Thursday 10/30/08

Typical morning. At class we discussed violence in Latin America and watched an amazing documentary about various perspectives on the war in Iraq. After class and lunch with friends I made my way downtown to do a little shopping and just wander the city. I finally made my way home around 3:30 and caught up on this blog, e-mails, etc. The rest of the afternoon was pretty uneventful, but also nice and relaxing. Before dinner I helped Pamela with her homework and taught her to play that game where you try to connect the dots to make squares (does that game even have an official name?). We ate a “kids only meal” of soup as Mami and Papi went out to run errands (being the oldest child I know that’s code for a date/some alone time…haha). After dinner we had some intense staring contests. We even had the dogs play. I was quoting (translating into Spanish as best as possible) Will Ferrell’s SNL Robert Goulet skit (“Staring contest. You. Me. Right now! You win. You always do!) and had David and Pamela cracking up. After our eyes were practically cross-eyed we decided to call it a night.
