the coriolis effect

class and whatnot. the most salient aspect of which being all these professors´ whiteboard (no blackboards anywhere) handwriting is atrocious. (have I said this already?) aTROcious.

Tonight saw the movie Lugares Comunes, which was showing as part of an Iberoamerican film festival at U Catolica. Thoroughly shredding my confidence in Spanish, the film was made in Argentina. So there was a different accent, on top of the fact it was a pretty talky movie. Its depressing, I can tell you that. But not much else....
And though I should have learned my lesson before (did I think it would be better on chicken than hotdog?) I ordered a sandwich Italiano. Aside from the way too much mayo, it was definitely bigger than my face:-)
Yep, no brilliant observations on Chilean life. (trying to slog through 19th century oligarchic power dynamics, or some such). A lot of even middle class families have nannys. or housekeepers here, which from general survey the Americans find strange. Its different, but bad? Dan points out that a lot fewer people eat out here, and its probably better work than the waiters salaries in the states, depending.
