The Progress of "Things"

I’ve been asked by more than one friend why haven’t we posted anything to the blog in so long. So much has been going on, I still find myself thinking how to write what just happened; there is still so much to tell, just as much as before. I’ve even started writing a couple of times. But you see, certain things have changed, things that have kept me away from writing. My reading has also suffered. No reason to worry, its just progress. By all standards we now have more “things”. Let me tell you about it.

About tree months ago (has it been that long since I last wrote) a new family moved into the apartment next door (we live in a duplex house). They are a great family, a Spanish man with a Honduran wife and two kids; quite nice and friendly people. Since the two apartments are in one property we share bills and everything and when they decided to get Cable TV… kaboom!! As if by magic we too have cable. To be honest not really by magic, we had to plug the TV and test if it worked for us too… and it did!! We soon offered to split the bill and are now enjoying cable, HBO and Starz included, for about $8 a month. Not bad. Needless to say I spend the time I used to write and read watching E!, HBO, CNN and other enriching programming. By any capitalistic society’s standards we have progressed.

To add to that we asked Max’s family to bring us the GameCube we left back home. I knew it wasn’t the best of ideas, but we both really wanted it anyway. I have always been addicted to Double Dash (Mario Kart) and have spent a lot of my reading and writing time playing Game Cube. Progress!!

Like I said before, things have happened; plenty to write about. Hopefully the novelty of cable and Game Cube are wearing off (doubtful on second thought) and I’m back on track. I’ll start with the most recent and go back in time, since you might be interested in knowing a bit more about Honduran Christmas.
