Birthday Wishes

T minus three months and a half-ish until I come back to Texas for a few days :) woo! Wow, Ive already been here almost 4 months, seems so weird. Time goes by fast.

So the other day Winnie ate a bee - he loves catching flies for some reason and sometimes a bee slips in. So he spits it out and within 10 minutes he starts walking super slow and panting with this like "zooming" look in his eyes, it was scary. I was picturing it panning out kinda like a mild version of Old Yeller, butttt it didnt and I was just being dramatic. Who knows what Argentine bees are like... Anyway, we took him to the emergency vet- they gave him a shot and he was better. Thats the bee story.

Saturday we celebrated María's birthday. Bryan was in the kitchen almost all day cooking, he says its relaxing. When I go in to try and help when he's cooking, it just causes chaos, so I stay out. I spent Saturday in my pijamas "exploring", well discovering music on the internet since I can't download songs anymore. Limewire destroyed my Mac.. FYI in case you have a Mac.

http://kitsunenoir.com/blog/mixtapes/ This is a cool website to get kinda "free" music off of. Remember when everyone would record different songs from the radio onto cassette tapes... its kinda like that but online. This guy makes mixes that include anything from tiny french bands you've never heard of to songs by Bjork. Super cool.

Anyway, back to Saturday, María and Felipe came over for dinner. Bryan made up a recipe for eggplant lasagna and it was so so good! So much better with eggplant than noodles. Then we took a celebration shot of Absinthe. The taste isn't bad just strong, it feels like your soul is on fire. Yikes. And then your body temperature seems to rise 3º. When we went to Mendoza we bought it from a little man who makes liquor and chocolates in his kitchen.. its not as sketchy as it sounds. The Absinthe comes out on fun ocassions :) I feel like my spelling has gone to shit since I'm always surrounded by spanish. So weird.

After dinner, we had people over and then we went to this new bar "Going." María knew one of the guys and he reserved part of the top floor for her. It was so fun! I danced danced danced from 12am until 5am I think. Zero rhythm but so much fun! And at 3am they threw out neon necklaces to the crowd and made the club dark so all you saw was a sea of neon-colored fireflies.

haha and this is whats cool in Latin America right now... This song came on and everyone started doing the dance! Like when the Macarena was popular..

Very fun. So far, I really like living in Buenos Aires, it feels like home now. School is going good. I start "real" school on the 28th and this class Im taking now ends next week. One down 16 to go :)

.... anddd, last but not least... HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY SMORGSSSS!! Have so much fun tonight sweet girl (at midnight) and tomorrow on your actual birthday! Love you :)
