Music, music, music and more music... All time every time.

Saturday Night Milangas

Super fantastic and amazing milanesas.
This time real milanesas, I mean fried milanesas, with vegetable oil, as opposed as the usual ones we regularly eat, which are oven baked.
Also, oven baked BBQ spiced potatoes, which were truly amazing, once again.
Everything, of course, lovingly made by the GF.

The Current Debian Desktop

The first one from the X220i.
Sparse, minimal, simple... Yes, all of it and more!

Jumbo Ad Blocking

Damn... This is on Spotify, running for something like 24 hrs straight.

Put The i On The X220

Will see how this goes, etc, etc, etc...

Random Shit I've Been Watching Lately

A couple of movies I've somehow been able to watch lately...

Hesher:
The indie one of the bunch, one of those mixed genre, modern films.
Nice one.

Tolkien:
Nice one, used to love Tolkien books when I was a young kid.

Saints and Soldiers:
Nope, not at all... Don't even understand what they see on this one.

The Great Hack:
Maybe I'm a cynic but every single one of the discoveries from this documentary seems pretty obvious.

They All Laughed:
Not even Robby Müller's cinematography on am early 80's NYC helps on this one...

Like a mad man!!! Another thousand up!!!
Scrobbles, scrobbles and more scrobbles!!!!

Movies During The Weekend

Only one movie last weekend... It was a rather atypical one, not only because of the freak weather, but also because I had really early start and had sort of a truncated Sunday.

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid:Man!! I loved this one, many times it was like I was watching it for the first time -for the GF it was indeed her first time watching this classic modern western-.
It aged wonderfully, IMHO.

Nose Dive!!!!

Yeah, the cruel joke is over...
Things are back to normal, let's hope it remains like this forever.

Saturday Night Chow Mein

A new tradition seems to be raising around here...
Since the GF is having sort of a "Chinese culinary moment" who am I to stop her?
Besides, I get the benefit of these amazing exotic plates from the other side of the world.

266K and counting!

Yup, another thousand up.
This year is pure music.

The Current Debian Desktop

A little something, my i3 desktop screnshot from the trusty T43.
Have to fix a small glitch with the Wifi on i3status bar... Since I've changed from the PCMCIA card to the internal Wifi one, i3status went bollocks and refuses to show the strength percentage and the SSID name... Go figure...

Winter Left Us Cold (Or Not So Much...)

Unbelievable... After a cold front, with a  peak two weeks ago, we are now on 25 plus...
So much for winter, god damn it!

A Slice of Chocotorta

It is more like a Slice of Heaven...
Damn me if this thing isn't good...
The Chocotorta that the GF makes sometimes, a truly delicious mix of chocolate cookies, sour cream, dulce de leche and coffee.

More Buster on Old Hardware

After installing Buster on the old TravelMate 2440 earlier this past week, it was time to test it on the trusty Sony Vaio PCG-FRV37.
The lappie it is a beast and it makes a hell of a noise with its ever blowing fan (this is the biggest drawback of this lappie), but, damn if the keyboard isn't amazing...
Installed Buster on it so I don't have to keep updating stuff all the time, obviously i3 as the Window Manager.

Project X: The New Breed

A new Project X is on the rise... It was had its kick start last weekend.
This time a project made out of cloth, unlike the last one, that was made of wood.

Sunday Night Chow Fan

A steamy and truly magnificent plate of home made (of course, not only home, but also lovingly made by the GF) Chow Fan.
Amazing and unbelievable good.

(No) Movies During The Weekend

No time for movies during the weekend, we were really beaten so we slept quite a bit.
No rain, but cold and a few things to do here and there made impossible for us to watch a single movie this time.

265K and counting!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...
Another thousand up.

Mind You, Buster!

It was time.
Today along the days chores got to replace the old, now unsupported, Linux Mint 17 XFCE installation on the old and trusty Acer TravelMate with a brand new and shiny Debian Buster install.
No problems with the install, did a really bare-bones one, nothing except SSH and Standard System Utilities.
i3 as the WM, VLC, Firefox and Transmission... the poor little lappie can't handle much else than that, and then some...

Saturday Night Milangas

An amazing milanesa napolitana! Steamy and incredibly hot (burnt like Hell, but it was delicious!).
Of course, lovingly made by hand by the one and only GF.
With the usual oven baked potatoes topping.

264K and counting!

And another thousand up, you god damn right, you are!
Music, more music and more music.

T43: Kernel Panic After Suspend

My little and trusty T43 has a little problem...
It fails to come back from a Suspend, it simply hangs with error message.
Only option to bring it back to life is to do a hard reboot.

Monday Night Chow Mein

A fantastic, deliciously steamy and huge (!!!) plate of Chow Mein, this past Monday.
As usual, lovingly made by the GF.

Sunday Night Milangas

Another anomaly.
Milanesas on a Sunday!!!
Mighty good ones, I should add, lovingly made by the GF, with oven cooked potatoes and an extra (not pictured) delicious chard tart.

263K and counting!

Yes, another thousand up.
Yadda Yadda Yadda, Scrobble, Scrobble, Scrobble.

Movies During The Weekend

After a weekend with no movies, we had a jumbo sized one, a holiday upon a holiday... One of those Argentine inventions... And of course, it was filled with a very mixed bag of movies.

Barfly:
I watched -re-watched actually- this one, the GF slept thru this one out.
Guess I saw it 20 years ago or so.
As usual, Robby Müller's photography is amazing.

Prediction by Numbers:
A nice Netflix documentary, a mixed bag with just about everything.

Thunderheart:
A re-watch for me, first time for the GF.
Nice one, it aged really well.

Pet Sematary:
The new one, from this same 2019; which, I guess, is better than the fist movie but completely different than the original book.

Shazam!:
It was actually funny, not quite funny, but funny.

Saturday Night Pasta

Yes, dudes, yes... Pasta on a Saturday night!
Hell freezes over!
Ricotta raviolis on a frigid Saturday night (hell freezes over, get it?), with boiled carrots the Mighty GF Stew and grilled cheese.

Nano Tangerines (XX)

Almost two months since the last report -or post- on the little tangerines...
They are still going strong despite the winter.

262K and counting!

Yup, that is correct, another thousand up.
Scrobbles, scrobbles and more scrobbles.

The Current Debian Desktop

Another screenshot of how my Debian (daily driver) desktop looks nowadays on the trusty and lovely Optiplex 755 and sporting some Adapta love!

Nose Dive!!!!

Seems like the peak was Friday night/ Saturday at dawn.
For what I heard, from now on is upwards.

Random Shit I've Been Watching Lately

This past week I've been watching (and mostly re-watching) old movies that I've seeing many, many years ago and that I've had on queue for quite some time.

Conquest of Space:
Not sure, but I think I've seeing this one on TV way back when.
I loved it. The best of the bunch.

Miracle of St. Anna:
Man, this one has to be the worst of the whole bunch... Except maybe for the next movie...

12 feet Deep:
This one, really, really, really but sucks.

The Last Flight of Noah's Ark:
I've seeing this one on the cinema when I was a kid, what a mixture of just about everything you can think of thrown onto a single movie.

Rules of Engagement:
Boy oh boy... Why did I re-watched this? A boring and overlong flick that tries to live off the glory of "A Few Good Men".

Killing Zoe:
Dude, this one really deserved a re-watch. Back when things were much, much uncomplicated.

Far and Away:

I really don't know why, but I re-watched it. I guess mostly because I have it. Nothing much to say, I guess...

Nose Dive!!!

Yup, it goes on and on and on...
It seems like this cold front is here to stay, but there are no forecasts for snow on Buenos Aires, at least for now, maybe, maybe, we can repeat the glorious July 9th from 2007.

Sunday Night Pasta

A sh*t load of food for a really, really cold Sunday night.
Ricotta ravioli with boiled carrots, a bit of the left over potato omelette from Saturday of course everything drowned on the famous GF Stew.

261K and counting!

Yup, another thousand up.
Music, music, music and more music and music.
Also, the folks at Last.fm did a nice face lift on their page.

Nose Dive!!!

A real nose dive, dude!
An amazing cold front is sweeping thru Buenos Aires these days, may we all take a minute to cherish and remember this so called "cold days" when the fucking summer comes.

(No) Movies During The Weekend

Well... This past weekend we didn't had time to watch a single movie...
Unlike the previous one, when we got to see a sh*t load of movies, this one it was a waste land when it comes to movies... We choose to sleep instead.

Saturday Night Milangas

Amazing milanesas with potato omelette as side topping for a frigid and humid Saturday night.
As usual, lovingly made by the GF.
