Las Diez Plagas!

Yesterday I was supposed to go to Rosario. Unfortunately, I'm a freak who didn't hear either of the TWO alarms I set (one of which is the Batman theme. How did I miss that?) They went without me so I went to school.

Anyway...last night was a typically-American one, except for the fact that it started at midnight. A group of about eight people went to a friend's house to watch a horror movie. Last night's choice: the Reaping (or in espaƱol, Pruebas de Fe, which sounds so much more intense, especially if you say it in a very deep voice with a Spanish accent). The girls kept talking throughout the movie and the boys kept yelling at them to shut up. This made me feel so at home. The movie, for those who don't know, is essentially a modern retelling of the ten plagues section of Passover. You can imagine:

Sangre! (dip)
Ranas! (dip)
Piojos! (dip)
Moscas! (dip)
Enfermedades de Vacas! (dip)
Granos! (dip)
Fuego! (dip)
Langostas! (dip)
Oscuridad! (dip)
Muerte de la Primer Nacido! (dip)

So many new words for next year's Seder!


Today I slept through the morning and then watched the Argentina-Paraguay football game with some amigos. And by football I mean soccer.

I apologize for this brief and boring post, but the last two days have been just that.

Tonight's activity, however, is a visit to a bigger boliche in a nearby town. Rumor has it that this one is even louder than the other.

Grandpa may need to start researching hearing aids.

Haha i guess i am mentioned. yeah, last night i was watching a movie with some people and me and this other kid kept talking through it, and everyone else was too stoned to care. but i told the kid that i was so happy to find someone who liked to talk through movies, as my friends from home hated it haha.
