The old classic!

Por fin os puedo compartir este post… que va cargadito de ilusión… aunque ahora ya repuesta, y con las neuronas frescas vengo a contaros como fue todo!!!..

    

Lo increíble que puede ser, conocer a gente por internet.. no solo se consiguen grandes amores, si no amistades irrompibles.

    

Este es el caso de Diana y mio, nos conocimos en un foro de perritos.. sí! De perritos… ella y yo tenemos yorkies, y eso fue lo que poco a poco en cada conversación hizo nuestra amistad tan fuerte.

    

El año pasado decidieron dar el sí ante el altar, y aunque es verdad… os debo las fotos de los novios, hoy quiero compartirles el momento tan emotivo que vivimos sus amigos y familia el día de su baby shower.

    

Habichuela, como así le llamo, al ser pequeñito que por ahora vive en la barriguita de Diana, sorprendió a muchos con su llegada, y aunque mas la mami que el papi, siempre va con nervios que espera que todo salga bien ( supongo que todas las mamis pasan por eso ) … a día de hoy, el embarazo va muy bien.

    

Tal vez este baby shower, fue tan premeditado, antes que fuese concebido habichuela… sabéis esas conversaciones locas q uno tiene, y empieza diciendo.. pues cuando me saque la lotería… pillaré esto o lo otro?..... algo parecido pasó con nosotras, diciendo, el día que tengas una bebe, hay que hacer un baby shower!!!, y es que claro, aquí en España no se suele vivir así, aunque, esto va entrando poco a poco.

    

Con todas las ilusiones puestas, me puse en ello, y aunque confieso que fue muuuuuy agotador, sobre todo por terminar pedidos en Barcelona, cuadrar todo lo del curso, y proyectos que por ahora … no os puedo contar.. todo se me hizo muy grande.

    

Llegue a Valencia, con la tarta para 40 personas, sobre las piernas, no podía ni moverme ni un poquito por miedo a que se estropeara algo, 4 horas en coche … una tortura!, sin embargo, puedo decir que VALIO LA PENA!!!!... como le digo a Diana… por mi habichuela… todo y más!!!...

    

40 galletas decoradas con fondant, y cerca de 70 mini cupcakes, de crema de queso con mago, y chocolate con almendra, fueron lo que acompañaron a la mesa dulce.

    

Todo decorado con mis ilustraciones de niña y niño… fue un momento tan pero tan bonito… que me da nostalgia recordarlo.

    

Lo curioso de todo, que fui la primera en enterarme que Habichuela venía a este mundo y como guinda del pastel, fui la única que sabía si era niño o niña, al momento de hacerle la eco a ella, solo estaba ella y el marido, evidentemente, el doctor se lo dijo a Javi, y este me lo dijo a mi, para poder realizar toda la fiesta, confieso que guardar tremeeeeeendo secreto fue horrible!! Mas cuando a diario conversaba con ella, y hablar del bebe en masculino o femenino era delicado.

    

Y la pregunta es… y como revelabais si era niña o niño? .. muy fácil! Solo tenían que partir el pastel, y dependiendo del color del bizcocho, rosa o celeste, se sabía que era ¡!!.. a muchos se nos escapó la lagrimita… fue un momento completamente memorable!!!...

    

Aquí os dejo todo el reportaje fotográfico, bastante largo, pero muy completo! Que espero que os guste mucho.

    

En breve subiré a nuestra tienda de Artesanio, toda la colección de babyshower para vuestra mesa dulce.

    

Una vez mas, muchísimas gracias por leernos ^__^

 

Fanno fatica i miei neuroni in un'afosa giornata estiva a carburare.

 

Ho caldo, ho davvero caldo.

 

Sono buttata sul letto avvolta da apatia e sudore, a braccia aperte. Stamattina non ho nemmeno fatto il letto.

 

Guardo in aria e come al solito mi aspetto che la madonna vestita con body nero e calze a rete scenda per darmi la definitiva benedizione e consacrarmi alla follia o concedermi il beneficio dell'illuminazione divina. E come al solito invece la vergine puttana non esiste e io in un semicollasso spontaneo perdo ogni logica e mi abbandono alla mia solita masturbazione mentale (che non porta assolutamente nessun beneficio, ma, al contrario, danneggia gravemente). E penso alle cose più svariate...

 

Cazzo! I "becchi di cicogna" sono davvero antiestetici, la testa mi prude, dovrei andare a fare una doccia. Mi rompo troppo. Dopo. Io mantengo la parola data!

 

Già, oggi è la classica giornata rotta di cazzo, quando le palle girano a mille e quando fai il resoconto degli ultimi avvenimenti, perchè ancora non avevi avuto il tempo di fermarti a riflettere.

 

Sdegno, c'è tanto sdegno nell'aria perchè penso alle tante parole dette e ascoltate : INUTILI.

 

Non arrivo a capire molte cose, e mentre il computer emana musiche ministriche penso al caos da big bang che ho nella testa, penso alle responsabilità di cui potrei e vorrei lavarmi le mani e che invece si accumulano e mi fanno sentire in colpa anche di cose di cui non dovrei. Penso ai giochetti delle persone, penso allo scomparire e ricomparire di illusionistiprendiperculo, penso a falsi sorrisi di opportunisti. Penso alle promesse degli amici, che amo, follemente, ma che non ci sono, che sono "momentaneamente" impegnati, ma non li condanno nè giudico. La solitudine mi appartiene da sempre. Se ci sono tanto meglio, se no sticazzi, si fa come ho sempre fatto. Penso che non sto facendo foto, penso che dovrei studiare, penso che odio i conoscenti, penso che le famiglie si sgretolano e che non ci sono soldi, c'è la crisi, c'è la fottutissima crisi.

 

Penso che stare in casa per troppo tempo non faccia bene, si, ne sono pienamente convinta. Altro che casalinghe disperate!

 

Io sto sul letto, così e la macchina lì sulla mensola.

 

E mentre non trovo le risposte è arrivata, è arrivata l'idea per una foto.

Rat hippocampal neuron-glial cultures co-infected with VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral vectors expressing reporter gene GFP (green) and V5 Tagged tau proteins (red) especially in the population of astrocytes. Cells were imaged by acquisition of multiple optical sections with a Zeiss LSM 710 Quasar confocal system (Cellular Imaging Facility of UNIL - Lausanne) with a 40X objective and digital zoom set to four. This picture exhibited astrocytic network complexity and how tau proteins is differentially located and expressed in astrocytic neuronal compartments. Tau is an essential element for our human brain. As a ligament for bones, tau participates to structure and flexibility of brain neurons. However, during normal or ages-related diseases (Alzheimer diseases or dementia) tau changes and consequently the neuronal structure also. We can understand the complexities of neuronal network with culture of cells infected with viral vector expressing fluorescence markers (green and red)

In Naked Knotted Neurons, a group of protesters, some injured, some choking on tear gas, escape violent confrontation with police and other forces by staggering into a safe house they find in the midst of chaos. Strangers to one another, they soon discover they are from different worlds: all were involved in protests, but in different places and times. A trio of dieties, Fate, Chance and Destiny, have gathered them together to charge them with a task: to create a new Hero to solve the world’s most intractable, knotted problems. How to get this message across? Puppets, riddles, and audience participation reveal the secrets the protesters need to fulfill this task.

 

Following their run at the International Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Penn Theatre Ensemble presented the company-devised piece Naked Knotted Neurons at Annenberg Center Live on September 4th and 5th, 2015.

You have a thought... where does it lead?

To sex, probably.

Animated Neuronal transmission : It is one of the most important function of the body. What we call our senses are impulses travelling from various parts of the body to brain. Unknow to us however there are billions of connections made to transfer info from internal organs to the brain. It is the intricate neuron cellular network that keeps our body alive. This neuronal transmission animation gives in-depth information about how our nervous system functions.
