(Este post tendrá un poquito mas de sazón catracho…)
La semana pasada (viniendo de la parranda) me di cuenta que uno de mis jeans favoritos tenían una mancha como marrón en la rodilla. Pensé que fue que lo manche al sacar la basura. Así que espere casi una semana para acumular ropa y utilizar la lavadora. [...]

Time is such an important thing in the US. Not so here in Honduras. Appointments are mere suggestions and many businesses will not even make appointments because they know that most people won't show up at the appointed time anyway. Just show up and wait in line like everyone else. It's the Honduran way.To show you how corrupted I've become, unless I'm on my computer (and more on that further on) I currently have no idea what time it is or often even what day it is!El Jefe bought me a watch a couple of years ago. The battery went dead about six months later, and I've been carrying the thing around in my purse for

Leyendo el blog de Bruce Scheier vi un post donde muestra un link a la pagina de un "Hardcore Rapper" que reapea sobre Encriptación. Aquí esta las lyrics y si quieren la "rola" en MP3 hagan clic aquí. Me pregunto como sera la version reggaeton?No me pude resistir..aqui les va..Hacen un junte …

Bantam eggs compared to grocery store eggWe are finally getting some egg action out of our four hens. Conchita, the mama hen, spends half her life being broody − wanting to sit on eggs instead of deliver them − but the others have finally grown up enough to get started laying.These are bantam hens and their eggs are small, but these are even smaller than Conchita's. Conchita's egg is the larger one in the center. The white egg at the top is a large-size grocery store egg for comparison. I'm hoping that as the hens mature, the eggs will get just a little bigger.These eggs are delicious − more fla

I'm on vacation...sort of. I wasn't able to finish my last project before my vacation, so I decided to go ahead with my trip anyway, but put in 35 hours of work, just from a slightly more exotic location...

So any posting will probably be quite short for now.

En Honduras la Semana Santa es lo que llamamos la llegada del verano. Por todos lados veremos trajes de baños, camisetas playeras, toallas, hieleras, promociones cerveceras y centros turísticos abaratados. Personas corriendo por todos lados retirando dinero y haciendo compras de último momento. Sumándole a eso el excesivo precio y los accidentes de [...]

Me acabo de dar cuenta de algo: La Prensa, El Heraldo y La Tribuna no tienen ningún tipo de feed, ya sea RSS (1.0 o 2.0) o ATOM (Por cierto no mencione los otros, porque estos son los de mas circulación). Casi no visito los sitios de estos periódicos porque simplemente su contenido es de lo …

I had the privilege to hear Paco Peña play in Texas in 2005. I thought you might like to hear him. Impressive though this song is, I heard him duet with a classical guitar master and put him to shame with the sheer virtuosity and precision of his playing. It was like watching steel fire, with rivers …

It's even worse than I thought.I just took the practice test at Typing Certification.com.Old computer: 67 words per minute, corrected 69 words per minute, uncorrected 97% accuracy New laptop: 36 words per minute, corrected 53 words per minute, uncorrected 68% accuracy I keep putting my fingers on the wrong keys.Blog contents copyright © 2006-2008 La Gringa.

The full realization of that didn't come until this morning, and I confess, I laughed. Although the Murphy in question, Edward Murphy, has not been confirmed as having coined it, apparently "Anything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment", which proves the universe is perverse.

What a pig sty! I actually cleaned it up a little for the photoI've been working on setting up my new Toshiba laptop (Yay!). What a nightmare − not the computer, but the process (Boo!). It has been six long years since I've done this and it not only feels like I am starting back over again learning about computers but I'm also learning how to type again. Seriously, though I put myself through the first few years of school by typing, I think I'm going to have to pull out Mavis Teaches Typing − the keyboard feels that different.I haven't had wireless before and it seems to be having a problem downloadin

If your name becomes a punchline, here's CNN's consolation.

Forgive my short post, I'm in the middle of a project!

Bach's comic "Coffee Cantata" tells the terrible tale of an addicted young lady who would rather forgo fashionable clothes, her social life, gold, silver, and even marriage than be denied her pleasure in drinking coffee! A kindred spirit!

My favorite line:"Father, don't be so severe! If I can't drink …

(I couldn't find a suitable photo)Okay, Honduran readers, this one is for you.I rag on Honduras and Hondurans all the time, and you take it soooo well, so I thought you might enjoy a peek into what it is like to be white. Linked on one of my readers blogs, I found the most hilarious blog called Stuff White People Like.I was literally laughing out loud at some of the articles. I haven't read the whole blog yet, but some of my favorites, and I'll admit, the ones you can use against me, are:#75 Threatening to move to Canada ....or Honduras?#73 Gentrification#62 Knowing what's best for poor people#64 Recycling#53 Dog
