this is where i'll be..

miss you lela.. ya te quiero ver y estar alla con vos..

potty trained

it's no fun to spend a week--almost literally speaking--in the bathroom... but that has been my week... no fun at all mister... i was too tired to work, and when i could do some work, i had to do a lot... but i managed to give my last proofreading to the article i want to send to the Journal of Modern Languages (UCR) so i can speed up things and if they like it, it can come up in the third or fourth issue (that would be a year from now).

but good things happened... for example, oscar is among the five finalists in a blog contest (www.bloggos.org), so yeah, i'm happy for him.

and i've been very excited "planning" a future trip to europe next summer... but i need more logistics on that so i better not get ahead of myself.

i wrote a paper... a really crappy one but that was all i could in my current state of being... actually, i have to finish it today...

oh well, i guess i'm too drained to produce so smart remarks today so i better stop. i hope y'all have better luck than me.

bilingüe / bilingual

cuando sueño / when i dream
lo hago en recuerdos / i do it in memories
no me dejaste dormir / you didn't let me sleep
aunque no estabas aqui / eventhough you were not here
sos un ñoño / you are a...
que mierda!!! / shit!!!
no puedo ser tan bilingüe como quisiera / i can't be as bilingual as i would like to

para vos ñoño

Stay by Shakespeare Sister

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand

stay with me..

wishful thinking

i should post more often... i should show you the pictures of my friends, talk about the books i'm reading, comment on the things i want to do...

about the pictures, i kind of suck at technology so you'll have to be contented that my all friends are great.

to talk about the books i'm reading... i'll take forever sometimes... or just a few lines on other occasions...

on the things i want to do... well, hmmmm... i could do that right now... i guess that i would like to have more spare time... or as i've said before, a job which is not 9-5 so i can have my own schedule... i would like to knit, and go back to sewing... oh, i miss it so much... eventhough i was no artist at that, i miss the planning and the effort and being able to see a final product... something that i created...

...i would like to have a job that pays me well... not a sportsbook... i dunno... i always picture myself as my own boss... and that's what we want to do, i guess... oscar and me... the store... it's our dream...

i don't want a fancy lifestyle... i just want my life... i don't covet cars or big houses or expensive stuff... i just want to have what's my own... ok, yeah, i admit it... i would like to have some nice things (clothes and shoes, how predictable) but i know that's a luxury...

...maybe all i want is a little bit of independence...

shit, i'm so spoiled...

bits and pieces

in order to keep this blog to date.. here are some random thoughts:

please, please, please i want to publish in the Revista de Lenguas Modernas (modern languages journal for those who don't know spanish)... i was thinking on submitting the final paper for the italian renaissance class i took in WAC... i think i got an A- so, c'mon, pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis

a ver como suena: giangiulio&barquerosuarez personal shoppers... hehe

i don't think i ever explained myself, or why this blog is in English, but well, it's because all my friends can understand it... i know it may sound conceited, but i do have many friends from other countries...

today in 3 hours i wrote 4 pages (just 3 to go!!) of my paper for the british survey class... whether they are good or not, it's really not my problem anymore...

i've been trying to include more pictures--or comic strips en su defecto--in the blog but i totally suck at technology and software applications...

look for this band (or download it if you can): "Riot Radio" by The Dead 60's... amazing...

best wishes and chocolate dreams for y'all
