What a wierd group we are...

Today we are moving into our new apartment. And last night we went out for dinner and later to a bar to celebrate our move. Upon returning hime, Sebastian, Ashlee, and I made our way over to the living room where we have been spending the majority of our time together. It seems that every night we stay up way too late (usually about 2am). But it is hard to say no to our silly ridiculous times together. I wish I could show you guys a video of the conversations we have. Last night, Sebastian and Ashlee were playing telephone with each others feet. At one point they made up some silly story about going to another planet. Sebastian held onto Ashlee's foot as if it were a telelphone and had a crazy converstaion with "out travel agent" about which planet we would be going to. The phone conversation ended with him agreeing that the moon is a much better vacation spot than Jupiter and Ashlee and I rolling in our laughter. We are SO odd in this house. And the sweet part is that the fun is only going to continue when we move into our new apartment. THe new roommate, Paula, is a friend of Sebastians and we will se if she can let go of her proper demeanor for our nights of ridiclous fun.

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
