Ok, I'm a couple years late but I can't stop listening to this song by The Knife. The video is too good to be true, everything I love; a tranny, hot thuggish boys, weird dancing and old people.

Embarazada?!!!
Well, I'm back from my lovely trip to Argentina. Despite lingering romantic dreams of foreign locales, I've more or less recovered. Usually I am abysmally depressed upon my return from trips - I run away from all my problems, hedonistically indulge my senses and then I have to return home to responsibility and everything I've tried so hard to escape. I have reverse culture shock and mope for weeks.
BUT this time I don't feel too bad. Mostly I think its because my trip was only 2 weeks, but I also like to think its because I'm being more positive and proactive about my life now. Ummmmm yeah...
Anyway, it was not too bad being back at work. I got lots of hugs from everyone. That was really nice. And the chef I used to hook up with was suddenly surreptitiously checking me out again. The guys in the kitchen kept telling me "B. likes jueras." (Juera is pronounced 'where-a', it means white girl, usually blonde, in Spanish). They also happened to mention that he is going to be a father. I know he already has one kid in Mexico and that the mom wants pretty much nothing to do with him. But apparently he's knocked up some poor girl here. So now he's got another kid on the way in the US. His friend told me this in front of me of him. I was like "Is this true?!" He nodded. I didn't know what to say. It was a bit awkward to have the man who you used to casually hook up with tell you that he got some girl pregnant. I joked that he'd better start working harder, to support his new family. Then he started making jokes half in English half in Spanish about how he's gonna pay only $10 a month in child support. Damn... I told him I felt sorry for the baby momma. I really do.
Ahhhhh... Thank god we were always really careful about that sort of thing. I just could not see myself having this man's child. He's not a bad guy but he reminds me of a lost, confused 14 year old boy.
