Tetris book:
Crunch time boys and girls. There is just a few more days until this guy has to be sent and of course there is plenty, plenty more to do.
Of course my head is trying to play tricks on me: “Push the deadline back just a few more days! It will create a higher quality book! You’ll make more money! You won’t look like an idiot!”
Luckily, I know this is hogwash. I’ve seen first hand in journalism how rarely pushing back a story results in a better one. Most ‘the time the interviews that couldn’t take place by deadline, surprise, slip past the next deadline too.
July 4, freedom or typos, this book will be… in the books.
Spanish:
I have felt like a total bad-a the last two days reading the news. While the last time I set out to read the news only in Spanish I squirmed every time I opened up an article, I’m actually enjoying it now. I’m not reading Don Quixote, but it sure beats reading Los Tres Osos.
I’ve been watching CNN Espanol and reading BBC Espanol and lovin’ it. I’m not sure, but I think the BBC might be english stories translated into Spanish, so that makes it quite a bit easier. I’ve dabbled with some Chilean and Argentine papers but it’s pretty damn tough. This is a nice in-between.

PS: I am looking forward to not having to update everyday.
PPS: I am looking forward to going camping by myself soon too. I’ve never done it before and it’s supposed to grow your manhood like none other.
Day 10: She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when she comes
