Eric: "Are you having fun watching the high school telenovelas over in Spain? The 'telenovelas de escuela segundaria?'"
Me: "No...I haven't watched "Fisica o Quimica" in at least two weeks..."

bad dreams:sad::ice skating:happy
I was in the family room area with Carlos and Rocio, while Dante was napping in their room, and I heard some quiet tapping noise. I get up and turn on the light in the hall, and it is just what I thought: Dante hurriedly running in the dark hallway towards the family room on the verge of tears. I am pretty sure he had a nightmare. Carlos quickly ran into the hall and swept him up and handed him his "chupa" (pacifier). He quietly sobbed in Carlos' arms, then Carlos took him to sit on the sofa chair. Dante quietly sucked on his pacifier as he calmed down.
Eventually, Dante got up and laid on Rocio, who was napping on the couch. She woke up and wrapped the blanket around him and they cuddled. It was so adorable. Carlos continued watching TV while Rocio and Dante laid quietly on the couch, until Dante perked up at a TV show that Carlos flipped to. Dante, as usual when it comes to television, zoned out, mystified by the moving pictures. It was partner figure skating ("patinaje" en espanol).
Every time the partners would do jumps or acrobatics like flipping upside down, Dante had this huge grin on his face. Like I've mentioned before, when Dante likes something, he just grins and screams/squeals at it. He did this earlier when he was attacking Lola (the dog) with his push-and-pop roll-y toy.
(Imagine a 2 yr old child traumatizing a 2 yr old puppy by aggressively and repeatedly ramming this toy into it as he laughs maniacally)
He grinned and laughed and squealed for a good half hour. Carlos, Rocio and I especially liked the Matrix routine (2 people dressed as The Matrix characters and skating to a soundtrack song) when the girl did a flip over the man (who was laying down) and was an inch away from spearing his forehead with her ice skate.
After watching happy ice skating for an hour or so, you could tell Dante felt much better.

Radio Segment TWO, Live tomorrow!
Tomorrow, at 1:40 or 1:45, you can hear me play LIVE on Radio San Vicente via a live stream on their website.
It is 6:40am Chicago time, TOMORROW Thursday Jan 28th.
Just go to http://www.radiosanvicente.com/programas.php?user=__public__
and there is a bar that says "escuchanos"(listen to us) and if you click there, a popup with the streaming radio comes on.
But remember, it will be at that time, so I would advise listening around 6:30am or so.
Even if you don't understand what is being said, I think you'll know what it is when the fluent spanish speaker stops talking and you begin to hear a slow, poorly spoken 6 minute segment.
Enjoy!

Pun intended?
One day I will get a picture of this, since the bus passes it on the way home from my internship...
Today I saw a place called "Cafe FEVER." Right above it was a doctor's office. I guess it's a precaution against those who get too much cafe fever.
