Separated at birth: Peggy Hill and Sarah Palin

A brilliant move by the Republican candidate John McCain: Pick a running mate that looks just like King of the Hill’s housewife Peggy Hill. They have my vote. No, never mind. They don’t.
Thanks to Arthur Cherches for image.

How cool would it be to see a Diego and Dora TV ad for Absolut?

MacWallet Air

Thin is in, and even though I did not end up buying the fashionable MacBook Air (for now… ed.), I was able to shed a few millimeters in a different area.
You see,  I’ve always hated thick wallets and have always struggled to maintain my wallet thin. It’s comfortable and stylish, unlike my haircut. I just can’t stand the [...]

One of the advantages of having my own blog and writing about whatever pleases me (and pretend like I know something about the subject at hand), is that you can let other people know what sort of things you like. Last June I wrote about chocolate. This January, Daniela Totah and Eva Noyola each brought [...]

Family visit

As you can see in the photo, my parents and Moi were in town last weekend for Arturito and Debbie’s wedding. I will post something about that sometime in the future.

What do you think? Do I have a case?

Bad Medicine

This also means no fast for me for the first time since I’m 13 (which was like ten years ago). For [...]

Conga

This short video from Saturday’s Mexico Independence Day + Jeronimo Mota’s birthday. Being the only sober person in the premises (damn you antibiotics!) I ended up documenting the wedding-like conga line.

Freaky

So here I am, drawing a portrait of Aarón Kirsch (a.k.a. dad). I’m using photos as reference. I thought it’d be fun to draw (chubby face and really hard hair). I’m almost done sketching with a pencil, so I step back to take a look and to my surprise, it looks just like my brother [...]
