belly buttons and such

1/24/08

I have two more annoying bus driver habits to add to my previous list. One is looking down at your cell phone to dial while going around a blind corner (with the aforementioned 1,000 ft drop off and no barrier), and two is changing drivers while the bus is moving. The bus driver actually stood up, stepped to the side, and then waited for the other driver to slide into the seat while the bus was cruising along driverless at about 40 mph. Not only that but the two bafoons congratulated themselves with cheeky grins when the maneuver was finished as if they couldn’t believe they had done it themselves!
I also have my favorite church name: La Iglesia de la Senora Terremoto. Basically the Blessed Church of the Lady Earthquake.

Joined Denise for a trip out of town to check out some locations for a future retreat. We passed through Banos again, but the volcano was still obscured by fog and smoke. Locals report that she’s blowing more ash and that they can see fire coming from her mouth at night.

This evening I joined a group called “Spotlight”. This is a program put on by HCJB to help people learn to speak English. They play an audio CD with someone speaking v e r y s l o w l y on a certain topic and then discuss it in English. Tonight’s topic was all about belly-buttons. Try to explain the difference between an “innie” and an “outie” in English. Who thinks up these topics anyways??
