Pachucoville: Sedona, AZ., Airport Mesa Vortex

http://pachucoville.blogspot.com/2014/06/sedona-az.html

Sedona, AZ., Airport Mesa Vortex. I flew to Phoenix, got a rental, and drove to an Air BnB condo. Within in 4 days of deciding to go. Something was just pulling me, yelling at me to GO. Upon arriving at Phoenix and getting my car, I wanted to stop in at Carolina's. It was very good. I got the Sure o burrito, cuz well, I am from So. Cal. I felt good. Maybe it was the higher elevation; maybe the clean air; maybe the adrenaline of being on my first trip all alone; maybe the beauty of the landscape all a...

Pachucoville: May 2011

http://pachucoville.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Another semester in the can. It was a good one. Six classes altogether making me drive from the 405 to the 605. Lots to read still and grade, but the hardest part is over. My culture classes had final projects. I gave extra points if they did videos and posted them on Youtube. So here are some of the best so far. I have another batch coming in this week. I had them view lots of videos from Hennessy Youngman. ASCO, Harry Gamboa Jr. Guillermo Gomez Pe a. Funnier and great camera work. A star is born.

Pachucoville: February 2011

http://pachucoville.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Mujeres de Maize Annual Month Long Celebration of Women. For the last 14 years Mujeres de Maize. An Eastside Xicana collective of artivistas, has organized a month of events that celebrate the power, creativity and beauty of being women. Each year more and newer faces respond to the call and share in many of the variety of planned activities. This is not just for women, men should be at these events to bare witness, listen and learn. I've been a fan for many years. Links to this post. Like Loghner who sh...

Gozechando: April 2011

http://gozechando.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them." - Paulo Coelho. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Tickling tummies, Growing leaders. Every time I walk into our humble little space, it amazes me to see how quickly things are growing, expanding and sprouting. The kids have noticed as well and are always excited to run over to the garden to take note of any new progress with the strawberries or apple tree. Exclaiming "I can show them! And each grabbed a couple of the younge...

Reflections on my very first trip to Italy What is the point of traveling anywhere anyway? Why I Celebrate Columbus Day →. September 8, 2013 · 8:02 pm. Beans on shaved ice and chile on fruit. Shaved Ice Azuki Beans. I’ve always been a California girl – I literally do not remember a time in my life when tacos, pad thai and sushi weren’t part of my basic diet. Since moving to LA, my eating has only gotten more adventurous. Mangoneada – Chamoy is kind of like the li hui ming powder of Mexico. My boyfriend a...

Pachucoville: March 2012

http://pachucoville.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Late last summer I saw that some of my friends were in a group called 213 FB Hikers. The leaders of the group encourage everyone to push themselves to their limit, to work it! 213 FB Hikers rock! Links to this post. Labels: 213 FB Hikers. Film Review: "Casa De Mi Padre" A Mexican film that happens to have Will Farrell in it. When I saw an early trailer to "Casa De Mi Padre,". Effects, bad editing, stiff or over the top acting, beautiful women and of course the cold machos and the sensitive machos. An...

Pachucoville: family death whine

http://pachucoville.blogspot.com/2012/11/family-death-whine.html

This is the first holiday season I will have with both my parents dead. Our ancestors knew that the line between the living the dead was thinnest at this time of year because everything in nature is dieing. Getting ready for the dead of Winter before the rebirth of Spring, right? That is why we have Day of the Dead and All Souls Day, etc., cuz they are right here, near. This weekend Grandma Teddy invited me to her house for Thankstaking. I can't say no. We are both only children and share that bo...I shu...

Pachucoville: March 2011

http://pachucoville.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Last night my uncle Mike, Miguel Estrada joined my mother, his big sister, in the afterlife. At 3:30 in the morning he had a third and final heart attack. This is all my father told me over the phone earlier today. He also told me there would be no services. A month after my mom passed two years ago this August, my tio Chayo and month later my tia Rosa both on my father's side passed. My dad had a rough year in '09. Readers here know I try to make sense of my life in writing about these things of life.
