can be found on the Frida soundtrack. When I was living in Veracruz we used to sing it in school but we never took on more than 4 or 5 verses, come to find out there are over 33 of them. One that we never sang follows:
De tarde se me hace triste, Llorona,
de noche con más dolor;
suspirando me amanece, Llorona,
llorando me sale el sol.
Afternoon is saddened, Llorona
The night holds more pain
The dawn finds me sighing, Llorona
And only tears for the sun's rays
I cheated a little bit there for the sake of the rhyme. It's a great song, I'm going to try to find it outside of the Frida soundtrack. Something more traditional.

SPF 4500
I'm enjoying the sunshine in San Francisco, don't get me wrong yet I am concerned that it's 70 degrees and it's February. Global warming, oh you better believe it, go read this http://civic.moveon.org/gore3//speech.html and be worried with me. Make sure you check out Carl Sagan's quote at the very bottom of the page.
Just for the record I never used Aqua Net.

Saturn
I cut my finger on one of the locks in one of the stalls. A lock I’ve locked and unlocked a myriad of times, I can’t explain why I was so off this time around. The nick is on my Saturn finger, right between my fingernail and my knuckle, not on my stigmata hand but on my other one. It’s a vertical cut and nearly half a millimeter in length but judging by the pain I surely thought the cut ran down the length of my entire finger. But the pain was deceiving still a nice reservoir of bright red blood sits there just below the surface, reminding me I’m alive.
