Miosotis I Milena Velba




During the Expo Zaragoza, brought to test various electric cars and walked around the city. I had the chance to see one of them closely and saw that it made no sound at all. That is fine for noise pollution and all that, just ..., if you can not hear atropellarte. Lately I've heard that the new models are thinking purposely introduce noise, so that will not happen.

It's funny sometimes that something is too perfect in itself a problem.

Something similar happened with the first digital mobile phone. The sound quality was so good, that there was the slightest background noise. This, you might say, is great, what is the problem? The problem is that users, accustomed to regular phone, if the caller kept talking about thought communication was cut and hung. So the solution was to include, incidentally, an imperfection, a slight background noise, which they called "comfort noise ." In this way at all times had a reference that was audible communication.

I think this is applicable to many aspects of life, we do not want things to be too perfect. Women voted the most beautiful show some asymmetry, we do not know why, but fascinating. The perfect barbie is not usually the most desirable woman.

not want our partner to be perfect from day to day, if not, how could we defend ourselves when we blame our shortcomings? Small flaws in character, in its logic, seem surprisingly attractive and often cause us some tenderness.

Public figures also earn when they show a weakness. There is talk that that makes them more human.

Perhaps that question. Of humanity. People are not designed to be perfect, certainly not easily accept that something is, there is always need that background noise, we comfort of our imperfections.

What To Wear At A Camo Party

The first

Almost thirty
actions of a quiet Saturday:

- Wake up my account, no alarm at a reasonable hour.

- breakfast quietly, with the blinds fully up and the light pouring into the room.

- Explore the Internet in search of the two Italian madrigals I learned years ago in that chorus without a name ... and find: "Io Voria you have the grief of mine" and "Più di me Lieta donna non è alcuna ".

- Answer emails, share interesting links with my roommate from the next room.

- A little snooping over the web, from link to link, from page to page at random until an unexpected the Wikipedia article.

- Put a washer, cook, watch the news, lunch.

- View a bland desktop film between the head and one eye on the fluid rush of Twitter.

- Tender clothes, order books, read, read, read.

- Give me a shower and paint the eyes with kohl for the mere pleasure of it.

- dress warmly-favorite jersey, jeans, boots, hat, gloves, coat, scarf, simply go to the supermarket.

- stroll through the neighborhood to cart Shopping still empty, accompanied by The National .

- Buy the ingredients to re-do, among other things, lemon cookies in your recommended Marcy blog .

- Get home, put away the shopping, make the cookie dough and put it to rest while trying to decide what movie to see more later.

- Go to screen a set of phrases that will become the perfect excuse, the most trivial pretext for the first entry of the year in Ant pea.

Please keep going. Happy January.
