Rubi

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been *gasp* busy at work! Last friday my twin blogger and I had lunch! It was a blast as always. We had a lovely time and a laugh attack to boot! I think my stomach still hurts from laughing so hard. Poor kid!

Rob and I went out for dinner after work. It was nice. We went to Thai Lagoon in Bucktown. Yummy food, and they have sushi on weekends. After dinner we went out for drinks w/ my Milwaukee Sister and his friend from out of town. It was nice to be out but I must admit I was rather somber, since I had just found out earlier that my friend at work had lost her twins. She was 5 months along. So sad.

Needless to say the rest of the weekend was rather mellow. I had a pleasant surprise from Rob. He bought the DVD set of Rubi for us! OMG I am sooooo addicted!!!

It's so good. His only reason for buying it is because it's a remake of Teresa starring our obsession Salma Hayek. God knows when and if they are ever going to release that on DVD. So in the meantime this will do. It's bascially a condensed version which is good because u have NO commercials, and u only have to watch the opening credits once. But the best part...Eduardo Santamarina!!! Grrr...

So you all know what tomorrow is right??? It's the DVD release of Teen Witch!!!

Awwww yeah!!! I can't wait. Hey twin blogger maybe we should have a viewing this weekend? Hmmm....anyhoo to celebrate my excitement here is one of the many fine muscial numbers from this forgotten teen classic. It's my fave, and what a hoot! 'Cause I'm hot! And you're not...so take that!

I've been to tell you all this since last week but I haven't had a chance, Fangoria are going to perform in Chicago on October 15 at the Metro!!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!! The last time they were here was about 3 years ago at the Empty Bottle. Not sure when tickets go on sale or anything, but this was confirmed by their management after a posting on a fangoria message board. I'm assuming Radio Arte is bringing them again. I'll be there w/ bells on in the front row! For those of you in Chicago you should really try and see them. They are awesome! You'll all find out why Alaska is my diva :) Ta ta for now!

Cotex

Yay! Sasha won Big Brother VIP!!!! Yay!! I hope this means there will be newfound interest in her and they will finally release some of her older material on CD :)

The holiday weekend was pretty unproductive. But in a goodway. File under ghetto...Friday as I was coming back from PetSmart, I noticed that someone had thrown away a coffee table. We don't have a coffee table I thought. So I waited til around 10pm and though, what the heck. I walked over to the alley, and lugged my new coffee table home. It's not really what I was looking for, but it was free and it was really good quality! So my upcoming arts & craft project is to fix it up. Make it a little more "Joe". I just won these stained glass mosaic tiles on ebay. I am going to paint the top of the table blue, and cover it w/ tiles! Coolios.

Just because. Another picture of hottie Bobby The Package Pulido. Grrr...let me have a moment to myself. BTW...Sista M, this is the pic I was telling u about! Beefaroni indeed!

So on Sunday Jorge & Raymond invited me to a little gathering at Raymond's nephew's place. I happily obliged because a) I was broke and b) our fridge is out (we are using the one in the basement in the meantime). Anyhoo it was nice. So as the evening progressed Raymond continued to share more drunken Joe stories from last Sunday. LOL! So he's like do u remember getting into an argument outside of Circuit w/ some guy? I was like no. Here goes....

So some guy gets kicked out of Circuit, completely wasted. You turn to him and say 'Bitch you need to go home'. He than turns to you and says 'No fuck you bitch, you need to go home!'. In turn you turn around and say to him 'Bitch go change your Cotex!'

LOL! LOL! LOL! Holy shit I could not stop laughing!!! I was so lucky I didn't get my ass kicked. LOL! Figured you'd all enjoy that.

So since we are on the topic of Cotex...it's been awhile since I've shared a song w/ you all. That infamous line that I kept spewing at everyone at pride comes to us via none other than the ladies of BWP aka Bytches With Problems. If you know me, I love me some raunchy dirty girl rappers! My Milwaukee Sister shared w/ me another one of his Box childhood gems! I've adopted this song as well. Let me forewarn you that it's rather graphic, raunchy, what have you. But it's crap like this that I find absolutely hilarious!!! Enjoy...Cotex by BWP. BTW..it's Cotex not Kotex. This is da ghetto!

Sex Box

The moment you have all been waiting for...my Milwaukee Sister has finally posted to his blog! Oh no! Everyone check out the fierceness for yourself! I'm sure it will be a hoot! If you've ever wondered why I am such a freak, it's probably due to the fact that I associate w/ people like him...haha! Seriously folks, Sista M is the fiercest bitch I know! Introducing: Chicago Sexbox! Bookmark him now! BTW I almost forgot to mention that Meiver has a special post about me today! LOL! It's a lovely recap of my drunk dial to her :) Love ya babe! And when are you coming to Chicago?

So my Mom is going to Durango for 2 weeks tomorrow. I give her a small wishlist of CDs I want :) The rest I will be ordering from Mixup and have shipped to my Dad. It's so much cheaper. Anyhoo...speaking of Mexico, I am so excited that Sasha has made it to the final of Big Brother VIP. Rumour has it that if Sasha made it all the ex-Timbiriches would go show their support! I wish I could see it! So for those of you in Mexico....

I hope you all have a good weekend. I think we're just gonna stay in and chillax. Thank god we don't like in trashy Bridgeport anymore and have to deal w/ all the ghetto children and their fireworks. Being that I am not patriotic in any way, for those of you who are, enjoy it. I must go and pretend to look busy. Luckily for me my boss is out the rest of the afternoon :) Maybe we can leave early! I have to clean my house as my hermana, Robert is supposed to come over tomorrow. Have fun everyone this weekend and don't forget to read my Milwaukee Sister's blog! Enjoy your Monday off (for those of u in the US).

Triste

I was so sad yesterday. Wanna know why? Becaue my damn novela wasn't on! They were showing some stupid fútbol game!! Who gives a fuck??? I neeed my teen soap fix! Seriously. I think since I was such a loser in high school, I want to live vicariously through all the fresa characters that televisa spews out. Couldn't you just see me hanging w/ them? I would look hot in one of those lolita-esque prepa uniforms. Hot!

I would have posted earlier...but I was actually busy! WTF! My boss assigned me to work on a small project. Thank god I was about ready to die from boredom.

Can I tell you all about my ride home yesterday? So I get on the train to go home and what do I discover the minute I enter the car? The air conditioning was not working! Holy hot! Another reason why I hate summer. It was the longest ride ever! I even got off a stop early because I could not breathe anymore. Can it be fall yet?

mE.

No somos números

So we had a blast @ Donna Summer last night! It was so hot though! Ugh! It was free, and she was fierce! Rob was able to save seats for us, fortunately for me I found Eddie & Jorge. It was so much fun. Eddie and Rob were hilarious, fagging out at every song practically! I don't know what there were more of...homos or middle aged black women? There was this one guy w/ a red do-rag that was hilarious! My only complaint was she really didn't do any 80s material other than She Works Hard For The Money. Come on I was so hoping to hear This Time I Know It's For Real. It was a blast!

So since work is still slow, I've been browing other people's profiles and blogs via blogger. So I come across a blog from this girl in Mexico who was talking about her childhood obsession w/ Micro Chips! Holy shit do you remember them?

OMG I used to love them! They were this cheesy "rock" band w/ all kids. I guess you could say their main competition was Onda Vaselina. Anyhoo...I was just floored that there was this website. Go check it out! No somos números...oooh...aaaah. Some of the members even went on to groups such as Fobia, Moderatto, La Lupita, Aroma, etc. BTW you can download all of their albums on the site I found...on the downloads page!

My Rebelde obsession is growing! It's like I can't wait to go home now so I can watch today's episode! I swear sometimes I am a 13 year old girl.

mE.

Bored 2.0

So today we are going to go see Donna Summer for free at the Taste of Chicago. Should be fun as both Rob and Eddie are such big fans. I've never really gotten into her. I'm hoping this show she'll win me over, because I've been jamming out to her the past few days in preperation for the show. Should be fun! I think it's time I make a Donna Summer mix on my ipod. Hmmm...I think I'll start off w/ her SAW comeback This Time I Know It's For Real. BTW Sista M is back from Puerto Rico and he brought Rob and I Iris Chacón cd's! Yeah! Sorry you had to miss pride. There's always Market Days!

The above photo was taken of me when I was 19 months old when we lived in Torreón, Coahuila México. I love my swanky top! I notice that so many people post baby pics, so I figured...what the heck! Finally have a working scanner at home so I am sure you'll all be seeing more.

So this weekend I visited my mom before she leaves for a 2 week trip to Mexico. We went to Potawatomi. Holy crap is that place crazy! People are so into it. If you ever go, go up to the non-smoking section, it's a much more pleasant experience. I won $60 btw :) So since I took Chus along *who was such a good boy on the way there and back* we met up w/ Garrota and her baby! Here is a pic! They had so much fun together. Even if half the time Bili was trying to rape Chus! Oh no!

So I started watching Rebelde. I don't know what it is about cheesy teen soaps that suck me in? It's pretty awful and the characters have to be the most annoying but I can't stop watching. It's been 2 days and I'm already hooked? Uff! I already told you how annoying Anahí is...but that ugly blonde kid. Giovanni...eeeew! The other day I wanted to slap him. I think what gets me is all the cheesy English-language sayings they like to add...Es que soy un loser. Ha ha ha!

I can't think if there is anything else I needed to write about. Hmmm...oh well, if I get bored again I will write some more. Ciao for now!

mE.

Bored

Work is still slow and since I was bored I decided to post my top 5 most annoying celebrities....drum roll please....

1. Renée Zellweger: I can't stand her! She always looks like she's constipated and she's all oily. Eeew! Eeew! She jut gets on my nerves.
   
2. Tom Cruise: I know some of you like him out there, but I just don't get the appeal whatsoever. First of all I think he's not attractive, and his movies are beyond dull. Plus he needs to get his head out of his ass.
   
3. Jessica Alba: Can there be a more self-hating Mexican? She's such a coconut!
   
4. Thalía: Ever since Thalía signed to EMI she's been on my shitlist. I used to love her when she was all campy and trashy in the early 90s. Plus when she covered Alaska's A quién le importa, that just sealed the deal. She's just too full of herself for her own good.
   
5. Anahí: My latest addition. I've recently starting watching Rebelde...OMG is she annoying! What happend to her nose? She's just so wrong. Hola Daaaaaaady
   

Ok enough ranting. Like I said I was bored at work and couldn't think of anything else to write about. I'll post more later.

Holy Drunk

it went something like this "omg biach, estoy bien en pedo, so guey! omg glennys we are so drunk, biach  you need to come to chicago right now, omg my friends want to say hi to you- everyone say hello to glennys" and all i heard was a real loud hello from a bunch of people and then i lost the call. locos.

That is a direct quote from Glennys. I drunk dialed her yesterday at pride. And my cousin Mari, Ricky, J-lola, and god knows who else! It was a blast, and apparently I got really drunk! I mean really! I keep hearing little tidbits from everyone. OMG!

Unfortunately I don't remember a lot of details. Not even the ride home! Oh no! My Milwaukee Sister would have been proud! Poor Rob. I was so wasted that he really didn't get to go out. Sorry booboo :( I'll make it up to you :P

I would write more but so many details are blurry...

mE.

Lookout weekend

Tonight I am heading to Mootown to help my Mom w/ some things before she goes to Mexico. Chus will joining me in the overnight trip :) I think we are gonna head out to the casino. The trip will be short because the Gay Pride Parade is this Sunday. It should be a drunken adventure that I am sure you will all hear about on Monday. Don't forget girls...(Glennys & Meiver) I still owe you your drunk calls! Hot! So for those of you who do end up going out this weekend to your respective Pride event...

mE.

8 o'clock

I posted the pics from Eddie's going away on flickr. I think I am becoming addicted to it. Thanks twin. Enjoy the pics. Hope this link works.

Not much is really going on. Work is sooooo slow right now. I guess I can't complain. Calm before the storm as they say. Since I've been so bored I've been checking out other's links from their blogs. My twin blogger (wow 2 shoutouts in one post!) had this link and I am obsessed with it! Basically people send in postcards annonymously and reveal a secret. They create their own postcard (that's where the creative part comes in). I so want to do this!

Since so many of you were telling me how much you liked my apartment, I am gonna try and put my wannabe interior design skills to use! My friend at work is having me come over to her condo and give her advice on what colors to paint her place. Fun! I live for shit like this!

mE.

Slow

First of all I am tired, and cranky. Last night's going away for my Milwaukee Sister was a hoot! I made spaghetti and meatballs and spinich salad (and Jorgillo helped). Yummy. It was delicious. Plus we were all fuckin' starving. Anyhoo...after two bottles of wine it was time to go to bed as I had to take Sista M to Midway at 5:30 am! Girl...you best bring me back my Iris Chacón cd's! LOL! And that hot new cute boy singer! Not sure if you'll be reading this while you are in PR but just in case, have a blast! But I am sure you are too busy gawking at Ricky Martín and Charlie Massó look-alikes...or dancing at Re-GAY-tón night! Ha ha ha! I took pics but I will post them later.

Things are super slow at work right now, with that being said, it's making it really hard to get through the day. I can only surf the net so much. Good new though. Today is the day Chus gets his stitches out! Yay! Now he can have a bath. We have not been able to bathe him because of the stitches. I am sure he's thrilled though. He has to be clean for our little side trip. We are visiting Grandma Friday night and Saturday during the day. Don't worry I'll be home early enough Sat. to veg before my day of drinking and drunken stupidness (aka Gay Pride).

Being that I am so bored I took this little quiz. Take it. Amuse me.

Which "Saved By The Bell" Character Are You?

Only difference between me and her is that I don't star on daytime soaps now. Mokay! That's all for now.

mE.

Flickr

So my twin blog singed me up for a Flickr account. I really have no idea what it is, all I know is that I can post pictures and people can comment on them. To start off I posted a bunch of pics I took of our apartment this weekend (out of utter boredom). Click to enlarge...

To see the actual pics you must go to my flickr page. Now as to how you actually get to my account? Not sure...let's try this. Let me know if it works! Actually I think it does.

Tonight we are having a slumber party to send off my Milwaukee Sister as tomorrow he is leaving to Puerto Rico. I hope I don't get drunk. Should be fun as our adopted Milwaukee Sister Jorge will be joining us. We are gonna watch slutty Paola e Chiara videos! Hence the Italian meal.

I have to pretend to look busy at work. It's so slow. I'm od'ing on starburst and reading People magazine. Joy. It's only Tuesday.

Me.

911

Again I stayed in this weekend. Chus is doing soooo much better, and we couldn't be more thrilled! Anyhoo I was on house arrest again, watching him. It's ok as it gives me lots of time to get things done around the house, mainly clean, etc. A friend was to have come over...but I got stood up AGAIN. 2 times now. Sorry, enough is enough as Ms. Donna Summer would say.

So this weekend was the Puerto Rican parade/festival/whatever it's called. Damn I have never heard so many ghetto blasters blaring Reggaetón in my life! But I have a stupid question? Why does every Puerto Rican guy in my neighborhood have that awful Daddy Yankee hairdo?? You know the one I'm talking about...it looks like someone licked his head, like a bad ceaser haircut. LOL. To further iterate my rambling, check out the above picture of Mr. Yankee. BTW when are they gonna stop plucking their eyebrows!!! Enough already!! Hope I'm not offending anyone (Sista M)...but damn! As they say...Gay or Puerto Rican? LOL!

So the other thing I did this weekend was watch season 4 of Queer as Folk. It's such an awful show, but whatever I find it to be a guilty pleasure if you will. What I did watch though (and loved to bits) was season 1 of Reno 911...holy hilarious! OMG...I loved it! An old freelancer here at work told me that it would be right up my alley as it's pretty out there. She was right! Can't wait to see the other seasons.

So I recently ordered some CDs from a CD collector in Mexico City. I was looking for an out-of-print Alejandra Avalos CD and out of curiosity I asked the guy if he happened to have a CD by ex-Locomía Frances Picas. Well I nearly wet myself when he told me he did. Needless to say I almost died when my package arrived last Friday. Holy shit! I've been looking for his CD since 1994! It fuckin' rocks! So since I am sure there are other Locomía whores out there (Patty and crew) I present today's song of the day: LOCOS POR AMOR by Frances Picas. This was his one hit in Mexico (not sure about the rest of the Spanish speaking world). Anyhoo enjoy! The funny thing is this was the very first song I downloaded (and looked for) when I first got Napster years ago. Enough rambling...enjoy the song everyone!

No me extraña nada

Today is Sasha Sökol's birthday! 2 of my divas in one week! She's 35. I'm jamming out to my Sasha playlist. I only wish I was Mexico so I could watch Big Brother VIP. I found this cool fan site that chronicles all that goes down in la casa más famosa de México. Here's hoping she wins!

Turns out that my Milwaukee Sister and I will get another chance for our Milwaukee Homecoming. As a child I was forced to partake in what is called Mexican Fiesta, an annual festival that takes place every year during the last weekend of August. My parents were on the Board of Directors, and were ultimately in charge of the Entertainment lineup each year. That was years ago and turns out that this year they are actually bringing someone I LIKE! Alejandra Guzmán!!! Now we can sing Lipstick together along w/ her!! About time they brought someone decent. At least when my parents were there they actually brought good people. After they left it turned into a Tejano fest. Eeew...the least they could have done was bring hot ass Bobby Pulido. Grrr.

Pride is coming up, and unfortunately Rob is working that weekend. I wasn't even gonna go but at his insistence that I do go, I decided...why the hell not! So I am gonna hang out w/ Jorge and a few of his friends and hit some parties. God knows I don't need to see the parade. What's the point? You've seen one drunk fag gyrating on a float, or a scary dyke on a motorcyle...you've seen them all. I don't need a parade to tell me how I'm proud to be gay. Hello...I just want to drink! Should be interseting. Let's see how long I last. 2 years ago all I ate were french toast sticks, and about 3 pitchers of long island ice teas! Maybe now I can return the drunk call favor to Glennys and Meiver! Girls...you've been warned.

Hope everyone has a good weekend! I will be staying in w/ Chus again and watching Queer As Folk, since Sista M lent me season 4. It's not even a good show, but hey it gives me something to do!

ME.

Sexbox

So as I mentioned yesterday was Alaska's bday, so I listend to lots and lots of her music. I was bored and took a picture of my Alaska CD Wall. What a dork, I know! Amuse me. Since it's been forever since I posted a song for you all I'm sharing a cool cover that Fangoria did w/ Victor Coyote. It's a cover of Gloria Trevi's Amor apache!!! It's wicked. Here it is!

So remember how I was going on and on about this hot new actor, Juan Vidal in that bad Mexican movie Desnudos? Well I obtained some hunky pics of him from the movie and just had to share w/ you all. Enjoy!

I have a huge announcement to make. For those of you who read my blog regularly (humor me I know someone must!)...I am sure you have seen me utter the words Milwaukee Sister on many an occasion. Well the fiercest bitch I know has decided it's time he start his own blog! Oh no! I can't wait! You have all been warned, starting July 1st my Hermana de Milwaukee will have his own fierce blog! So in anticipation, I've created this little coming attraction for you all. Remember: bookmark it now...Chicago Sexbox!!! Time to change my Cotex Sista M!

Te quiero porque eres sucía...

It's Alaska's birthday today! All hail the Mexican Acid Queen! To celebrate I will listen to all things Alaska today (desde Pegamoides hasta Fangoria). If you're bored check out this awesome fan site!

BELATED

With all that's been going on I totally forgot that it's been a year already that I started blogging! I started doing this just for fun, and it's turned into a bit of an addiction. Just spewing out my random thoughts, ranting when needed, meeting new people (like my twin), reading all of your blogs (which has become a daily routine for me). Thanks for all of you who actually read this, and don't make too much fun of me! LOL!

I was on Chus duty all weekend :) He's doing so much better! He's getting back to his normal old self, a spoiled brat! But I wouldn't have it any other way. He should have his stitches out next week. Let's hope this week goes fast as I am sure he doesn't want to wear that damn lamp shade anymore (actually it's an e-collar...but it sure as hell looks like one.

Why are all men from Chile so fuckin hot?? One of my crushes is back on some new novela on Univision. I have no idea when it's on...but damn is he hot! BTW his name is Christian de la Fuente. Grrr!

So since Rob has started working part-time on the weekends I am so bored! I guess I am not used to having all this time to myself, I don't know what to do with it! I cleaned the house, I organized the pantry. I watched a gazillion movies. Anyhoo I hate to bore you all w/ my boring weekend (I know they are usually more exciting). So I won't continue anymore. Til we meet again.

Heatwave 2.0

Chus is coming home today! I am so happy!

Heatwave

I am still awaiting to hear from the clinic to find out if Chus can come home today. Cross your fingers. Rather than sit here and twiddle my thumbs, I figured I would catch up on my blogging.

Can I just tell you how disgusted I am w/ the weather? I H A T E summer! Hate it! Hate it! Hate it!!!!!!! I just can't stand the muggy, sticky, nasty heat. I know there are probably some of you who think I am on crack, i'd take a 10 below zero day over a 90º day! To think it's just starting. Can't it just be fall everyday? How I miss cool nights, sweaters, rain, etc. I think it's time to look into Seattle.

So w/ all that happened to Chus recently I never got around to talking about Memorial Day weekend. As I mentioned previously my cousins from Milwaukee came up. We had lunch at Café Ibérico and had tons of yummy Sangría! My God those girls have livers of iron! They didn't even get a buzz from the fabulous mango and strawberry margaritas! We went to my favorite Mexican restaurant, Puebla, and my Milwaukee Sister and I got super trashed...super fast! OMG it was hilarious. Don't ask me how many times we sang Dookie Shoot at the table. Oh but the fun's just begun! They have karaoke on the weekends, and usually you have to listen to some 40+ year old warble some José José hit or some queen and his fag hag sing Selena. Well since Eddie and I were sooooo shitfaced, we were like "if they have LIPSTICK we should sing it". So Rob, who was probably also tipsy, went up to find out if they had it. Well they did! After waiting forever, and drinking more to get enough courage to sing in front of a restaurant full of strangers....it was finally our turn. After laughing uncontrolably for about the first verse, I joined my Milwaukee Sister in our ultimate moment of fierceness. It was hilarious!!! Some nasty Juan Gabriel looking queen came up and started gyrating us (as you'll see in the pics below). It was too funny! I think that was the gayest moment that restaurant has ever seen. I can't wait to go back! Now for your viewing pleasure...

Six Feet Under began Monday. Unfortunately we don't have cable anymore so Janet was nice enough to let us watch it at her place. Can't believe it's ending. Sniff sniff. Not much else is really going on. A trip to Milwaukee on Saturday is pending. We were gonna go to PrideFest in Milwaukee to go see Taylor Dayne and RuPaul. I was really looking forward to it...but in all honesty I don't think I will be able to leave Chus alone even if it's only for a few hours. My poor baby needs me to care for him. So looks like it will be a blockbuster night...err netflix night I should say. Who goes to Blockbuster anymore?

All right I must stop for now as I actually have work to do today!!!

Update

When I wrote last Thursday, I had mentioned that Chus was home w/ us. Well something told me to stay home with him on Friday. Glad I did. His condition did not get any better, and I had to take him back to vet that same day. After much speculation the vet told me that I would most likely have to take him to clinic out in the burbs. She was recommended that he would have to have a surgery that would involve enlarging his uretha (scary!!). After spending $$ of money at the vet, which I will no longer take him to anymore, we took Monday off (well I did) and drove out to the burbs to a special clinic. There they took an ultrasound, and the vet was speculating that it could be his liver. Turns out he was right. The Dr. said that a blood vessel was not going through the liver and around it, therefore his bladder was filling up w/ blood. Yesterday they performed surgery on him and I have spoken w/ the Vet several times and Chus is doing wonderful! My poor baby! He's gone through so much and has been such a tropper through all of this. Hopefully tomorrow we can bring him home, granted that he is able to pee w/ out his catheter. I can't even begin to explain the stress and anguish we went through. It was the worst feeling in the world not knowing what was wrong w/ him nor that we couldn't do anything to make him better. He has to stay at the ICU where he will be undergoing constant care. For those of you with pets (Glennys), I highly recommend you looking into CareCredit®. It's a wonderful option as vet bills can be very expensive, and unfortunately you usually have to pay up front 9 times out of 10. With their help we are able to pay for Chus's surgery :) Again thanks to everyone for all ur kind words. I'll post more later on. Hope you're all well.

Recovering...

We can bring our baby home today! Thanks everyone for ur kind words and good thoughts :) I'll post properly tomorrow!

Chus

Chus is very sick and has been already hospitalized for a day. I won't go into details right now, but we're hoping for a very speedy recovery. We are both heartbroken and I'd appreciate your good thoughts and prayers. When I have some good news I will post an update.

Pau Pau

The following are some pics from the Chicago show that I borrowed from the lovely Emilio. I wonder how he snuck in his camera? Hmmm...BTW her dancer...holy shit! He was hot. He's in the second photo (he's the first dancer) and the last one was him shakin his ass! Damn! He pulled down his pants and his package...dios' mío!! He's from Puerto Rico. What do you expect? I swear he smuggled the entire island down there. LOL. Ok the pics for your enjoyment. Thanks Emilio!

The show was fun. The Milwaukee Sister and I always have a blast and having Frank along for the fun was a plus. We couldn't stop swooning over this skinhead-esque guy in front of us. Oh no! He was a hottie. But he smelled. Fuchis!! Now the show...it was fun. She was horrible as usual (vocally) but it was fun and I loved the clips they had on the big screens. Now my one major complaint was the lack of pre-2000 Paulina Rubio songs. She did do a mini acoustic set where she took requests from the audience. Luckily for us she did Amor de mujer. Eddie and I were gonna demand a refund should she have not sung it. It was fun, but all the new queens kept looking at us like we were on crack as we squeeled w/ joy and I even busted out w/ the choreography. Hello I used to watch SIEMPRE EN DOMINGO religiously! It's not my fault they only know "Lo haré por ti" Paulina and beyond. Silly queens must be educated. Before she was all heroin chick looking there was bad bleach big eyebrow paulina! LOL...

The opening act was ok, Alih Jey. I only knew her one semi-hit, It's Ok.Anyhoo...it was fagville of course. The show was a late one, and I was so tired the next day. I guess I can't hang how I used to. That's ok though.

This weekend will be a drunk-fest as my favorite alcoholic cousins Mari & Gina are coming, along w/ Sylvia and Jesus (aka Paty). We plan on having sangría for lunch @ Café Ibérico and margaritas for dinner @ Puebla. Yay! Can't wait! Have a safe weekend everyone. XOXO.

Uff!

I've been trying to write for the last few days, but work has been keeping me busy. What can I expect it's a job. I'm kind of in a funk right now cause I am bored to death of my job, I am having no luck finding another and I have bills up the ass to pay. On a brighter note the CDs I bought in Mexico to sell on ebay did very well! I think I paid $40 maybe for all of them (if that) and I got a whopping $120!! I am using that money to pay off bills. So at least some good has come.

I meant to post these pics ages ago but never got around to it. Kelly Tsoula Doukas was in town and her and Marlene came over for dinner along w/ Weenie's baby Milo. Ooooh! Kelly I want those pics from Alethya's bday outing and any other ones u took (ooooh and slutty greek boy pics!!!!). I know u read this, so I am sorry I didn't get to say goodbye before I left for Mexico. It was crazy departure. Sorry. I hope u still love me. Enough mushy stuff...here are some pics. First is Rob and Chus and Milo. What fun it was having 2 dogs in the house. The second is Kelly on my Gazelle. It was fun. She had her first meatloaf ever! Gasp!

Anyhoo...I have to tell you all about my new musical obsession! The other weekend I went to Lola's w/ my Milwaukee Sister, José and Rob. Afterwards we went to Berlin. Hadn't been there in awhile. Forgot how much I loved the place, even though it's always too crowded. Not to mention all the scary trannies that hang out there. Anyhoo...they always play really fun music, lots of electroclash like Peaches, etc. So this song comes on and the first line is Do I look like a slut? Uh huh. So what. The song was absolutely hilarious and it reminded me a dirtier Fannypack (whose new album I still have yet to buy...GASP!). After some searching Rob found it and the song is by this duo called Avenue D. Needless to say it's become one of my most-played songs...until I heard (rather saw) this! OMG...it is the fucking funniest thing I have ever heard in my life. Über raunchy...and oh so funny. You'll be singing along for days. I am so ordering their cd! Besides anyone who claims their musical influences range from new wave to freestlye, to Cyndi Lauper to Jem and the Holograms are way beyond cool in my book! Please come to Chicago!

So I already emailed Glennys (congrats again on ur new baby Dali!), Meiver and Patty about this...but one of my favorite shopping finds in Mexico was ex-Fobia lead singer Leonardo de Lozanne's second flop album Turistas. What a shame it flopped! It was so much better than his debut flop cd....do we see a pattern here? This CD is already long out-of-print and I was so lucky to find a copy in the discount bin in Torreón. I wanted to share w/ you all one of my fave songs from the album...MUJER DE LOS 80s. Enjoy!

BTW I am going to see Paulina Rubio tonight w/ my Milwaukee Sister. I've seen her twice alreay (once when she was promoting PLANETA PAULINA and on her last US tour). God she's awful, but she's my favortie bad singer as I've mentioned time and time again. I can't get enough of her. I better wear noca-repellent...as I am sure there'll be lots of 'em at tonight's show. Rumor has it she is not doing that much material from her EMI days. I hope that's not true. I miss her olden days w/ her big eyebrows and bleach blond hair. Sigh.

VIP

I've been meaning to write more and share some pics, but I've actually been *gasp* busy at work! LOL! That sucks. Last thing you want to do when you come back from vacation is work.

Like I said before I bought Rob a shitload of cd's in Mexico. Probably around 20 or so...

Mostly his menapausal divas, but the look on his face when he got them all was priceless! BTW my suitcase finally showed up Tuesday morning. The majority of these were in there. Other than all my CD shopping...I called Rob every night while I was there. Needless to say I went through a lot of these phone cards. Too bad they only lasted about 10 minutes. I guess that's what 50 pesos gets you:

I did manage to pick up about 10 or so CDs for myself as well. You'll see in the middle Ari Borovoy, which I had to purchase 3 copies. One for me, one for Rob and one for my Milwaukee Sister! It's awful, but who cares...he's fuckin' hot!!!

So while I was at the hotel, I knew I had to try and catch some episodes of Big Brother VIP. Normally I wouldn't care about this show, which places has-beens and C-list celebs in the VIP version of this popular show. I had to watch cause my girl Sasha Sökol is one of the habitants! It was so addicting. I hope she actually wins! God knows she can use the exposure. Her last CD was just barely released in Mexico. It's excellent, check it out!

So last night we decided to give Chus a haircut. He has so many knots, I was too embarassed to take him in. Rob did an excellent job! He looks adorable! He was cooperative for the most part. I'll post some pics later. Apparently I am on call this weekend should any major help be needed. Let's hope not! I'm looking forward to staying in and relaxing w/ my babies. It will be nice.

Did you catch last night's finale of America's Next Top Model? I can't believe Naima won! I'm sorry but she was too cocky, and I thought there were so many other girls who were better than her. Plus she looks too much like J-Lo, so that automatically makes me dislike her. LOL! I think fabu Brittany should have won. Oh well. That's all for now. Take care everyone!

Lost

Well I surived my week in Durango. I say survive because it was torture being w/out Rob (and Chus). Sure it was fun going CD shopping, etc., but it wasn't the same. Needless to say I am so glad to be back.

Believe it or not I hardly took any pictures while there. My batteries were dead, and I didn't have time to charge them. So I used my Dad's camera to take some pics...but I found out that my Mom left the camera w/ him. Uff! Oh well.

I did tons of CD shopping!! I had a list from Rob, plus stuff I wanted, stuff for my Milwaukee Sister, and crap I bought to sell on ebay :) I really didn't buy anything for my friends, just my coworkers. Unfortunately the majority of this stuff is in my suitcase which was LOST by the airline. Fortunately before I could bitch them out they had it already flagged in their system that my bag was on it's way! Woo hoo! So I should have it by 7pm.

I hope everything's in there! I don't even remember what I all bought. Off the top of my head Jeanette Chao, María Barracuda, Ari Borovoy, Betty, Sasha Sökol (the Mexican edition of Por un amor) and the regular and deluxe Mexican editions of Fangoria's Arquitectura efímera and God knows what else!

I am happy to back home in Chicago. I missed all the drama at work while I was away. Thank God! Everyone worked last weekend and this past weekend. Good time to be out of the country. Lol. Enough chitter chatter...I have some thank you cardsd to write!

Estoy vivo...

I have not had a chance to write but I just wanted to say hi and that I am alive and I will be back in Chicago tomorrow (Sunday). I miss Rob and Chus like crazy!!!! It's unexplainable. Love you all. Will catch up on blogs when I get back. Muaaaaa....

Volver

I have been extremely swamped at work. Trying to get everything done before I leave. So I was not able to post at all this week.

Sunday was Chus's birthday :) He's 1!! My baby is 1!!! He still needs a proper celebration (like he really cares, he's fine just being w/ us...but I care) but we did take him to the dog park. It was fun. He was so cute trying to chase some of the bigger dogs. Here's a pic from the outing :)

I have to share some exciting news. Pedro Almodóvar has just announced that his next film we star none other than Carmen Maura!! Carmen is my favorite Chica Almodóvar and apparently she and Pedro had a falling out in the 80s and haven't worked together since Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios. The new film is called VOLVER and is in pre-production. To read more about the film (that also stars Penelope Cruz) you can read this article from Terra Spain. You know what the other great thing about this film is?? It also stars Chus Lampreave!! She's so cute!! Plus she's Chus's namsake.

Like I said work was driving me crazy and I'm kind of at a crossroads trying to figure out what my next career move is. Once I figure it out I will let you know.

So I've been having a lot of weird dreams lately. Over the past few weeks I had a dream that my friend at work died of a drug overdose, that some woman punched my mother in the nose (and I in turn beat her up), that my old childhood friend kept getting aroused everytime he was near me (????) and God knows what else! Is that werid??? What do all these dreams mean???

So tomorrow I leave for Durango. I have not even packed and I had a major scare this week. I couldn't find my passport! Technically you can get by w/ your birth certificate. But I have no idea where that is right now, and I would have had to have gone to Milwaukee to go get it! Luckily for me Rob remembered where I used to keep it and it was still there. Needless to say I am gonna miss him terribly. I hope the time goes by fast. I am gonna miss Chus too :( Wish I could write more, but I can't. So I leave you w/ a message featuring, imo, the most beautiful Mexican actress ever to grace the silver screen (and she's from...gasp...Durango!!!)...Dolores Del Rio:

At random

So yesterday someone on SayHey! suggested playing ten random songs on your ipod and posting them for others to see. I thought, what a cool idea. You have no idea what you have on your ipod after awhile. LOL...so this was mine today:

1. Heartbeat - Stacey Q
   
2. You Lied To Me (Sprayed w/ Shep's Attitude Mix) - Cathy Dennis
   
3. Quiero - Mario Domm
   
4. Go West - Pet Shop Boys
   
5. Chica Chica Boom Chic - Carmen Miranda
   
6. You Can't Get Away - Shana
   
7. Descongélate - Alaska y Dinarama
   
8. Still Heart - Cree Summer
   
9. Times Are Changing - La Toya Jackson
   
10. No seas tan cruel - Timbiriche
    

In other news my Elan cd arrived today :) So I will be listening to this a gazillion times starting...NOW!

En mi propia pieeeeeeel

I just sent my Milwaukee Sister an email that I am sure will have his cooch gushing w/ joy! One of my favorite obscure acts en español is back! Meyra Cordova is a dance singer from Guetemala via Mexico who released a killer dance album back in 1998 called Intensamente. I swear to god she sounds like Edith Márquez (ex-Timbiriche)! I got a promo back in the day and I devoured it! I still listen to this all the time, I was just curious to look for her today and what do I find? She has her own website up and is even performing in Anaheim, CA on May 15 at some festival called Festirock 2005! Damn I wish I was in CA right now. If any of you want her trashy dance, you can find her album relatively cheap on half.com.

So I leave for Durango a week from Saturday :( I'm sad and happy. Happy to see my Dad but mostly sad that I am gonna be away from Rob for a whole week :( The most we've ever been apart was a day!!! And I am gonna miss my baby Chus as well :( I've been trying to read up on what's going on down there, mainly via one of their newspapers. Though I've mostly been going through the society pages. They make me laugh the crap they print. Con porras y aplausos se llevó a cabo la coronación de las tres ganadoras del concurso “Externa tu belleza interna” que fue organizado por la Coordinación de los Centros de Desarrollo del DIF Estatal. How many crownings do they need over there? Lol! At least our hotel is really nice. They have their own shopping center, and it's in downtown Durango near everything, and best thing is they have internet in all the rooms! So I guess I'll be blogging while there.

Sunday is Chus's 1st birthday (and my sister's 41st incidently) so I am not sure what we'll do. I wanted to get all my friends w/ dogs over but I think I'll just get him a doggy cake, and maybe take him to the dog park or something. I'm sure he'll have a blast.

Ok not much else to say for now. Today's song of the day is by one of my fave acts from Spain (what's with me and Spanish artists??). They are kinda not really that known, but I love them. The vocalist totally sounds like she's gone to the Ana Torroja school of singing (she's an obvious influence), but check out this song by Flores Raras...it's hot! Quiero verte danzar.
