Buenos Dias, chirrens.
I'm posting on the road! Amazing that wireless access has made it to the hinterland that is Buffalo, NY, I know, but I'm sitting here in a cafe, drinking a macchiato and writing to youse. Yes, youse. I think today will be a random list, my favorite form of posting!
1. Bioletta is in town, singing a gig with the local orchestra. She reminds me, as do you all, that I have been fortunate enough to meet great people everywhere I've ever gone in my life. Okay, actually, Rochester has so far proven me wrong, but that's more a function of my hermitude, non? (No- not that kind of hermitude!)
2. Whenever I hang with either Bioletta, or Lerla, we get to having fun with Spanish accents and words. When you mix the three of us together, it becomes a hot latin mess. Let me give you a short list of English words that have been appropriated into PR Spanish, with great comedic effect, I think:
- el pleigroun
- el wikén
- lonche (turn this into a verb, you say? OK- lonchear)
- un sandwich (better heard than seen, better eaten than heard, but only by a little bit)
- jenguear/jengueando (if you can decipher this, you get ethcra bonus points. Think That 70s Show. Please submit all entries to the comments section.)
3. While I'm making lists of PR fun shit, here are some nicknames of PRs that I've known:
- Wampa
- Choo-Choo
- Memo
- Wi
- Lole (short for Dolores, and a good nickname I think)
- Turkey (he was half Mexican, though, so I'm not sure if this counts)
- Sibiliqui (this were the syllables she uttered when speaking tongues- I'm dead serious)
4. Last night after the great performance, Bioletta was accosted by a drunken mess of a fan/board member. This lady felt like unloading what was years of personal baggage onto poor Bioletta's lap when clearly priority #1 was getting our grub on. Friggin Stans!
5. My boots are amazing, and still messing up my shins, but less so. If I do say so myself, the entire effect is quite thrilling.
Alright- that's it for now, but we'll be sure to catch up soon. Here's to new boots for all!

Wepa, I keep thinking of more funny PRs I know, including Laly, Wandy and Chago.
Hey! I spoke Spanish to a little boy at the Goodwill on Saturday! He was holding a plastic bag filled with identical plastic penguins. I said to him, "Como se dice?" and his Mom answered "Penguinos" (?) and I replied, "Muchos penguinos!"
I hope you're hanging out with lots 'o peeps in the 'Lo!
Boots for everyone indeed!!! Those are some sexy kicks my PR friend. What's your PR nickname???
Okay- just saw these:
Wendell- I've been channeling you lately. Muchos squirrelos.
Chandler- I wasn't ever cool enough to have a nickname. I think I'm a better person for it, in the end.
