Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #158: 6/20/14: Graceless Does A Semi Amazing Thingy, Que????????
Ahoy Amiguis! The fog on the Patio of Disillusionment has thickened so much, we have added candles to the tables. Where have all these characters' brains gone? Sometimes I think the writers "borrowed" some of the script of "Lost" and ran with it. You can't tell from one day to the next who is jumping to the Others and who is staying with everyone else. I need some levity, which I am sure Y'all could use, so this little earworm will surprise you. It is a actor on this TN and he does a great job. Please take a listen. Lo Que Siento Por Ti
JL (Jose Luis) and Monica meet up, JL informs her that Ale (Alejandro) is in Aguazul, and he has an idea where he is. Monica will call the Navy for an assist.
Fina (Josefina) and Dimi (Dimitrio) and the sad replay of the aftermath of the escatasy they enjoyed not many hours before. They are both sad, their faces don't lie, but they chalk it up to being a mistake. Fina heads to the bathroom and cries her like her heart is breaking.

Que Pobres tan Ricos, #119, 20 June 2014. MA is transferred, AS is depressed, Perla is cover girl, and Lupe gets the last laugh/punch.
MA begs Top Cop to let Lupe and all family visit him. Top Cop says ok and leaves.
Lupe is ignoring Mini. Mini yells at the police receptionist that she is Minerva Fontanet, niece of so and so and demands to see Lic MARP. Lupe says she is Lupe Menchaca and wants to see him too. Receptionist is overwhelmed and just promises he will do what he can.
At Fonda, they all arrive. Very hungry Tizoc gets some killer stares. Frida asks how the trip went. AS whines and whines… she never thought she would say this but ‘finally we got home!’ But AS does not want to hear anything about MA. Not even Leo understands her attitude. Chuy gives her the benefit of the doubt and tells them she is more affected than it seems. Not everyone can express their feelings directly.
Gwendy with Nepo… he is deflated, she is trying to cheer him up. She offers him a ‘cure all’ shot… She brings a glass… he says he will need about chorros – hundreds of these to get over it. Gwendy is there for him. He says what he would like most is to cry… they are both already crying. Gwendy will accompany him in crying. He takes a shot glass in one swallow, then breaks down and cries. She says ‘go ahead get it out’.
The nurse is trying to read the paper. ‘check the Fonda, ‘al fondo’ (in the end… end of the hallway, end of the drawer… who knows). Nurse gives up in trying to figure it out.
Mini keeps nagging at Lupe, can’t believe MA fell so low. You even smell of frying fat. You are nothing but a ‘wild rose’. Lupe rebutes you are married to his cousin. Mini claims that marriage means nothing. She asks Lupe to admit that a man like ‘mi vi’ would never take a serious relationship with a ‘fritanguera’.
Nepo is napping on the couch with the bottle by his arm. Wakes up. Achis! Gwendy brings him some food (sandwiches). He needs Lupe to…. (Gwendy finishes his line… to love you!.) Gwendy asks him to get over it, if a woman doesn’t love you you have nothing to look for. Diego comes in at that time and Nepo is ready to beat him to a pulp, but Gwendy stops him. Nepo does not want to see DA anymore! DA is scared/shocked. DA tries to talk to him, but is decided to try the relationship with Leo, we are already ‘pareja’ ( a serious couple). Nepo believes it is a joke. Gwendy has to jump between them. She tries to get Nepo to listen, but to no avail. Diego again tries to talk to him, but all he gets is Nepo kicking him out. Gwendy offers her house to DA. Nepo won’t even let DA pack anything. And he kicks the two of them out. DA leaves, Gwendy leaves Nepo with one more food for thought ‘go on like this and you will end up more alone than the statue of independence.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #99, 6/20/2014
Part One
I did some combining of scenes.
El Refrito
- Mr. Policeman is told to keep out the OTHER guy that looks like the picture out.
- Brat cries to Alberto.
- Natalia tells Diego that she doesn't want Diego or Rod near her until she can tell the difference. She's so confused could hate or love Diego or Rodrigo equally.
Diego (like this recapper) doesn't understand how Natalia can consider him and Rod one and the same. Natalia feels like a trophy in the twins' game, but Diego swears he's never seen her as a trophy. The love each other! How can she be doing this? The only thing she knows is she's confused (and maybe a little dumb?)
Gino supervises Paolo's computer usage. Paolo realizes he's going to distract Gino if he's to discover anything. Paolo calls Mara and she comes running to tell Gino some machine or something is making an odd noise. Gino tells Paolo to take it, but Paolo makes some excuse about being in the middle of his computer business. Gino finally leaves and Paolo finds the deleted emails from the secret admirer, Cunchetina (C-tina.) One email asks Gino to meet at a hotel restaurant at 8. Paolo is distressed that his mom is being lied to.
Diego chooses a sporting metaphor (If you do this Rod "wins) and Nat is not happy about it. She doesn't want to be the plaything between Rod and Diego anymore and just wants them to leave her alone. Diego doesn't want her upset, so he agrees. He'll leave, but he's sad that Rod came between them. He leaves the fonda like a defeated dog and Rod, observing from the corner, thinks to himself that Nat must have kicked his bro to the curve. He muses that they are both tied in the Natalia Cup.
In Tuxpan, the slimy PI (Alejandro Rotundo) checks birth records.
Carmen and Natalia discuss the latest happenings. Natalia doesn't doubt she loves Diego; the problem is she can't tell the two of them apart. Rod could walk in right now and be sweet and kind and Nat would thinks it's Diego. It's driving Nat crazy. Carmen suggests that Nat talk to a professional.
Diego calls Alonso at his office. Alonso tells him to come on over. Irene calls soon after Alonso hangs up with Diego. He lets her know that Diego is upset after talking to Natalia and suggests that Irene come by his office as well. Irene heads over.

Weekend Discussion: Children and Secrets
In view of the recent trend in novelas to have children in the position of keeping secrets, I thought this an apt discussion point.
Lauro and Victoria had the secret of Alejandro being alive and he and Victor being in Aguazul (which has now been blown to pieces). Victoria still needs to keep the secret of the cell phone in Nadia's possession and we know that one won't last long. It won't necessarily be her fault, either, as the close of last night's episode wasn't about the kids.
I personally don't believe that children should be burdened with secrets of any kind. Children the ages of Victoria and Lauro aren't quite old enough to have a real grasp of the purpose of these secrets. During that scene at school recess I started wondering who would overhear them.
There is also the issue of keeping secrets from kids. If Lauro doesn't end up in a dangerous situation before this tale is over, what do you think Monserrat should do about what he doesn't yet know (Not that Alejandro should be left out of this decision but she knows him better due to the circumstances)? What sort -- if any -- of family secrets should be shared with kids? When? How?
The floor is open

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #118: 6/19/14: The King of the Porca Miseria!
Hola, Amiguis! I will try to make this recap short and sweet, all I gotta say is poor, poor Dona Mati! May Ahole rot in porca miseria, jus' sayin'.
We start with Vilma doing PI duty again and she's found Frida and Lupe. Does Ahole want her to follow them? Course he does, silly question, find Dona Mati, that is the goal.
Tizoc, Perla and Carm are leaving the karaoke place and Tizoc is still pithed over losing. Don Chuy comes and tells them what happened to MA. Carm hits Leo with her fan, and Vilma just happens by and sees them with Dona Mati.
Guendy is talking to Lupe on the phone. Lupe wants all the info she has especially about where MA is, the jail that is. Guendy spills that Nepo went to talk to Ahole. Sucks to be Nepo, the Banana King.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 157, Invalid Format, 19 June, 2014
Invalid Format
Dear Friends:
I regret to report that I am unable to tell you what happened tonight on 'Robo, because my television is showing no picture and claiming to have an "invalid format". I do not know what this error message means, and, neither (apparently) do the Comcast phone technicians because after 70 minutes on the phone they sadly informed me, that although I am a very valued customer! they do not know what is wrong with their #$%%%^^&&&#@! cable box.
The nice lady from Comcast offers, "Perhaps someone can come and replace it, tomorrow, say between 12-2PM?"
That will be just ducky, I respond, but what about the adoring public out there, waiting to find out if Jose Luis shoots anyone important on 'Lo Que La Vida Me Robo'?
You, adoring public, are out of luck.
So, your faithful recapper begs your pardon and asks that, as a group, you tell ME just what happened in tonight's episode. Please post your notes in the comments.
I'll look forward to hosting a lively discussion on tonight's happenings tomorrow on the blog.
Is Mercury Retrograde or is it just me?
Hasta mañana,
Your grumpy amiga, Elna June

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #98, 6/19/2014
De que cayó otra vez,
cayó otra vez
Read more »
I’m just doing a recap from memory without going back
to watch a 2nd time. The plot went all over the place today, so I hope I
capture it all. If not, let us know in the comments.
- We get a repeat of dumb bunny Natalia (who I do actually like),
assuming the healthy looking, smirking guy in front of her is Diego instead of
Rodrigo. She proceeds to smooch him through the jail bars, and detail her plans
to see Diego on the sly, and find a way to get back at Rod. “Diego” is all on
board with making “them” pay, and keeping their smooching sessions secret.
-Kimberly has decided that the best way to hold on to her
man is through parading around in nothing but his shirt, being sweet to him,
and giving him massages in bed. For the first time the audience is right on
board with Kim, since she manages to get El shirtless for a number of scenes.
He gets a call from Cunchetina, who relates her picture swap with Gino,
and El lies to Kim that it was a coworker telling him something about the
operation they were on last night. Kim doesn’t look convinced, and looks quite
dangerous with the pointy nail file she’s got in hand. El goes to the shower.
Sadly, we don’t get to go with him. Kim calls back the number that just called
El, gets hotel reception, and begins to doubt that El was out all night on a
police operation. She suspects he was instead with that “resbalosa” C-Tina. She calls
Morales, and he’s not quick enough to confirm that he and El were together on
an operation the night before. Kim looks like she might be considering other
options for that nail file.

Qué Pobres, Wednesday 6/18 (#117):
Hey everybody - I might not finish this this morning, because I have to go to the eye doctor and I've been finding it hard to follow the show without glasses (my last pair of contact lenses got too gross to wear yesterday and I threw them out).
But here's what I've got so far:
But here's what I've got so far:
Saul tells Mike he and the hip barrio lawyer have ascertained there is good proof of Alejo's dastardly money dealings on the USB from Minerva, and there are probably proofs that will acquit Mike. He tells Lupe and they're happy, but he says he'll probably have to go to the capital and give himself up in order that the law take its course - but would she go out with him next day? Romanticismo. She wants him to learn to whistle. He tries out his barrio slang on her.
Diego and Leo invite Ana Sofia to a nice dinner with them, and Diego pays with real folding green, but after he and Leo leave Ana stuffs the dough in her bra and orders another drink. That makes me cringe, as well as the way that she refuses to acknowledge Diego's presence, much less thank him. She just refers to him as "the frutero's son"
Tizoc comes in second in the singing competition, with a song about his light-skinned fresa with her "airs of grandiosity" and she is delighted (and later crawls into his tent with him). Loud smacking smooches can be heard.
Next morning, naturally Ana Sofia is hung over. Don Chuy says she should go swimming. The huge pile of Menchacas and Ruizpalacios say yes when Diego asks "can a refugee join you?" Also there is some random dude hoisting a dumbbell in the background. Looks a little goofy. Aww, Mike pulls Leo aside and tells him how proud he is of him for following his heart.
Then they all go to the hotel and the guy at the front won't let them in. AS tries to bully her way in with how wonderful and mediterranean and white she is, and the guy agrees to let in a few of them. Then Lupe speaks up about how that's racism and everyone leaves together.
As usual I can't understand banana king's flunky when he talks in idioms.
--continued--
Minerva drops a bomb on Alejo, coming to his office and telling him that Mike is Lupita's boyfriend. *gasp*! I don't know why, but I kind of thought he already knew. Anyway, muy impactado!
Guendy calls Lupita and warns her that the police are zeroing in on Mike! Lupita in turn runs to the Menchacas hunting for Mike. Meanwhile, he is setting up a surprise romantic meal for her by the beach. I am amused by the candlesticks he's fashioned out of upside-down plastic cups. He can't get the candles lit. It's quite nice, but as soon as they kiss the cops show up and take him away!!!
The Menchacas+ have found a place to serve them lunch by the beach. Tizoc's fresa girlfriend seems to at least have recognized that racism/colorism was at play, and then Leo pays the bill which makes everyone very happy!
Ana Sofia looks on with revulsion from a la-z-boy in the sand as Leo and the girl yuk it up and have fun with the Menchacas! This is the theme.
Everyone seems weirdly proud of Leo and Tizoc for riding an inflated tube of some sort. Oh wait, it's a competition, who can stay on top longer. Ana Sofia wagers money she doesn't have on who will win, but she gets the money anyway.

J-L asks if it's who he thinks. María tells him to go and see for himself but advises him to hurry up before he misses the chance. He takes a gun and heads out.
"It's your fault, Alejandro, for rejecting me," María says to herself.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #97- Wed 6/18
De que aceptó el trato, aceptó el trato
Diego wants to go in to see Natalia, but Alberto tells him to back off…as lawyer, Alberto's the one she needs right now. Plus, Nat's pissed at him, sooo….
Vicente accuses Irene of going "against" the family because of her anger. Irene says it's not about taking sides, it's about justice. Plus, he can't be changing his mind every five minutes about whether Irene is "a Cacares" or not. Vicente tells Irene that he made Natalia an offer.
Natalia doesn't want to take Vicente's offer, which she tells Alberto about. He can tell they planned this out. Now that Nat knows that Rodrigo is locked up, she's really not going to take it back.
Vicente spins his deal as good for everyone, but Irene is horrified. "You know I'm capable of anything for my family!" Yeah, dude, she knows. You did it to her, too. Irene bursts his bubble--Diego already knows how Rodrigo ended up in a coma. Vicente threatens to disinherit Diego, because he missed the memo that the only one of his kids or grandkids that threat will work on is Rodrigo.
Alberto says there's practically no way to prove that Rod attacked Natalia. He never carried out the rape and she never reported it. If she gets Andres to show up and testify, he'll be arrested, too. She can't get out on bail. And since Rodrigo turned himself in and is trying to claim he's crazy…that's not helping either. And Irma has disappeared. Alberto actually advises Natalia to take Vicente's deal.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 155. 06/17/14. Sandro checks out, JL checks into Crazyville.
Skipping the old and heading right into the new...
Esme congratulates Montse on her pregnancy. Esme threatens to be upset if Montse doesn't turn into a butterball. She asks if JL is happy about the news. Montse confides that things are not well between JL and her. Before finding out about the pregnancy, she was going to leave him. She found out that he lied to her. He knew before marrying her that Ale was in a coma and didn’t tell her. Esme asks if Ale is still in a coma.
BSC JL tells Dim that he owes him loyalty. He almost destroyed his life and is now indebted to him. JL takes his letter opener and pokes Dim in the shoulder and demands him to spill the frijoles if he knows anything about Ale and his whereabouts. Dim tells JL to get the letter opener off him. They are friends but he ain't got to do nothing. Dim turns to Refugio in disbelief and with his eyes says that he has definitely lost his marbles. JL goes on a rant and says that Montse vowed at the alter to be faithful (well, she broke that vow sugar foot). Do you know what that means? I won't tolerate lies. Dim keeps turning to Refugio in disbelief.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #96- Tue 6/17
De que está tras las rejas, está tras las rejas.
Carmen is upset that Natalia told Irene about Tuxpan. She assumes Irene will end up taking Rod's side and now she has more ammo.
El leaves Morales to wait for some important papers while he takes Cunchetina to lunch. Morales' mom calls because she locked herself out of the house…and now he has a dilemma.
Gino keeps thinking about the anonymous love email, checking out the chicks in the bowling alley, and wondering which one of them sent it.
Morales gets his buddy to wait for the papers while he goes to unlock the door for his mom. Kimberly shows up and he tells her El is at La Hortaliza.
Irene shows up at Alonso's apartment. She's not surprised that Grumps is on Rodrigo's side. She agrees that Diego needs to press charges and Alonso suggests they check with El.
El can't help being enchanted by Cunchetina. He thinks Gino's an idiot to care about a few extra pounds. She asks about his personal life and Kimberly gets to hear him saying he's on the verge of breaking up with someone. Alonso calls El to summon him to a meeting at his place.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: Ana Sofia goes tippling, Diego comes wooing, Tizoc takes a shower.
- AS is boozing with her pooch. How is she going to pay for all these exotic martinis? The barkeep says, pay up. "You don't trust a woman of such distinction?" She passes him an expired credit card ("I hope the bank is as slow as always") and by the time the waiter is shouting, she has staggered off.
She staggers into a luxury hotel. She orders a tamarind martini. The bouncer ejects her for refusing to give her room number. ("But you have a perverted face, I can't risk giving you my room number, you'd attack me in my room.")

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #95- Mon 6/16
De que todavía anda suelto, todavía anda suelto.
Lupita calls Cunchetina to tell her about the website for the bowling alley. She advises Cunchetina to send Gino anonymous love emails. Cunchetina is thrilled to have such a diabolical pint-sized ally.
Nat convinces Carmen to go to work and promises she won't go down to Caprico to quit until Carmen gets back.
Grumps spins his BS story for the lawyer, who doesn't think burying Nat is going to be easy. The lawyer asks why Rodrigo didn't just turn Natalia in and married her, when he knew all along she was the one who was responsible for putting him in a coma. Grumps says that's not his concern and money is no object. The lawyer promises Rod will get off completely.
Diego, looking like utter crap, shows up at Natalia's. He invokes instant soup and the conch shell and she knows it's him. I suggest they establish a password. Nat sits him down on the couch, where he struggles to keep his eyes open as he asks QTH happened to them. He remembers the accident in the taxi after Monterrey and after that it was all drugs and voices.
Cecilia, Noemi's substitute nurse, gets the embarrassing duty of explaining to Alonso that Diego pulled a runner. Alonso tries the house, but Lala says he's not there. Alonso is worried Diego will run into Rodrigo and the shizz will really hit the fan.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 6/16/14 (#115): Water, Water, Everywhere
How many people tuned in at the usual time last night, waited five minutes, and then tuned out thinking there wouldn't be an episode? We started more than 8 minutes late. I don't know why.
Acapulco. Night. Carmelita's snoring wakes up everyone in the bus. Lupe and Miguel Angel (MA) go outside to chat. It's a full moon, of course, even if there's only a half-moon anywhere else, because couples like Lupe and MA get a full moon every night! MA talks about el mar. (Can it, Aldo! This is at least the SECOND TN in which Jaime Camil has evoked the memory of his romantic rival from LFMB.) Lupe teases him for wearing sandals with socks.
MA tells Lupe that Mini did, in fact, try to seduce him, but he didn't let her. Lupe asks if Mini's attempts reminded him of happier times. MA says he didn't feel anything at all. Mini is the past, and Lupe is the present. She's the only woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, and he hope it's a long life.
Inland, Vilma regards some of the "evidence" Alejo has gathered at the Menchaca home (I think there's a toy from Emiliano) and says that none of this, not even the polo mallet, is enough to prove that MA and Mati have been there (to get the police to come here and find Mati and MA). They pretty much need to catch the Menchacas red-handed. For all they know, Emi could have taken or borrowed the polo mallet. Of course this only annoys Ahole...

154: Where Jealousy Rules
Valverde
House: Alejandro and Monserrat returned and all was not well.
Alejandro told his family they weren't going anywhere. Monserrat
told Rosario they were returning home, which meant they were
returning to the Álvarez house. Lauro asked his father when he
would see him again and he told him “soon.” Carlota offered to
accompany her niece home, but she declined the offer. She tried to
conceal her tears, but it wasn't possible. She thanked Josefina,
gave Alejandro a disappointed look, got a stubborn one back, and
departed with his mother and his son. They were barely out the door
when Alejandro went upstairs, his jaw set in stone. Victor and
Macario followed him, leaving Carlota, Dominga, and Josefina to
wonder what had happened.

Ahoy Amguis. It's been so dark and cloudy here on the Patio of Disillusionment hasn't it? Now a fog seems to be moving in, with respect to some of these character's brains, that is. Someone asked last week where all the levity had gone. This TN has been short of that hasn't it? I have thought of levity all week and have come up with the perfect solution. I have found an earworm that will be like Calgon and take all your troubles away. It's rather longish, but well worth it. Please take a gander and a listen. Lovely Song

Weekend Discussion: The Narcissism Epidemic
Narcissism is one of the most common mental disorders of telenovela villains. Many people have a very simplistic definition of it: Muhammad Ali. His "I am the greatest" is how many people see narcissism. The sad truth is that it's far more complex than that.
Narcissists see themselves as the center of the universe. Everyone else exists for their purposes and once they cease to satisfy them, they either become evil or non-existent. They are incapable of dealing with their own faults and assign them to others as a way of ridding themselves of them. In extreme form they can be diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
