Hmm... Can you guess which Pimentel is this Pimentel...? ;)

Hmm... Is Justice really improving in this world after all...?!?

On the date that, waaaaay back in 1431, the trial of one JOAN OF ARK began, we learn that a 9/11 plotter has his prison term increased! It was doubled in fact, in a German court of all places, in Hamburg to be more specific... Justice is improving, being meted out in a harsher way to those who deserve it too, in the country where, a relatively short time ago (what's 60-65 years in human history? Peanuts...) dementia and lunacy overtook an entire nation (or a good portion of it) and possessed the collective psyche enough to have them commit such atrocities... All in the name of the imaginary "master race"...! I should apologize for the very condensed -very spontaneous too- luminous history lesson... But I will not! ;) Suffice it to say - if Joan of Ark got the stake, 576 years ago today... Surely Mounir el Motassadeq deserves to get 15 years in prison... And to be decked all along the way... I know - easy one to say... Or type, really... Sue me, willya? ;)

Hmm... THOSE are the Big Hits of 2007...?

Unlike my stance in other areas (...) I will not pretend to be an "all-knowing expert" of what makes the ever ebullient music industry "pop"... (!) But I can still come up with a TOP 10 of what are, (IMLO) in my luminous opinion, the biggest hits of the year that is ending TONIGHT... 2007 was, in my eyes, Timbaland's year. His "Shock Value" release was something else and he managed to be both artist AND producer/promoter of other artists on it! Nelly Furtado had another revealing year (though revealing she might be flimsy a bit wasn't exactly a high point in her career) and she also collaborated with Timbaland, not-so coincidentally... Top spot goes to RIHANNA though - as her song expresses so "spunkily", just in its title, what I summarily feel about a certain designated driver that I know, a ninny by the name of ROSA... (!) Nods go also to the likes of Sean Kingston, who made a splash with his ode to being -gulp- suicidal? Took guts to...

hmm... golden globes?

Ever wondered why the hell they started rewarding cheap TV without much in the way of standards of any kind -often employing the same thespians, over and over again- AND WHY did they ever decide to call these things "THE GOLDEN GLOBES" as this clearly doesn't always involve the whole damn globe and there's no real gold to be dug up - nowhere!!! The most prestigious award they have to give out, truth be told, probably would be the CAROL BURNETT (ACHIEVEMENT) AWARD and they've given a grand total of... THREE TIMES (including the one given away tonight: to 98 year-old Norman Lear! Good thing they didn't wait any longer - eh? As they could have given it to him last year: instead, they chose to give it to ELLEN...!!! That's the video above... The inaugural one -below- was Carol Burnett herself - duh) Yeah, yeah - alright, alright; they've got the CECIL B. De MILLE AWARD, too... ...

l.p. - luminous pondering - hmm...
