A great weekend and a week of damage control. Good thing my weekends are only one day. I have a lot of repairs to do.

“Albedo” is a new track from Boston’s Coyote Kolb off their upcoming 2nd album United State, our 1/28. Albedo follows the dusty boots, dirty blues rock style that made me enjoy their previous effort Massachusett so much.
We in town can look forward to the cd release party Saturday the 28th with Boston’s Tallahassee and Larcenist.

OK well the cd release party already happened, but I wanted to have a pic of my favorite gentlemen on my blog. They killed it last Saturday at Spontaneous Celebrations in JP, which happens to be the most interesting venue I’ve seen in Boston.
I want to go to a Rodin inspired ballet. Hell, I want to dance in a Rodin inspired ballet, but that will be a long time coming.
Little note to Rodin: Stop making Canova sound so boring in my paper. Not everyone can have such visually interesting sculptures and a beautiful sculpture garden in Paris where Marjo and Austin and I played tag.
I am sitting in my living room with a panoramic view of Boston and Cambridge, drinking coffee. After going downstairs for Ballet, I am going to my Latin America Capstone where Robert E. White is giving a talk about his years as Ambassador to El Salvador. I can safely say this is what I want to do when I grow up. #thanksBUforgivingmeunrealisticexpectations
I just saw her at the House of Blues. Jealous? She was astoundingly energetic and freakishly beautiful. Plain Gold Ring was unforgettable, although her head-banging, tambourine-playing self was rocking out most of the time. I definitely liked her disney princess mini dress better than her sequenced black dress. Still stunning, of course. She even heard the “wows” from the balcony.
You’ve got your reputation and your good intent <3
Big tumblr day for me. Big day for me in general. I usually avoid watching the news, documentaries, even sad movies because I feel too much sadness. I also feel helpless during a time when all I want to do is help. This video is worth watching for many reasons. There is no pretending that to catch one bad guy is to catch them all, but #1 is a good start. Especially when the formula is there. I still feel sad, but not helpless. I can at least share this video with you. Thank you for reading. Thank you even more for watching.
Alohalife led me to stumble upon this. I would like to stumble upon it in real life. I really miss tango. Due to an unfortunate (and awkward) misunderstanding I stopped studying, but I think it is almost time to give it another try. I wish I was taking Milonga and Vals at MIT this session. :(
Note: I am sooooo not a tango purist. I do like the classic stuff, but I love this. Don’t hate me!

Ahhhh, I miss my Ecua-diet! Bless this woman for her sharing her lovely Ecuadorian cuisine photos and recipes.
I wish I could make these like my Bellita. Yummmm. Remind me to buy some aji for my advisor. He thinks you can’t get it in B-town!
I want everyone to know about El Sistema. I am working on it. One acquaintance at a time.
