I got it

'K. I found on Facebook a photo album belonging to a mexican-born spanish speaker. The context is irrelevant. I noticed that most of the content and comments were written in English so that a bunch of (apparently meaningful) followers could understand the pictures and captions. And it was weird since most of the album followers clearly speak Spanish as their first language.

Then I got it. I thought that writing my posts in English was a mere exercise of language practice. Now I see, there are better appointed times to speak, to read, to write and to express myself in a non-native language without looking like a snobbish freaking jerk.

De ahora en adelante, escribiré en Español. (A menos que advierta y justifique lo contrario :) )

P.D. Google translate sí funciona.

Farewell, dear friend

About movies, magazines and websites

Late night caught me reading articles on www.cracked.com. I’ve been following the website for a while. The writing style of some authors does really tear off oxygen-intensive laughters.

On the other hand, for those moments for reflexion and insight, I like to refer to www.relevantmagazine.com. There, I went as far as paying for the electronic subscription. Totally worth it.

The SpaceHD channel on my cable subscription is broadcasting ‘Carlito’s way’. It’s been a long time since I first watched it on VHS (or Beta, I’m not sure). Some scenes from the movie call upon my memory. Like those where the characters snort powder like a fish out of the bowl. Or the scene where Carlito finds out the actual kind of club Gail is dancing at.

Allright, some more code lines and I'll run the first tests on my C# 3-SAT solver.

Leaving the city on a holy wednesday. Traffic is as expected. The ADO bus took a slight detour in order to avoid the bottleneck at Zaragoza and Río Churubusco. A Suzuki dealer opened near the Hangares station. At this point the bus is following exactly the same path I used to drive some time ago. Kind of difficult to ignore the fond memories this event brings along. Some of them as precise as the location of street bumps and the timing of traffic lights. Anyway, a good excuse to launch Blogsy and listen for a little bachata.

El calendario de pared 2012 hoy se fue al bote de basura aunque faltan 5 días. 15 años después de la primera licencia de manejo provinciana, no tuve tiempo para renovarla. A partir de hoy, mi licencia va amparada por la secretaría de transportes citadina. Veamos a dónde conduce esto :D

Gato x liebre

Hoy fue una buena ocasión para regresar a las hamburguesas en Av Montevideo. Es uno de los dos lugares que conozco donde preparan hamburguesa de avestruz; el otro es en los puestos de comida de la feria del caballo. Sin embargo, me quedé con la incertidumbre acerca de lo que realmente me sirvieron, pues parecía carne de res común y corriente. Tal vez mi hambre fue mayor a los ánimos de entablar un argumento con el mesero, o tal vez sea el hecho que no como avestruz desde hace cuatro años aprox.

En fin, en cuanto termine mi tratamiento para las vías respiratorias, mejor visitaré el karaoke adjunto, que hoy viernes aparentaba buen ambiente.

The little Friday

Thursdays from every week are an open chance for trying something different at lunch time. The weekly ‘tiangüis’ one-block away from work offers meal alternatives such as: carnitas, cochinita pibil, quesadillas, tlacoyos, barbacoa, mixiotes, tacos and so on. However, one of my favorite stands, the seafood one did not showed up today for unknown reasons to me. It was a shame since that was my first option so, this time I decided to try a 3-quesadillas order with chicharrón, champignon mushrooms and huitlacoche.

On a different subject, I listened today to Limb Bizkit’s Gold Cobra album out of curiosity. The band is the same yet the music is an grown-up version from those old ‘Rearranged’ times. I went to bed pondering whether I should stick up to the example.
