My best vacation ever was in Caracas. There were other factors at play besides location for making it the best, but still. The best. Not exactly the wilds, though. The weather was perfect-o. Birthplace, Buenos Aires. No memories of it, but in the home movies? Beautiful. My mother says Buenos Aires was her favorite of the places we lived. I want to visit - pilgrimage to the natal site!
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

move out and draw fire
I really liked Bolivia, once I got past the altitude sickness. And the food in Peru was good. Panama was the best for animal- and bird-watching, but it's not technically South America.
SO jealous of Perkins and her Galapagos trip.
I am sleep-deprived. The wind is howling down off the mountain and making these moaning roaring noises through our windows and shutters. I sheeted out our awnings pretty tight, but the landlord did not, so there's occasional snapping of canvas, and their metal porch swing is banging against the porch railing and echoing through the house like a drum.
However, I have trained myself to sleep through everything but baby noise, so I'd be fine except that my DH, in his 5:00 am haze, decided the noise was the landlord vaccuuming, and got angry, and sort of huffed and tossed and griped for the next couple hours. I tried to point out that not even our landlord would vaccuum at 5:00 am, but after they rang our doorbell at 3:30 am a couple weeks ago, he'll believe anything.
edit: shiny number!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
GOOD MORNING, NATTER.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, dear. Jesse is channeling Robin Williams. Everyone watch out for portrayals of schmooptastic characters.

It's the friday before a long weekend. This means :
1) I don't want to work
2) I hope it will be quiet and
3) I have to work so things aren't frantic here on Tuesday.

msbelle, Jesse's being perky. Make her stop!
Raq, anybody will believe anything if they have the 5:00 am grumpies. It's a rule. Sorry you had to suffer for it, though.
Mister Kitty decided to discover the blinds at 6:30. And then the lawn guys started mowing and edging at 7. I decided it was saturday and overslept. See?

some jackhole left the bathroom window open and opened the door to the hallway (my money's on the cleaning people), so that the entire third floor is humid and wilty. I can feel my pores clogging and I already had a headache from the air pressure. feh.

Well, at least it doesn't stink, right?
Seriously, the air outside my workplace stinks. Cross between stale sewage and diesel. I'm not sure why. It's beginning to creep inside.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Last night, some kids stole a sewage truck and went a little crazy?
