dia 2

Hoy hice las páginas matutinas. Paso a paso. No esforzé como me debiera en la oficina. Llegué muy tarde. Manyana será mejor.

Beginning

A humble beginning to reinventing myself. Today I did my morning pages in the afternoon. It's absurd to me that ai actually have to make an appointment to see myself, but it was difficult once I sat down to keep the time focused on me and not some other mundane task that needed to be done. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Blackberry

My second day in DC. I spent the day almost obsessively watching movies on TV - some film about an Alan Dershowitz case and Die Hard. Even as I write this I'm watching some silly Kirk Douglas flick.

I went to a wonderful party in Petsville. Dancing, food, drink. I had this vodka that tasted like ice tea (típico de la región) filtered through a block of ice, or ice luging.

I feel like every conversation I have is awkward and forced. I must be tired.

Trophy Wife

Saw a great French film tonight.

Trophy Wife


Typical French comedy:
everyone sleeps with everyone
there's a song at the end

No começo do filme a esposa do título apoia o status quo de sua vida. Da um corrida level cada manhã, escreve poemas, tolera seu esposo irritável... porem ela justifica

à medida do filme ela se transforma...

O troféu "sai da prateleira" como disse um personagem.

Eu tambem quero sair da prateleira.... Como é que eu faço???

Jammin....

Just played with a friend. It felt so good to touch those keys. My ear has DEFINITELY improved since taking singing lessons in Korea - especially in an unwritten oral tradition!

I talked to an old friend today. It was a little painful again.

Tomorrow morning I have to cover a Petrobras event. I don't really know why they're sending me. It'll be fun anyway, but I never seem to break news faster than the local news agency.

It's all a learning experience.

Just like when sources don't call me back.....


É natural
Cara.
Se eu gostar de você
Te ligarei.
Embora eu seja
Exquisito,
É so porque eu gosto tanto de
Você.


아이고오오오오오
오늘 친구랑 통화했는데 한국어실력이 얼마나 약했는지!
한국에서 2년동안 살아 언어를 배우는걸을 발휘하지 못 했다 ~.~

오늘의 한자는
악자
樂
음악이나 즐긴다는 뜻인것 같아.... :)

Sem esforço, não há ganho

Today I ate some pernil for the first time..... I think it was pork.
A guy also shined my shoes. He only charged 4 reais, but I gave him 5
--Oh how they shine!
Now it's time to clean my room, go the gym, and maybe listen to a little of what I taped about real investment funds before settling down to a good night's rest.

I spoke to one of my best friends in the world today. Things are going great for him: he's starting his own business, successfully trying out a new diet (not losing weight, just gaining energy), and as usual excelling at his art.

Me, I'm living in one of the most awesome countries in the world, going out more than I ever have frankly, learning new languages, and interning at a prestigious news service.

I felt awful after are conversation. I hope it's just lack of sleep.

오늘의 한자는
忍
뜻: 참다
This is the character used in the word ninja. A knife cutting into a heart, it reminds us that to achieve great things we must bear suffering.
