Arctic conditions prevail here in São Paulo, as the temperature drops below 15 degrees with worrying regularity, and some branches are blown off trees - cue mass stockpiling of canned goods and a pronounced boom in the eiderdown industry. Our next-door neighbour is playing "Let It Go" from Frozen on a loop, although to be fair he was doing that before the cold snap, presumably to calm his hyperactive child.
I've been channeling my inner Ryan Gosling by driving most every day, so far without incident; on Friday we went to a karaoke bar in Liberdade, SP's Chinatown, for Taynah's surprise birthday bash, which was most amusing (plus I finally got to sing "Kiss" after literally hours of lobbying the karaoke ringmaster); and today is our wedding anniversary so we're off somewhere fancy for dinner. Thanks for your e-mails and pics!
I have made another compilation - less "angry" than the last one, by popular request - and have another saying for you to mangle: "dar uma de joão sem braço" means to "give it the old Johnny-no-arms", i.e. feign ignorance (or a lack of arms) to get out of an unwanted task. It also explains one of the all-time-great Carnaval costumes earlier this year.
That will be all for now; blog dismissed.
