welcome to the lazy intellectual where sometimes even punctuation is just too mu..

On January 2, 2007 I packed up a rented SUV with everything I owned and left New York City for an indefinite sabbatical to Buenos Aires, Argentina. No, I didn’t drive the whole way, just to my mother’s in Alabama, where my things are now nestled in various corners and nooks, wherever the re-used wine boxes would fit. I was over my job and really tired of the city (so I traded it for another huge city – love the irony, don’t hate the player) and I didn’t know what else to do but leave the country. It has long been a blinking link on my life list, to live in another country, and I felt the opportunity had finally presented itself.

A favorable exchange rate, an ill-fated rumor of mild weather, and a single good friend (who knows about 3,000 people world wide) pinned BsAs as my escape destination – also known as Operation Save Amy. (Many thanks to all who contributed fiscally and spiritually to the Save Amy Campaign Fund.)

I’ve learned a little spanish during my 8-month stay so far. I’ve lost weight and look fabulous. I taught english for exactly 5 weeks. I’ve traveled a little, partied a little (seriously, only a little). Oh, and I taught myself XHTML and CSS and designed and programmed this entire web site. So if it looks amateur, that’s because it is...

This site is somewhere between a scrap book, diary and photo blog in context and basically about my (and some others') experiences in Buenos Aires. This site is essentially a result of having too much time on my hands - god help us all.
