Spanishness Weekend

I've spent the weekend so far in bed, what with the being sick. I'm hoping I'll be well in time to enjoy some of it.

"Interesting" things:

1. It rained yesterday. That meant practice was canceled. This proves that I am, indeed, in a different country.

2. I made a soup today. It includes onions, leeks, potatoes, and zucchini. The only color in it was the skin on the zucchini. Nevertheless, it was tasty.

3. As I write this, I found out that my friend GUI or "Pastor Gurath", as people are calling him now, has malaria. He's still preaching with the parasitic buddies inside him, so that's a good sign. If you're the praying type, please pray for him (and everyone else with malaria and everyone working on the cure, which I hear from SciFri is coming).

4. Tuesday, there's evidently a military parade in town for Spanishness Day. I don't know what time it is, but I have a location, so that's helpful. Evidently they bust out all the planes and tanks and whatever else and roll them down the street. I'll take pictures if I can figure out when it is.

And that's all I've got. Exciting times in my apartment.
