Manifiesto: Download the mp3 Here's another of the Cuatro Estrellas Spanish covers. This one's by Victor Jara, about whom it's difficult to refer without thinking about the manner of his death.

Tú Dónde Estarás: Download the mp3 Late last year, I decided to indulge a whim, take a break from what I was doing, and spend some time recording some Spanish cover songs. The list was chiefly Latin American music that had influenced me one way or another, the common thread being that they had...
My schendule is all fucked up... I had to cut my class hours because apparently these bitches can't let me take digital photo because it doesn't have anything to do with my career. Fuck the system. I'm taking the second level of japanese again because that bald old man is the 3rd level teacher, and...
A THICK envelope arrived in the mail today. As soon as Mum told me, I raced to the study, took it off her desk and raced back to the lounge, only to discover that it was adressed 'To the Parents of Anita *****'. I will not open anybody's mail without their permission so I went back to pouring myself...
This is the story of the afternoon when I was accepted to Chile: I was sitting in my bedroom, on CS, when I heard the phone ring. I picked it up straight away, but my family's nanny had also picked up the phone on the kitchen. Her voice answered then phone, so I went to hang up my phone. But just...

Spent around $3 on lunch and gelato, wandered el centro a bit, and then went down to Las Condes to teach class. Um so Edson is a twenty-six year-old who loves anime. How awesome is that? We basically talked for an hour about anime. And cartoons. And Brazil's limited movie production industry. So...
Starbucks. Están en todas partes. Bueno, a veces no es una cosa mala. Tienen Wi-Fi, y por eso, cuando me pierdo solamente necesito encontrar un Starbucks. No obstante, los precios de Starbucks son locos. $4 USD por un latte, otro $4 por un sandwich. OMG LYKE WTF. Pero... tenía un propósito de...
Hoy me desperté a las once y miré Sweeney Todd con subtítulos en español. Almorcé--puré con carne de... pollo o un otro tipo de ave. Después, salí porque los museos aquí tienen entrada gratuita los domingos. Fui al museo chileno de los artes precolumbinos, pero no me permitieron a sacar...
Hoy la internet tuvo unos problemas, y por eso estuve muy aburrida. Trabajé mucho, ví una película con subtitulos en español, y después a las siete me eché en la cama, solamente escuchando a música y pensando. por primera vez, no tuve pensamientos extraños o inseguro del futuro, de mi lugar...
Enseñe mi primera clase de íngles hoy, con Edson. Creo que fue bien. Jaja, antes de la clase, tuve unos problemas encontrar el edifício [correct], y tuve que ir un Starbucks para usar Google Maps. Después, volví a casa y hablé un poco con Carlos y Ángela (y Ángela me enseño una palabra...
Work. Lots. Now. Also, I ran like ten blocks today before my ankle died. Improvement from yesterday's three.
Arturo, Carlos, y yo fuimos a los mercados Vega y Vega Chica. Después volví a la vinoteca... espero que no crean que soy una alcohólica, jaja. Cuando llegué en Recoleta, ya era después de la puesta del sol. Pero había más gente en las calle que durante el día. Walking tour of Santiago:...
So I've had this movie on my bookshelf for ages and I finally blocked out an afternoon to watch it. I really enjoyed it. It's dated, but also quite modern: 1982's Missing, with Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemmon. (Music by freakin' VANGELIS! Talk about dated!) The story is compelling (a young American...
De nuevo fuí al centro depués de clase hoy. Deseo que [first of all that I could use the subjunctive] todos de ustedes pudieron [? I am so confused] ver las cosas que veo. Caminé por la Plaza de Armas... y hoy hace calor, asi que saque la hoodie que usé, y un hombre cercano me dijo, "¿Hace...
So um Arturo y yo fuimos a Patagonia, un restaurante cerca de la Universidad Catolica, para almorzar. Tenemos vino--una copa de Carmenere para mi y una de Chardonnay para el. Aqui no como mucho por el horario--en las mañanas típicamente como pan con mermelada, una taza de té con leche, jugo, y...
Esta mañana fuí a Las Condes por Metro para juntarme con Felipe. Practicamos por mas o menos noventa minutos. Después, caminamos por "Sanhattan." Estuvo muy vacío--los calles también, porque los domingos siempre estan deshabitados. Ya no me gustan los domingos, y solamente he visto dos. 今天早上坐了捷運去Las...
