Here’s a few photos from our new abode. So far we’ve bought 3 shelves, two computer desks, a sofa, an armchair, a dining table and are in the process of connecting the house to the interwebs. Once they’re up and running we’ll be moving in. We also met the neighbours who seem a very nice bunch and seem amenable to energetic little black dogs.
Anyroad, we’re off yard saling. A bientot mes amis.
So tomorrow, AgaveWeb.com, (or was it webagave.com?) should be up and running, and I can spam all the local NGOs with my business proposals. I hope the 2 dollar a month hosting plan I found isn’t too bargain basement. Still it’ll give me a chance to try out movable type, a blog engine which leaves this creaking GreyMatter one far behind. If I can migrate the files from here, then I’ll probably change to M.T. with all its bells and whistles.
I’ve just shoved a load of new photos up onto flickr. Here’re some faves:
Worcestershire Sauce, and since the pronunciation of Worcestershire in Spanish goes something like this wore sayst air esheeray, it’s branded as salsa ingles- English Sauce.
Stepped on a lemon by accident, then took a photo before the ants carried it away…
Been playing quite a bit of guitar of late. And having MTV and VH1 means I can strum along in my idle moments.
Christmas has come early in Garibaldi street…
…but then at the last minute I got an email from Karla from Laboratorios Julio inviting me along to some kind of Sony camera promo thing at the same time, so that´s where I´m off in a minute. I´m also popping by a place that transfers LPs to CDs and afterwards, probably hitting a concert in aid of the Tabasco peeps who are going through a living hell right now after the floods. Them Plastiko folks are going to be there, and since I know the words to one of their songs it´ll be worth a go.
Yesterday was a national holiday, to do with revolutions and the like. So among other things I took advantage of the relatively carless streets to cruise around on a friends bike, went to McDonalds to fully engage in the essential mexicanness of the day and then, as atonement, went to see Fraude in the cinema with young Sita. A documentary all about how Lopez Obrador was robbed. Although there was an obvious bias it was still compulsive viewing and highlights just goes to show that it´s not just the gringos who know how to rig elections. Then we got interviewed by some internet radio-podcast peeps afterwards. Sita shone, and I think I said something intelligible, but it was a long day. I´ll keep an ear out for in the interweb.
Took the car in to be serviced today before the off. It´s going to cost a fair bit to fix all the little things apparently. Anyroad, got to go. Help finance the trip with our for sale page…

The telly’s up for grabs too, what’s a fair price for a 32 inch GE CRT?
We’ve already bought our flights, so hopefully won’t need these: State-of-the-art shoes aid migrants
125 quid’s a bit steep for your average border crosser though… but great idea all the same… via boingboing.net
It was the size of footballs, so it was… it just melted while I tried to find the macro settings on the camera. Actually not even pingpong ball sized, but hefty all the same.
Graniza?.. Anyroad, hopefully it’ll destroy all the black widow spiders… 
like the one we found lurking yesterday. Hang on, what if they come into the house to shelter? That’s it… I’m sleeping fully clothed clutching a spray can of RAID EXTRA (the adverts for which show the insects actually EXPLODING after you zap them) and commending myself to the Virgin of Guadalupe.
