Oh, dammit. You know what I just realized? My DS's top screen is all scratched. Great.
This is what I get for being nice.
I let Alize and some other distant relation whose name I can't remember right now play with my DS. When Betty's daughter Sandy came over she started using it. Alize took the stylus from my DS to use with hers. So Sandy used my Mario Bros. game card as a stylus.
That pissed me off because I told Ali twice to let her use my stylus and because she left fingernail indentations all over the label. (omfg)
I come back a third time and Ali is once again using my stylus. What is Sandy using as a stylus on my DS? A fucking screw.
I tell Ali again to let her use the stylus 'cause I don't want her to screw up (I know) my screen.
Anyshit, when I get it back I'm pleased to find out my bottom screen is totally scratch-free. It's not until a few days later that I realize it's the top screen that's all jacked up.
I'm never letting anyone under the age of 15 anywhere near my DS again.
Poor thing's on its last legs. I need to upgrade soon. Rat bastards discontinued the white Lites, though. Argh!
As the World Turns is being canceled? What the crap? I was just about to start watching that again. How the hell am I supposed to find out whether Noah recovers from Boyfriends' Disease or not?
Was Diego Gonzalez on an episode of that Zeke and Luther show? I am seriously flipping about this. I would love nothing more than to see Diego on American TV, not just that one Miranda Cosgrove video.
He posted some pictures of himself with some of the cast of the show so I'm assuming so. This is awesome. But how odd for him to go from being a Mexican pop star to having absolutely nobody know who you are in the states and starting over as a Disney kid.
Serge wants more Diego. Make it happen, Disney.
Apparently I'm not the only one. Some kid commented and mentioned he was IN LOVE WITH DIEGO AND WANTED TO SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH HIM.
Caps and everything.
WORLD CUP SORTING, EVERYONE!! I am so excited!
Has anyone seen the World Cup's mascot? Ooh, I want one of those plushies!
The opening match is going to be between the host nation of South Africa and Mexico. Wuh!
And the US's first match is against England. That is going to be an incredibly fun game to watch.
Random fun, during the sorting I learned Algeria is called Argelia (ar-HEL-ia) in Spanish.
Also, I was pleased that the Spanish broadcast ignored Ivory Coast's insistence on, "No. Our name is Cote D'Ivoire and that's what you have to call us no matter what language you speak."
Nope. Costa de Marfíl, bitches.
WINTER OLYMPICS IN A FEW MONTHS, EVERYONE!! I am so excited about that, too!
I've got my Team USA scarf the '06 winter games to wear around my neck after screaming myself hoarse rooting for Team USA. It's going to be lonely without Jilly to get all geeky and inappropriate over men's figure skating with, but that's okay. I still have speed skating and luge and bobsledding and skiing and snowboarding and curling.
I wish we had events like, ice fencing. And ice swimming. Like you wouldn't watch that.
Call me a sap if you feel you have to, but I always get emotional and easily excited come World Cup/Olympics season. Very few things affirm my faith in mankind like these two global events. It's all about our capacity for good and not how good we are at wrecking shit. For a few weeks, there's no war or famine or any of that nastybad stuff in the world. At least, it's easier to pretend there isn't (ooh I'm bad) and everyone can stop fighting and just be friends. And play together! Fucking yay!
Just wait until the next Summer games until I say all this shit again.
And so what if the host nations love to show off? It doesn't keep the opening/closing ceremonies from moving me to tears. And when the athletes shake hands and trade things with each other, like jerseys, hats, scarves, and jackets? Well, I die a little inside.
In a good way.
Anyway, I'm gonna go cry now.
They're coming, dammit!!
Sad news for nobody to care about, but Niños Ricos is officially in its final weeks. I was right to panic a few weeks ago, so Iván can suck it.
I won't make the rest of you sit through more of me babbling about telenovela shenanigans.
Santi can walk again! Sort of! This is a telenovela, after all.
Not long after his surgery he told Diego he might be imagining it, but he thought he could feel some tingling in his legs.
Fast forward to his welcome home party when Santi blows everyone's minds by shakily standing up under his own power and supporting his weight on some crutches.
Problem solved! Elapsed time...uh, like a week. I think.
Something else that would interest you, Lesbian Girl Laura and Anaís helped Isa get ready for her wedding. Anaís gives her something blue, and Laura says she'd better be sure to get that back afterwards 'cause she and Anaís might end up on the altar someday. Anaís's face is horrorstruck but everyone else has a good laugh.
Wuh.
It's amusing to me how Lesbian Girl Laura is allowed to fly under the radar, and gets to do things like have sex and make light of gay marriage, whereas the series' flagship gay couple doesn't get half as much wiggle room. They've never even acknowledged to each other that they're boyfriends. The word boyfriend has only come up in third party conversations, even. Maybe lesbians are less threatening to the Latin American psyche somehow?
Oh, and as of last week, Diego remains the very last kid not to have had sex during the course of the show. Miguel finally did the nasty with Esteban's mom. Iván said that Miguel is always kind of shy and in the background until he gets all flirty. To which I said, he just looks shy. Up until he whips his dick out and goes, "Yeah. That's what's up."
If Santi and Diego ever have sex I'm sure cameras won't be within 500 feet of it. I'm sure it will just be implied. If that.
It's possible that their relationship will stay firmly in the "manitas sudadas" phase. That roughly means "sweaty li'l hands" and is the Spanish-language equivalent for "puppy love" and all the implied cuteness therein. They're allowed to be gay, and they're allowed to be together, but they might not be allowed to have sex so as not to further freak out the normals. Also, and I never get tired of saying this: Diego is a good boy.
After weeks of thinking to myself, "Oh, crap. Am I getting sick?" I got sick. It only lasted a few days, though, and it didn't hit me too hard. Awesome.
I was like, "Fuck you, cold!" And I punched it right in the face. It was left with nowhere to go but the fuck out.
Poor Iván. Just as I'm coming down, he gets sick. I may have infected him via text message.
So sorry.
Chava and I had a little disagreement over Barbara Walters's 10 Most Interesting People of 2009. Namely, I didn't see what was so interesting about Michelle Obama. He got all offended that I thought Adam Lambert should have been higher up on the list. Making out with a guy and simulating oral sex on stage to the chagrin of everyone is incredibly interesting. He was all, "You wanted that thing? I think Michelle is an inspired choice. I heart Michelle!"
So I was all, "Well I heart dude kissing and simulated oral making America uncomfortable. Have at you, sir!"
No, instead he roots for, "I watch food and design shows with my dog."
That's not very interesting. But at least number one wasn't Sarah Palin.
I actually dislike her more and more each time I see her on television. It's uncanny.
It would be great if somebody plastered all her windows with images from Levi Johnston's Playgirl shoot.
Hell, I'd do it if I lived in Alaska.
Where's my retard baby?
¡Pásatelas super duuuper!
The other day I was so desperate for a beer I snuck into the football stadium and sucked the dirt under the bleachers
No longer contagious
