			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are the songs, words (or term) and pictures for the first fortnight (fortnight means 14 days) of the year, since I decided I&#8217;d pick a song, a word and take a picture worth sharing each day (or two, if I skipped a day earlier).</p>
<p>The songs, normally pop into my head or I listen to them on a commercial, on the radio, or are a suggestion that a friend made like a casual thing. Most of the time, I think of the song as if it could be a &#8220;soundtrack&#8221; for a said moment, and when they pop into my head it&#8217;s the &#8220;&#8230; hmmm, what&#8217;s the name of that song again? &#8230;&#8221;, as if it was in some kind of radio inside my head, sometimes It takes a lot of effort (and friend&#8217;s effort) to properly &#8220;tag&#8221; them.</p>
<p><span id="more-269"></span></p>
<p><strong>Songs (you can listen to them via <a href="http://listen.grooveshark.com/">grooveshark</a>, it&#8217;s awesome <img src='http://slashfoo.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ):</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Toque Profundo &#8211; Cria Cuervos</li>
<li>Tenacious D &#8211; The Metal</li>
<li>Royksopp &#8211; Remind me</li>
<li>Cake &#8211; Never, Never Gonna Gonna Give You Up</li>
<li>Epica &#8211; The Obsessive Devotion</li>
<li>The Prodigy &#8211; Poison</li>
<li>Queen &#8211; Another one bites the dust</li>
<li>Metallica &#8211; Eye of the Beholder</li>
<li>Metallica &#8211; Am I Evil?</li>
<li>Real Life &#8211; Send Me An Angel</li>
<li>I feel pretty (West Side Story soundtrack)</li>
<li>L. Carlton ft. Lee Ritenoir &#8211; Closed Door Jam</li>

<li>Paul Simon &#8211; You Can Call Me Al</li>
</ul>
<p>The words (or terms). Be them news, messages, forum posts, stumbled upon links, comments people say, I ALWAYS find an interesting word, be it new or known, if it&#8217;s still in my head by the end of the day, that was the word of the day <img src='http://slashfoo.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Sometimes a day has more than one interesting/awesome word, I use them as spares if the other day&#8217;s word isn&#8217;t as interesting.</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;m bilingual, I&#8217;ll have to apologize for the &#8220;mixed&#8221; words in english and spanish.</p>

<p>Pictures are on my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slashfoo/sets/72157622992231599/">Project365 set on flickr</a> (feel free to leave comments/critique there or here), some numbers are mismatched between the day of the year and the number of the picture, but that&#8217;s because I either didn&#8217;t take a picture on that day (for whatever reason), or I took a portrait or a picture that had a brand name in it, and I don&#8217;t wish to make free publicity OR shatter someone&#8217;s privacy.</p>
<p>The purpose of taking these &#8220;Project365&#8243; pictures is to learn to do stuff with my camera or practice what I already know, and being able to produce one shareable picture a day sounded like a good challenge. The pictures in the set are at most just slightly edited (added the watermark, cropped, resized, and maybe some tint or hue manipulation).</p>

<p>&#8220;Short Skirt/Long Jacket&#8221; by <a title="Website for the band Cake" href="http://cakemusic.com/">Cake</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>I want a girl with a <strong>mind like a diamond</strong>.<br />
I want a girl who <strong>knows what&#8217;s best</strong>.<br />
I want a girl with shoes that cut,<br />
And <strong>eyes that burn</strong> like cigarettes.</p>
<p>I want a girl with the <strong>right allocations,</strong><br />
Who&#8217;s <strong>fast and thorough,</strong><br />
And <strong>sharp</strong> as a tack.<br />
She&#8217;s playing with her jewelry.<br />
She&#8217;s putting up her hair.<br />
She&#8217;s touring the facility,<br />
And picking up slack.</p>
<p>I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket&#8230;</p>
<p>I want a girl who gets up early.<br />
I want a girl who stays up late.<br />
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity,<br />
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape;<br />
With <strong>fingernails that shine</strong> like justice,<br />
And a <strong>voice that is dark</strong> like tinted glass.</p>
<p>She is fast, thorough,<br />
And sharp as a tack,<br />
She&#8217;s touring the facility,<br />
And picking up slack.</p>
<p>I want a girl with a short skirt and a long&#8230; long jacket.</p>
<p>I want a girl with a smooth liquidation.<br />
I want a girl with good dividends.<br />
At Citibank we will meet accidentally,<br />
We&#8217;ll start to talk when she borrows my pen.</p>
<p>She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest,<br />
She wants a car that will get her there,<br />
She&#8217;s changing her name from Kitty to Karen,<br />
She&#8217;s trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron.</p>
<p>I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket&#8230;</p></blockquote>
