Adventures in Peru

it is one day before halloween, and most of the town is taking it quite. halloween is a bigger day here than i ever imagined. all that said, i started drinking with lunch. for dinner i had an amazing irish stew, cooked by some irish. the meat was chewy, but the flavor was exquisite.
went to bar seven, a notorios coke bar. i did not partake in any coke, but it lead to an interesting conversation with an austalian guy and an irish girl. needless to say i hit it off with the irish gal. whats not to like about a drunk irish gal that isn’t doing free coke? she likes a scottish guy, and i am happy for her. i am more happy for ME. she gave me a pear of ROUND goggles. i have been on the prowl for round goggles since i got me scooter in 200x. never found them. tonight i am at this bar with irish and some other people and she finds ROUND goggles sitting on the counter. i beg her to have them. it is almost a life goal to own a pair.
all i need to do is dance with her to get the goggles.
dancing with a pretty irish gal isn’t hard to do, even for someone who doesn’t enjoy dancing. add a free pair of ROUND goggles to the mix and you could get me to dance on stage. in fact i did dance on stage. i haven’t danced on a stage since i was in china, that time it only took a hot edmonton girl.
i am going to be so stylish in my new googles, riding around on my scooter. i will single-handedly bring the mod back. (in many ways it should have never left.)

i do not know what normal writing from the early to mid 1800s was like, but it was to be better than the book of mormon. on chapter five of the first book and i have read wherefore, therefore, yea, and it came to pass dozens of times each. on top of that to discribe ‘outside’ walls the term ‘without’ walls is used. that sounds like a plausible opposite to within city walls, but has it ever been?
next, and this one happens frequently, using ‘would’ as the past tense of ‘will?’ and ‘will?’. ‘would’ is the past tense of ‘will?’ as ‘i would have gone if i knew.’ but ‘will?’ should have the past tense willed. sentences like ‘wherefore, god spake it, yea, and i, nephi, did it because god would it upon me.’ is not correct. god willed it upon you.
point 3. even if this book was grammatically correct in 1850, it needs to be updated. an update would not change the meaning, but allow a smooth reading, and people ‘willed’ not need to question what a word means. i do enough conjugation in school, i should not need to unconjugated and reconjugate word to understand the reading.

i thought i was going to cry tonight.
dirty old town.
new years.
many other nights.
gals, i love you.

last night was one to remember. (aside from the 2.5 litre screwdriver.)

i traded my book ‘fever pitch’ for ‘the god delusion.’ i read the 2 forwards, it should be a good read. i really liked how the author repetedly stayed that there are no such thing as christen children, or muslim children. only children of christen or muslim parents. he stated that one of his goals in writing the book was to make it just as taboo to say a child is chistian as feminist made it taboo to call them sugar at work.

THEN i found the book of mormon. i have been really interested in reading it for some time. at one point i owned a copy, but i have no idea what happened to it. that is not important. i read the begining of it. so far so good. joseph smith, what a guy. i really like the part about finding gold plates, enough of them to contain enough words to fill a 600 page book. and he couldn’t show them to anyone. that was the rule of moroni, the son of mormon. then he was told to show it to 11 people, and they wrote a blurb about how they saw it. that is all the proof i need, they must be real. he also translated them into english without knowing the language that they had been written in.

and there was a toga party. drinking in the hostel is expensive, so did a little pre-drinking. i purchased a 26 of vodka and 1 litre orange juice. -i just got a free bowl of asperigus soup.- mixed the oj and vodka in a 2.5 litre water bottle, topped off with water, and headed out. i was also really generous, i did not want to drink it all my self. i shared it with the utah girls (the understand the book of mormon.) at least 2 of the 5 girls are hair stylist. i used to hate that stylist personality. now it was quite refreshing. the only thing that was missing was ‘guitar hero’.

we all went to a club, i think it was called caos. it reminds me why i hate clubing so much. even when i am drunk enough to dance it gets boring after 5 minutes. the music usually sucks, ymca exempt.

i do not know what time i left the club. everyone was heading off to another place, i was done with clubs. you just can not talk. on my drunken way home, still in a toga, i ran met some pushy peruvians. they really wanted me to join them for a beer. well, as they would same come for a beer, just one, two. it was easier to speak spanish in that state of mind. i stopped thinking and just spoke. i wasn’t worried about pronounciation or conjugation or structure. i made it home and fell fast asleep.

the internet says that the canadian dollar has surpased the great american dollar. is that the housing market crash, the war on iraq, or http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/workplace-safety/asbestos.html

school is getting more complicated. the use of verbos reflexivos, o recipricos. alone with personal pronouns. it is a little diffent to english. we stick the it/to her/for him/at you after a verb, in spanish it all goes before. Nos lo peleamos = we fight eachother about it. se bebo = i kiss her. english is quite the wordy language.

i was told that there was a bay watch party at the hostel tonight. i even saw it writen on the spiecials board (at 2pm.) the party was cancelled, nobody told me. i showed up in nothing but a towel.

not everyone looked as amused as me. i wish i could make an entrance like this everyday.
