I didn’t know but it seems like he’s quite famous and won many important prizes. It’s known that Ando studied architecture himself, travelling around the world with the money he won playing boxing matches. <em>The Church of the Light</em> was built in 1989 is in Osaka. The use of concrete is Ando’s sign but what makes it special is that cross. There is not any cross but that cross of light. I don’t remember exactly the words, but he thinks that places where people go to pray have to be in touch with the nature (in this case the light works like that). I completely agree. I’ve read interesting things to tell about this church, the meanings of every single part of the place, but it’s a church, the most important thing is feeling the spirituality.</span> <div></div>Quileskhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16148455441104634414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15359901.post-52407104309825272007-03-16T18:50:00.000+01:002008-12-09T11:07:07.531+01:00sound : M.I.A.<div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwmoXLxZiYCAQ-JFn-3kpNA0CIst_Wa_PqQ8LMZIw1WjaZnB5I_PNOS82thPvT6yt0Yxhyphenhyphen5VLzuKhZfsq4yIFaqQZyabXgAglm1_cSUKlxYeQcgx02o9-QBj97TsJQFllzlHei/s1600-h/m.i.a..jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5042581509626384738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwmoXLxZiYCAQ-JFn-3kpNA0CIst_Wa_PqQ8LMZIw1WjaZnB5I_PNOS82thPvT6yt0Yxhyphenhyphen5VLzuKhZfsq4yIFaqQZyabXgAglm1_cSUKlxYeQcgx02o9-QBj97TsJQFllzlHei/s400/m.i.a..jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPSv4WI1qAZkH6jxi0qvjHlCo5o19kmJqEsrjPIw5rrd6EyMczgdhEQiYE4X5kjck0uhL2pVIrs8BoeS9dBCyALzGFkbe9blWKNes7ffOqmAgQijIIBZRzyW6u6HDvl6ZR_hN1/s1600-h/m.i.a.2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5042581655655272818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPSv4WI1qAZkH6jxi0qvjHlCo5o19kmJqEsrjPIw5rrd6EyMczgdhEQiYE4X5kjck0uhL2pVIrs8BoeS9dBCyALzGFkbe9blWKNes7ffOqmAgQijIIBZRzyW6u6HDvl6ZR_hN1/s200/m.i.a.2.jpg" border="0" /></a>I really think that <em>Maya Arulpragasam</em> a.k.a. <em>M.I.A.</em> (stands for Missing in Action) has been a real threat for the whole music world when she appeared. She supposed to be a begginer but then she created a school, M.I.A.’s Old School. And she’s hot. I bought her first major album Arular when I listened <em>Bucky Done Gun</em> and <em>Sunshowers</em> (her easiest song to listen). It was a shock. Σ(゚д゚;)<br /><br />She’s a singer from U.K. There were weird and savage sounds before, such like <em>Kelis</em>, <em>Timbaland</em> or that kind of artists. And for the instance I thought M.I.A. was kind of <em>Nelly Furtado</em> (non frontier singer) but she was specially original and creative.

She’s often referred to as the daughter of <em>Arul Pragasam</em>, who was active in <em>Tamil independence movement</em>. He also received training from the PLO in Lebanon. She got involved in a controversy when she released the single called Sunshowers because its lyrics inluded “Like PLO, I don’t surrendo”.

Jvari Monastery, or Monastery of the Cross, is a Georgian Orthodox monastery near the World Heritage site </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">Mtskheta</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">. In the fourth century a female evangelist </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">St. Nino</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> credited with covering the country to Christianity, stayed here to pray and erected a cross on Mtskheta's highest peak. A minor church of the Holy Cross was built in the second half of the 6th century, and a bigger church -the </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">Great Church</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">- was erected over the wooden cross between 586 and 605. The Great Church has a splendid interior and facades and is representative of the tetraconch architectural type that was popular not only in Georgia, but the whole region of South Caucaus. Actually it is considered as a model of many other churches. The importance of Jvari complex increased over time and attracted pilgrims from beyond Georgia’s borders.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Over the centuries the Jvari buildings have suffered damage from erosion (plus acid rain) and inadequate maintenance. The Small Church has no roof and the mosaics and frescoes that decorated its interiors have largely disappeared. The Centre for Architectural Heritage of Georgia has proposed conservation plan, but if the buildings are to survive as a meaningful relic of the early Christian movement in the region, then immediate action will be required.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibKfS6lJsEVYQdKYL8fU86WJwvqrIUnPFRxXkApuGlmT0x1DYhc4EkVCmxtUbOFMXJuLt2ildrlJ99aVDLkfxc85LsTpNfaCgxRw7mtR5H5keZIh7pJ6jt-7hrgftngS67f5dp/s1600-h/Jvari.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibKfS6lJsEVYQdKYL8fU86WJwvqrIUnPFRxXkApuGlmT0x1DYhc4EkVCmxtUbOFMXJuLt2ildrlJ99aVDLkfxc85LsTpNfaCgxRw7mtR5H5keZIh7pJ6jt-7hrgftngS67f5dp/s400/Jvari.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034858769312224370" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I have never heard about Jvari, even all I know about Georgia was that that's origin of British singer </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;">Katie Melua</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">, I'm sorry.

I would like to visit this monastery since it has been difficult to find pictures of it. Well I guess Jvari isn't that famous and not many people are interested in. So let's improve our knowledge together. You know, it's funny because when I write this section, I often think about the relation between ignorance and sin.</span>Quileskhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16148455441104634414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15359901.post-36180725283813700172007-02-11T23:08:00.000+01:002008-12-09T11:07:08.923+01:00disappearing : 06-the Arctic ice shelf<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAqTOu6hzwsWNEQQiPciGSiTRPa8xWbfytV6QCJs9QraHkPhlo4icDyEEDLrS24PQ-976lU5X7AVhHZ1soghR2i08e-w1aDvMOpM2q-_9s3Q0rkDMKra5OrVcR49gEeMeUh7ut/s1600-h/Arctic+Ice.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAqTOu6hzwsWNEQQiPciGSiTRPa8xWbfytV6QCJs9QraHkPhlo4icDyEEDLrS24PQ-976lU5X7AVhHZ1soghR2i08e-w1aDvMOpM2q-_9s3Q0rkDMKra5OrVcR49gEeMeUh7ut/s200/Arctic+Ice.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5030402161322216514" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: trebuchet ms;" lang="EN-GB">Our grandchildren may never see the <span style="font-style: italic;">Arctic ice shelf</span>.

And they are about bringing a new album this year. The member is composed of four and the lead vocalist and main songwriter is <span style="font-style: italic;">Francis Healy</span>. I think people agree that he’s one of the most talented songwriters in <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> right now.<o:p></o:p></span> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p>Francis recognized he received the influence of some songwriters, such as <span style="font-style: italic;">Joni Mitchell</span> (I wish I could listen their cover of her <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">song</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype style="font-style: italic;" st="on">River</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>), <span style="font-style: italic;">Paul McCartney</span> and so on. To me, his songs seem to be sort of good elaborated (like a hand work thing). Well done, without unnecessary ornaments. And actually they sound independent, melancholic, and strangely catchy. My favorite song is <span style="font-style: italic;">The Humpty Dumpty Love Song</span> from the album <span style="font-style: italic;">The Invisible Band</span>. I think invisible explains a lot about Travis: they feel that their music is more important than the band making it.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p>They often make funny music videos.

The introduction to the champion named Higashino and the Japanese national anthem have finished, and the referee introduces to the challenger: Pihyorirenary Boririren (fictional name of course) from the Republic of Hiyakipolineki-sesanamobe (fictional name of course). And then the national anthem starts, which consists of strange voices and it is too long that the challenger complains.

The song <span style="font-style: italic;">Wise Up</span> caught specially my attention and I went to get the soundtrack. The Magnolia soundtrack succeeded because songs from Aimee Mann's album <span style="font-style: italic;">Bachelor No. 2</span> inspired <span style="font-style: italic;">Paul Thomas Anderson</span> in the creation of his work. And two songs were written exclusively for the film. That makes sense how the film and music are so closed.<br /><br />She's one of the best rock singer-songwriter ever. I'm not quite sure what makes her so indispensable. She looks like normal woman (although I can't believe she was born in 1960!), her music doen't impress that much. There's nothing glamourous, spectacular or even big. However, then something extraordinary happens. She has got her own style near simplicity (or boringness if you prefer) but once you like one of her songs, she's absolutely addictive.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszweqb6Hx4F89F3KAkObZ4fcxwzqf0co8Z6Om9CtviLNvi3n2xaTjVPBL95ZHibpzuJ6FtQVcthGfREGRQp_r5LDh13FudCGUgLr8G_E9KRfybA4KNvux0NDTp1gtksYvyTl3/s1600-h/the+forgotten+arm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszweqb6Hx4F89F3KAkObZ4fcxwzqf0co8Z6Om9CtviLNvi3n2xaTjVPBL95ZHibpzuJ6FtQVcthGfREGRQp_r5LDh13FudCGUgLr8G_E9KRfybA4KNvux0NDTp1gtksYvyTl3/s200/the+forgotten+arm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017096998744934770" border="0" /></a>This is my opinion but her album <span style="font-style: italic;">The Forgotten Arm</span> is a masterpiece. Firstly, there's no unworthy track here (something impossible to find nowadays). This is a concept album, there's a story of the boxer John and his girlfriend Caroline, both try to escape their problems by running away together. Actually all the songs are similar one another, Aimee Mann's sign is strong (as always). But it's strange because, in The Forgotten Arm, every song has its own universe. They're kind of melancholic but she doesn't impose you sadness, she just sings pleasant melody line. The lyrics are beautiful as well, just take a look at the 9th song title: <span style="font-style: italic;">That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart</span> (when you wrote it). And all the songs together make great example of artistic expression. She does it so simple but I think it's not easy. Simply the best album of 2005. It never gets tasteless. The more you listen, the more it gets flavorful. If you'd like to, visit to her <a href="http://www.aimeemann.com/">home page</a> and click LISTEN. You can listen three first songs and read a "book".<br /><br />She started her career being the vocalist in the punk rock group <span style="font-style: italic;">Young Snakes</span> (1982), later in the more known band <span style="font-style: italic;">Til Tuesday</span> (1985) creating four albums, and she switched to solo in 1990. She was a little bit unlucky having troubles with record companies and finally got some independence. Seven albums have been released in total. She also appeared in the <span style="font-style: italic;">I Am Sam</span> soundtrack, where she sang with her husband <span style="font-style: italic;">Michael Penn</span> the <span style="font-style: italic;">Beatles</span>'s cover <span style="font-style: italic;">two of us</span>. Her last album was Christmas season title <span style="font-style: italic;">One More Drifter in the Snow</span>, with oldies influence. The <span style="font-style: italic;">Christmas Song</span> and her own song <span style="font-style: italic;">Calling On Mary</span> were the best songs.<br /><br />I found a 1995 song <span style="font-style: italic;">That's just what you are</span>. Catchy song. The video is a little bit old but I guess it's watchable. Give it a try if you want to.<br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4rVcOMCltW4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4rVcOMCltW4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7le869IG-eTHUpBNw7kpOBJqDxqHVcVRITcsIYYgbpiAADDqb5_h12-aJ9nQk80rCxr8eRXzpTIi5u_O6q0VDBvPkyNnS1DaNiVsQmzh_RL6JMnoCmCrSfYrDYK90MwqEAX5w/s1600-h/aimee+mann+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7le869IG-eTHUpBNw7kpOBJqDxqHVcVRITcsIYYgbpiAADDqb5_h12-aJ9nQk80rCxr8eRXzpTIi5u_O6q0VDBvPkyNnS1DaNiVsQmzh_RL6JMnoCmCrSfYrDYK90MwqEAX5w/s400/aimee+mann+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5017096865600948578" border="0" /></a>Quileskhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16148455441104634414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15359901.post-23503229451499449112007-01-05T00:33:00.000+01:002008-12-09T11:07:14.114+01:00film : magnolia<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://midnighthotel.blogspot.com/2007/01/person-melora-walters.html">Melora </a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">takes me to talk about </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Magnolia</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigXYsaNAYVMCptG2C8rxkxUgoGdNE5-bhBkySYySsMy5h20-T6TM5r_IJTO8T3xFLA5hoI-NN_4wUcvmDSCwW4td87wmIJ7WPCrgcrw1z_u3HuGxtVj96KxLDok0k69IAwj7WU/s1600-h/magnolia.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigXYsaNAYVMCptG2C8rxkxUgoGdNE5-bhBkySYySsMy5h20-T6TM5r_IJTO8T3xFLA5hoI-NN_4wUcvmDSCwW4td87wmIJ7WPCrgcrw1z_u3HuGxtVj96KxLDok0k69IAwj7WU/s200/magnolia.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016323445338392738" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Nowadays there're many ensemble films like Crash or Babel.

How the past makes us vulnerable and threatens the future. Also about coincidence, facts, events, will. Before starting with different stories, there's a very interesting introduction. Then everything starts and makes us think. It's not easy film to watch, just like life itself. Definitely I need to watch it again, writing here I realized that I'm forgetting things, although the its taste is still here in my head and some scenes are really hard to forget.
