Picasa, the google photo sharing site, has a face recognition feature that helps you tag your photos. In my photos I have some from my trip to La Paz, Bolivia to see the Cholita wrestling, Bolivian women in traditional dresses beating each other up WWF style. Worth the trip! Anyways it was funny when Picasa thought one of the wrestlers was Crystal! I wouldn’t be surprised if she was moonlighting as a Cholita!

I can’t believe it has taken so long to go to a fútbol / soccer match! But finally I went with some friends to the first game of the season, Boca Jr’s vs. Argentinos Jr’s at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, which happens to be the smallest stadium in the city. It was a really entertaining game (final score 2-2), though we spent way too much money to sit on the Argentinos side (Boca is the favorite and has the craziest fans). But half the fun is being surrounded by the ardent fans, cheering, swearing, chanting, singing. I want to keep an eye out for a Boca Jr’s / River Plate match, South America’s answer to the Red Sox / Yankees rivalry. That game outta be great. GOL!!!!!!!!!

In honor of the last season of Lost starting this month, the Flavorwire blog has a list of books mentioned on Lost. I used to listen to a Lost podcast, and the podcasters would freeze-frame the episode whenever there was a book on screen, and then read it and give commentary on how it related to the show (purgatory, subterranean worlds, mysterious islands, biblical themes). Always interesting, but I left the research task to the super-fans. But a lot of the books on this list sound really good, and it makes me wish I could read really fast and also had an English library at my disposal.The Invention of Morel
by Adolfo Bioy Casares (1940)
The Moon Pool
by Abraham Merritt (1919)
“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce (1890)
Lancelot: A Novel
by Walker Percy (1977)
The Mysterious Island
by Jules Verne (1874)
Island
by Aldous Huxley (1962)
Valis
by Philip K. Dick (1981)
The Shape of Things to Come
by H.G. Wells (1933)

Her name is Merrill Garbus and she is tUnE-yArDs and she’s brilliant. She does the amazing looping-herself thing when she plays live, like Andrew Bird and Juana Molina. I recommend listening to her album BiRd-BrAinS right now!
