aight so i know i faven't posted shit for a while but hey my bumb ass just can't get himself to do so. But have no fear I'm writing stuff now!!!

hmmm... So this weekend...

Oh yeah on Saturday me, hortencia, leticica, Joe, and Chris were invited to a House party! and of course we went. the party was to celebrate the b-day of some exchange kid that's living in Joe's host mom's house, who's from Tabasco (the b-day guy).

So first we met in el centro de Merida cause i proposed (me being the artsy whatever type) to go see the Picasso exhibit that is at the Olimpo cultural center in el centro, isn't that crazy who the hell would of thought that Picasso would be in Merida!!!

but of course the other guys didn;t really like the exhibit, i sort of liked it but i was a bit dissapointed cause the stuff that they wr showing was mainly stuff he did in his early artistic life. So it was mainly crappy sketches, and stuff that seems like (to quote Joe) "anyone of us can do!" But there wr some interesting pieces that kinda hinted somethign at his later works.

anyway then we went to see another art exhibitm, this time it was at the museaum of contemporary art which is actually called: museo de arte contemporaneo ateneo de merida: MACAY. ths exhibit was more to my liking cause it had some cool, valga la redundancia, modern art. Here ar some of the artists that i liked the most:

renato dorfman
emmanuel cruz
uco cuenca
angela tlanextli
marisol d'estrabeau

But yeah hopefully u guys can see some of their stuff online.

So after the modern art exhibit me, hortencia, and leticia heade over to a bar and ate some food, i also had a pina colada, oh yeah i ate som salbutes! dang yo i'm turning into a yucatecan! shit this food is pretty good, but not "good-er" than my jefitas.
After the food we took a bus over to Joe's house and it took us like an hour to get there (bus plus walking for like 30 minutes!!!) then after we got to Joe's pad it turns out we had to go back in the same way we walked to wait for another damn bus! we waited for like another hour adn no bus! so we had to take a taxi to the house where the party was gonna be at. the house was in this new part of town where all the damn houses look alike, it reminded me of some freakin stepfords wife shit or somethign!!!
but anyways i thougt the party was gonn a be wack, but it wasn't. well we "americans" kinda started the party by asking for music, so they went and brought someone's stereo system, and teaching the meridianos how to play BEER PONG!!!!!!!!!! damn yo they really liked it, and they were pretty good even though it was the first time they were playing it!!

the kids in my program and i had to leave early cause the next day (sunday) we had to go on an excursion to UXMAL, ehich by the way i already posted pics of on facebook so you shoud go see it!!!!

so yeah that was my weekend

i've been having a shit ton of reading to do for my Literatura caribena class and my antropologia de las cavernas, and shit let me just post my classes:


Literatura Caribena (caribbean lit)
Antropologia de las cavernas (Anthro of caves)
Catedra de Autor Indigena (Indigenous writer seminar, deals with linguistics and text analysis)
Arqueologia Subacuatica (subacuatic arqueology!)
Taller de fotografia (i get to learn how to use an analog camera!!, by the way i got one today, these shits are expensive eventhough no one uses them anymore!)



well i would talk about Uxmal but i think the pics on facebook shoudl explain most of it. I do have to say that i did eat a ton of food, i ate so much that i couldn't even walk comfortably!
De Landa (some old missionary from yucatan) burnt a shit ton of maya codices and artefacts that today would have been very helpful in the endless effort of studyin gth emaya civilization of the past, shit maybe we could know what's really gonna happen in 2012 ahhahaha!! oh yeah and the walkk around Uxmal was tyring, although it was pretty tight.

well i'm tired of writing now so until next time

i forget if i mentioned this before but me and ashley (mainly me) came up with this new smiley:

i might go watch a movie tonight, but that's up in the air right now i don;t know if i should do that or do my reading for caribbean lit? oh the choices i have to make!!!!!
