On a whim, while surfing around looking for attractions on the Camino Real I stumbled across the Gwod Paleontological Museum which had a competition on its entry page. Name a Jaliscan predator from the pleiscean period. Easy, I thought, as I googled Jaliscan pleiscean predators and navegated my way around google’s “did you mean pleiscean, pleascian etc pages” and eventually hit on Sabre Toothed Tigers. Q2: What gets stuck in amber? Didn’t have to google that one. Anyroad, if I go to the museum I’ll get a free “promotional article”. Please be a T-shirt or some amber…

Then I saw another ad in the Publico with a compo for free tickets to the cinema for the first 3 people to email in with who the film Last Days was based on. I had the severe misfortune to watch that particular movie and knew it was Kurt Cobain. I never reviewed it though because (Ed and) me walked out of the cinema after 50 excrutiating minutes (and not before about a dozen other people jumped ship too). Anyroad, the good news: I’ve won ONE ticket to see any film in the cycle this week, the bad news, the films are all pants. Instead of going to get my ticket today I’ll probably just watch more episodes of Lost and see BareBrokeback Mountain tomorrow (Secretos en la Montaña) on 25 peso night in Centro Magno…

Some of my DVD purchases from the baratillo on Sunday turned out to be a bit off. One doesn’t work with XP. One web package’s FTP application is shagged. The other 2 are fine though. The quandary this week will be buying Lost Season II or having a rich and fulfilling life outside of the Cathode Ray Tube.
