Queridos vecinos del dpto. 505,

Si bien se están preguntando qué  demonios estoy haciendo aquí en el 605, porque les tinka que estoy arrastrando, pieza por pieza, cada mueble que tengo en el departamento desde un lado al otro, pues...

In honor of Passover, which I'm doing precious little for, you should definitely check out this irreverent view of the 10 plagues. Demonstrated with bunny peeps. Which, by the way, are not kosher for passover, because they have corn syrup in them.

comment if it would change your life in any way if I were to go friends only. I know I have a friend in Toronto who would have to get an account. Am I missing anyone else? Would it make any difference in your life? I have been feeling like going friends only ( Read more... )

We've just had the third very perceivable tremor in four days. At least, I have felt three, dunno if there have been more. What's going on Pacific Rim of Fire? What are you up to? I wonder if there's any relationship to the fairly large earthquake that shook Hawaii today. I mean, it's been months since we had a good shake here in Santiago. Now we ( Read more... )
