I rang the coliseo (Lucha Libre place) today just to check they wouldn’t let cameras in even with advance notice. Turns out you need an official press credential. I said, not from here I don’t… So I thought to myself, how could I get in touch with a quality paper who might be able to…
I finally managed a new minor film review (in the sidebar if you’re using a decent browser), and I’m trying to get back into my blogging groove, but I’ve got a fair bit of “chamba” on at the minute- translating movie scripts, site updates and getting my head around a WordPress e-commerce site. This is…
In 2009, Google added streetview to their maps of Guadalajara, so I’ve added the occasional link (marked as “SV”). The links show images from 2009 but you can slide the date range to see more up-to-date pics. Looking for things to do in Guadalajara? We´re at the end of a fairly long stream of visitors…
What follows is a post from yesterday about my new photo blog that promptly crashed once I started publicising it. I’m still not sure what caused it but after reinstalling all manner of stuff it’s back up and running… Alrighty, I got my lappy back and it’s been going for 4 hours straight with no…
When we went to Tequila on Sunday, Sita noticed a book on display “taken from the new Town History Archive”. This was news to us. So we went back yesterday as it turns out they opened this archive about 6 months ago after months of painstaking cleaning, sorting and databasing of a huge amount of…
It went brilliantly. Obviously it took a while for everyone to turn up, gringos first (myself included) then Mexicans, which meant I’d had 3 beers before we headed off… But I was well impressed with the turn out- 12 Flickreros. El Charro Negro beat me to the T-shirt idea and was already wearing his self-designed…
obviously he’s missing his other family in L.A., but just to show how he’s adapting to life south of the tropic of Cancer, here he is refreshing himself with chilled mineral water on Sunday’s Via Recreativa: and here’s the famous “Daily Doggy Dinner Dance” along with feeding instructions: He’s a great one for cheering us…
…about whether the the snap.com preview things currently popping up all over the intertubes are a good or bad thing. Here at agaveweb we value your opinion, cherish your patronage and are forever buggering around trying to make reading this rubbish less painful. Please be so good as to click either the Polls tab above…
has now finished so I find myself browsing my various web feeds and here are the highlights: Why can’t you buy cashew nuts in their shells? Balloons, balloons, balloons. Balloons!. Mavis Beacon’s typing tutor this ain’t. Jon Stewart doing what he does best. Possible engineering project for my new office. Jeebus knows what myth they…
I just read wikipedia’s English article on Pozole. Pozole … is a traditional pre-Columbian soup or stew made from hominy, with pork (or other meat), chili, and other seasonings and garnish, such as cabbage, lettuce, oregano, cilantro, avocado, radish, lime juice, etc…. The story of pozole is obscure, but some believe that the stew originated…
Working like a demented aichtee-emeller today, the microdosis apothecary site‘s now brimming with products and crappy pictures. Among them Hierba de Sapo (Toad Grass, or Eryngo), Essence of Umbilical Cord and Shark Cartilage (sp?). None of them will cure my lifetime affliction of sneezing when I see bright lights or eat strong mints. However, I’m…
Just going through my early morning RSS feeds, the following stood out from boingboing and TCAL x 2 respectively: and Hitler Cats and Peugeot Parking Game
I’m developing a new habit of writing about myself in the first person plural… Anyroad, just posting this as a SEO thing and it’s a handy article for people wondering how business gets done round my way. It’s on my main site in Spanish, but it doesn’t hurt to have keyword rich articles under the…
It doesn’t half take it out of you, being ill. I’m way past the worst of it but still have a slightly green tinge to my complexion and all the abdominal muscles I used recreating scenes from The Exorcist on Saturday night are aching like buggery right now. Still that’s one more strain of gastroenteritis…
Blimey I on bert’s phone. Might explain later, just testing the system… RSS… *edit* OK, I shall explain just had a long chat with bert and he mentioned his mobile phone could handle RSS feeds and now he’s got my blog on his phone. It’s one of those days for technological firsts. So César, Sita…
It’s worth watching the 2nd section too, where he says, this administration is soaring, not sinking… they’re not “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic¨. They’re rearranging the deckchairs on the Hindenberg. Este guey si tiene huevos… EDIT: May 4th, 2006: YouTube’s taken this down apparently “At the request of C-Span” I’m not convinced… more…
Next time we get to L.A. we have to pass by The Bunny Museum… Apparently Martin had a crash-course in rabbit feeding before Sally came over here. One day he reported they hadn’t eaten their food. On closer investigation Sally discovered two highly non-plussed lagomorphs staring at a food bowl full of ultra-absorbant litter tray…
Have you seen the photos from yesterday yet? There’s a nice one of the girls… They all hightailed it over to Puerto Vallarta this morning, if the bus left at 9ish, they’ll probably be there by now. Unfortunately they left the camera, but luckily we’ve got Sally’s photographic memory and fine line in well-observed anecdotes……
