To be honest I'm quite worried about the influenza outbreak in Mexico City - apparently there hasn't been any (or that many, in any case) cases outside the capital, and just a couple of relatives are there, but still, it's gotten so BIG now, wow, it's all over the news in here... Classes have been suspended until May 6 (!) and I just got an e-mail from Uni in Guadalajara saying classes were suspended monday and tuesday. Woah. My mom says it's crazy over there, that everyone's saying not to shake hands with anyone or say hi with a kiss or pretty much go out at all, although of course that's mostly just in the DF, not in province - yet.
Ergh. It's sort of weird, really, not being there while everything's going down... And yet there's a bit of relief, at the same time? I do hope it'll die down soon, though.
In a less disturbing and shallow note, we saw State of Play yesterday, the US bastardization, and I have to say it wasn't half bad, although it was doomed from the start not to reach the incredibly shiny levels of the UK version. Ben Affleck was especially wooden and boring in this, and the movie wasn't nearly as intense, intimate and emotional as the series. Ah well. I got to wear my new lovely skirt and white high heels, though, I felt so pretty, lol, and Robin actually wore a dress shirt, I should've taken photo evidence that it actually happened, haha. I'm so tired, though, it's so hard to actually fit the two of us in our tiny tiny beds...
