Woo Hoo, well it's day 3 of my 4 day weekend for Carnival. Pretty much all of South America is like this, taking a long weekend for Carnival, but here is the funny part.
Uruguay had all of it's Carnival festivities at the beginning of the month, the big party right now is in Rio. So basically it's a national holiday to go party in Rio and everyone here will tell you so.
For me, I'm watching streaming movies on the internet. I'm not into the whole downloading movies thing, but I wonder if it wouldn't be faster sometimes then waiting for the movie to buffer.

Blah day
Rain rain and more rain! Went to church this morning and my walk to to both the bus stop and church was in the pouring rain. Thankfully I didn't wait long at all at the first bus stop and when I walked the to second bus stop the express bus was just pulling up, this made my day. See there are two buses I can take to Carassco, one being the 104 bus which makes plenty of stops along the way. Could be hard plastic seats or possibly a newer bus with upholstered seats. But, there is an express bus which costs only 5 pesos more (Around a nickel) and it's more like a tour bus with nice reclining seats and makes no stops along the way, the choice is clear! Unfortunately I can't figure out how to take that bus back.
On my way home my wait for the bus was much longer as the buses don't run as frequently on Sundays. When the first bus dropped me off at the second bus stop I was whipped by the winds and rain along the rambla. I was very happy when the bus arrived and I finally made it home.
Not ashamed to admit I took a nap after all of that, LOL.
Watched Valkyrie with Tom Cruise http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0985699/maindetails
Not to bad a movie.

Book Corner - Finished Reading
I know, it's about time!
The Agenda - Inside the Clinton White House

I only read this because I had liked the other Bob Woodward book I read and thought this one would be interesting, but sadly it bored me to tears. I had to force myself to finish reading it.
The Road
Paperback 287 pages
Cormac McCarthy
Apparently this is going to be a movie this year. I read this in two days, but mostly because I was bored.
