FRIDAY

Por fin llegamos al viernes... Out in Renca, the kids were fiesty! Two kids were playing and one got hit pretty hard and actaulyl started bleeding in his mouth. We found the source of blood was his tongue that he bit when he was hit. After crying for a minute or two, he was back to complete rowdiness with the other kids. I don't know if there was extra sugar in the Kool Aid or what, but they were energized!
I got home and Rachie and i began the clean up and set up process for our big party tonight. It was Silvias Birthday party with a splash of a welcome home party for Timo. All of youth group plus more were invited.
We ran off to youth group at 7 and got there late... again!
After youth group the party started and I have to admit that this party is SO much more my style that the party last week. This party, although it included alcohol, it was drunk free. Also, for the most part we all knew each other, so it was easy for the groups to mix around and it didn't feel cliquish (whao, don't ask me about the spelling there!). We had ice cream and cupcakes and lots of cookies. At the end of the night it was the "usual" crowd: My roommates, of course, Sammy, Jason, and Nathan. We sat around, Jason playing songs on the guitar for everyone to sing slong to, Rachel and Ashlee chiding him for not knowing James Taylor, Sam and I discussing some church matter, and Seba sitting on the couch listening to (probably without understanding) the cloud of English around him.
Anyways the boys left and we got to bed at a fairly decent hour for a friday night. It was not much later than 4 am.

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!
