May showers...
I'm not sure about other parts of the world, but it's been raining like crazy down here in Guatemala. May has seriously been an extremely wet month, specially the last two weeks, when it pretty much rained every day... and it's not soft rain, when it rains down here, it pours...
My ankle is doing better, I stopped wearing the air cast about two weeks ago, and started going to therapy three times a week. The therapy is almost a blessing in disguise, since I have to leave work around 5:40 PM at the latest to make my appointment, so there's no excuse for staying late. I can walk without any problems, but I'm probably about a week away from playing basketball again... though we do have a game this Saturday, which I'm debating if I should go or not.
Last weekend was lots of fun... we got together with some friends for lunch over at a friend's house. I wasn't sure if I was going, since I didn't feel that great, I had a cold / cough thing going. Anyways, I did end up going, and I must say it was a blast... at the end, someone brought "Dance, Dance Revolution", that PS2 game where there's a mat and you follow the steps the game tells you to do (you may have seen this game at your local arcade, with kids dancing to some techno / electronica music). The girls ended up dancing for hours on that thing, and there was only one guy who tried it... and it wasn't me! Afterwards, we headed to this new club called "Tantra" and drank the night away, with some Portuguese guy one of my friends knew picking up the tab for all of us... wooohooo!!! Free alcohol rocks!
Work wise, things are still as hectic as always... we had this activity planned on Tuesday to reward the best vendors at the company, an event attended by pretty much the entire company. I was scheduled to go, but because of some "crisis", I was asked to stay behind and finish some project... hooray for me! Still not sure about my future here...
Movies that I've recently seen include "The Family Stone" (didn't like it that much, but Mom wanted to watch it), "Lord of War" (which I highly recommned, very entertaining), and "The DaVinci Code" (went to see it purely for entertainment reasons, as a fictional movie). Next on my list, X-Men III, which apparently did really good business over Memorial weekend in the US. The one movie I can't wait to come out is "Nacho Libre", which stars Jack Black as a priest with an orphanage, who happens to fight in Mexican style wrestling matches at night... too funny!
Can't believe that the World Cup is only 9 days away... let's hope Netherlands has a good run (they're my favorite team, since Guatemala has never made it, at an early age I had to pick a second favorite team to root for, and the dutch have won my appreciation and affection since I was young). Arriba Mecanica Naranja!!! Of course, I'm also rooting for Costa Rica, since I have to support other Central American teams... speaking of Central America, Carlos Ruiz has six goals on the young MLS season, and his goals keep getting better and better (back to back goals of the week). Bosox are still in first place, the Heat are leading the Pistons, so as far as sports goes, I'm a happy man.
Hope all my friends / family are doing ok... saludos a todos!

P.S. Have any of you listened to the World Chart Show on the radio? They play it here every weekend, sorta like Casey Casem's Top 40.

good to hear you are doing better. its about time you come out of that cast. its hard to watch movies with anyone here, people are so picky with a passion. almost with a fanatic reason for watching or not watching a certain movie.
yeah ok, "Mecanica Naranja". hahaha. never makes it through though. Who won the world cup 5 times? HMMMMM? I mean does anyone comes second with 4 titles? Not even... hahaha. The "Canaries Team" will whoop that orange machine.
