(Wednesday, February 23, Day 247)

Phrase of the day: Quiero agujerear a traves de esta pared... I want to punch a hole through this wall.

No, I don't have anger issues. For the second time, the paint in my shower has run. You may be thinking, "yeah, it's paint in a shower, obviously", but that's just how they do it here. So the first time it happened, I just figured I hadn't waited long enough for it to dry. False. Apparently the real problem was that the cement below the paint never dried completely. Needless to say, after paying for paint three times now and wasting way too many hours painting, I'm not exactly thrilled.
Thankfully, I bought this to cheer me up.
And I did learn a lot about Ecuadorians during the process, at least about the ones I spoke to. When the paint ran the first time, I asked Javi if I could just put tile instead. He said the paint this time will work. It's his apartment, so I said fine, and did the work. The second time it ran(this time), I asked him about the tile once again. Yeah, I'm painting after class tomorrow. Really??

I finally fixed all the stuff falling on my head from above! It was really just dust, so nothing too bad. It was just annoying to have to sweep my place 5 times a day.
And I got a really sweet package from home...
Nope, Papyrus doesn't make moli now. (You can look that one up!) And if you don't read the Onion, this is only more reason to begin!
This post is pretty random, so lets add to the randomness. These are some ladies I saw the other day returning from the river with their clean laundry. Yeah, I'm thankful for washing machines too!
And Bubs, because I know you're worrying if I'm eating or not, this is what I have like once a week.
Not too shabby indeed...
