i slept in today to get rid of my cold and spent the morning reinstalling everything on mi computadora porque it did not survive the flight unscathed. luckily i backed everything up. i set it up in spanish though, to make myself think in spanish, work in spanish, chat in spanish. i will be fluent soon. i guarantee it. it's incredible how much has come back to me already. it's been like 7 years since i took two years of it in college.

so i set everything up to install and then went to mamitas beach club which is a few minutes down the beach from my beach and just a giant clusterfuck of tequila, americans and bad house music chased by a few well-paid mexican "hosts" trying to entice the ladies to take off their bikini tops. i sat and read american gods by neil gaiman and hopped in the water twice, the first time i've gotten in since i got to mexico. it's been cloudy and today it was hot, and i got some color and now i look like a raccoon because i was wearing my gucci sunnies all day, but i figure, when you have gucci sunnies, you must wear them to make every cent worthwhile. as i ran back in from swimming the first time, my cell was ringing and it was becky wanting to tell me how much she loves the movie superbad, again. i told her i was sitting on the beach watching all the hot men romp in speedos and low-hanging board shorts, hung up, went for another swim and then walked home.

i had to go to office depot today to buy a computer chair because the one i had was fucking up my back sitting there so long. the cabs are so cheap. 2 bucks each way and it was a 10 minute ride each way. i had to put the chair together with a butter knife because i don't have any screwdrivers yet. whoops. it worked anyway. and the chair is pretty sweet. i can sit cross-legged on it, and that's all that matters.

after dinner i headed over to bobby's where he, henniger and their local friend roberto were pre-drinking for a night out at the clubs. i had a fresca and sat with bobby, henniger and roberto while they drank. roberto was hilarious, just mumbling nonsense incessantly and bobby just keeps saying, "bert, you're talking again" in a cautionary voice. hilarious.

so now i am home and sober and sick and typing, and cursing mozzies, i have eleven mozzy bites. my allergic reaction has ceased, my skin is healing and now i am covered in mozzy bites? i can't win. it's 3am and i can't sleep for the itchiness. fhgwgads.
