So, some things only happen to me. Really. This was truly an epic one.

I went to my cousin's birthday barbecue on Sunday. It started in the early afternoon and lasted until about midnight, when I left. I talked to all my cousin's friends, and one of them seemed vaguely interested. But I've been known to be wrong about those things and, well, it was ( Read more... )

I am sick of working on this school shooting story - you know, the guy who killed 12 kids in a public school in Rio last week? The cops keep finding notes and videos that this sick bastard did, in which he blames bullies for his actions, says people took advantage of his goodness.

Working on a story on the Rio school massacre that happened this morning.

Sometimes I fucking hate the world. i read the asshole's letter, it's fucking disgusting. I won't even link for those who read Portuguesew because quite frankly it's hideous. He keeps spouting this religious rhetoric about how no fornicators are allowed to touch his body ( Read more... )

So, this week started in a rather shitty manner. First because our hamster Ludovico died last weekend. Also, I had a lot of papers to turn in at college, and a ton of work which I wasn't managing to do, so I wasn't really sleeping very well. And then Wednesday happened, and if you follow international news, you might be aware that the situation in ( Read more... )

Just had a full-blown fight with my brother over money. Thing is, we pay for the cable TV together, half-half. then, three months ago, he lost his job, so I'm paying for it alone. Along with the light bill, the gas bill, and whatever needs to be paid - the dog food, the vet, the cab back from the supermarket, whatever medicine anyone needs in this ( Read more... )

Like Mama says, we've gotta learn to share our toys and let other play with the ball sometimes... better lose in South Africa than lose at home like in 1950.

Good luck to Netherlands. Let's see if you can finally stop dying at the last moment...
