We look forward to see Andrew as a Drag Queen, of course, and maybe hooking up with a handsome guy? Who knows...

La joie de vivre est de retour

He is back in town. The man who saw the man who saw the bear is back. And we've missed him so much. Let us get together, drink and be merry.

La comadreja y la zarigueya

We had dinner last night and, as usual when conversation lingers for too long, we ended up discussing semantics. Or rather, zoological nomenclature. The thing is, in Argentina we call comadreja the marsupial (family Didelphidae) Chironectes minimus, which apparently in Spain is called zarigueya. By some unlucky coincidence comadreja is used by our European cousins to refer to Mustela nivalis, which is not a marsupial at all, but rather a carnivor of the order Mustelidae.
Thus, the question "are comadrejas marsupials?" has two answers: yes and no. And both are correct.

A night at Casino Royale

Last Saturday we hosted a Texas Hold'em poker night at Dryandra Palace. Dresscode was rich and famous, but some people that normally dress up for work came casual and some people that would barely use a suit to get married were very elegant.
The stakes were high to win the big prize (Fame and Glory - and a bottle of champagne) and eventually our friend and underdog David cleared the table of chips with his poker face and psychological warfare techniques, such as getting up every 2 minutes to check on Le Tour progress.
Anyway, many thanks for those who attended, shame on you for those who didn't and hail to the champion!
