Well I'll be Darn Tootin'

I'm not actually sure if that's how the phrase goes. I'm not excellent when it comes to cliche's. As a matter of fact, it's part of my charm, butchering sayings. But I makes said remark because it has come to my attention that there is an international audience to my emails. All the way from across the pond, some good Irish kids are tuning in to find out about Jorge. That's huge! I miss my Irish buds and hope all is well in their world. I just sent one of them a postcard because she was one of the most important and memorable people I met overthere. Sweetheart like no other. And she liked me despite my uncoolness at times. She's a winner in my book.



Speaking of Ireland, Kate brought us down to this shop one day for a nice little afternoon snack after seeing the ruins in Cashel. That is where I learned my name in Irish. Good times, Kate, and Katy who was there with us, and for some reason I think there were more of us, but I can't remember who. Maybe one of the sis's. I recall tumbling down hills (in honor of Monica who made me do it once at Wash U), almost killing a small child who wanted to copy us, much to her parents discontent. Life is good when you got time and good friends. I miss ol' Eire. I miss my Kates. I don't miss overcast days nor random rain, but you got to take the good with the bad.

Well, Monica seems to be the only other person who reads this, assuming that Tito has already begun, let's shoutout to her. She's in the show shown above in the Performing Art Department of Wash U, her first PAD show to date. She's some crazy old lady who gets attacked on suspicions of witchcraft. According to my sources (Kathleen O'Malley) she has come full circle in her acting career, having played a similar character in the Crucible as a senior in high school. As I've never seen either, it's new to me.

I am fine. Procrastinating from the thesis stuff. The topic, so you know, has been refined to examining the comunidades eclesiasticas de base in Central America to identify secularization in the society and to analyze its tendencies (i.e. religious authority is pushed away? falls away? transfers? etc). I have tons of reading and writing still to do, so I'm really getting behind. Anyways, I'm out. Stay cool, kiddies in cyberspace.

Oh yeah, if you are a cyberspacer that stumbles upon this page and want to show me yours, I'm very weary of some links. If you include something in your comments that show me that you've actually looked at my site and aren't just copying and pasting a note to lead me to your spyware infested porn kingdom, I'd be more inclined to check your sites out.

Peace

Well, boys and girls, whoever still reads this site, which is probably just me right now, I will be writing a little more frequently from now on, at least once a week. Why? B/c now I know my brother in Peru can read this now and again and it's an easy way for him to see what's going on in my life and catch up with me. He can't write me, but c'est la vie. He probably will be able to in a year or so. Just thought I'd fill you all in. I wish I had downloaded some pictures from the break from my computer at home to my computer at school, but alas, I have not. Nevertheless, keep checking back here now and again to see what I'm up to, what the mood is, how far the thesis is coming along, etc.

And Happy New Year!
