Working hard

I spent most of the last 3 weeks working long days at the office of a client in downtown Buenos Aires, but that's finally over. It was very stressful at times, but overall it was a good opportunity to practice my Spanish. The guys I worked with turned out to be cool.

New definition of "gross": Last night when I got home there was fresh vomit in front of my apartment building. No, that's not the gross part. This afternoon when I got home from a movie, there were a bunch of pigeons in front of my apartment, and they were feasting on the dried puke. Yuck.

Speaking of bad taste, the movie I saw was truly one of the worst I have ever seen. Any comedy that has to resort to a 70 year old man pulling down his pants in front of his daughter really needs help. There were a few funny moments, but the rest was really bad.

I saw the new Pirates of the Carribean movie over the weekend, and it was definitely worth seeing. I saw it in Spanish so I missed a some of the dialog, but still a fun movie.
