For the five people who’ve been wondering what Jess has been up to in Chile. In case you’ve been wondering what Jess has been up to…. On becoming “Porteña”. April 18, 2008. Here’s a fun food game for all of you: it’s called Name That Condiment! Scenario #1: You’re eating a fresh, raw salad, with shredded lettuce, carrots, celery, maybe a little tomato. It’s drenched in lemon juice, salt, and oil, but it could still use a good douse of . You had a little to top it off. Now it’s time to NAME THAT CONDIMENT!

GET MUMMY: SEMI-ONLY CHILD
http://draculazine.blogspot.com/2011/01/sisters-1973-dir-brian-de-palma-ive-got.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Dir: Brian De Palma. For my birthday and says embarrassing things out loud like " Law Abiding Citizen. Should get five out of five stars, easy! In cinematic history, had the audacity to successfully rip off Sergei* Eisenstein's most well-known sequence. For a goddamned gangbusters genre piece, inspired every rapper in the world to be an even bigger idiot. And straight-up showed the entirety of one of his films as its own trailer.

World's First Expat Blog: Three strikes
http://worldsfirstexpatblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/three-strikes.html
World's First Expat Blog. Friday, March 21, 2008. We have a long holiday weekend — not just Jueves Santo. And Viernes Santo,. But Monday's Día Nacional de la Memoria por la Verdad y Justicia. Banks are closed for the holidays* , but many bank employees had already been on strike anyway. The big question going into the holiday weekend was whether there would be enough money in the ATMs to withstand demand. A strike at the weather service meant they couldn't plan their flight routes. This blog is on hiatus.

World's First Expat Blog: ¡Salud!
http://worldsfirstexpatblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/salud.html
World's First Expat Blog. Sunday, March 23, 2008. For a while, I didn't know just how my last week or so here would play out. And then Thursday night I got a pretty clear idea. I managed to trick an editor into liking one of my story ideas, so I'm going to spend most of my last week working. A friend asked me Friday if I was staying awake 24/7 to soak up my remaining time here. Not quite. But almost. One week and many wine bars to go before I sleep. March 23, 2008 at 7:44 PM.

World's First Expat Blog: Super!
http://worldsfirstexpatblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/super.html
World's First Expat Blog. Monday, March 17, 2008. I've been trying to sell myself all day. It makes me feel a little cheap and slightly dirty. And after today, I'm not sure I wouldn't do better selling my blog by standing on a street corner in a long, pervish overcoat. The best part of a rejection email in this case is when it reads: "Hi. Thanks for the pitch, but we're going to have to pass on your blog about fruit. Well Yeah. I mean, when you put it like that. Why don't you just move to Japan? Thanks f...

World's First Expat Blog: Going out on top
http://worldsfirstexpatblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/going-out-on-top.html
World's First Expat Blog. Friday, March 7, 2008. Going out on top. Maybe I should just leave now, because it's never going to get better than this. Walking up Angel Gallardo toward my apartment, I heard sirens and saw a stream of motorcycle cops coming at me. They were clearing traffic to make way for . . . a visiting dignitary? 161;¿ la presidenta. The Iron Maiden motorcade. March 9, 2008 at 9:29 AM. It all happened so fast!

World's First Expat Blog: Ñoquis
http://worldsfirstexpatblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/oquis.html
World's First Expat Blog. Sunday, April 29, 2007. You know, the Washington Post has a piece in the Travel section on los ñoquis del 29. You might want to check it out. You might want to use the site to email it to friends and relatives. You might want to leave a comment at the bottom of the article. Really, there's no telling what you might want to do. In any case, it's not a bad article. I have a feeling you have been waiting to use the phrase "pillowy dumpling" for a long time. This blog is on hiatus.

World's First Expat Blog: Time and energy
http://worldsfirstexpatblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/time-and-energy.html
World's First Expat Blog. Friday, January 18, 2008. A few weeks back, the president declared that moving the clocks ahead one hour would alleviate the energy crisis (read: persistent blackouts). One day she announced the time change, a few days later the congress approved it, and a week or so later we were all changing our clocks. It reminded me a lot of when her husband declared a new national holiday with about a week's notice. It doesn't even matter. After people pitched a fit, the government clar...
