Oh, wow! I am only now aware of the upcoming Okamiden game for DS. It's so cute! Cute and graphically impressive at the same time? You don't say! And did I read that right? The name of the wolf you play as in this game is called Chibiratsu? Haa.
I want this game. Using a stylus for brush techniques just makes sense and I am now kind of pissed they didn't think of doing this sooner. Oh, right, 'cause you jerkholes at Clover Studios had to disband. That's why.
But dammit, it's cute. I can't stay mad at you, Capcom. Now where's my Rockman Dash sequel, suckas?
You know you've been whoring out the Rockman sequels for years, why is this the only spin-off series you refuse to touch?
Remember that movie with Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning in it that came out around February, I think? Push, I think it was called. I don't really remember 'cause I never saw it. Apparently it came out recently in Mexico (Or is being released soon?) and you know what its title is in Mexico? Heroes. Really?
That's confusing. What do they call Heroes, then?
(And yes, Heroes is spelled exactly the same way in English than in Spanish. Only there's an accent on the first e. I don't know how to type one of those. Sorry)
Oh, and you want to know what they called The Hangover? They still use the English title logo even though its Spanish title is ¿Que Paso Anoche? (What happened last night?) Interesting.
And Land of the Lost was just "Lost World." A few critics panned it heinously. They panned it here, too, I know. But Mexico is unaware of the existence of the original Sid and Marty Krofft show and all the yummy cheesiness within. So they were less forgiving. I could sure go for an H. R. PufN'Stuf movie.
Isn't it interesting finding out what movies are called in other countries?
Pulp Fiction was called 500 Peso Milkshake.
Just kidding.
This is another week of Niños Ricos! Golly! And the boys are nowhere to be seen.
Here's what happened:
Monday: Nothing.
Tuesday: Nothing.
Wednesday: Especially nothing because all the nighttime novelas were pre-empted by the Mexico v. Honduras match. Well, that's not true. We got a recap episode cobbled together from last Thursday to Tuesday's episodes.
Well, here's a tiny bit of what happened anyway:
Veronica and Lucía look like they've finally made up. A repaired relationship with Santiago and her sister? If ever you should feel the need to make up with an estranged family member, nothing works like botched plastic surgery. Bitch up your face for your family, won't you?
Matías bought, like, a shitload of AN UNDISCLOSED SUBSTANCE from Lord Thuggington Arturo and their shit almost gets caught by the po-lice. I think he wants it so he can try and get Hard Bar shut down. Mati's pissed because thanks to Alex, Mati, Miguel and Juan are no longer allowed inside.
Esteban was almost kicked out of Hard Bar, too. Alex told Pipe (Oh I get it. His name is Felipe) he could stay, for now. So what does he do? He gets to drinkin'! And when David shows up at the bar, he actually gets drunk with him. They get all buddy buddy and shit until Esteban goes up to the DJ and asks for the mic, with which to profess his undying love for Alex. After this Alex has had enough and has his shit thrown out. Ha!
Afterwards, Alex totally makes out with David. Word.
Also at Hard Bar, Isa and Gabriel meet for a few drinks. Isa's so pissed at Esteban's declaration (which dumb bitch totally thought was for her) that she ends up taking Gabriel home and having her way with him. And by that I mean they GOT. IT. ON. And then they tried to get it on again in the living room but Isa's dad catches them. Oh, 'twas a whacky situation, to be sure!
that's all that's worth knowing. I'll let you know if Santi or Diego show up for Thursday's ep.

Hey, what up. It's Thursday. No sign of the boys. I fear for their lives.
Absolutely nothing of interest happened tonight! Except this:
Martha (Rocío and Gabriel's sister) called up Manny's lawyer Vanessa to let her know that he's all right and in a safe place. Vanessa thinks they're calling to demand random but Martha's like, omg, no! and Manuel makes her hang up.
What else? Ah, yes! We finally get to see the extent to which Veronica's face is bitched up. Martha (having been re-hired by Roberto now that they've got some munnies again) shows up at the hospital and Veronica says she wants her to take her to her plastic surgeon's office. The good one. His office also happens to be within the confines of Central Hospital and she needs her face looked at right away.
When he takes the bandages off he gives the standard look of shock and awe, followed by Veronica's obligatory, "The mirror. THE MIRROR!" shenanigans.
Soooooooooo, aside from being really bruised, swollen and puffy, Vero's face has these two huge gashes down either side, and some other nasty cuts up above her eyes. It looked like they went pumpkin carvin on her face or some shit.
She starts screaming, says she looks like a monster. They have to sedate her shit.
Cesar is sick of Amelia getting all stupid jealous if he so much as looks at another woman. But now she's like, ohh...you know what? I forgot to tell you I'm not 17 or 18 like most of my classmates. I'm 16. Deal with that, brotha.
Guess what Isa's up to? Even though Alex is still super great pissed at Esteban, Isa is still determined to keep the two of them apart. Juliana suggests if she were to get ahold of them nekkid pics of her from before colegialalindacolegiala.com was shut down she'd be good to go. Even better, if she could get pics of Alex's actual rape. Oh, snap!
So who do they go to? Sweet little Mati, of course! He denies having anything to do with Alex's rape, but just to be a dick, he implies that Esteban might know a little somethin'-somethin' about it. Gaspariffic.
And to set things up nicely for Friday (technically Thursday's episode) Don Jorge tells Vanessa if she can't tell him where Manuel is within the next 24 hours then he's going to rain down hell upon all the other rich folks' chillun'. Gasp! He's totally going to kill
Esteban!
And Alex!
And David!
And Santiago!
And Diego!
And Amelia!
And Juan!
And PSP kid Miguel!
And Isa!
And Matías!
And Juliana!
And Lesbian girl Laura!
And Anaís!
And Manuel!
Oh, wait. Not him.
See you Friiiiiiiiday.

It is Friday, and Santiago lives! Isn't that swell? Well, then, let's get to it.
Mr. Donelly gets a phone call from somebody disguising his voice, saying that he needs to close the school if he knows what's good for him. Really, it's PSP kid Miguel and Mati, talking through a glass (in the school caf, no less) prank calling Donelly to try and get out of school. Mr. Donelly's like...oh shit. School under threat. Get the kids out.
Rocío went to Vanessa's office to let her know that Manuel was still safe, and where to find him. That's all well and good, but when she gets there they tell her that Vanessa's office is no longer in that building. When Rocío gets back she and Manuel decide to take off. I didn't get to hear this part (thanks, pops) so I'm not exactly sure why they left. Maybe it was to make sure Gabriel and Martha stay safe or some crap.
Alex is sick and tired of having to deal with Esteban and Isa every time she turns around. Esteban won't stop hounding her, telling her he's in love with her. And Isa won't stop gettin' all up in her grille about how she's never going to let her and Esteban be together. Alex has had enough and cries to Santiago about how she's sick of this rich kid bullcrap. "I tried to warn you about that school, Alex. Esteban will stop at nothing until he wins you over and Isa will never admit to losing to you."
To take her mind off her rich kid troubles, Santi asks, "Why don't you come with me to see my mom?"
But maybe that wasn't a very good idea. Veronica doesn't want anyone to see her now that she knows what her face looks like. Santi tries to calm her down but she ain't havin' it. He tries to give her a kiss but she turns away and he settles for burying his face in her shoulder all sad-like. I felt legitimately bad for him. He tries to cheer her up but she just says, "Keep your pity." Roberto calls Santiago and tells him he's going to try and get Veronica discharged so they can take her home. He's probably also doing this so Santi will stay at home, too. Why? Keep reading, yo
Vanessa met with Cesar and Roberto earlier. She's like, uhhhhhhhhhhh we got a tiny problem. That problem being that Don Jorge is pissed that no one can find his son, and if they don't soon, then all the other parents' kids are gonna pay. But you already know this!
Cesar calls all the parents together and gives them the gist of the situation. They're less than pleased.
Miguel, Matías and Juan are all watching TV. And they're bored as fuck. Because the three of them are being stared down by Cesar's bodyguards. "Uh, you can go now." says Juan, but the bodyguards ain't havin' it. They've received orders from Cesar not to let the three of them out of their sight. "But we're in the house, where are we gonna go?" But nope. They're not going anywhere. Miguel says "Good goin', Matías." because the three of them just think that their prank backfired on them. They don't know about Don Jorge yet. Haw.
Oh no! Lesbian girl Laura's girlfriend Flora broke up with her! A distraught Laura goes to Anaís' house to try and get some feelgood medicine so she can forget her troubles. Anais thinks it over and decides not to let her have any. Instead she decides they should talk it out, like the gal pals they now are since the day Laura and Diego came out at school. It turns out Flora left Laura because of her raging lesbian boner for Dorotea (She really is gorgeous so I don't blame Laura). The hug the two girls give each other after their little chat makes me think this whole scene is laying the groundwork for a future more-than-friends relationship between Laura and Anaís. Which is why I'm telling you about it. Watch out, now!
It's the end of Friday's episode! And some random bodyguard type dudes grab Esteban and shove him into a car before speeding off. Oh shit! Kidnap!
The teaser for next Monday's episode shows Esteban in some chain-link enclosure of sorts surrounded by very scary, large men. Don Jorge calls Monica and is basically like.....Hey, Monica? What's up? Listen, FIND MY SON, BITCH or Esteban gets it. Oooh~~!
¡Pásatelas super duuuper!
Pero si tu quieres seremos amigos
Keeping an eye on the world going by his window
