Sounds of the day
I've got my own way
-The Adults
At least McCain was gracious. Where the hell was that guy during this election? He looks like a man who knows he has sold his soul.
When i finally got out of bed, my inbox was flooded with emails from former students congratulating me on the election. Most of them were very excited. It's a time of hope. A time for change. Most Spanish people like Americans. They know that the last 8 years have not been something that most of Americans they meet wanted.
It's kind of amazing. I am half a world away, yet still voting and watching this historic moment live. The party last night had the atmosphere of a football game with the stakes being much higher. CNN Predicted Obama the winner just past 5AM and we left.
That said, Atleti was ROBBED of a win last night night when Liverpool was awarded a penalty at Anfield on a bogus foul in the 94th minute. What????!!!!!!!! That arbitro (referee) is a monkey fucker!
I can't leave my laptop. I am hypnotized! So much news coming through electronic impulses. I started chatting with another woman named Yoly (short of Yolanda, i would think). Anyway, she only speaks Spanish. But I am holding my own. Writing is much easier for me. And Google Translator is amazing! I try to put it together and then check it, make revisions and send.
And then there's Eva, Warrior Princess. Hubba hubba! I'm down with that role playing stuff. What's better than mixing Dungeons and Dragons with sex?
I'm learning crucial phrases in Spanish like,
Me gusta el rock progresivo. (i like progressive rock)
Yo leo ciencia ficción (i read science fiction)
Me gusta sentarse y comer un pollo asado. (I enjoy sitting down and eating a whole roasted chicken)
I figure they might as well know what they are getting into. If they can't deal with it, it will never work anyway.
