As I was driving home last night in the rain from the Latin America Fiesta sponsored by Spanish Club, it occurred to me that I've made 3 extra trips between home and school this week. Generally, I'm exceedingly good at conserving and multitasking my goings out in my car so as to save fuel, but this week meetings etc fell in such a way as to make it quite impossible to waste less than 3 gallons of gas.
And, the unfortunate coincidence of it is that of course, all this extra driving has occurred in the same week as the highest gas price spike since Katrina. I really know how to plan these things, don't I? Grrr. Ah, well. Can't be helped. I had to go to the fiesta last night (which was so much fun, by the way) because they announced the winners of Spanish Club elections, for which I ran for secretary. I won (it was an uncontested race... go figure.).
Anyhoo, in other news, I was listening to NPR this morning, and they were interviewing Sergio Mendez and Wil IM of the Black Eyed Peas about his redux of classic Sergio bossa nova songs. It didn't make me want to buy the album--although I did enjoy the interview. Instead, I pulled out the original Austin Powers soundtrack which contains one famous Sergio Mendez song (the only one i have in my collection as yet), "Mas Que Nada." Now the CD has moved on to other songs, and at the moment the 'classic' "I Touch Myself" performed by the Divinyls is playing.
...Yeah. It's that kind of a day, I guess.
Still raining in Louisville, and I'm loving it. Can't get too much rain, I say. Quizás I ought to move to Seattle? No. I don't think I'm that big a fan. In any case, the rain has blown all the blossoms on our dogwoods, just as I acquired some new prayer flags to hang from them after my others were stolen in March. Go Republican Catholic neighborhood! I do so love religious hate crimes. But, as the Buddha would say, "Whatev. Stuff happens."
Hasta luego, y'all. ¡Diviértense! Los amo a todos de ellos. :)
