Fuenteovejuna did it

Years ago I used to do telephone customer service. I heard a co-worker shouting into the phone at a hard-of-hearing customer trying to ascertain which part they were looking for:

“IS IT SHALLOW?”

Upon hearing that, a flamboyant co-worker said, “somebody must be talking about me again?”

I always remember that moment. There were many good ones.

The flamboyant “shallow” coworker ended up moving to Atlanta. I thought that was appropriate. 😁

From where could it be?

“If you are drunk, eat somewhere else.”

I very much enjoy digging up offbeat news from around the world.

This one’s about a Cuban film festival in Ecuador. I would love to see them all. To be in Ecuador watching Cuban movies would be total glory.

In my twenties when I was hanging out in Guadalajara (MX) more, I went to movies all the time. I saw lots of Russian movies, Cuban, and many from eastern Europe that just weren’t showing in the USA.

Also while there. I went to a 24-hour horror movie festival where you got an armband and could come and go as you pleased for a whole day.

Also saw Ghostbusters. Los Cazafantasmas.

This bubbles up in my head sometimes.

I was waiting with someone in a hospital ER cubicle, and this old man was wheeled into the one next to us.

The nurse asked the man, “can I get you something to drink?”

He said in a baritone voice, “yes, milk.”

I thought to myself, “that’s GD nasty.” It hit me as really odd that night.

Sky over production plant looking pretty. They are hard to see in the pic, but there are cute birds perched atop several of the ripples in the roof.
