BAFICI 2008.
As (some of) you probably know, the Buenos Aires International Independent Film Festival starts next week. As friday marks my 21st birthday, you can probably understand why this is my favorite time of the year.
The tickets are ridiculously cheap and it's one of the few instances where being a student actually works to my advantage since we get a 30% discount.
Combine this with the fact that Marcia gave me a nice raise last week and has been graceful enough to give me four vacation days (thursday, friday, monday and tuesday) to enjoy the festival... well... I'm feeling pretty fucking good about things.
Last year's April was awesome as well and was followed by an awful fucking couple of months.
So I better be careful.
Anyway, about the festival,
just this morning I finished putting my schedule together.

I better run now. Gotta buy the tickets for the "Zoo" screening. It's a documentary about people who fuck horses!
