So you want a brilliant cut for your rough diamond? In that case, you should get on with the cutting! That’s how I found myself looking for a suitable lapidarist. Since I was anything but your run-of-the-mill little rock, the master crafter also had to be special. The one fitting the bill happened to be truly excellent, but, alas, he did have his quirks, too. A recluse living on top of a tall, barren mountain, he did not take kindly to most uninvited intruders, sending them back rolling down the hill in the most unceremonious of manners. And he had plenty of secrets, too.

I had a plan; a good one that I thought through really well. But it only took a single cunning dwarf accompanied by two goons to force me into acting earlier than I’d planned to.

Numerosos estudios indican que el 40 por ciento de las acciones que ejecutas a diario no son decisiones reales, sino la consecuencia de tus hábitos. Los hábitos te ayudan a ahorrar energía mental, es decir, te hacen funcionar automáticamente sin tener que pensar cómo ejecutar las acciones que acostumbras a hacer. Por ejemplo, a diario repites muchas conductas automatizadas desde que te levantas: te lavas los dientes, abres la puerta.

Hace unos años me rompí por completo. Tanto como para que tuvieran que atarme a la cama de un hospital psiquiátrico para evitar que pudiera hacerme daño. No tengo ni idea de cuándo empezó a formarse mi locura. A lo mejor nací genéticamente predispuesto. A lo mejor fui macerando una depresión al callarme ciertas cosas por no preocupar a los demás. O a lo mejor simplemente hay cerebros que de la noche a la mañana hacen crec y se acabó.

Puede considerarse como una de las mejores comedias del teatro español del siglo XVII. El personaje central que es la condesa Diana de Belflor, mueve todos los hilos de la acción que tiene lugar entre continuos enredos, engaños y conflictos amorosos que reflejan unas inquietudes sexuales de los protagonistas, que van en contra de las convenciones sociales, la posición y el decoro.

The Diary of Nobody (1892) created a cultural icon, an English archetype. Anxious, accident-prone, occasionally waspish, Charles Pooter has come to epitomize English suburban life. His diary chronicles encounters with difficult tradesmen, the delights of home improvements, small parties, minor embarrassments, and problems with his troublesome son. The suburban world he inhabits is hilariously and painfully familiar in its small-mindedness and its essential decency.

For two years, I have been thinking of this place and how to get here. Every step in my grand masterplan was but a waystation en route to the main prize: the door. And what a special door it is! Behind it lies what will not only make me strong, but put me at the very top of this world...or at least close. At the moment, the door is as good as locked for me. Unapproachable. To get access, I will have to do my damnedest, because you cannot just buy your way to it using regular cash. One needs a special currency here: points. Rating points.
