Elliot in Chile: September 2008
http://elliotinchile.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
My Gap Year Experience. Saturday, September 20, 2008. Las fiestas patrias (Continued). After days of celebration until the break of dawn, I declare Las fiestas patrias officially over. (They could easily continue through Sunday because Chileans will gladly extend the drinking, eating, and dancing for as long as possible.) Let me sum up everything that has happened since the last update. Today Julia, another volunteer, took me to the house of one of the tías from the institution where she works. There...

Elliot in Chile: June 2009
http://elliotinchile.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
My Gap Year Experience. Wednesday, June 3, 2009. If you missed the last post, check it out. I first met Marcela, the D-Sav therapist, in my first few weeks at Club. She acted extremely giddy upon talking to Carmen and me, very excited to test out her intermediate English knowledge with us. In line with what has become a theme of hospitality towards me in Chile, she invited us both over after only a half hour of talking to me. Beyond the typical dinner/ asado. Despite the unusual situation, I was enjoying...

to a great extent: October 2008

To a great extent. Yet another nerd with opinions. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Her belly may be full, but her spirit will be empty.". If we dig too deep here we may get into some kind of POW reversal thing that I don't want to touch, but seriously, is there a better summation of the McCain/Palin "This hard evidence proves X, Y, and Z; therefore, NOT X, Y, and Z is the truth! Wednesday, October 1, 2008. This just in: Obama camp understands IDIC; McCain camp for archaic ideals of manifest destiny. COURIC: I...

to a great extent: the first duty
http://flyingapparatus.blogspot.com/2008/06/first-duty.html
To a great extent. Yet another nerd with opinions. Monday, June 23, 2008. I'll start this with an incredibly simple, possibly obvious, and simultaneously gigantic statement: i love star trek. This is probably trite, but i felt complete. to be able to accept my whole self in such a way was, and is, deeply satisfying in a way i never knew growing up. I actually am holding my breath. I love reading this. June 23, 2008 at 8:37 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Links to enhance what you read here. First...

to a great extent: July 2008
http://flyingapparatus.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
To a great extent. Yet another nerd with opinions. Tuesday, July 1, 2008. An introduction to the star trek universe. Before I get into the discussions I want to have here about various aspects of Star Trek. I'd like to give a general explanation and timeline of the franchise as a kind of primer or framework for those of you who are not fans, or have watched on a very casual level only. It is generally accepted that the Star Trek franchise is comprised of 6 series, 10 (soon to be 11) films. Obviously it w...

To a great extent. Yet another nerd with opinions. Wednesday, October 1, 2008. This just in: Obama camp understands IDIC; McCain camp for archaic ideals of manifest destiny. According to gossip sites P6. Leonard Nimoy was at a recent Barack Obama event when the candidate spotted him in the crowd and acknowledged Mr. Spock with the Vulcan hand signal.". COURIC: I'm just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point. Specific examples of alien leaders who don't think you're a total jag? If that'...

Elliot in Chile: December 2008
http://elliotinchile.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
My Gap Year Experience. Monday, December 22, 2008. Blood Spilled in La Granja. Advisory: While the main facts of the following account are almost certainly true, the less significant details may be embellished or even false by no fault of my own. In La Granja, everyone knows, or at least knows of, each other. If you reside in one of the ubiquitous, tightly packed, wood and metal shacks, then it's likely that your family, friends, and enemies all live no more than a few blocks away. As of last report, the...

Elliot in Chile: May 2009
http://elliotinchile.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
My Gap Year Experience. Sunday, May 31, 2009. With little time to recover from my epic adventures in Pucón, I was soon off to what many bill "the best fireworks celebration in South America." Having heard that title thrown around many times even before arriving in Chile, I was set on heading to Valparaíso to view the brilliant spectacle for months in advance. T. Hus, I was eager to support the idea when other volunteers' proposed a trip to the coast for New Year's Eve. Finally descending into the city fr...
