I knew that spring would come around this time, but it's nonetheless caught me off guard. I guess one doesn't realize how in tune his body is with natural cycles until a cycle starts going backwards. All the trees along the streets have leaves suddenly and there's flowers and insects everywhere. the days are longer and a lot warmer. everyone's planning barbecues... but that's hardly a change. barbecues are super popular here.
i've started to get into chiean cinema. i've only seen five of their movies, but they were all totally kickass. ursula and i went out to see a new one last night called 'malta con huevo.' it was one of the most whacked-out and funniest movies i've seen... kind of reminded me of 'happiness'... another great opus of our times. there weren't any subtitles and i still got every joke even though it was chilean spanish (the worst spanish in the world). so my spanish must be improving. one of my professors said that my essay (on chilean cinema) was outstanding.
life without a computer is just fine. i stil have my external hard drive with all my essays, music and photos... i've been reading more.
