cabos sueltos

Only a few personal projects left to finish up:

Halloween Party. This will be epic. La Plata will have its long-overdue costume party.

"Album" of original music. This will be epic. I have most of the songs recorded and will most likely be able to lay down the rest of the tracks in time to have a "CD release" mini-concert at our Halloween Party.

Project of academic importance. Pending... I found a book a while back that (oh no!) says everything I wanted to learn about my research topic. The other day, a friend gave me the (obvious) idea that I should translate the book. It would be an easy enough translation project to do, and the book is new enough that there isn't an English language version out yet. The author's from Buenos Aires, but the book was published posthumously by her parents. My hope is that I can find her parents and pitch the idea of translating the book. With under 2 months of Fulbright-ness left, I can at least get started on it and have all the contacts in place before getting home.

On all fronts, my epic friends here have inspired me to go further with my projects than I would have on my own. How Fulbrighty.
