Nothing at All

it had been a while, i guess, since i wrote anything that was not part of an editing job that i was doing for a friend...

i have been well. i have been working, that's why, i guess. i was editing and translating and getting paid for it and feeling useful and capable beyond my innate and surprisingly well-rounded parenting skills (so far--cooking for a baby will prove a challenge. here in spain people actually cook for their babies, instead of buying Gerber Baby Food... and given our finances we will probably be like everybody else... that is, we will try...)

aitana got her first vaccines two days ago. it was painful to see her scream when the needle went in, piercing the tender skin of her thigh... she was utterly shocked and suffering. she had a mark on her thigh that is just now receding, poor thing... she was nice, however, with a fever--slept through the night as usual, only waking up to feed, not fussy, and during the day she was a little more clingy but not especially fussy or annoying. i think she is learning that we are learning all the time. it's all good...

i have no special insights into anything, no special things to say.

every night we watch a Sopranos episode or two--in spanish spanish, so that we miss the new york/new jersey italian gangster accents that are probably half the show's attractiveness--and every night ignacio downloads the next two. we like the fact that we are watching it years after it came out, because it's funny to see the early 1990s as so dated. they don't use cell phones. they are just starting to use laptops. i don't know, stuff like that.

any other showtime or hbo series we should target for illegal downloads?
