PEAM, Tuesday 6/25/13 (#77): Relocations and Dislocations
Briefly:
Cardenas proudly shows off his no-longer-mysterious tube TV/telenovela collection to Chatita.
At home, Eli is despondent that Vero moved out. Minerva tries to cheer him up, saying there's always hope. But she sounds like she's quoting a fortune cookie. Meanwhile, Marisela is coming up the walk and thinking that this palatial estate is just the place for her.
The boner specialist says that not only will Alma and Rogue have to wait before they can have relations, but Alma will have to sleep in another bed. Otherwise, you know, she might thrash around in her sleep and knock that thing clean off of him by mistake. (Yes. We'll just say it was a mistake.) Patymelt pretends to be amazed that Alma isn't just climbing the walls in frustration to be with her new husband. She gloats openly in front of Rogue and imagines laying a passionate kiss on him in front of Alma.
Chucho comes home to Vero's surprise dinner. He is very, very slow to understand that she intends to live with him; but when he finally understands, he refuses. Emphatically. Sort of. But she is so pathetic: she has nowhere to go. She has no money. Eli cut off all her bank cards and whatnot, and she spent all the rest on groceries for this dinner. (Note for Vero next time: you don't need to buy two cows to feed three people for one meal.)
Fernando actually gets a warmer welcome from his cellmate than Vero got from Chucho. By bedtime, they have bonded sufficiently for Fernando to confide that he had nothing to do with Rogue's crime; he never made a dime off of it; he's loyal to Rogue because Rogue cared for Fernando like a father; and their father was never around when they were growing up.
One more thing...
Alma tells Rogue that she's been summoned to Avon's Maximum Wrinkle-Stopping Ultimate Mosquito-Repelling Supreme Control Center Anti-Aging Home Office Anti-Smudge Mega-Headquarters in Toluca. She has to go tomorrow. Rogue suspects this won't turn out well for him.

Porque el Amor Manda #76, Monday 24 June. What happens when you call a girl a princess and put her on a pedestal.
So Val's gone walkabout from the office, and everyone is friqueando. They look "everywhere", meaning mostly in their own area. The guards say she hasn't left the building, so Chucho runs down the fire stairs, and then back up again, to show off his fitness. Then he searches the conference room and men's room back in the admin area. No luck. He runs down to the garage, and Alma follows. Val isn't there, but our Trepid Heroes have time for some Significant Looks and a leisurely chat about having faith before they take up the search once more...back in the admin office.
Meanwhile, down in the bodega, row upon row of boxes is neatly stacked on racks. Val finds one of only three wooden crates in the whole place, half full of packing peanuts, decides this is her princess carriage, and climbs in and closes it. See, this is what happens when you keep telling little girls they are princesses. So here come our warehouse dudes, who of course need to lift that almost-empty wooden crate way up to the top of a high and precarious stack of cardboard boxes, which are not on racks, with the forklift. Their only task for the day done, they leave. Val is friqueando and screaming for Daddy.

Corazon Indomable, #31, Monday, June 24, 2013 –“Woman of Steel” MariAle Teaches Casino Skanks a Few Lessons in the Art of Seduction…..Without Trying!!!
Recap by LatinaInMD
I went to see “Man of Steel” this weekend. Then I returned home to watch MariAle’s odyssey on Episode 31 of C.I. and realized that both characters have much more in common than “Clark Kent Syndrome”: (i) both have powers/skills beyond human comprehension; (ii) he can kill with his piercing blue eyes; she could kill with her piercing green eyes; (iii) both deal with dimwits who fail to grasp their own inferiority; (iv) both see fighting evil and doing justice as their life’s destiny; and (v) last but not least, both begin life as simple country folk and end up in the city looking like supermodels. (Feel free to add to the list.)

Note: some scenes are combined.
We begin with Octavio losing his shirt…..figuratively.
(Sorry ladies, no dice. We are still waiting for THAT big
reveal!!!!) He and MariAle lock eyes. (If her looks could kill!!!)
She tells him she has the feeling that he is a gambling addict, otherwise she
can’t explain to herself what he just did. He tells her he did it on
purpose, “for her”, to be able to “approach her” (“abordarla” – a bit of a
double entendre, as it also means “to climb aboard”). “You don’t say,”
she replies with a slight laugh, but continuing to glare at him. “I’m
very drawn by your presence. I want to observe you at all times…..until I
convince myself.” “Convince yourself of what?” “That you
are Maricruz.” She replies quickly and firmly: “My name is
Maria Alejandra.” “Oh, so you ARE Maria Alejandra?” “Yes
sir!! When have I denied it?” He tells her he saw her at Toluca
airport and called her by her name, but she did not respond. She says
maybe she didn’t hear him, but he doesn’t believe that. Well, she says,
its also not enjoyable having a total stranger screaming to get your
attention. “Because that is what you are to me, a total stranger.” She
reminds him he knows her name, but she doesn’t know his. “My name is
Octavio….Octavio Narvaez.” A slight hint of the tell-tale dimples
appears on MariAle’s face, but she remains cool as a cucumber as she continues
to stare him down. “That name doesn’t tell you anything?”
She takes a deep breath, smiles broadly, and responds: “Nothing.”

This 3d issue of El Clamor Publico© features another Patio Chatter, Re-Quotable Quotes, re-running
NovelaMaven’s Feb. 27, 2013, Advice Column for Characters Experiencing Non-Cognitive
Dissonance in their Roles and The
Collected Wisdom of Diana appears in this issue. Ed. Note: Most portions of the content have appeared in other
publications.
WEEKEND EDITION HEADLINES
Anibal Balvanera, scion of the Balvanera Fortune 1500 empire and
controlling partner, is nominated to the Below Par Daddies List for 2013. When
asked if he is pleased, he exclaimed of course, he always shoots Under Par.
Nicole Brizz, young socialite matron spends the day shopping for a

Liszt on rainy soggy days.

Ex-model Kendra Ferretti was recently observed at a spa,
getting herself back into shape three days after a C-Section. Assures paparazzi
that her new daughter is being well taken care of.
Re-Quotable Quotes
Would it be tacky to
hope she [Cris] gets run over by a bus? Soon? [Doris—her prediction came
true-except for the bus part-and she is abjectly remorseful for planting the
idea in the writers’ minds and promises to stay out of the prediction business.
That’s Opalina’s department.]
Can Spirits join us on
the Patio? I'm sure she'll have a great time skewering Kendra from the great
beyond when she finds out what she was up to. [Anita]
…we did bring back the
departed to the Patio one day when we were in the Pits and all the beloved
characters were dropping like flies. It was an oddly comforting exercise, as I
recall. [NovelaMaven answers]
So glad The Patio
doesn't discriminate against the spirit world. It'll be nice to see Cris there.
If Leo goes, though, how do we keep him out? [Anita responds]

We start this epi with Salsa Dude in the FF's office thinking that that Zorra (Ho) Kendho, has gotten everything she wants and that she probably killed Nabila and Cris. What to do, what to do?????
Frankie's Job Hunt Continues:
Poor Frankie is hitting the streets looking for a job. He fills out multiple applications at different agencies and of course noone hires him, pobrecito!
Nikki Looks For a Job, Who Knew?
Nikki is in one of those exclusive boutiques, when a sales lady asks if she needs some help? Nah, really does she need help? Well, she is looking for work! The lady tells her to go to personnel and good luck. Nikki is just well, Nikki. She looks at a dress hanging in that boutique and I bet she is thinking, I used to come in here and buy all kinds of things at the drop of a hat, but now, meh not so much.

Porque el Amor Manda #75: Lip Locks, Thumb Locks, Locked Up and Locked In
Vero and Elias are at it again (fighting, that is.) It's a long story but I can make it short for you: Vero provokes Eli to the point that he actually draws back his fist to strike. He is appropriately horrified: "Forgive me! Forgive me! It's just that you're SO OBNOXIOUS!" Well, yeah. It seems to be doing wonders for her hair, though. I'm tempted to try it myself.
Alma comes into the office and doesn't even notice that Paty's giving Chucho a panty-shot on his desk. She's so excited! Cantu says Rogelio's getting out! (Or maybe she's just over the moon about her Mexican Emma Peel outfit with all the yellow and zippers and yellow and stuff.) Jesus confides to Xochi that he wants Alma to be happy, but he can't stand thinking about Rogue getting down with his bad self if he's actually allowed out for a honeymoon. Now I'm confused. Is Alma actually...I mean...all of those Thursday nights...is that a COLD Jacuzzi at Rogue's house?Read more »

Corazón Indomable Friday June 21 Red or Black?
Well, the evening got off to an unpropitious start. I settled into my favorite chair with a well-made margarita to watch tonight's episode and ZAP... all the lights went out, the TV picture fizzled and was gone. This happened precisely at 6:00 PM CST just as the Televisa logo popped up.
The good news... we have a generator backing up our electricity and within 10 seconds we had power.
The bad news ... we have DirecTV... so the TV screen shows this:
and it did.
The good news... with DirecTV and the Spanish Package, I get a second chance at 9:00 PM CST with the West Coast showing ... keep your fingers crossed...
ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ticktock ... you get the point...
The rest of the recap is done so let's get back to the first 10 min or so and see how this all started...
Maricruz enters the air terminal and the security guy checks her bag... bag? Just one bag? Just how much civilization and being a woman training has she had? If her trip is overnight shouldn't she have at least 3 suitcases, a hang up bag, a carryon, and purse?

Qué Bonito Amor #50 (Mex 74.2-75) Friday 6/21/13 Oh What a Night, What a Night! Oh, What a Man, What a Man!
capítulo 74
Santos has surprised El Gusano de Giuliano in his hotel room and starts
to beat the pulp outta OJ. “—You’re
gonna regret ever bein’ born when I get through with you! You destroyed my life and my family’s life!” Giuli has counter-threatened the lives of JA’s
family and bragged to JAntos that he doesn’t have the balls to do to him what
the Fake-Baked One did to Cuzzin’ Bronzo.
Viewerville is really getting into this ho-down when, regrettably, Com. Malo and Camelo, aka Marsh, come down the hallway toquestion harass OJ a bit more to determine definitively whether
he and Ruben are in cahoots together.
They hear the commotion in the room and take the oddly cartoonish moment
to philosophically categorize and classify the beat-down as a fight to the
death. JA gets a few more jabs in just for payback--ya gotta love those kidney
punches Santos lets loose with--when Marsh and Malo burst in. Viewerville holds its breath to see if JAntos
will finally be discovered and taken in to custody. JAntos, though, realizing it might be Security,
pushes his way out of the room and down the hallway, knocking over baggage and bellboys
until finally managing to evade capture down the stairwell or some such.

Weekend Discussion: What else do you watch? What do you get from it beyond entertainment?
Once upon a time we were speculating on some possible parallels between the British hit Downton Abbey and a past series. Since I am also a fan of the classic Masterpiece Theatre series and just ordered one as a gift for a friend, this seemed an appropriate topic.
Recently I opened a birthday gift received a few months ago from a that same friend and found parallels between our Que Bonito Amor and a British miniseries ironically slated for remake in the next two years: Poldark.
Ross Poldark and Santos have a lot in common in that they both come from childhoods of privilege and they find themselves suddenly with nothing and out of their element:
- Ross went into the American Revolution after killing someone in a duel; Santos fled to Mexico to avoid a false criminal charge; both end up dead broke.
- Ross is jilted by his fiancee and ends up with a miner's daughter; Santos is instantly charmed by a lady mariachi singer (2nd generation that we know of)
- Both have wealthy and dangerous rivals over something important: Ross has George Warleggan who wants to strip him of his estate and mining property, Santos has Ruben who will stop at nothing -- even murder -- to take Maria away from him and Giuliano who will destroy his and his family's reputation to protect his own arse
- Both men do menial work when there is no other option immediately available without complaint or even internal resentment
- Both men learn what is really important in life.
Whoever thought that there would be this much in common between a Mexican novela full of culturally-specific music and colorful festivals and a British miniseries filled with issues of class struggle, proper speech, and powdered wigs?
What else grabs your undivided attention?

Isa gets a little revenge for Paloma's expulsion by tying that creep Vanessa's shoelaces together while Vanessa is occupied mocking Paloma. Roddy helps out by smooching Paloma in front of Vanessa.
Maria shows up at Ruben's office trying to convince him to accept payment on the loan. OG gets a look at her and shows just enough interest in her that Ruben calls off the business deal.
JA and Justo say their goodbyes and JA finally agrees to forgive his father.
Amalia isn't happy to hear about Paloma getting expelled and uses it as an excuse to angrily shoo Paloma and Rodrigo out of the house. Once they're gone, she admits to Isa that she got rid of them so she could keep working on Paloma's surprise quinceañera.
Paloma and Rodrigo hang out in a park riding bikes and just generally enjoying their teenage luuuuurve.
Justo gives Fernando a check, which kind of pisses JA off until he realizes he can use the money to pay off Ruben. Once that's taken care of, he wants to use the rest to help fund Paloma's quinceañera.

[Unfortunately, whatever opening scene was repeated
from yesterday got lost in the shuffle. My son had turned off the captions and
I was busy getting them back on. Some scenes are combined.]
Isla Dorada Casino
Although the casino in Isla Dorada may seem incidental to MariCruz’ story, it does form a large share of Don Alejandro’s wealth. And we know it takes lots of money for a major makeover, so let’s all pull for the success of the casino, shall we? And that’s where we begin, with Areceli standing in front of Carola’s desk. The blonde boss says she’s satisfied with Areceli’s performance, but this will be her last night. So sad, government authorities say she’s too young—20, but needs to be 21. Areceli is crushed, she liked her job, liked making her own money. She weeps and is afraid Teo might kick her out. Carola says don’t cry; she’s very sorry and would fix it if she could.

PEAM # 74-6/20/13- Days After The Wedding That Was Shortened By An Arrest
Happy, Eve of
the Summer solstice.
We start off by getting bits: of Jesus telling Vero that he
loves Alma and couldn’t tell her because she looked so happy in her wedding
regalia and Alma crying to Chatita
about how she didn’t tell Jesus that she loved him. She didn’t’ want to break up his united family, of Vero, Jesus and Val. Everything in its place!!! (If I didn’t have to recap, I may have
skipped this episode) Chatita
tells Alma that she knows the story but Alma doesn’t look happy for a woman in
love. She tells Chatita that Rogue was arrested at the wedding.
Rogue is talking to Cantu his corrupt lawyer, who brings him
medication for his zipper problem. And he has an idea as to how to use Fern to
help his case. He is still working
on the idea. Ferny is still thinking about Rogue’s words, how it is all his
fault. The doorbell rings and
Jessica and Alex (2 hoe hoe hoes) are at the door.
In the warehouse Ricardo sets up a dinner with an ipod for
the high fluting Marisela because he is homeless.( Side note- my priority may
have been to get a room to sleep in, as opposed to serving dinner- just saying)
Hmmm- the table is on a
forklift.
Ricardo is slowly winning over the rich wannabe. He recites a line from Ortega,
Gasset and Tagor and of course
Marisela has never heard of them.
(She needs to read more if she wants to hang with the rich and famous,
she is as dumb as a doorknob). He
is looking at her qualities, her beauty and her lips and then plants a smooth
one on her.
Elias is thinking about Val’s letter to Jesus and how Vero
and Jesus were kissing.. He calls
Marisela.
Elias interrupts Marsela’s kiss. He asks – if she is with Chatita. Of course not.
He needs to see her and she flat leaves Ricardo to run to Elias. Ricardo doesn’t have a freezer to
freeze the food for another day.
Poor fool.
Ferny is not interested in seeing either of the 2 loose
ladies. His brother is in jail and
he is not in the mood. Alex lied
that she is going out with Ferny, and he couldn’t remember her name. So Alex spills the beans – that Rogue
paid her to relieve him from his Discua depression, while a stunned Jessica
stands there. Ferny was happy that
his brother thought of him. Alex’s
message- tell your bro to pay me or I will sue him!!!
Rogue relives his last moments of freedom, literally, oh
sorry digressing, when he and Alma were announced as man and wife, Paty, the backstabber is speaking to
Domi, Rogue’s maid, while the dog is growling at her. (He has more sense than the humans) Paty wants him to rot in jail for
getting married to Alma, and then proceeds to break his picture. She yells that she loves him, (I am ready to fast forward,
oops I can’t)
Alma is still talking about how Rogue needs her more than
ever she has to help her husband and complete her promise. Chatita asks her if
she is going to divorce him??
Thank you, Chatita- who knew that she would be the forgetful voice of
reason. She tells Alma- bad
beginnings will have bad endings. Alma
starts talking and shares about her loveless childhood. (Where is the good doctor when you need
her?? Oh right, she is crazy and plotting to marry Elias) Chatita gives her the motherly hug and
attention that she has so lacked for years.
Vero doesn’t hear Jesus and wants him to give her another
chance for love. She will fight to
earn his love even though he has confessed that he loves someone else. (Calling
Dr. Phil and Steve Harvey
Jesus puts in another bid for Vero to give Elias another
chance. Vero is not hearing
it. She begs for another chance
for Jesus and Jesus is listening, oh no!!
He doesn’t want to play with her feelings, give her false illusions or
hurt her. She finally gets it or
does she???
Jessica enters Ferny’s apartment for any gossip or sex that
she can acquire. Fern has had it
with Rogue.
Elias shows up at Chatita’s and Chatita lets him know that
Marisela can’t be up too late and no funny business because she is listening.
Jessica presses Ferny for gossip and I hope that she will
slip and tell him the truth. He
tries to minimize what is going on to throw her off of the trail.
Elias wants to
talk and tells Marisela that Marta
is not the problem. Marisela slips in that Marta is the problem for her, but Elias
doesn’t pay her any mind. His
problem is that Vero wants to marry Jesus.
Jessica knows that Paty is having an affair with Rogue , she
remembers the video but keeps digging to find out why Rogue is in jail. He
sticks to the – I made up a story that implicated my brother and sends her on
her way.
Marisela lets Elias know how she feels for him but Elias is
stuck on Vero and his marriage.
Marisela tries to convince Elias that he will kill himself trying to
fight for his marriage.
Tonight’s bedtime story won’t be about the Queen and the
Helper because the Queen got married. .Valentina asks Jesus to come close (what
an old soul)- she wants to know what
does he feel in his heart? He can
trust her?? She lets him know that she overheard his conversation with her
mother and he reminds her to stay
in a child’s place. Val reminds
him that the adult stuff she can feel in her heart and it affects her. He loves
her more than anything and he will protect her like a Superhero. She tells him that she prays nightly
that she is thankful that he returned to her life and she is glad to know him. She loves him. She is another reason why I don’t fast forward.
Alma is playing the role of the good wife and is waiting
helplessly while her husband is in jail.
Jesus brings her coffee and tries to get her to rest and she cries on
his shoulder. That it was all a disaster.
Chatita gives Val – arroz con leche-rice pudding- yummy- and
tells her to eat it so that she will grow up to be a beautiful girl.
Alma is getting on my nerves, because she should be crying
that she married Rogue, sorry I digress.
Jesus is pained to see her like this and she is happy to have her best
friend Jesus at her side.
Val calls Jesus on his cell to find out when is he coming home. Val tells Alma that she and Chatita
love her. Alma takes Jesus’ advice
and goes home to rest.
The next day- Jesus tells Val that she has to study so that
she can be a Licenciada like Alma.
Mommy Dearest calls Xochy for breakfast. Xochy still wants answers about her
dad. Xochy tells her momma to make breakfast with her own hands. Mommy holds the crumpled up magazine
photo of the handsome galan and says- if you only knew the truth. Is that model, her dad, is her dad
handsome? Que the heck???
Ricardo reads the headlines about Rogue being arrested.
(Hmm- where is his friend that’s in the press??)
The agent has a theory about the money in the warehouse, are
Uri and Rogue connected? She is
going to interview Rogue.
Cantu visits Ferny and notes how much whisky he has
consumed. Is he trying to drown
his sorrows?
Everyone at Avon is a buzz about the arrest. Susana speaks up for Rogue, saying that
the arrest was a misunderstanding and it will all be cleared up. All of the idiots are standing around
speculating and NOT working as usual. Jessica who is always scheming wants to
know who is in charge- Cardenas says it would be Ferny and in unison everyone
says- desencanto!!! Thank goodness, Alma shows up to work. Now maybe something can get
accomplished.
Alma tells them that in the first place what happened to
Rogue doesn’t not affect Avon.
Everyone needs to be disciplined and not to gossip about her
husband. Alma says that her
husband has been arrested and everything will work out to his favor. She thanks them for their concern, but
then tells everyone to get back to work.
She then thought bubbles back to the wedding and when Rogue is arrested.

Corazon Indomable #28 Wed. June 19th. The Big Reveals
Solita faints, she’s brought up to her room and promptly falls asleep. I wish I could sleep like she does. I even wear earplugs so I can’t hear anything, but I still lay awake. Just another benefit for the youth. Sigh. MC thought bubbles about what could be wrong with Solita. It’s amazing how straight her hair gets with how educated she becomes. I must still be quite ignorant because my hair is still wavy. Sigh.
