This is infuriating. The U.S. withheld $40 million because Brazil hands out free condoms to prostitutes and has a needle-exchange program.

Went with 2 friends last night to see Lost In Translation projected on the side of the Castle of Montuïc, which was incredible.  3,000 people gathered in the moat of this old castle, drinking, eating, and relaxing, while a great movie was playing.  I forgot how much I loved that movie, and definitely need to buy it when I get home.

It´s been awhile.
