A Little Bit of Hurt

If you keep up with Elafant-itis, then you surely have already been blessed with this masterpiece of music.
This gem of musical perfection was just too good, I had to put it on my blog.
Here is a photo of the album cover to wet your appetite:



Here is the link
When you download it, it will only show up as two tracks because its Side A and Side B of an old LP, the individual track names are handwritten in the photo above.
I am currently listening to this wonderful music, sitting in my house on a cloudy day drinking tea and i couldn't feel any more cozy

lots and lots of flowing water

This weekend I visited Iguazu falls. It was one of the most awe-inspiring, magically, enormous, places I have ever been. There was so much water flowing through the falls last weekend. It was very challenging to capture this wonderful place through photos due to the immense noise of the crashing water, the constant movement, and the enormity of the falls in general. I couldn't help but think about the first people to stumble upon these waterfalls, it must have seemed like the edge of the earth. Being close to these falls made me feel so small. The beauty of these falls is nothing humans could ever create. I had an amazing trip. It was incredibly relaxing, our hostel had a pool! And it was a needed break from the city.
Some photos:

One day we went on a hike away from the huge falls and ended up at this waterfall



Then we went swimming in the waterfall, I went in too but I had to get a photo



This is devil's throat, the most incredible part of the entire park



This looks like the edge of the world to me, a gigantic water black hole



A view from the top of one of the waterfalls



The other section of the park that's not devil's throat



We got very close to this waterfall but my camera was getting soaked so I couldn't capture the moment



A nice rainbow



Another view of most of the falls



Group photo!



Drinking mate in the morning as we walked towards the falls



The mate water available for the public, this is how many people drink mate in this country, they have to have a gigantic thermos of hot water



that was the trip!

Penelope Cruz

On friday night I saw the new Almodóvar movie called Los Abrazos Rotos, or Broken Embraces.
It was fantastic. I cannot really put into words how fabulous this movie was, from the filming, the colors, the story, the cinematography, the acting - it was all very amazing
and i understood it all in spanish!
I would like to point out, however, the perfection of Penelope Cruz.
I decided that she is the most beautiful woman in the world, i already knew this but this movie solidified my opinion. Here is a photo of her beauty:

and here is the trailer for your enjoyment:

i have no idea when this movie comes out in the US and around the rest of the world, but keep your eyes out cause its a winner

Kraft!

There is a pretty heated debate going on right now in buenos aires protesting the Kraft company

i stumbled upon a huge protest accidentally on monday evening and since been very interested in what is going on. You should read the article but here is how i see it:
July: high levels of swine flu invading argentina, very contagious disease. Kraft employees do not have enough hygienic supplies (soap, paper towels, etc.), employees ask for more supples. Kraft says no. Employees protest, they do a sit-in i think and effectively shut down the factory. About 150 employees get fired.
August: factory still closed cause of protesting but Kraft will not re-hire the employees they have fired
September: Monday was supposed to be the day that kraft reopens their factory, HUGE protest that I accidently ran into. At this point the protesters are no longer just former employees, now they are political groups also, socialists, the workers party, etc...
Yesterday they were supposed to decide about whether or not they were going to re-hire the former employees but i cannot find any news on it today

pretty interesting stuff
