Pre-Lent Prep.






i learned something new about spanish culture. apparently in the few days before Lent, the spanish people go CRRAAZY because they won't be able to for forty days. so it appears to me, they have 5 days of continuous sinning in preparation for the holiness they have to endure during the Lent season. they host a number of ongoing parties and they dress up crazily (i met some spanish cowboys and indians last night. that was a trip) and they drink and the whole lot (granted, the first night is the most intense, but it really does last longer than that). i thought Mardi Gras was nuts, but they devote 5 days to mardi gras-type activity.

meanwhile, but not consequently, i've had an excruciating headache for the last few days, for which i've been unable to find a cause or a cure. blood vessels have actually burst in my left eye, so that it looks like my eyes are bleeding. then cassidy and i started talking about The Lost Boys (80s vampire movie) and just talking about it made me feel more like a bad-ace vampire with bloody eyes than a crazy woman having an unending stroke. Thanks cass.

Superbowl tonight! Go Giants! i'm exciting to explain american football to all my international friends tonight. we're hitting up an irish pub at midnight to go be some crazy american football fans for a couple hours. i love my friends. :)

happy sabbath erbody.
