A Shark in Shallow Water: Heads and Tales

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010/02/heads-and-tales.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Friday, 12 February 2010. The Japanese call it fat finger syndrome. It has nothing to do with sumo wrestling but rather the keying errors made by financial traders under severe stress. A trader's number pad will have the usual keys 0-9. And also a couple of extra ones for 00. Can run to 15 figures. Unfortunately, these two extra keys, 00. And hit enter. Unfortunately you don't quite make a clean contact with the 00. We are human. It would be qu...

A Shark in Shallow Water: Off the Sphincter Scale

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010/02/off-sphincter-scale.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Sunday, 28 February 2010. Off the Sphincter Scale. Yes, my neighbourhood is a shithole. That was Friday. Then to make matters worse, we have an earthquake! The vast majority of Santiago is a complete eyesore. And, again. I'm talking pre- Earthquake 8.8. Post-quake, it's a little difficult to discern what is actual damage and what is just the natural state of this ugly city. It's still summer and well, I like to sleep naked. Steady ladies! Amigo ven...

A Shark in Shallow Water: Dogs and Camels

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2009/12/dogs-and-camels.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Tuesday, 8 December 2009. Sunglasses are essential during sunny weather. In Santiago, you need them pretty much all year round. While officially not summer here yet, the fact that there are more sunny days above 25°C than not, makes it summer in my book. Who take a break from drug dealing to scream heladoheladohelado. The third most notable effect is the increase in the amount of female flesh on display. Chilean women do not flirt with strangers (a...

A Shark in Shallow Water: October 2009

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Saturday, 31 October 2009. I was so close. The line was in sight and I dropped the baton. Although, I am disappointed, Im consoled by the fact that my actions may have inspired others to do the same, but I doubt it. I had almost cleared a whole calendar month without bawling at an idiotic Chilean. Not only did I fall off the wagon, I fell off and took out four of them in one fell swoop. Saturday, October 31, 2009. Links to this post. I dont like ly...

A Shark in Shallow Water: January 2010

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Thursday, 28 January 2010. How can you tell when a Chilean is lying? Their lips are moving. Im afraid not. The opinion of a belligerent Gringo? Well, yes. But also of the Chileans themselves. Chileans just dont trust Chileans. Thats more of a beer thing. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Links to this post.

A Shark in Shallow Water: March 2010

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Friday, 5 March 2010. Could all the dead people please take one step forward? Its all so surreal. Did it happen? Was it a bad, yet terribly exciting, dream? Ive just switched on the TV and theyre still. Talking about it. I officially have terremoto. Fatigue. Its been almost a week since The Quake that Shook Chile. As its being lazily dubbed by bloggers. Have they not been able to get back from their holiday destinations? No, no and hahahaha. Hello ...

A Shark in Shallow Water: Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble.......

http://asharkinshallowwater.blogspot.com/2009/12/sont-les-mots-qui-vont-tres-bien.html

A Shark in Shallow Water. The ramblings of an angry man. Sunday, 13 December 2009. Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble. Today is one of the saddest days in Chile's history. I say one of. Because the worst is yet to come. Today we begin our farewell to one of the greatest players in Chilean history since Bernardo O'Higgins, the Irishman who liberated Chile from the Spanish. Chile She has played her part by building and trying to maintain a cabinet of 50% women. She has been a working parent all her ...

Honorary Chilena: Gringa sin patria seeks loving home

http://honorarychilena.blogspot.com/2010/09/gringa-sin-patria-seeks-loving-home.html

Friday, September 3, 2010. Gringa sin patria seeks loving home. The trip was filled fun times and mishaps including a broken down car on La Panamericana and a stay at "un motel". The look on the employee face was priceless as he helped us jump start our tiny rented Kia inside the secret gates the next morning. My finace's, brother in law, and I had arrived close to midnight the night before and shared a room because the others were full. Imaginate que pensaba! September 3, 2010 at 8:38 PM. Personally, as...
