Strange days

oh, my … I neglected my journal a bit.

Well I'll try really quick to sum it up as I am packing for Montevideo :) Yes!- my Christmas present to myself ! I really have been a good person this year.

My internship in the Can-Can Club is over. There hasn't been much work in the last 2 weeks - the guys just started remodeling the studio, cleaning up, preparing projects that will start on January…, making holidays plans… I've used the free time to finish this until the 16th.
Well actually, I've used more than that, so I didn't go out much either. It was too hot anyway :P Oh,  btw, I found the solution to cope with the heat - working out like crazy :D (no joke) I wake up early - and start my cardio and stretching program at about 8:30, 9 am when there's already like 27-30°C. by the end of it I've sweated through 3 t-shirts and a towel, but everything afterwards seems so much cooler. This also soothes my guilt for giving in to argentinian artisanal ice-cream

This week I started going out again.
There was the last drawing&drinking get-together topped with a jam session. Here's the moment when the empanadas arrived and the people were trying to figure it out which ones were the ones they ordered - there was a key on a piece of paper with the symbols baked in for each flavor. Really smart :)

I also went to a Couchsurfing event, to meet some of the people I will be spending New Year's with, yesterday I've been in the Once district which pretty much looked like a huge market-place - big shops , small shops and street vendors everywhere!

 and today I've been to the Mercato de Pulgas again and I was disappointed to realize that it's not really a flea market but more of a furniture and antiques market. Still pretty fun to walk about


 What else?… ah, there were the usual blackouts that happen together with the heatwave once everybody starts their air-conditioning
 and here's two melted cats :

 So, nothing strange about all this… Well, it's me - I feel strange, detached …like there's a thin membrane between me and the wold. Sometimes I don't even feel the ground beneath my feet… I still don't know what this is, but I don't like it - it makes me blue

Merry Christmas !
