Dead computers = best thing that can happen to digital artists and internet junkies. /irony&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm writing this note mainly do THANK everyone for the support and love that I recieve everyday. Sometimes I can't thank everyone individually, but a simple like or comment means the world to me, it's good to know that people enjoy what I do and that support just makes me want to do better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past year was BIG for me in the art department. I was able to see my work featured on countless magazines worldwide and national, I did my first TV interview and people actually started to know who "Shino" is and aproach me on the street asking about my artwork :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this amazing stuff still feels weird to me. I still think of myself as the little girl that enjoys drawing and shows her sketches to her family and friends, and suddently I have people from the other side of the world telling me that I'm an inspiration to them, how surreal is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course not everything is perfect and with so many good things obviously bad things will come attached. Jealousy is top 1 unfortunatly, that or just mindless hate, misery loves company I guess. Sometimes I recieve the most awesome huge "critics" saying that I should do this in that to my work, that I should change my style because mine isn't "artistic" enough to be apart of the Art elite I suppose, or even comments saying that I don't actually do my artworks! I'm kinda flattered that people take their time to bash me lol, but honestly, I'm going to stay true to myself and do what I want to do the way I want to do it, and everyone should do the same. You can't please everyone and you shouldn't want to. Don't take me for a snob, any critic is welcome if you have tips or ideas to improve my work, but if you don't like what I do there's nothing I can do for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll keep doing my thing and find others in the way that find beauty on the things I too find beautiful :) Together we can discover new concepts of beauty, yes? Meanwhile let's enjoy the ride.

But I think I owe to my supporters around the globe to write in english. I may do more reviews in the future about other forms of art such as movies and books. But moving on to the point!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ordered my Vampire Art Now (the UK version) from Wook.pt for 22,04€, not expensive at all considering it has 192 pages, hardcover and the printing is absolutely gorgeous! Amazing colors, quality paper, it has a beautiful shine to it, but not too much. You might be wondering why I had to buy the book since I participated on it. Well, the copy the publishers were supposed to send is still yet to come. They said that the books for the artists got stuck on a boat in China, something like that. Funny how the books for selling didn’t got stuck anywhere. Anyway, I was too excited to see the result and bought it, I don’t mind having an extra copy ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NMI11rIHVrA/TlrOJC-Ls3I/AAAAAAAAAFw/YzZOlNCp2oI/s1600/4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 307px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NMI11rIHVrA/TlrOJC-Ls3I/AAAAAAAAAFw/YzZOlNCp2oI/s320/4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646051737674167154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(sorry for the poor quality photos)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting with the cover:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Front cover, my artwork, Sunset.&lt;br /&gt;I was a little disappointed when I saw it. Looks a little bit too dark, but what bugs me the most is that it’s not completely centered. It has a protective paper cover and then the hard cover, both have shiny letters which is a nice detail.&lt;br /&gt;Back cover is an artwork by Charilie Siebert, Molly with a little résumé of the &lt;br /&gt;book. I’ll transcribe:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The folkloric vampire has allowed writers and artists throughout history to explore classic themes of immortality, fear and desire. Vampire Art Now breathes fresh life into the classic mythology, showcasing the best of contemporary vampire artwork from artist around the world.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Front flap cover artwork: Vampire Mikael by Neil Que&lt;br /&gt;Back flap cover: Beast by Christine M. Griffin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on to the inside :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EMH116eQQ1Q/TlrS9Eje-KI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Z2gSZg-0NC8/s1600/5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 190px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EMH116eQQ1Q/TlrS9Eje-KI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Z2gSZg-0NC8/s320/5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646057029498763426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book starts with a small but fun to read Foreword, by the New York bestselling author Rachel Caine. You can read about the vampire evolution in history or in art. As Rachel says “There’s just something about vampires that won’t die”.&lt;br /&gt;This is followed by a two page introduction by the creators of the book, Jamine Becket Griffith and Mathew David Becket. Again, some vampire history and how vampires are susceptible to change according to the viewer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now to the “Art” part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The artworks are organized by chapters, 10 to be exact:&lt;br /&gt;-	The Aristocracy and Victoriana&lt;br /&gt;-	Vampiric Vixens&lt;br /&gt;-	Contemporary Goth and Urban Undead&lt;br /&gt;-	Graveyard Grotesque&lt;br /&gt;-	Vampire Hunters and the Hunted&lt;br /&gt;-	Undead in the Darkroom &lt;br /&gt;-	Cartoons and Comics&lt;br /&gt;-	Bloodlust and Bittersweet Romance&lt;br /&gt;-	Dracula and his Disguises&lt;br /&gt;-	Gothic Quartes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the book is divided be themes, it includes all mediums from sculpture, to color pencils to digital art.&lt;br /&gt;Obviously I won’t talk about each single piece of artwork or this would be the longest review ever, so I’ll share some photos of what you can except from inside. I guarantee you this is a compilation of amazingly talented artists! Every page I flipped I felt more honored to be a part of this project. From the classic horror movie vampire, to the more futuristic or anime, you have it all here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YrD2pADbdwY/Tlrb4jDv35I/AAAAAAAAAGI/U2vB36bFtEs/s1600/6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 258px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YrD2pADbdwY/Tlrb4jDv35I/AAAAAAAAAGI/U2vB36bFtEs/s320/6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646066847392456594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rIvTs5xD9VM/TlrgsaCMiZI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/ybI1o-wTZqk/s1600/7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rIvTs5xD9VM/TlrgsaCMiZI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/ybI1o-wTZqk/s320/7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646072136369736082" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qf0LYQ5xqZk/Tlrj8qxwX4I/AAAAAAAAAGY/ehzSJ4qywds/s1600/9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qf0LYQ5xqZk/Tlrj8qxwX4I/AAAAAAAAAGY/ehzSJ4qywds/s320/9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646075714276974466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0D5RtAjbsag/TlrkLROYACI/AAAAAAAAAGg/TVyQCG4scyw/s1600/10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0D5RtAjbsag/TlrkLROYACI/AAAAAAAAAGg/TVyQCG4scyw/s320/10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646075965115727906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My artwork Anime Vorax is on pages 32-33 and it’s the opening of the Chapter 2, Vampiric Vixens. Sadly when I sent my information to the publishers I still had my old website, so it’s credited www.shinobinaku.net, which doesn’t exist anymore, it’s www.shinobinaku.COM now, wich really is a pitty, otherwise it would be perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0uUTaWsi09g/TlrWJ7CdmRI/AAAAAAAAAGA/o0Eyba68564/s1600/1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 185px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0uUTaWsi09g/TlrWJ7CdmRI/AAAAAAAAAGA/o0Eyba68564/s320/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646060548817525010" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Three black souls share a couch in this dark digital piece. They all stare forward with illuminated eyes, as cobwebs surround the background. Joana Dias shares her thoughts and inspirations: “Soul Eater is the translation from ancient latin for this work. I felt like I needed an empowering vampire, and so was inspired by the goddess Bast, as she was known as a female devourer and matriarch of cats. I do also enjoy combining vampires and felines since they have always appealed to me as mysterious and sensual creatures".&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My other two works can my found on Chapter 8 - Bloodlust and Bittersweet Romance, pages 143, 144.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NaTvbK1ic24/Tlrk3RygOFI/AAAAAAAAAGw/YgaAxhzV8iw/s1600/2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NaTvbK1ic24/Tlrk3RygOFI/AAAAAAAAAGw/YgaAxhzV8iw/s320/2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646076721181505618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I was a Vampire&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"In an eternal embrace these two vampires hold each other and at this moment they feel very human. If I Was A Vampire by Joana Dias demonstrates the softer side of vampires, their ability to love. “I am greatly inspired by various forms of art, and try to channel that inspiration in my work. This one in particular is based on music. Unlike my other vampire artwork, this one is focused on the notion of eternal romance and undying love. This was also the first appearance of my character Sunset”.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lC79aqrYA4w/TlrlDSqlbQI/AAAAAAAAAG4/CWYudGf97Wg/s1600/3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lC79aqrYA4w/TlrlDSqlbQI/AAAAAAAAAG4/CWYudGf97Wg/s320/3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646076927575158018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunset&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The character Sunset displays bloodthirsty appetite as scarlet rivers of blood drip down her lips, contrasting against her pale skin. Gore-loving nymphs always make de most heinous acts look sensual. Dias says: “I wanted to create a portrait of Sunset, as she is a centerpiece in my cast os original characters. In order to create her more faithfully to my vision, I drew her from scratch, unlike the majority of my work, which is photomanipulation.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book ends with the Artist Directory and the typical acknowledgments.&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, I truly love it, the only two things I’m unhappy about it’s the front cover, it’s not completely centered, it may sound picky but I think it makes a huge difference. And unfortunately, the credits, my website leads to nowhere :( I’m hoping people who enjoyed my art just google “Joana Dias” or “Shinobinaku” and my current website shows right at the top of the list ahah :D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7Dx0bJ0EGsM/TlrkmrkL1qI/AAAAAAAAAGo/VwcXQ9_mU0M/s1600/11.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 172px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7Dx0bJ0EGsM/TlrkmrkL1qI/AAAAAAAAAGo/VwcXQ9_mU0M/s320/11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646076436042995362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tYQC5-y_2_M/TlrleYwjkpI/AAAAAAAAAHA/Rb0PF-9M_34/s1600/12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tYQC5-y_2_M/TlrleYwjkpI/AAAAAAAAAHA/Rb0PF-9M_34/s320/12.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646077393067283090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Rb4fUbyHsOg/TlrlpNG3K8I/AAAAAAAAAHI/vTBGwIvNs_4/s1600/13.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Rb4fUbyHsOg/TlrlpNG3K8I/AAAAAAAAAHI/vTBGwIvNs_4/s320/13.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646077578918177730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0rAMe2wJb0/Tlrl1Wp1w9I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/7pnInvhqfqY/s1600/14.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0rAMe2wJb0/Tlrl1Wp1w9I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/7pnInvhqfqY/s320/14.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646077787639235538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you haven’t ordered it yet, you should! If you are a vampire lover, an horror lover or simply an art lover, this is a most have. And, apparently, due to the great success this book is having, Ilex Press is going to publish a “Vampire Art Now Postcard Book” :D it will be a smaller version, so only Anima Vorax and Sunset will be on it, Sunset being the front cover again :D It will come out in 2012  ;)&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

Acontece que a Ilex Press pretendia lançar no ano de 2011 o próximo número da série, o "Vampire Art Now" do qual fui convidada a participar, aliás fui convidada a mostrar os meus trabalhos à editora numa espécie de audição que posteriormente poderiam ser ou não aceites. Tendo em conta que seria a colectânea dos MELHORES artistas em todo o mundo da área as minha expectativas não estavam muito altas, mas não deixei de ficar lisonjeada por ter sido pelo menos convidada a tentar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Jasmine ficaria de me dar uma resposta até Janeiro deste ano no caso do meu trabalho ter sido seleccionado, o que não aconteceu e por isso deduzi que não tinha sido escolhido, no entanto, por um questão de curiosidade decidi pesquisar o livro para ver quais os artistas que nele constavam. Ora qual não é a minha surpresa ao abrir a página do Wook.pt e ver que o livro já se encontrava em pré-lançamento e que é a minha pintura que está na capa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No entanto não é certo de que será a capa oficial, em alguns sites aparece a minha imagem e noutros outra diferente, por isso ou ainda estão a tomar as últimas decisões ou apenas são versões diferentes consoante a língua. O livro vai ser traduzido em 6 línguas diferentes e vendido pelo mundo inteiro! Incluindo obviamente Portugal onde o poderão adquirir em lojas tão conhecidas como a Fnac ou fazer já a reserva no Wook :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou a torcer para que pelo menos a capa portuguesa seja a minha :D Mas se não for já não caibo em mim de contente de ser uma das artistas escolhidas ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fica aqui o link para reservar o livro no Wook:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.wook.pt/ficha/vampire-art-now/a/id/10494914&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vRPsTVEnlxk/TWWvg8HTxsI/AAAAAAAAAFE/ekPUtU-6GrI/s1600/Vampire%2BArt%2BNow%2Bcover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vRPsTVEnlxk/TWWvg8HTxsI/AAAAAAAAAFE/ekPUtU-6GrI/s320/Vampire%2BArt%2BNow%2Bcover.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577056693995685570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vampire Art Now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Publisher:  [UK] Ilex     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author: Jasmine Becket-Griffith &amp; Matthew David Becket&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hardback,  247x247mm,  192p,  200  colour illustrations.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Publication date:  [05/11]     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Synopsis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest in Ilexs successful Art Now series will whet the appetite of the many fans of vampire novels, TV shows, movies and comics.

O repórter/produtor, Genya Tachibana encontra a que foi outrora a sua estrela mais famosa, Chiyoko Fujiwara, que tem estado em clausura desde que deixou de representar há mais de 30 anos atrás. Tachibana entrega-lhe uma chave que a faz relembrar e reflectir sobre a sua passada carreira; enquanto Chiyoko conta a sua história, Tachibana e o seu cameraman são ”sugados” pela mesma. A chave foi entregue à ex-actriz enquanto adolescente por um jovem pintor revolucionário que fugia da polícia. Ela torna-se actriz pois isso irá ajudá-la na busca pelo rapaz; e passa as seguintes décadas a representar essa procura através de vários papéis e épocas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Trailer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vpGrD5wUzKE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O enredo começa com uma actriz idosa a recontar a sua vida e carreira a um repórter, admirador/fanático do seu trabalho, muito “D. Quixotiano” acompanhado pelo seu cameraman “Sancho Panza”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O filme é também uma homenagem às películas pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial japonesas, desde os épicos samurais, aos dramas domésticos urbanos, até ao Godzilla; e para ligar estas veneráveis tradições temos o conto de Chiyoko Fujiwara. A sua história justapõe-se com a realidade e os triunfos e tragédias de uma actriz fundem-se com as do próprio Japão, objectivamente e fantasticamente, por vezes de forma humorística e por outras em tom mais sério, as duas dançam entre si criando o enredo de Millenium Actress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.yaboon.com/movie/frame/462/8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 485px; height: 275px;" src="http://img.yaboon.com/movie/frame/462/8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Desta maneira partimos para uma viagem pela história do Japão e pela sua filmografia, Chiyoko recria o seu passado com tal exactidão que consegue transportar os seus mais recentes conhecidos consigo, literalmente, num momento temos o cameraman a fazer piadas em casa de Chiyoko como de seguida o vemos a desviar-se de setas em chamas num dos seus filmes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Satoshi Kon usa a liberdade da animação para desprezar as habituais distinções entre o cinema e a realidade que este fabrica. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como uma mulher jovem, pouco antes da guerra, Chiyoko é recrutada para fazer um filme de propaganda sobre a guerra na Manchúria, uma tarefa complicada pelo seu breve encontro com um artista revolucionário perseguido pela polícia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As suas aventuras seguintes lavam-na, através dos seus papéis, a andar para trás e para frente no tempo e formam uma demanda que tem como objectivo ver novamente o pintor (pelo qual cria uma ligação amorosa) e para retornar a chave misteriosa que este lhe deu. A chave pode ser o que destranca a porta entre a sua biografia e sua vida no ecrã, em que ela aparece como uma gueixa, uma princesa guerreira e outros arquétipos do cinema japonês.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estas viagens no tempo, mudanças de realidade e encontros com várias personagens que se repetem ao longo dos diferentes universos, representados por cada filme feito pela actriz, podem-se tornar bastaste confusos, especialmente para o público que não está habituado à animação japonesa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.reelingreviews.com/millenniumactresspic.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 485px; height: 275px;" src="http://www.reelingreviews.com/millenniumactresspic.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O filme desenrola-se com rapidez e fluidez, apesar de haver discordância neste ponto, mas suponho que dependa em certa medida da familiaridade e/ou interesse com a tradição do cinema a que se está a prestar homenagem.&lt;br /&gt;Satoshi Kon e a sua equipa de animação têm uma habilidade natural para imitar a aparência, cenário e até mesmo os movimentos de camera característicos de vários directores e períodos, que giram em conjunto numa louca e mágica lição de história.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assistir a Millennium Actress é testemunhar um meio cinematográfico a celebrar outro, uma expressão do amor pelo cinema que é maravilhosamente excêntrica e profundamente comovente.&lt;br /&gt;No entanto não é só isto que faz um filme magnífico, mesmo para quem o visualize sem qualquer interesse pela história do Japão continua a ser uma história para auto-reflexão, sobre os nossos objectivos, o significado da nossa vida, o que fizemos até hoje, se a desperdiçamos, qual é a nossa demanda e será essa a correcta? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não o poderia recomendar mais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Nota final: 9.2/10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6866791679691375795-651288624813214571?l=tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com/feeds/651288624813214571/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6866791679691375795&amp;postID=651288624813214571&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6866791679691375795/posts/default/651288624813214571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6866791679691375795/posts/default/651288624813214571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com/2011/02/sennen-joyu-millenium-actress-review.html' title='Sennen joyû / Millenium Actress - Review'/><author><name>Shinobinaku</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11006602616684203520</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xz6U-Q7RRSg/TW64Pu3I48I/AAAAAAAAAFM/i6lTuEXx8EY/s220/IMGP6450%2Bcopy.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/vpGrD5wUzKE/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866791679691375795.post-7789273496855359119</id><published>2010-11-25T05:55:00.006Z</published><updated>2011-02-13T07:26:33.593Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musical'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinema'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Repo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crítica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='horror'/><title type='text'>Repo!

Do meio da tragédia, surge um salvador: GeneCo, uma empresa de biotecnologia criado pelo homem mais poderoso do mundo, Rotti Largo, que oferece transplantes de órgãos, por um preço. Aqueles que se atrasarem no pagamento estão condenados a serem perseguidos pelo Repo Men na recolha dos seus órgãos.&lt;br /&gt; Num mundo onde viciados em cirurgias estão também viciados em drogas analgésicas e onde o assassinato é punido por lei, uma jovem de nome Shilo encontra-se “aprisionada” na sua casa, por protecção do seu pai Nathan e procura a cura da sua própria doença rara, bem como informações sobre a história misteriosa da sua família, absorta do facto do seu pai ser também o Repo Men. Após ser sugada para o mundo assombrado da GeneCo, ela é incapaz de voltar atrás, enquanto todas as suas perguntas serão respondidas durante um evento altamente antecipado por todos: The Genetic Opera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trailer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MzgpU25C6fg?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MzgpU25C6fg?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=pt_PT&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Após assistir ao trailer deste filme pensei que só podia tomar duas direcções, ou iria ser algo muito bom ou extremamente mau e no entanto conseguiu surpreender-me! Nem um nem outro, está na orla do “razoavelmente mau”, que é algo como a expressão americana do “It’s like a car crash. You can’t look away”, significa isto que já tem pelo menos um ponto positivo, que é o facto de conseguir segurar-nos até ao fim, a questão é se isso acontece pelos melhores motivos.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;É de relembrar que temos emparelhados no mesmo filme um dos realizadores do “SAW”,  Sarah Brightman, a Paris Hilton e um gajo da Buffy, A caçadora de Vampiros. Como eu disse: car crash.&lt;br /&gt;O que salva este filme é o conceito. É original e com potencial, de tal maneira que a ideia já foi roubada pelo mais recente “Repo Men” (“Os Cobradores” em português) com a mesma base, mas em vez de o transformarem num filme de horror/musical fizeram antes um filme de acção. O problema é que parece que nenhum dos dois realizadores foi eficaz no aproveitamento do seu potencial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenho que admitir que assisti ao filme com vários revirar de olhos e certas gargalhadas, em consequência de algumas, chamemos-lhes “calinadas” dadas ao longo desta longa-metragem.   &lt;br /&gt;Vamos começar pelos dois aspectos principais que causam este filme a não ser bem sucedido: &lt;br /&gt;- Enredo com mais buracos do que coesão.  &lt;br /&gt;- A música ( o que é um GRANDE ponto negativo, tendo em conta que é um musical) desde as letras aos “cantores”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em relação ao enredo em si não tem muito que se lhe diga, é pobre, as personagens não têm qualquer tipo de substancia nem credibilidade, os próprios actores devem ter ficado confusos pois não sabem se devem encarar o seu papel com seriedade, como acontece na personagem de Nathan/Repo Men, ou de uma forma completamente extrema, “over-acting”, como os 3 filhos do Rotti Largo. Um dos quais tem uma espécie de sotaque italiano que não faz sentido absolutamente nenhum, tem porque sim, alguém pensou que devia ficar engraçado e ninguém se iria questionar pelo motivo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2008_Repo_The_Genetic_Opera/2008_repo_the_genetic_opera_010.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 420px; height: 250px;" src="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2008_Repo_The_Genetic_Opera/2008_repo_the_genetic_opera_010.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Um dos 3 filhos de Rotti é a personagem representada por Paris Hilton (Amber Sweet) que é viciada em cirurgia plástica e consequentemente analgésicos. O seu pai é o dono da empresa que produz os ditos analgésicos, no entanto Amber Sweet adquire os seus por meios de tráfico ilegal, o que também faz todo o sentido. E de onde provêm estas drogas analgésicas ilegais? De cadáveres. Basta espetar uma seringa no nariz de um cadáver e daí sai um líquido azul... (???)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O filme tenta representar um futuro de pessoas viciadas em cirurgia plástica, no entanto ninguém tem dinheiro para pagar os seus transplantes de órgãos vitais e daí recorrerem ao crédito da GenCo. Dois lados da história um bocado incompatíveis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uns quantos outros pontos inexplicáveis pelo meio do filme: A Shilo supostamente está trancada no seu quarto (vemos o pai a trancar a porta) mas por alguma razão consegue estar sempre fora dele.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rotti Largo consegue convencer Nathan/Repo Men a fazer a re-possessão dos olhos de outra personagem (Bling Mag) com o argumento de este há uns anos atrás ter morto a sua mulher involuntariamente: “Vai arrancar os olhos àquela senhora” “Porquê?” “Porque matas-te a tua mulher há 17 anos atrás” “Faz todo o sentido! Deixa lá ir buscar o bisturi”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2008_Repo_The_Genetic_Opera/2008_repo_the_genetic_opera_007.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 410px; height: 250px;" src="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2008_Repo_The_Genetic_Opera/2008_repo_the_genetic_opera_007.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A personagem Blind Mag menciona que o cabelo de Shilo é igual ao da sua mãe, apesar desta estar a usar uma peruca, sendo careca devido à sua doença.&lt;br /&gt;A lista de incoerências é longa e só mesmo vendo o filme para se poder “apreciar” todas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passemos agora à parte musical.&lt;br /&gt;Ponto positivo: Sarah Brightman, um dos poucos , infelizmente nem este monstro de talento conseguiu salvar o que já estava perdido. &lt;br /&gt;Devo dizer que vi este filme duas vezes e já sei praticamente as músicas todas de cor, o que neste caso é mau, pois isto acontece porque todas as músicas são altamente repetitivas, fora uma ou duas que até são agradáveis de se ouvirem, todo o resto do filme parece-me apenas uma única música demasiado longa. A melodia roça o “vira o disco e toca o mesmo”, as letras parecem escritas por um bando de adolescente, muito “verdes” e até imaturas. Fica o exemplo dum excerto da música “Infected” pela personagem Shilo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm...infected&lt;br /&gt;I'm infected&lt;br /&gt;by your genetics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shilo, I'm the doctor&lt;br /&gt;Shilo, I'm your father&lt;br /&gt;Oh, Shilo, that was close!&lt;br /&gt;Take your medicine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm infected by your genetics&lt;br /&gt;Shilo, you're my patient&lt;br /&gt;Shilo, be more patient&lt;br /&gt;You have limitations, don't go chasing flies&lt;br /&gt;I must be protective&lt;br /&gt;You cannot be reckless&lt;br /&gt;That's what is expected when you are infected&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm infected by your genetics&lt;br /&gt;I'm infected by your genetics&lt;br /&gt;And I don't think that I can be fixed&lt;br /&gt;No, I don't think that I can be fixed&lt;br /&gt;Tell me why, oh why are my genetics such a bitch?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não só as letras deixam a desejar como também os cantores. Também aqui falta coerência, por um lado temos canto lírico e tenores como do outro temos cantores com talentos vocais no mínimo dúbios como é o caso da Paris Hilton. Colocar Sarah Brightman e Paris no mesmo musical é praticamente um crime.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2008_Repo_The_Genetic_Opera/2008_repo_the_genetic_opera_005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2008_Repo_The_Genetic_Opera/2008_repo_the_genetic_opera_005.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelo lado positivo, o dueto final entre Alex Vega e Anthony Head (Shilo e Nathan) com a música “I didn’t know I love you this much” é um momento de redenção por algumas das idiotices do resto do filme, apesar de não o conseguir salvar, é dos poucos momentos em que é transmitida algum tipo de emoção. Letra e melodia simples mas eficazes e a parte vocal também cumpre o seu trabalho. Guardaram o melhor para o fim, sendo que é o que fica mais fresco na memória quase que dá para esquecer alguma das barbaridades iniciais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em suma, a ideia tem potencial e é sem dúvida diferente e refrescante, inclusivamente todo o visual do filme, mas não deixa de ter sido mal concebida. Muitos pontos idiotas durante 93 minutos, mas consegue equilibrar-se com alguns momentos redentores.  No final, não consigo odiá-lo, mas também não consigo gostar dele, por isso só pode ter uma nota mediana. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Nota final: 5.5/10 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6866791679691375795-7789273496855359119?l=tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com/feeds/7789273496855359119/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6866791679691375795&amp;postID=7789273496855359119&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6866791679691375795/posts/default/7789273496855359119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6866791679691375795/posts/default/7789273496855359119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com/2010/11/repo-gentic-opera-review.html' title='Repo!

Mas desde que a arte existe também existem as disputas do que é ou não é arte, o que faz uma peça ser uma obra de arte e para mim a mais recente, onde é que esta tem andado? Restringindo esta questão apenas à minha área de pintura digital e photomanipulação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descobri a photomanipulação na comunidade de arte virtual mais conhecida de sempre, o Deviantart e desde o momento que a vi pela primeira vez determinei-me em  aprende-la e a domina-la. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acho que posso dizer que o fiz e que tenho vindo a crescer (e continuarei) ao longo dos anos. Mas ao contrário da altura em que me iniciei, quando pouca gente sabia funcionar com o Photoshop (ou saber sequer o que era), hoje em dia todos conseguem aprender facilmente com uns tutoriais vistos aqui e ali. Mais gente a aprender como fazer arte, mais arte a inundar as internets… certo? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O problema é o achar que saber a técnica equivale ao todo, esquecendo-se do conceito, do esforço, da emoção que uma peça de arte será suposta transmitir… ou talvez nem seja preciso nada disto (lá está, quem sou eu para discutir o que é arte), mas uma coisa tenho a certeza que é necessária: a Originalidade. Onde pára a originalidade?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Tudo o que vejo é cópia atrás de cópia. Sim, eu sei que nada é original hoje em dia e seria ingénuo pensar o contrário, já tudo foi feito, mas pode ser modelado, interpretado de outras perspectivas, ainda há muitos caminhos por cultivar. Mas nunca, NUNCA, confundir inspiração com total falta de originalidade e fazer uma cópia de outro artista. &lt;br /&gt;Vou mostrar alguns exemplos para ilustrar ao que me refiro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.victoriafrances.es/images/galeria/17-09-2008_1797684824.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 347px; height: 480px;" src="http://www.victoriafrances.es/images/galeria/17-09-2008_1797684824.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqui está uma conhecida obra da Victoria Francés "Velos", embora não esteja no top das minhas artistas preferidas, tenho de admitir que muitas das suas obras são bastante inspirativas e por isso decidi criar uma versão desta peça, mas com uma visão diferente, uma perspectiva diferente, uma técnica diferente, enfim.. pegar numa ideia base e transforma-la até se tornar na MINHA interpretação, pode ser considerado um tributo, mas nunca uma tentativa de imitação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/125/4/4/Under_Dark_Waters_by_Shinobinaku.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 1024px; height: 319px;" src="http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/125/4/4/Under_Dark_Waters_by_Shinobinaku.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under Dark Waters @ Shinobinaku&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Mas se agora virmos a imagem de uma "artista" que se diz "inspirada" por este meu trabalho o que vemos?

Everyday she went to her window, opened the maroon velvet drapes and felt the air caressing her long blue-ish hair. It was a beautiful scenery, the streets seemed cheerful due to the school nearby and the children laughing and playing, trees surround everything that catches the eye, and as she looker further down, she sees that thin line that divides the crystal blue river from the deep blue sky. But she cannot find comfort in that landscape, for everyday in that glass prison of hers, she has to face thousands of couples faking smiles at each other, pretending they´re happy because they fear being alone, some others, smile because they are hiding something from their lovers, some have a secret agenda, and others just simply bored. Somehow, she could see right through everyone, and from her second floor window, she would look down upon them - not just figuratively speaking, that is - but those lovely, yet piercing eyes, had seen too much, so she just stood there, with her elbows on the ledge, holding her face with the palm of her hands, with a gloomy expression on her lovely face, that was easily mistaken by a bored look, still, she yawned left and right. She was so beautiful, there was no one on that city that had not seen her, necks would crack to look up, eyes would secretly roll over to catch a glimpse of her, she was craved by both men and women alike, not because of her gorgeous figure, tender look, and the smile she sometimes blessed them with when a little dog would stop by and bark, would resemble the sparkle of the biggest, purest diamond.&lt;br /&gt;And then, one day late at night, a big red double-decker bus stopped by the station in the main street, she never saw nothing like that so her eyes stretched a bit more than usual. Someone came out, she could´t quite see who, but whoever it was, it clearly didn´t belong there because nobody stops walks those streets so late. She was only up because the moon was full and the high in the sky covered with blinking stars, for an instance, they looked like Christmas lights. Her eyes fell down again, and that person was now under a broken down street light, dimly enlighten then gone, and again enlighten. It was a boy, he was pouting and definitely confused, probably lost. The streets were empty, and he was frantically waving his head, and if looking for someone, it was then he looked up at her. She couldn´t tell what kind of person he was, everything in him was paradoxical. He was a tall boy carrying a guitar case, he was not attractive to look at  and he wore a black and maroon pin-striped pattern shirt to match his boots, and an old leather jacket, eyeliner, and a deep red lip gloss. But his hair, oh my, it was something out of a comic book, it just look plain funny flying at the soft breeze&lt;br /&gt;- Erm, excuse me, he said with a soft tone.&lt;br /&gt;- Hm? She said&lt;br /&gt;- Could you please tell me where I am?&lt;br /&gt;- At the end of the world.&lt;br /&gt;He smiled and blushed, because only now he saw how beautiful the girl was, and trying to find the words:&lt;br /&gt;- I was going home but I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere and here I am&lt;br /&gt;- Not the smartest pea in the pod, uh? She answered immediately with a razor blade tongue&lt;br /&gt;- I guess you can say that... he replied and he lowered his eyes and scratched his head.&lt;br /&gt;Seeing him in that submissive position, she actually felt sorry for him, his eyes were kind of sad and he didn´t seem so bad. So she decided to throw him a bone.&lt;br /&gt;- What genre do you play?&lt;br /&gt;- Oh, this? He pointed his thumb at the guitar case strap over his shoulder. I can´t seem to play this thing, I´m a singer actually...&lt;br /&gt;- Well, then, entertain me...&lt;br /&gt;He softly nodded and with a fast movement threw the guitar into the air, unzipping it as it fell down and without knowing how, his red flashy guitar was already at strapped onto him. And under that dim light the stars were reflecting in his guitar, making almost a sweetly sickening light show and just for a second -  he looked like a nomad mariachi, devoting his endless love to the lady in the Victorian looking balcony with Gothic arches. He then punched the G string and looked at it vibrate, maybe to see if it was in tone, the sound vibrated all over the street, echoing in the building walls, it sounded like a thunder in the desert. He apologized and said he would keep it a little lower. He struck a fer more chords, and after that he passed his tongue by his lips, spreading the gloss a bit, and finally opened his mouth to start to sing. She either didnt knew the song, or maybe it was he was playing one of his own, and by looking at him, she couldn´t help it - she giggled, but almost immediately covered her mouth with her hands. He stopped playing, took his eyes off the guitar and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;- Yeah, I know... I told I was not good it at. Now I´m really embarrassed... (he scratched his head once again...)&lt;br /&gt;- I´m sorry. She said ambiguously&lt;br /&gt;- Don´t worry. Hey, if you don´t mind me asking, why are you up this late.&lt;br /&gt;- The sky, it´s so pretty, and at this hour nobody is walking wonders these streets.&lt;br /&gt;- It is. Thats why I went out tonight, I love to take long walks under the moonlight, it makes me relax and nobody wants to leave their TV alone, so there´s no fuss.&lt;br /&gt;- Hm. She replied&lt;br /&gt;- You know, maybe we are not so different, you and I.&lt;br /&gt;- How come?&lt;br /&gt;- You like to observe people from a distance, hear their conversation an that lack of social skills probably comes from that. Thinking they´re all bad seeds and staying away from them.&lt;br /&gt;- How can you tell? She said with a tremor in her voice and slowly looking to the side.&lt;br /&gt;- Because I´m the same way, only in a different manner. I talk an awful lot to people and most of them are fake, they live lies I couldn´t even begin to keep with, and they cheat, corrupt, bruise and break me. But thats the only way to learn I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;After he finished that sentence they were both looking at each others eyes, almost if making a psychologic map of one another, and at that moment a cool breeze ran swiftly by the street and its sounds was muffled by the sweet sound of the girl´s voice saying:&lt;br /&gt;- Thats what you get when you get involved too much.&lt;br /&gt;- I know, but I don´t mind. Life is a risk, I refuse to live in a shell. I myself have created a persona to "meet and greet" others. The real me is only seen by the ones I truly feel they´re worthy.&lt;br /&gt;- A persona? She asked as she wrinkled her forehead and lifted the left eyebrow a bit.&lt;br /&gt;- A persona is like another identity, you know, like Superman, he´s persona is Clark Kent.&lt;br /&gt;- I see. So, you use that persona of yours as a shield against people. But why bother? There is nothing they can offer...&lt;br /&gt;She changed her expression after that face, that somewhat cute expression of innocence was torn, leaving only room for a blank stare. The flickering street lamp was about to burn out, you could hear the buzzing sound almost dying but then the boy smiled enthusiastically and in a loud voice he said:&lt;br /&gt;- Love!&lt;br /&gt;- Love?! She was surprised by the answer&lt;br /&gt;- Yeah! I heard it´s so great to be in love, real love I mean, the one that squeezes your insides, that makes you feel absolutely no gravity, the kind that fills your mind with pictures, sounds, moments, places with that very special someone, thats stuff fuels your body and you feel like there is nothing more you need from this blue planet, the invisible energy that binds you with somebody else, merges and you stop being two mere humans and become what god itself wanted to be, if he existed.&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, her mind was racing and she saw in his eyes that such a thing existed, she didn´t knew why, but she in trusted him. His words were now engraved in her head like a Japanese tattoo. His eyes were almost tearing up from such excitement and the stars somehow, were shinning a bit brighter.&lt;br /&gt;- How can one find such a thing? She smiled&lt;br /&gt;- Come on down, we´ll search for it together. He looked at her with his eyes wide open and raised his hand, hoping she could grab it from that second floor window.&lt;br /&gt;- I don´t know, sounds risky, I don´t want to expose myself like that...&lt;br /&gt;- Oh come on, don´t be afraid. We are not going to live forever, you know. One thing is for sure, we have this life, I don´t know what will happen after that. But one thing is for sure, I plan on living it to the extreme, and you should too. We might lose, we might fail, but won´t it be worth it when we find it, the extreme state of happiness otherwise unattainable in a sad and lonely life!&lt;br /&gt;After speaking that last word, he looked up and she wasn't there anymore. That glass window didn´t sparkle anymore, and now the shutters were closing. He stood there, hearing nothing but the ghoulish silence that now invaded his ears. He took of his guitar strap, got on on knee and put the instrument back on its case, zipping it close again, making a sound that reached epic proportions almost leaving him deaf.&lt;br /&gt;The boys smile was ripped away as he saw remembered the empty window, and he thought to himself how foolish that was, coming out of his shell once again and speaking his mind so honestly, nothing good could come out of it. It never did. And as he gave the first step, that street lamp finally died, now he couldn´t even see  where he was heading. Each step he gave sounded like a gunshot, but this time he was so focused on why did he expose himself to that girl, that he could not hear anything but his own voice inside his head screaming. A tear came crawling down his face leaving a drawn skid mark of eyeliner down his face. Trying to trace his way back, he stumbled upon the side walk and fell, the fierce roar of bone against any kind of material was nothing new to him, so he tried to get back up on his feet when someone grabbed him from behind, and there was a scent of perfume in the air, so intense that acted like a natural painkiller.&lt;br /&gt;- Where were you going?&lt;br /&gt;- Nowhere... He replied, trying to hide his enthusiasm&lt;br /&gt;- You got a smudge here, you big Nancy-boy. She claimed as she licked her thumb and whipped his eye.&lt;br /&gt;- Thank you...&lt;br /&gt;- Well, wait here.&lt;br /&gt;She walked away, and then there was a loud bang. She kicked the street lamp and the light came on again, it burned the boys eyes, but as he squinted, he finally gained his vision back, and it was the very first time he saw her completely - that tall beautiful figure wearing a black ribbon in her blue hair, dressed so elegantly. A purple corset bringing out her curves even further, with a lace armed shirt, a short skirt with a little red stripe of satin with black stockings and a velvet dark coat, It was not the light that burned his eyes, it was her, she burned like the sun.&lt;br /&gt;Then, with little steps she walked next to him and asked:&lt;br /&gt;- So, where are you taking me?&lt;br /&gt;- I don't know, lets see where these streets take us. So far, I did great. He looked at her and smiled.&lt;br /&gt;- I guess the world is out oyster now. She smiled back and grabbed his hand.&lt;br /&gt;So they kept on walking towards the unknown, without any fear and doubts, because they knew as long as they had each other, everything would be alright. And maybe, just maybe that girl today knows what love is. I am not the one to answer that, for I am still waiting for that answer myself...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- By the way, where did you catch that red bus you came in to get here?&lt;br /&gt;- Bus? What bus?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6866791679691375795-5022799393073546498?l=tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com/feeds/5022799393073546498/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6866791679691375795&amp;postID=5022799393073546498&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6866791679691375795/posts/default/5022799393073546498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6866791679691375795/posts/default/5022799393073546498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com/2010/04/unintended-short-story-por-alguem-mais.html' title='Unintended (a short story), por alguém mais talentoso do que eu'/><author><name>Shinobinaku</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11006602616684203520</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xz6U-Q7RRSg/TW64Pu3I48I/AAAAAAAAAFM/i6lTuEXx8EY/s220/IMGP6450%2Bcopy.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866791679691375795.post-308972537463225356</id><published>2010-01-17T21:04:00.008Z</published><updated>2010-01-17T21:28:50.322Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amor'/><title type='text'>17.520 horas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nW5kqo9jWpw/S1OAW6t7ZQI/AAAAAAAAADs/ti0k8TXVK04/s1600-h/IMGP5878l+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

No one knows for sure what it is, but everyone knows a story about it. Some say it was a girl, a long time ago, a beautiful girl with burgundy hair and fair complexion, always seen with her parasol to protect that pure white skin, like a lady should. Apparently, so the story tells, her heart wanted someone she couldn’t have… or shouldn’t have.&lt;br /&gt;A noble and beautiful lady like her couldn’t be wasted with a nobody! Her parents knew she could marry the richest man in town or whoever’s willing to give a pretty good dowry. She couldn’t be beautiful for &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;nothing.&lt;/span&gt;  But her heart wanted otherwise. It wanted the poor fisherman that worked in the market, where she used to go every morning just to watch him in secret.&lt;br /&gt;She knew he was far from being the prince charming, but you can’t choose who you love,  and she did loved him with all that she had, and he loved her back.&lt;br /&gt;They knew their love was forbidden, so they kept it secret, but people aren’t blind and soon rumors started to spread.&lt;br /&gt;In the morning she went to the market, like every day, but the fisherman wasn’t there. Worried she started to ask everyone about where he could be, but no one knew… Who could possibly be worried about a fisherman? Then she overheard someone talking about a body found in the river.&lt;br /&gt;She fell on her knees and screamed until her lungs hurt, a mixture of pain and rage with the same questions echoing in her head – &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Oh, why didn’t they let her be happy? Why couldn’t she be with the one she loved?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That dead body floating on the river was someone cruel joke to say that, that man belonged with his fishes and not with a beautiful lady. But in that same night the beautiful lady was found dead in her room. Poisoned herself. In a note she wrote &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;“Can’t break a dead girl’s heart”.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Her parents decided to hide the scandal since they were the ones responsible for their daughter’s death and dumped her body in the forest and said she went missing.&lt;br /&gt;The crows still fly over that forest; maybe they can still scent that sweet death smell.

Assegurar o aprovisionamento dos equipamentos e dos meios necessários às operações relativas aos animais de laboratório;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Assegurar o cumprimento das normas legais em vigor

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apesar de a lei exigir que exista um comité de ética para monitorizar o bom funcionamento das práticas laboratoriais, na prática esta fiscalização interna é reduzida ou nula em quase

Ás vezes falta carinho, amor e respeito. E como os filhos embalados não trazem consigo uma receita de como torná-los indivíduos, dignos e felizes, atribuímos-lhes nomes, comuns, exóticos, sofisticados e sobrenomes para que se possa saber a procedência do produto.Durante a sua existência o homem vai acumulando rótulos, que de vez em quando necessitam de ser trocados, porque o prazo de validade expirou: bebé, criança, adolescente, adulto, idoso, velho, mas o produto é o mesmo, o Homem.&lt;br /&gt;Também nos dão rótulos de acordo com o papel que desempenhamos na sociedade. Alguns rótulos deprimem e desvalorizam o produto tornando-o produto de segunda, tais como pobres, mendigos, pedintes, vagabundos, analfabetos, prostitutas, feios, gordos, peixeiras, homens do lixo, etc. Mas o produto ainda é o mesmo, o Homem.Alguns rótulos brilham nas suas embalagens fazendo com que essas se tornem desejo de consumo, pois são produtos de primeira linha, como: Médicos, empresários, políticos, advogados, engenheiros, artistas, lindos, magros, ricos, etc.&lt;br /&gt;Alguns consumidores julgam que o produto possui as mesmas características da embalagem, ledo engano, não há produto perfeito, sempre faltam ou sobram ingredientes na composição.&lt;br /&gt;Para os produtos rotulados de segunda é essencial adicionar altas doses de amor próprio e coragem de mostrar todos os ingredientes que possui. Já os que possuem rótulos especiais é necessário retirar grandes doses de egoísmo, intolerância, vaidade, arrogância, prepotência e acrescentar altas doses de amor ao próximo, humildade e sensibilidade. &lt;strong&gt;Nas duas é necessário acrescentar doses de auto preservação, para não se contaminarem com todas as regras que a sociedade impõe a todos sobre o pretexto de que nela todos os produtos são iguais&lt;/strong&gt;, mas quem faz compras sabe que os produtos de segunda são agrupados de qualquer maneira, se caírem e partirem-se, não faz diferença, são baratos mesmo. As embalagens de primeira são dispostas em lugares especiais e só as leva quem puder pagar o seu alto valor, no entanto quando se retira o líquido que as conserva percebe-se que o conteúdo é mínimo e quando as provamos ficamos frustrados, porque a propaganda era enganosa, alguns são insossos, outros amargam, outros intoxicam e matam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Labels are for jars, not people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6866791679691375795-483086168413841374?l=tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com/feeds/483086168413841374/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6866791679691375795&amp;postID=483086168413841374&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6866791679691375795/posts/default/483086168413841374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6866791679691375795/posts/default/483086168413841374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tastes-like-rainbow.blogspot.com/2008/06/o-homem-produto-em-srie.html' title='O Homem - Produto em Série'/><author><name>Shinobinaku</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11006602616684203520</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xz6U-Q7RRSg/TW64Pu3I48I/AAAAAAAAAFM/i6lTuEXx8EY/s220/IMGP6450%2Bcopy.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_nW5kqo9jWpw/SErSDR9JjwI/AAAAAAAAAAs/mcNVTozLHp8/s72-c/humanpacks.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
