Mobile broadband can be slow. For anyone with mobile broadband who also is frequently using the social network Facebook – Fishbowl for Facebook can be a good alternative to web browsers.

I have installed Fishbowl on my laptop, a good solution for me.

Christmas 2009 – the second Christmas since the birth of our son. We were at the house of the youngest of his cousins on his dads side of the family. The Christmas-table consisted of traditional Peruvian, Chilean and Swedish Xmas courses – One day after I’m still full! Cristiano spent most of last Christmas in the babysitter only being 2 months old. He played so much this year until he passed out around 10 – 11 pm.

We had a perfect Christmas. Thank you everyone and God bless you.

Merry Christmas from Banana Munki!

The Machinist, a mystery/thriller with the original title El Maquinista, has 7 wins and 8 nominations. The film is English but shot mostly in Barcelona, Spain, the year 2004. Rated R for violence and disturbing images, sexuality and language. 7.8 rating out of 10 possible at the imdb, I would give it a 7. It’s always enjoyable to watch a Christian Bale movie.

Christian Bale dropped an impressive (and horrifying) 63 pounds for the role as Trevor Reznik, an industrial worker with insomnia who hasn’t slept for a  year and slowly begins to doubt his sanity as bizarre things start happening. I won’t reveal the plot and anyone who is interested can voluntarily click this link and to read the plot summary for The Machinist at The Internet Movie Databse.

The production designers had to painstakingly re-create the look and feel of Los Angeles with many ”everyday Americana” items in both interior AND exterior shoots. This included cigarettes, alcohol, street signs, traffic signals, public telephones, retail signage, automobiles, license plates, and also shooting in what writer Scott Kosar called ”some of the worst areas of Barcelona”.
