Word of the week: Armazón
I may have mentioned I’m doing a website selling glasses frames. Well, spectacle frames in Spanish are armazones. I was hoping to get some mistyped traffic from amazon.com but armazon.com was already taken… and your phrase is:
“No quiero queso sino salir de la ratonera”- I don’t want cheese, I just want to get out of the mousetrap.
Suggestions on when you could use this in the comments, por favor…
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 at BoingBoing

Hopefully I’m in good enough shape now to prove a valuable member of the team in tonight’s music pub quiz. They’re not that common round here and this here quiz is something of a yearly event apparently. I’ll be taking it easy all the same cos tomorrow I’m driving round for all kinds of meetings from 9 till 7. Have I mentioned it’s quite hot this week? Well it is and so I was inspired to finally take the car to mechanics to get the air conditioning sorted out. It’s always been working but had the inconvenient feature of howling like some demented banshee on helium, which attracts more attention that I’d care for when driving round town. Anyroad, 4 quid or 80 pesos later and it’s sorted, a loose belt or screw or summink. Nice one, Sr. Mecánico.
Mazamitla this weekend for Sita’s second to the power of five birthday. Apparently it’s going to bucket down on Saturday. That would be most welcome. And tomorrow, I’m told, is Towel Day. Not really a Mexican festival, indeed I think this bloke just made it up, it’s to celebrate Douglas Adams’s life or indeed liff.
Went to the SF MOMA for the 1st time and sneaked a few crafty pix in with the zire palm thing. Generally not too impressed with that museum. anyroad, maybe tomorrow i’ll post them with a few thoughts about the contents of the museum. meanwhile, gotta take the canine round the block… constantine’s been universally slated, and so to plan b, Anchorman.
