boots can't help me now

Hola, mi querida.

Dora was thrilled to be out of the big storage bin - ah, the fresh air! Ah, this world of white!



But then.... What were they going to do? ¿Qué está sucediendo? - What is happening?

¡Hola! Mis amigos, necesitamos hablar... Dora tried again, realizing that her hard plastic lips weren't actually talking and that the screaming was all in her head.


But by then, it was too late. Whirling around the yard, steadily dizzier and her skin prickling from the unaccustomed cold, all Dora could think was...
Mierda. Espero que uno de ellos me consiga un suéter.*




*Shit. I hope one of them gets me a sweater.

My kids LOVE Dora, my 4 year old son included. I don't mind her myself, although the tv shows all have the same darn formula, so they get boring after awhile...

Donde aprendiste tu espanol?

Oh you're sweet! Nope, just some lovely AltaVista Babel Fish translation.

I can barely order lunch in Spanish.

Whole lot of nothing going on

Last week, I got covid. For the third time, and this one was unpleasant in ways that I don't really want to talk about. (Life tip: NO ...
