Quiero que sepas una cosa.
Tú sabes cómo es esto:
si miro la luna de cristal, la rama roja
del lento otoño en mi ventana,
si toco junto al fuego
la impalpable ceniza
o el arrugado cuerpo de la leña,
todo me lleva a ti,
como si todo lo que existe,
aromas, luz, metales,
fueran pequeños barcos que navegan
hacia las islas tuyas que me aguardan.
Ahora bien,
si poco a poco dejas de quererme
dejaré de quererte poco a poco.
Si de pronto me olvidas
no me busques,
que ya te habré olvidado.
Si consideras largo y loco
el viento de banderas
que pasa por mi vida
y te decides a dejarme a la orilla
del corazón en que tengo raíces,

When I went to Colombia for the Holidays, two days before coming back to Canada, my mom called me into her room and she had her jewels on the bed. She told me it was time to pass them to me because she wasn't going to use them anymore (dad died, she doesn't go out to parties anymore, and she keeps what she uses in a separate box). At first I said no because I felt a big responsibility by carrying all that gold with me, but I finally accepted (leaving some to her, though); they aren't too many, but ...
Ok, now that my curiousity has been satisfied and that I have a Gmail account thanks to my friend K, here is my insight: Apart from the hyper-mega-big inbox, there's nothing absolutely fantastic about it. The address book, for example, I hate that thing. Maybe because I've been using the most cool Yahoo! Address Book for too long and I like the way you can manage your contacts, import other addresses and such. Gmail has a very poor address book interface and I don't like that dropdown thingy when you want to compose a message. I know it's a BETA ...
Have I mentioned how much I'm loving Firefox and Thunderbird? Let me tell you... I don't know what kept me under the wing of evil Bill for so many years. Ok, I HATED Netscape with all my heart because my first computer used to froze every time a Java application came up and since then I doomed Netscape. Anyway, I'm really happy with Mozilla's programs; they're fast, they're user friendly, they're "handsome" (heh!) and with Thunderbird I can have folders created automatically for every account (sweet!). The only thing that was bugging me about Firefox was actually my fault: My ...
Patrice isn't a "planning" kind of guy and that's probably one of the reasons why I love him so much. He just surprises me with stuff I have no idea he's thinking of and we have so much fun that way. Today, for example, was one of those spontaneous days of his and it served me quite well. I had been nagging him to take me to Ottawa for MONTHS because I wanted to see Canada's capital city, but he never paid attention to me (or so I thought!) and I was sure he just didn't want to go, but ...
