CLICHE’ED

OK, so I went to Mexico and got a little drunk, but it is cool.

Veracruz is very nice. There are a number of pushy vendors but otherwise folks are legit and everybody is friendly. Tonight I had a couple margaritas and then I had to have another because, hehe, the table next to us bought them for us OMG. I went out with one of my classmates, who has been here awhile and already amassed a little fan club at the zocalo (main plaza). It is all so silly. Everybody is great. I went on my little walkabout con charlante about the city and it is very easy to navigate, I had my first class and it was all stuff I am already rad at, so all is well in the world of hard knock immersion. Oh woe, woe is me.:P

Basically things only suck when I sit still and consider that I miss my sweeties.

When I stick my head out over my balcony this is what I see.

The same gulf as yesterday, new view.

I always used to feel like a Gonzo, but I think I’ve matured into a Fozzy.

I have devised a simple three-step plan to capture Ian’s heart, should I happen to die and ladies wished to come a-courtin’:

First, laugh at his jokes. If you think he’s funny he will like you. CHECK.

Then, be real smart in a pragmatic yet intuitive fashion. This will impress him and he will respect you. CHECK!

Lastly, be totally bonkers. Ian goes gaga over crazies and this will be the clincher that will inspire his love. CHECK. . .mate!?

Did you know?

Today I saw a woman in hijab–and here I am meaning only her face and hands were showing–wearing RHINESTONE SUNGLASSES.

That is all.

Tehe!

I’m working on getting all the pictures up. So far I am 2/3 done!

A Silly Thing

The 7-11 down the street from our place is one of the eleven stores that have been converted into Kwik-E-Marts for the month of July (and the promotion of the Simpsons movie). We found out Monday night and understandably made a midnight run to see the hubbub, and because we’re extra bonus dorks I took a few pictures to chronicle The Event (even though they were sold out of all the uberdork-drool-inspiring merchandise like Krusty-Os and Buzz cola). Fun stuff!

There is no deeper meaning here.

FOOD

I’ve signed up with one of those Community Supported Agriculture thingamajigs where I get a box of organic produce every other week. The ultimate goal is to be good to my body, the planet and organic farmers, and a bunch of similar hippie-esque ideals. But! I also hope that having a regular supply of random stuff will force me to make stuff I wouldn’t ordinarily. I like food a lot, so I’m going to post pictures here since I can’t go around the country making all my friends and family try my tasty treats like I really want to do. I imagine most will be kind of normal concoctions, some will be more fun, but all will be things I’ve never made before. Which is why something as simple as apple pie is here. I’ve never before happened to have a big pile of apples laying around just waiting to be made into pie. Now I have apples all the dang time (although I can tell from this week’s box that summer has finally arrived and with it a welcomed absence of apples)! Because I am crazy it is safe to assume everything will be from recipes I make up, at least that’s been the case so far.
