Lloyd: What are the chances of a guy like you and a girl like me… ending up together?
Mary: Well, that’s pretty difficult to say.
Lloyd: Hit me with it! I’ve come a long way to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I’d say more like one out of a million.

Lloyd: So you’re telling me there’s a chance.

Let´s go Raptors!

nacHo — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 10:32:12 +0000

Uno de los deportes más espectaculares del mundo y con más seguimiento mediático mundial comenzó su temporada 2007/08 la noche del martes 30 de Octubre. Contará con los favoritos de siempre San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers y unos renovados Boston Celtics. Atras queda la temporada 2006/07 donde los Spurs, liderados por un inmenso Tony Parker se alzarón con el titulo derrotando en la final a los Cleveland Cavaliers de LeBrone James.

Que envidia me dan mis amigos que todavia estan en Toronto porque podrán volver a ver a los Raptors! Yohei ya me ha dicho que estan buscando entradas. Como resumen os dejo con un video de las mejores 10 jugadas de la temporada pasada.

One of the most espectaculars sports in the world and with more world mediatic coverage started the season 2007/08 yesterday October 30th. As always, the favorites are San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers and the new Boston Celtics. Last season the San Antonio Spurs were the champion with an incredible Tony Parker, defeating in the final the Cavaliers of LeBrone James.

I am envious of my Toronto´s friends because they can see again the Raptors! Yohei told me that they are looking for tickets for the next games. As a summary I want to show you the best 10 plays of the last season. Enjoy it!

Memorable quotes for… The Matrix (1999)

nacHo — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 14:44:11 +0000

Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
.

.
Tank: We’re supposed to start with these operation programs first. That’s major boring shit. Let’s do something a little more fun. How about… combat training.
Neo: Ju jitsu? I’m gonna learn Ju jitsu.
[Tank winks and loads the program]
Neo: Holy shit!
Tank: Hey Mikey, I think he likes it. How about some more?
Neo: Hell, yes. Hell yeah.
.

.
Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That’s impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you’ll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
.

.
Oracle: I’d ask you to sit down, but, you’re not going to anyway. And don’t worry about the vase.
Neo: What vase?
[Neo turns to look for a vase, and as he does, he knocks over a vase of flowers, which shatters on the floor]
Oracle: That vase.
Neo: I’m sorry…
Oracle: I said don’t worry about it. I’ll get one of my kids to fix it.
Neo: How did you know?
Oracle: Ohh, what’s really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have broken it if I hadn’t said anything?
.

.
Neo: Yeah. That sounds like a really good deal. But I got a better one. How about… I give you the finger… and you give me my phone call?
Agent Smith: Mr. Anderson… you disappoint me.
Neo: You can’t scare me with this Gestapo crap. I know my rights. I want my phone call.
Agent Smith: Tell me, Mr. Anderson… what good is a phone call… if you’re unable to speak?
.

Morpheus: How did I beat you?
Neo: You… you’re too fast.
Morpheus: Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? Do you think that’s air you’re breathing now?
.

.
[last lines]
Neo: I know you’re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you’re afraid… you’re afraid of us. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it’s going to begin. I’m going to hang up this phone, and then I’m going to show these people what you don’t want them to see. I’m going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.

Mañana 26 de Octubre, el Leopardo que tanto tiempo ha estado durmiendo despierta para empezar a meterse en nuestros ordenadores. Se lanza el nuevo sistema operativo de Apple, el Mac OS X Leopard. Si Tiger ya le daba mil vueltas al recien estrenado Microsoft Vista que no hará este?

Memorable quotes for… The Princess Bride (1987)

nacHo — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 19:01:05 +0000

[Vizzini has just cut the rope The Dread Pirate Roberts is climbing up]
Vizzini: HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Iñigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
.

Iñigo Montoya: You are using Bonetti’s Defense against me, ah?
Man in Black: I thought it fitting considering the rocky terrain.
Iñigo Montoya: Naturally, you must suspect me to attack with Capa Ferro?
Man in Black: Naturally… but I find that Thibault cancels out Capa Ferro. Don’t you?
Iñigo Montoya: Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa… which I have.
.

[fencing]
Iñigo Montoya: You are wonderful.
Man in Black: Thank you; I’ve worked hard to become so.
Iñigo Montoya: I admit it, you are better than I am.
Man in Black: Then why are you smiling?
Iñigo Montoya: Because I know something you don’t know.
Man in Black: And what is that?
Iñigo Montoya: I… am not left-handed.
[Moves his sword to his right hand and gains an advantage]
Man in Black: You are amazing.
Iñigo Montoya: I ought to be, after 20 years.
Man in Black: Oh, there’s something I ought to tell you.
Iñigo Montoya: Tell me.
Man in Black: I’m not left-handed either.
[Moves his sword to his right hand and regains his advantage]
.

[after Westley rescues her from the lightning quicksand]
Buttercup: We’ll never succeed. We may as well die here.
Westley: No, no. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt – no problem. There’s a popping sound preceding each; we can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand, which you were clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid that too.
Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.’s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.
[Immediately, an R.O.U.S. attacks him]
.

Iñigo Montoya: My father was slaughtered by a six-fingered man. He was a great swordmaker, my father. When the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword. My father took the job. He slaved a year before it was done.
[Shows the Man in Black the sword]
Man in Black: I’ve never seen its equal.
Iñigo Montoya: The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price, my father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father. So naturally, I challenged his murderer to a duel. I failed. The six-fingered man left me alive, but he gave me these.
[strokes the scars on his cheeks]
Man in Black: How old were you?
Iñigo Montoya: I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, “Hello. My name is Iñigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.“

My new toy :)

nacHo — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 10:08:53 +0000

Hi everybody! Why I havent written in the blog the last days? because I have new toy! As you know I had some problems with my old cell phone so I decided to buy a new one. The problem was that I wanted to buy a new ipod too because I sold my last mp3 because it was incompatible with my PowerBook. I think It was clear, I need a cellphone and I need an ipod… This is the result:

What can I say? Is the most awesome gadget I´ve never seen. The multitouch screen is like a new experience with a quality never seen, if you have spend time putting the covers of the albums the Cover Flow function is amazing, everything is easy to use, everything is Apple.

Although I am in love with it, there are some problems that I think they must fix for next versions:

- No character count when you are writing a SMS. How can I know when I write 160 characters?

- If you want to use no apple headphones you need an adapter because the entrance is too thin for a regular headphone.

- No spanish keyboard (no Ñ), but I can understand it because the iphone is only for US.

- In contacts you can add the birthday date but it is not added automatically to the Calendar. I cant understand why.

- The sound of the earpiece is not enought (with ambiental noise I cant hear anything!). I couldnt find anything to put the volume up.

Anyway, after this I have to say… best cellphone ever! My actual desk:

King Leonidas: Earth and water? You’ll find plenty of both down there.
Messenger: No man, Persian or Greek, no man threatens a messenger!
