hey nice shirt/pourquoi est-ce qu'on utilise un bidet?/reunidos!

pour se laver les pieds, of course!

with the summer heat and new shoes i was constantly asking myself this question and responding in the same manner as the above. who knows what kind of crap lies on the sidewalks of the streets and the subway of buenos aires? so, with new shoes creating blisters every time i go out i utilised the bidet quite often. i would come in off the street, wash my hands, then fill the bidet and wash my feet.

quite inventive, no? and yes i know that's not the real use for a bidet but it was either that or lifting my feet up to the sink and i didn't have the patience for that after a day of walking around on injured feet.

nice shirt, right? it was my xmas gift to him (my brother.) don't i have a good eye? it fit him perfectly. as we were leaving the bar of friday night's infamous reencounter, steeeevoooo had just re-entered (to save his friend from going home with "a girl he just met" and all that hand-wavey brainwash crap) and he said, "hey, nice shirt!" i jumped up in the air all giddy and said YESSSS!!!!!!!! i brought that to him from argentina, doesn't it fit perfectly???!

then he says, like a glove.

david d and i look at each other and bust out laughing. steeevooo wonders what's going on, we explain the inside joke:

well i have this one friend, alex, and he got something like a frisbee stuck on the roof of his house and he used this thing to get it down and when he got it down he said, "like a glove," but it didn't make any sense!

a while ago for some reason all my CDs disappeared. i have not been able to find them since. so, with each trip to south america i replace some and add some more to my small collection.

aah this time around i have been reunited with my favorite song almost ever. it's called completo incompleto by jarabe de palo. and i had also forgotten the one before it, which is also excellent, until i heard the lyrics:
...
pasion y ley
dificil mezcla;
agua y sed
serio problema

cuando uno tiene sed
pero el agua no esta cerca
cuando uno quiere beber
pero el agua no esta cerca

como quieres ser mi amiga
cuando esta carta recibas
un mensaje hay entre lineas
(bla bla bla because i forgot)

so why are 9 and 10 always the best tracks on the CD?

the lyrics to my favorite song will have to be searched for by the reader should s/he be so inclined.

my mom: yeah chris and amanda saw the ultrasound yesterday.
me: is that the lady with manhands?
my mom: why do you always say that?
me: because! i look at people's hands and hers are especially un-feminine.
mrs. s: what about my hands?
me: well i've never looked at your hands but they must be fine because otherwise i would have noticed.

for real though, she DOES have man hands. they're huge!
