loose in the translation

for almost half a year, i haven't taken a bath:

"looks like you slept in josephine."
"good morning glen. nope, i just took a lazy bath."
"a bath? in the morning?"
"yup. why not?"
"one usually takes bath at night. you don't mean a shower do you?"
"a shower is a bath, isn't it?"
"a bath is when you soak in the tub."
"we don't have a tub at our place."
"you took a lazy shower josephine."
"ok then, i took a lazy shower, glen."

rafa is the reason i watch men's tennis:

interviewer: "there's a lot of interest in your new outfits. some of your fans on the websites don't seem to like them too much, your clothes."
rafa: "what happened? the fans didn't like?"
interviewer: "some of them don't."
rafa: "sorry (laughs). i don't know. no, i am feeling ok. for sure, when you have a change, some people like other people don't like. for sure with the sleeveless, not everybody like the sleeveless. right now gonna be the same, no? but anyway, is a change. but i feel good like this. important thing in the end is not the clothes; is the ball and racket and play well."

rooting for you rafa! may you win the open.

keep walking

i am not the type who obeys rules to the letter. i usually cheat pedestrian traffic lights. until 3 weeks ago when i noticed that kids had seen me cross on a red light.
i owe them my obedience.

this is not very easy to do. i know it is perfectly safe, as traffic lights for cars are not perfectly synchronized with those for pedestrians. and crossing the same street every work day results to familiarity that gives one the confidence to cross safely. but no matter the logic behind it, i am breaking the rules. and that makes it harder for me to teach the younger generation to obey them.

so i start now.

currently wondering about the last time i made new year's resolutions. first year college maybe or the second. then stopped when i realized i am not very good with lists.

may you have a great one.
