This morning I saw my first Mexican cockroach. It flies. Dear lord... it flies. Once I figured out it was a cockroach I was less concerned for myself - at least it´s not poisonous, just creepy ahahah

Days have begun to blur into days - time has always passed slowly when unemployed. Now I´m unemployed and far away from the downtown, not to mention the continually bad Spanish skills. Edson and George called me on it today - they´re right. I really haven´t been trying; a huge mistake. I shouldnt let being shy or embarassed potentially cripple me from learning. It´s dumb and from A Cinderalla Story, but it sticks with me still; "Never let fear of losing keep you from playing the game."

Edson lent me his miniDVD thing last night so I stayed up late watching movies - something with Keifer Sutherland in it about Godan, who I learned about in school last year, The Butterfly Effect (weird, but interesting) and something Mexican called Como Agua Para Chocolate, which happened to have an even more bizarre ending than The Butterfly Effect. In any case, these plus Skinny Legs and All, the Tim(om) Robbins book I´ve been reading have been inspiring a sense of art which I´m deeming futile and usless for my cause of relaxation.

I wish I could say I was keeping busy, but it would be a lie :P
I did buy a football though, so Edson and me played in the parking lot in between rainshowers. It turns out it rains during the day a lot too :P curses on the rainy season, although everything is a wonderful vibrant shade of green.

For the last few days I was convinced that i wasn´t receiving any more attention than I would in Toronto - then yesterday I went outside without my headphones. Today it was the hat. The serentity of the headphones is unsurpassed thus far - the ability to ignore my surrounding may result in me getting runover, but overall I remain hopeful of not dying in Mexico.

and I can{t find sugar - azucar. It´s driving me nuts!!! They´re hiding it somewhere - I know it!
