An advise for americans (due to its simplicity), and sooner for europeans. Comic actors play a funny take, Don’t buy things you can’t afford.

And here, in Spain, we still have The Magic Kings the Three Wise Men, on Jan the 6th… (Yes, Santa Claus, the revenge of consumerism).

Happy 2007.

Yesterday, it was the Tenerife Carnival closure. The Coso (closure parade) was eventually celebrated this Saturday, after being cancelled last tuesday due to weather conditions.

I’m not very fond of Carnivals, but I think it’s a beautiful event. Many tourists come to the island every year to see them.

The music (mainly Salsa) plays very loud until day dawns, and a 300.000 people crowd fills the street as a human tide.
This year, however, due to bad weather conditions and to citi council decision to forbid music on the street in some places (due, they say, some local neightbour protest) carnival has gone rather poor. Just the shadow it use to be.

In a previous post, I commented about some geek fans and a home-made video they made emulating a Final Fantasy VIII battle.

Well, this time it’s Mario Bros’ turn, filmed by some japanese fans. There’s a surprise at the end.

Astounding (but REALLY) fan video about the famous Final Fantasy VIII videogame for PlayStation.

The movements and gestures, customes and characterization is so accurate, that it really looks a game-playing session (pay special attention to the Shiva gag).

It seems the tropical storm Delta is approching here, the Canaries, with a wind speed of 100Km/h (about 62 Miles/hour). It’s not that hard compared with the desaster of Katrina, but people here are used to have a soft and warm weather for the entire the year (winters are a bit cooler than people thinks, however).

It’s supposed to arrive tonight. I hope my monitor won’t be struck by a lightning again, as it was some years ago.

Update: a friend of mine, Khertz, has given me the URL of a public cam. It takes the street next to my home almost in realtime.
