It's one of those lovely spring days when I want to be barefoot in the grass. Unfortunately, Mexico City is mostly hostile toward barefoot enthusiasts and grass lovers. Sigh.
I cut a pair of jeans to make myself some shorts, pulled out the pair of sandals that I brought from Kentucky, and planned to go hang out and the dreaded "Ah es que ya no voy a poder" (Ah I'm not going to be able to) presented itself again. I hate cancelled plans. It really gets my blood boiling.
In other news, I am about to get a bunch of new classes. This is definitely something to be happy about.
This weekend I worked at my roommate's restaurant. He let me try "Mexican caviar" (escamoles...for those of you who know what I'm talking about). These are none other than ant eggs. They're prepared in like butter and garlic (I think) and served in tacos. I tried one, and though it was mostly edible, I began to realize that anything (including a pile of poo) might taste good if you mix it with the right ingredients.
The restaurant job was stressful, but also fun. Until my new classes start, I'll probably be working there a bit to keep myself sustained.
Other than that, I'm a very tired young man today. It has been a day that has both exceeded my expectations and disappointed me. Oh well, I've still got a smile on.
In fact, this song, which was popular when I first got here, has got me smiling again. Enjoy.
Love, always,
-Buster
Stupid video wouldn't center. Oh well...
