i am still trying to find a program on this computer that will let me know lighten the photo i just posted (i have one at my apt but it is obviously not here, so...). it is a good-un. one of the twin sisters (oscar´s sisters) and one of oscar´s nephews are not in the pic. sylvia, osc´s you know, woman, is taking the photo.

it is really cool because his brother sent the photo from puebla and titled it familia. he said that everyone there wanted to make sure i knew that i was part of that title and that they all expected me to return to see them very soon. oscar always calls me brother also, which makes me feel good. on top of it all, did i tell you? i am finally a godfather. yes, little alexia natalia is my godchild.

was i the only one waiting for me to become a godfather?

ok there is a very good reason my posts have been absent recently. it is called www.mcsweeneys.net and if you have not gone, do it right now. you will never return to my blog. there are daily posts and then there are some hilarious features as well: posts from an english adjunct at ¨large state uni¨ is one of my faves, as are the anals of science. seriously. you will cry laughing. i no longer do any work because that is where my time goes. this is not totally true but at least an hour a day is spent there. this is entertainment for years to come. i may make a list of some favorites to post on here.

and please, dont everyone comment at once. give me a break, you know. i mean, i think you must all be trying to post at once and they are all getting blocked.
