WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE

Pelayo Diaz, blogger from Spain 
Are you a big fan of Louis Vuitton?
Yeah. I’ve got good memories.
What do you mean? 
Like, for example, when I didn’t want to finish high school, my mom told me if I finished high school I could get whatever I wanted. And I said, okay, if I finish high school I want a Louis Vuitton suitcase. And she got it for me, and then I moved away.

Pelayo, your poor mother.

goddamnit.

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann said Thursday that she is the "hombre-ette" to represent voters in Washington.

Appearing in Columbia, South Carolina, Bachmann cast herself as "one little fighter."

"We need one strong hombre or hombre-ette, and I'm the hombre-ette to go and stand for you in Washington DC," Bachmann said. Earlier, when Bachmann referenced that she would be a woman in the White House if elected, a cheer went up from the audience.

Hombre is the Spanish word for man. The Spanish word for woman is mujer. (via)

nErD aLeRt!

Spanish architects Jose Selgas and Lucia Cano of Selgascano have designed an office for their own practice, located in the woods near Madrid in Spain. (dezeen)

nErD aLeRt!

The Zaragoza Bridge Pavilion is organized around 4 main objects, or “pods” that perform both as structural elements and as spatial enclosures. The Bridge Pavilion design stems from the detailed examination and research into the potential of a diamond shaped section - which offers both structural and programming properties. As in the case of space-frame structures, a diamond section represents a rational way if distributing forces along a surface.

NeRd aLeRt!

(by that i mean, every now and then someone's going to mention some architecture...you're gonna get hop-ons.)

1 year to design, 7 days to build.

Listos? Let's jump in...

English contains about twice as many words as does Spanish. In turn, Spanish contains about four times the amount of colloquial expressions as does English (Ebonics notwithstanding).

I’ll offer a number of expressions for the next time you find yourself conversing in the tongue of tongues…

To begin: “no tener pelos en la lengua”

Speaking of tongues, to “not have hairs on the tongue” is a familiar expression indicating a person who readily admits the first thing that comes to mind. This kind of individual lacks the friction on their palette that allows for any kind of verbal restraint. We all know the type…the correspondents on this blog, for example. Try the following: “Joel no tiene un pelo en la lengua!” Excellent – that’s one of the most apt observations you can make.

Now get out there and use your first words. Id con Dios!
