Zach Braff is leaving "Scrubs" for a movie career?

Waddaya mean I'm wrong?

It's a pity Perry Cox and the Janitor are just TV-characters. They would be handy for "setting things straight", as Braff seems to act in real life as dumb as J.D. does sometimes.

It is very curious how time works. Once upon a time I did really care about this show. It is not that I don't appreciate it anymore, I still do. But in a strange way, I began to lose interest in it, but why?

1. Too much seasons broadcasted for its own good? Who wants to see Zach Braff bearded after all these years? Did Scrubs really jump the shark?

2. The descending into irrelevance by using blatantly liberal- an environmentalist-biased plots and subplots? I used to prefer the more so-to-speak "generic" plots.

3. Too much guests stars? It gets boring with time, as The Simpsons can testify...

The Real Ratzinger

Karl Rahner, Hans Kung and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger all die on the same day, and go to meet St. Peter to know their fate.

St. Peter approaches the three of them, and tells them that he will interview each of them to discuss their views on various issues.

He then points at Rahner and says "Karl! In my office..." After 4 hours, the door opens, and Rahner comes stumbling out of St. Peter's office. He is highly distraught, and is mumbling things like "Oh God, that was the hardest thing I've ever done! How could I have been so wrong! So sorry...never knew..." He stumbles off into Heaven, a testament to the mercy of Our God.

St. Peter follows him out, and sticks his finger in Kung's direction and "Hans! You're next..." After 8 hours, the door opens, and Kung comes out, barely able to stand. He is near collapse with weakness and a crushed spirit. He , too, is mumbling things like "Oh God, that was the hardest thing I've ever done! How could I have been so wrong! So sorry...never knew..." He stumbles off into Heaven, a testament to the mercy of Our God.

Lastly, St. Peter, emerging from his office, says to Cardinal Ratzinger, "Joseph, your turn." TWELVE HOURS LATER, St. Peter stumbles out the door, apparently exhausted, saying "Oh God, that's the hardest thing I've ever done..."

In Cold Blood - A Political Prism?

Last Sunday I was reading the papers and I found an interesting piece about a well-known left-wing columnist commenting In Cold Blood – both the movie and the book. Until now, I have not seen the movie yet – so I won't discuss that part. But it seems the columnist and I read two different books - That's Art with a capital A, folks! You only need the rosy-red glasses to read a different work and you can sympathize with Perry Smith!

For me it was comprehension. You could see what a miserable life it was for the two murderers and their so-called adventures before and after their infamous massacre. But you could see that before there was a little ordinary life they could have continued.

You can go on and on about the Depression years, how difficult it was for the Smiths, but despite what the author says, they still had a chance – witness Bobo. The current TV-Law-and-Order version is that criminals have little chance of redemption. The Capote pals never found real remorse – according to the book. Maybe they found it, but then the author and the critic may have found it lessening the literary quality of the novel.

Anyway, sympathizing with the murderers feels like desecrating the Clutters' memory. That's the point. No piece victimizing the perpetrators will undo that.

Dr. sipmac has ranted.

Welcome to sipmacrants!

First of all let me tell you how I came here: I was reading an article in some colombian newspaper, then I remembered to visit the columnist’s blog, then I wanted to post a comment, and finally I ended opening my own blog. In a nutshell, it wasn’t unplanned although I was thinking about it long ago. I didn’t do anything about it beacause my ordinary life is enoguh of a mess to take care of. Anyway we are here, aren’t we?

There are blogs and blogs; you just take your pick. You know this better than me. Specialized ones and not-so-specialized ones. Never mind, mine is one I would call magical-comical-musical. I have lots of opinions in cool storage and now I am forcing myself to share. Don’t you be surprised if you find me ranting about trivial and important subjects without a rigorous approach, or rants in Spanish (my mother language). As I said, it’s only a lot of opinions that were in storage.

Anytime you land here, make yourself confortable. I’m looking for essays and articles I’ve already written but were erased from the hard disk in true embarrassment.

The issues may be hot, but I don’t want arguments, maybe a little discussion won’t harm anybody, don’t you think so? So, flaming and everything else is out of the question. My only hope is that you reader can enjoy while you read. As an opening act, I used a short essay “Niñez Eterna” or “Eternal Chilhood”. I will try to bring something else, but I have to carry on with the rest of my life first.

Yours truly,

April Camus
