Relajante (as in Relax!)
Hola from DR once again...
here's a little tale called "all-inclusive", whereas our hero & heroine, we'll call them Pajuil & Pajuila, since that is how you say, "peacock" in espanol... discover dried blood on the mirror in their room, as in, perhaps this is the type of all-inclusive where Dominican drug lords bring their mules to crap out pellets full of cocaine...how Maria, Full of Grace! at first, this seems exciting, but then we realize it's probably because some German cut themselves shaving while staying in the same room in 1998, and they never bothered to replace the mirror...and then a large winged Dominican bug flew into my left eye and decided to not fly out of my eye and live, but rather, stay embedded in my lower retina and die a pained and completely voluntary death, and I needed to dump an entire case of bottled water in my eye to flush it out...in which, it looked to many that perhaps my puffy face was part of a small clause in Ike Turner's Last Will and Testament, to which I thought of perhaps fashioning an eye patch for myself out of a condom, like Lisa Left Eye Lopes, who died in DR...or was it Costa Rica? Whatever, same thing....but I am distracted from constructing an eyepatch, because lo and behold...large Britsh man in a purple Speedo tells us that Heath Ledger died! WTF, God? But actually, my better half admits to being relieved that it isn't Jake Gyllenhaal being carted away by an NYC Trauma Unit. So, that made us sad for about three minutes, however, about halfway into the third minute of being sad, we remembered our own misery, and went about being super pissy, since we paid for an ocean front room, yet they decided to give us a room that overlooked the dumpster filled with rotting vegetation.
Que Fantastico!

Who knew?
I just took an online career test to see what I REALLY should be doing with my life.
Well, it turns out that I am doing exactly what I should be doing. So odd. Who knew?
My results:
ESFP: "Entertainer". Radiates attractive warmth and optimism. Smooth, witty, charming, clever. Fun to be with. Very generous. They make good performers, they like public relations, and they love the phone. 13% of the total population.

Nevada Girl Power
Hola from the DR....now you would think that I'd be writing about all sorts of Dominican things that I am doing, and how my Spanish is muy perfecto...hell no. I can't seem to relax. In fact, I spent a good portion of last night, hunched by the tv, biting my nails watching caucus returns on CNN.
I know that Ex Page is spiritually rejoicing with me right now...and here's some advice to the self-annointed king BO: next time you're looking for votes, don't channel a B movie actor with Alzheimer's. If you're going to reference a Republican as a change agent, make it the Terminator. Bedtime for Bonzo, inde1ed!
Gotta go...more idealogical rants later

Sundaziness
Today I was forced to go to brunch with my colleagues. As some form of schadenfreude a higher-up gave the gaggle of my level people a gift certificate for brunch. One certificate for all of us. So we had to go together.
Very sweet. Really. Except, with no offense to my co-workers, I don't care that much to do things together on the weekend. Probably because I'm not friends with all of them. I like them. I like most of them. I like a few of them.
I mean, I'd rather be brunching with the infamous Clique 25.
So today I got myself out of bed at an incredibly decent hour to make my way to a hip and trendy downtown locale.
The good news is Ethan Hawke was brunching with us. Sure, not at our table. But a few tables over. So I guess it was fine. Or at least it was free.
