Last night, my parents and I watched the Atlanta Braves game on the telly. They won in extra innings. Oh, yeah. My mum was really happy about that. But they're still 8.5 games behind in the east. They have to like, win the rest of the games of the season and have the Mets lose or something to get into the playoffs. ha!
It rained nearly everyday this week, except for yesterday. And it feels like it is cooling off. I'm so glad. The heat just tires me out. This morning when I woke up, it was 78° F. Definitely cooler than most mornings this summer, when it was hovering around 84°.
Glad it is finally the weekend. Tomorrow, Sept. 16, is when Mexico celebrates its independence from Spain. But the actual celebration begins tonight. So, it is going to be a long night...
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND =)

The other day, I watched my first Torchwood episode. Pretty good. And I've been watching Doctor Who now for about three weeks. I ♥ David Tennant. He is amazing! I only hate waiting till Saturday before being able to watch him =( Oh well. At least it makes the week go by quicker having Torchwood on Tuesdays, right before Supernatural.
My mother had another slip. This time she sprained her ankle. But it wasn't too bad of a sprain. She is starting to walk a bit. She's just been lying around, reading and watching movies. She has been reading more than me, which is unusual. I'm still reading I Capture the Castle. I'm enjoying it, but have had little time to read lately.
My "date" with Miguel went okay. The thing is, even though I feel totally comfortable talking with him, sometimes I find myself unable to express what I really want to say. And I'm not talking about just feeling shy. With him, I speak Spanish and my Spanish is not 100%. Even though I have lived here for about 11 years. My first language is English. I only learned to read Spanish here in Mexico. (I could speak it okay before our move). And I'm still pretty slow at it. The only times I actually speak Spanish is when I'm with the few friends I have made here or with my mum. Even when I was working, it was mostly in English. My friend Norma tells me my Spanish is fine, but I'm still timid about speaking it. I know I have to work at it. When ever I watch TV or a movie, I force myself to read the subtitles. Though sometimes, the subtitle is totally off. I hear one thing and the translation is something totally different. And it takes away from watching the action on screen. Especially when Jensen Ackles or David Tennant are on =)

I was finally able to get my copy of Harry Potter's 7th book. Yeah, I know it has been over a month since it came out but things are kind of slow down here. It takes awhile. I shall probably read all weekend. What is left of it, anyway. It's been kind of hard, being one of the few who hasn't read it.
The weather here has been nice for the past two days. But on Thursday, it rained the entire day. Parts of downtown were flooded. Nothing major, but it was a bit of a problem getting around.
Watched my second episode of Doctor Who. I just love it. I can't believe I haven't seen it till now. It is a great show.

The book I am currently reading is Agatha Christie's The Man in the Brown Suit. It has been awhile since I read it, at least three years, so I don't remember all of it. I just finished The Hollow, also by AC. I love that one. I love how it takes place in the fall and how she describes the English countryside.

My mum is doing good. She's a bit sore, but is feeling much better.

I remember the autumn days back in California. We lived in Northern Cal. Between Sacramento and Reno, Nevada. The foothills. And every September, when the leaves began to change colours, people would visit and take pictures. Awesome shades of reds and yellows.
Anyway, life here is different. I'm still living in a tourist town. Only now, instead of trees and grassy hills, its sand and surf.
