Not as windy as it sounds… similarly low-res video of Sita, Dad and dolphins coming soon. Off to Ajijic today. I think.

Another night at the Lucha Libre

100_4764

Last night Daniel, Monica, Carlos, Jonathon and I went to the Lucha Libre. The usual plan is to meet at the Rincon de la Doa for pre-lucha banter, but it’s being remodelled so we ended up at the nearly empty Nuevo Leon. We drilled Monica on her Spanish verb tenses and got some tequila in to make the upcoming theatrics easier to believe. And once again the luchadores did not disappoint. The stand outs were Hijo del Rayo de Jalisco and some bloke in red gloves with vaguely indigenous features whom the audience chanted “Pocahontas” at… Another solid evening’s entertainment.

And since you’re doubtless wondering what I had for tea yesterday, Tortilla Espaola, and then Tacos de Carne Asada from Tacos Reforma (y Americas). Thanks for asking 🙂

Job interview

100_3788I had another job interview yesterday for a really cool little design company. I’d be a glorified office assistant and have the chance to learn the ropes of documentary making/ sound editing. It would be full time. Anyroad, if I get it I’d start of Jan 3rd full time. So fingers crossed for that one. And talking of audio editing here’s the latest 2350k MP3 of me playing Here Comes the Sun. I don’t have a capo with me so I recorded it played at the neck of the guitar then whacked it up 7 semitones with Audacity. There’s actually 4 tracks on there, the chords, the melody, another melody bit and a whistled acompaniment that, if I got it right, only dogs can hear.

Ed, if you’re out there, give us a ring/email with details on when (if) you’re getting here. Thanks like.

Erm what else? My up-to-now wonderful laptop cut out this morning. It had overheated, so it’s now propped up on stilts made of mini post it notes. I hope that sorts it out. I think it’s too much scrabble or maybe skype. Probably time to back up a few files… And the photo by this entry is a pic of the photos by my computer, the rest are on the fridge. Kodak gave me $9.99 commision since various people signed up and bought photos of Meg and Matt’s wedding. So I spent it printing photos of family and friends. They arrived the same day as the (extortionate) phone/internet bill which softened the blow a bit.
