Me camera’s back in working order

ByGwyn Fisher

100_9980 And I’ve added another room to the mansion here. There used to be a room halfway up the patio stairs that doubled as a storeroom/ cockroach graveyard. I’ve just tidied it, swept it and painted the walls and once I’ve done the ceiling I’ll have a decent little office and should free up some room around the place. What did people do before wireless internet? Just have to get a cordless phone and away we go. Again.

Have another misty photo from yesterday of Tonalá’s latest craze- Follow-you-round-the-room-Jesus . I reckon he’s looking at Daniel to my left, mind. Just as unsettling as one of my favourite YouTube videos.

Subcomandante Sita

100_5915While I was slaving away on Nueva Era Kindergarten and much, much more’s website Sita was off listening to a talk by legendary Mexican Zapatista Subcomandante Marcos. My camera is notoriously fickle in indoors situations especially on full zoom, but she snapped a few nice shots. Who knew that Marquitos was a chain pipe smoker? Anyway all this on Benito Juarez’s bicentennial, which is a holiday for the country, except I had yesterday off instead. If I’d realised that I could have listened to a lecture on neoconservatism from the revolutionary lyricist himself I might have changed it. Hey ho. So we’re off this evening with plan C: watch the footy in a pub. Fernando should be round any second, and possibly Sr. Valdez too…

We’re in two minds about whether to leave it white or paint the same colour on the door area. Comment if you’ve really nothing better to do…

Bad joke from el Cala

CUANDO LA MUJER SE SACA EL MELATE (Mexican Lottery)

Una mujer llega a casa muy apresuradamente, rechina las llantas de su auto en la entrada, corre dentro de la casa tirando las puertas y grita a todo pulmón a su marido:

‘Apúrate!! Empaca tus maletas!! ¡¡Me gané el Melaaaaateee!!!!!!!!!’

-El marido responde entusiasmado:

‘¡¡¡Dios mío!!!…. ¿¿¿Qué debo empacar??? ¿ropa de playa o de montaña?

Ella responde…

-¡No importa pendejo!!!!. ¡¡¡¡Solo empaca y LARGATE A LA CHINGADA!!!!
