February 29
February 29, also known as the leap day of the Gregorian calendar, is a date that occurs in most years that are divisible by 4, such as 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024. Years that are divisible by 100, but not by 400, do not contain a leap day. Thus, 1700, 1800, and 1900 did not contain a leap day, 2100, 2200, and 2300 will not contain a leap day, while 1600 and 2000 did, and 2400 will. Years containing a leap day are called leap years. February 29 is the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar in such a year, with 306 days remaining until the end of the year. In the Chinese calendar, this day will only occur in years of the monkey, dragon, and rat.
Leap years
Although most modern calendar years have 365 days, a complete revolution around the Sun (one solar year) takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours. An extra 24 hours thus accumulates every four years, requiring that an extra calendar day be added to align the calendar with the sun's apparent position. Without the added day, the seasons would move back in the calendar, leading to confusion about when to undertake activities dependent on weather, ecology, or hours of daylight.
Leap Day (Modern Family)
"Leap Day" is the 17th episode of the third season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 65th episode overall. It aired on February 29, 2012. The episode was written by Danny Zuker and directed by Gail Mancuso.
Plot
It is February 29, a.k.a. Leap Day, and it is also Cameron's (Eric Stonestreet) birthday. He is turning 40, but as his birth date, being Leap Day, only occurs once every four years, he likes to think he is turning 10. Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) is extremely pressured to arrange the perfect party for him and has planned a Wizard of Oz-themed party and sets everything up while Cameron is away. However, when Cameron comes back home, he tells Mitchell that he will be busy for most of the day talking to his family in the aftermath of a tornado that hit his hometown. Realizing the Wizard of Oz is famous for a tornado, Mitchell abruptly cancels the Wizard of Oz-themed party and is forced to come up with a different party idea within a couple of hours.
Leap Day (30 Rock)
"Leap Day" is the eighth episode of the sixth season of the American television comedy series 30 Rock, and the 112th overall episode of the series. It was directed by Steve Buscemi, and written by Luke Del Tredici. The episode originally aired on NBC in the United States on February 23, 2012, and received positive reviews for its inventive script and the engaging performance by its guest stars. The episode revolves around star Liz Lemon (portrayed by Tina Fey) facing a crisis when presented with an extravagant sum of money to have sex with an old acquaintance while her boss Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) learns the true meaning of Leap Day and the possibilities it presents to mend broken relationships.
Plot
The cast and writers celebrate Leap Day, which is a widely celebrated holiday complete with a Santa Claus-like mascot—a gilled creature named Leap Day William, who lives in the Mariana Trench and trades candy for children's tears. Jack introduces Kabletown's latest development in 3-D Internet access, but the ceremony becomes controversial when three people dressed as the letter K dance and then whip a black man. In a dream sequence induced by Jack eating poisonous rhubarb leaves, Kenneth (Jack McBrayer), as the spirit of Leap Day, takes Jack on a journey to see leap days past, present and future. Twenty years from the present, Jack sees his daughter, Liddy (Devin Dunne Cannon), working for Habitat for Humanity and realizes that he needs to spend more time with her.

la papita
by: Bersuit VergarabatRecuerdo aquellos años
cuando estaba tu colita,
envuelta en pantalón blanco, era un plato de comida
discutíamos en el auto problemas de filosofía
cuando llegaba a mi casa qué me hacía ?
UNA PAPITA.
Pasaron muchos años y no te decidías,
entre tantas discusiones te desnudaste un día,
y en los lagos de Palermo me entregaste tu comida
cuando pienso en ese día : qué me hago ?
UNA PAPITA.
Se fueron unos meses y no sentías,
tenias en el cuerpo a la iglesia y a tu familia.
De repente una explosión y vieran como gemías,
cuando escucho aquella música, qué me hago ?
UNA PAPITA.
El amor es muy loco, si luchas se domestica,
siempre hago caso raras para no dejar un día,
sin sentir aquellas cosas que hacen linda a la vida,
por eso hoy pienso en vos y me hago
UNA PAPITA.
