I’m taking a break. Well, not from blogging, mind you, but from blogging about life-changing things like love. Well, that’s not even exactly true. As you’ll see in my first foray into vlogging from Chile, I quite love empanadas.
So does Jesus, who hangs rather menacingly above my bed in my host family’s apartment. Yes, it would seem they’re Catholic. Surprise!
And actually, I think the Lord made me nervous. (This isn’t my best vlog ever…) So in the case you want to save three minutes of your life, I’ll summarize the other points I touched upon besides my love of Chilean baked goods: it’s still kind of chilly here (it’s chilly in Chile, LOL!); Chileans seem to like it that way; and, perhaps most unsurprisingly, I’m a huge nerd.
And on that note, I’ll go back to conjugating verbs. Enjoy!

I’m never able to take Spanish seriously, just because of those inverted exclamation points and question marks…
I’m at work so I had to watch that vlog with the sound off. Sorry. I’ll check it out later on. Anyways, totally off topic from Chilean food, but did you hear about that gigantic blue light that appeared over Moscow last week? It seems like something you’d be interested in. Just google ‘Moscow UFO’ or ‘Moscow cloud’ and I’m sure it will come up.
Also, I think your hair looks super cute like that. That’s the look for you.
You’re a hot mess of deliciousness. 🙂 … :-\ Too Soon?
I forgot to add that your eyes are like two globes carved from shimmering sapphire…
Ben — the inverted punctuation is my favorite part. ¡Ay!
TMS, Buddy — ¿Who knew talking with my mouth full of meat, um, could be so becoming? (.That’s right, I’m doing double punctuation on all my sentences now, no matter what the language.)
Double punctuation and double entendres.
It’s a theme.
Ay-yay-yay.
You would probably like to see me and ‘Buddy’ — assuming that both of us are actually real people and not the e-inventions of either yourself or your friends — fight to the death for your attention, just like rams on a mountain or Spock and Kirk in that one episode of Star Trek where they hit each other with giant Q-Tips. But, as with fighting fish and said rams, we’d exhaust each other’s nerdery and some Chilean dude with a can of beans would probably ride in and sweep you off your feet. So sad. So sad.
This sounds interesting. Can I sell tickets?
That Jesus would make anyone nervous. Are you sure that’s not Jesús?
Good call. Jesús says hi. He also apologizes for not being able to make it to #pbandtuna. He was balls deep in mass. Or something.
Was that Carlos Vives in the background? Say hi to Jesus for me.
Indeed it is Carlos Vives! The Lord says, “¡Hola!” by the way.
Just got a chance to actually listen to your Vblog… hmnn, guess I shoulda done that first. Anyways, where is this post from the dude who called you a ‘tool’? If he took the time to post an insult on a traveler’s blog who was just talking about the local cuisine he must be a big sissy with issues.
(if i misunderstand your tweet feed on the side please ignore)
Um, I misunderstood the comment. He was talking about something else entirely, but my narcissism was like, “OH HELL NO!” But in my defense, it was rather ambiguous. It’s on my post about my first day in Chile.
Ok. Stay cool.
Cute headband. I got nothing else.
¡Hey, at least it’s something!
