Demasiado Tiempo

Buenas Chicos - Otra vez, lo siento por la falta de tiempo, he estado muy ocupado pero no he hecho mucho. Sorry guys been passing the time with activities other than focusing my thoughts on what I've been doing as unique, which means I'm settled in, which is why I came here, which is a good thing,,,right? Anyway, in the dos semanas since we've vistoed eachother I've achieved two great things and a few minor, and failed on other fronts as well. Most importantly I have know found a spanish teacher I find both affordable and well, affordable. She is a Colombian girl who has lived here a few years, she actually worked as a copywriter in a small Advertising firm when she first got here (that's the title I call myself when trying to sound impressive to others in the industry. "Doctor." "Yes, Doctor" That kind of thing.) But I had one class, learned a whole mess of things I already knew or was slightly messing up. Plurals and male-feminine corrections are key, in my case I think I'm beyond that high school level stuff cause I so totally "don't have to think about it anymore" but in the complete truth of reality I most certainly need to both think about and practice these things. Did you know 1 o'clock is the only hour you say as singular, the rest are a las 8 o a las dos. It makes complete sense and I'm sure Ms. Irasauri taught that to me in 7th grade but I completely forgot it, those little things are what really make you look like a dummy stupid face when you screw them up with native speakers.

Anyway, Spanish class was really good, I'm actually about to go do homework, that I'm paying for, that I want to do, that is optional. Dang, been a while since I've thought of things like that.

Secondly I moved again to a nice apartment in Recoleta a few blocks from the train and my spanish class, I'm planning on going to Chile the first week of July so I'm going into anti-party hibernation mode to save up on that cashish. Assuming I can cut myself out from communication and find a few good books I'm confident a few weeks taking it easy would be good for body and soul, and wallet, and those who may be in, on, or around the dancefloor come Saturday nights around 3 am, thats when I really bring it usually. But enough on that; the best/maybe worst part about my new place is Larry David, the 18 month old cat that accompanies me everywhere here. She, yes her name is Larry, is a straight up matrix ninja which is sweet but I've never lived with a cat and they have unreadable tiger-like eyes, not being able to stare into an animals eyes and see whats up is like ordering a superpancho late at night from the street, you honestly don't know how things are going to turn out except for the fact there's going to be animal hair involved.

I wish, wish, wish, my camera wasn't broken cause you guys need to see the straight fire hazard haven, public packed pandemonium, argentine arena of arrested anarchy that was the bicentenario. It was really cool with many, many concerts and cultural demonstrations and military marches all culminating on that tuesday the 25th, Dia Independencia, with a pretty sweet parade. The whole gang was there Cristina Kirchner, hubby/puppet master Nestor, Lulu Presidente de Brasil, big daddy Hugo C, and the Bolivian president who's hair unfortunately got stuck on a tree branch from 1981 and never made it to the 21st century. It was a crazy packed event that was more a crazy and crowded then awesome event in all honesty, but I did see the Buenos Aires orchestra play a free concert on one of the widest boulevards in the world so I'm content.

Finally here are some long overdue pics from a Racing Futobol Club match I got to see, we had super dope seats with the owners of the only restaurant in the stadium. Had we been underneath the flag where the Hooligans sit I'm sure I'd either be really good friends with some of them or really good friends with some of the cops who are too afraid to even enter into their section.

More to come; I have a lot to say plus I'd like to start letting you know about some of the unique things BA has to offer. For example: they have not 1 but 2 TGI Fridays, and let me tell you this, after the argie-norm for a month, which really is pretty damn good, there is nothing like some patato skins, free refills and 30 peso burgers to get that overstuffed, over priced American smile back on your face. (I'm still licking Jack Daniel's sauce off my fingers from the meal I had 30 minuets ago) But seriously, I'm going to stop making this so much about me and more about the Citee, know what I mean. Cool, keep it real. I'll be back on American soil in just over 4 weeks. Can't wait to go to TGI Fridays.
