So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I am waiting for a flight. I managed to order something like a Fanta and two empanadas of different types. The orange soft-drink is a particular victory for me because I managed to say in Castellano, "Do you have something like a Fanta?" The result was close enough to a Fanta, by all accounts. Buenos Aires had put me in a bad mood, as usual. It wasn't really the fault of the city as much as it was the fault of the world-- the world was so globalized that everything looked the same, and it annoyed me to travel so far to find that nothing had changed. So I had sat staring morosely out of the bus window, looking at the same goddamn weeds growing out of the same goddamn sidewalks, and the same goddamn trash choking the same goddamn waterways, stretching in brown mundanity towards the vast brown sea. Then I'd fallen asleep. In the airport I'd had to run the gauntlet of the duty free shop, with its perfumes, cognacs, and Oakleys. It isn't difficult: I am immune to luxury items. Especially when they are the same goddamn luxury items in every airport, across the world, with no variation. The super-sized Toblerone pyramids are an exception. I am always tempted by Toblerone. But my will was strong. I bought two normal chocolate bars, and my delight at following the conversation with the cashier in Castellano momentarily distracted me from the math of conversion and before long it dawned on me that I'd spent $8 on a chocolate bar. A Milka, no less. Did they import the goddamn thing from Germany directly? The wrapper is printed in German, so that could be precisely what they did. Inside the terminal someone has parked a brand new Fiat on a pedestal under a string of lights, as if a Fiat could ever be desirable. The television is tuned to "soccer news", because soccer players have been the only personages of note to come from Argentina since it was founded. The Argentinians as a people can best be described as either stylish Americans or fat Spaniards. Every man in Argentina is handsome, even the ugly ones. The old ones in particular, of the sport-coat-wearing, loafer-sporting variety, gaze out at the world from beneath dark, expressive eye brows, and every one of them could be The Most Interesting Man in the World. The women run the gamut on the thin side of average-looking, but the production quality that goes into their hair is unparalleled in all of the New World. Many of them are fair, which seems disconcerting in South America. I finish my orange soda. My mood has improved ever-so-slightly. Argentina doesn't deserve my scorn any more than any other godforsaken country on the planet. Time to board a plane. 6 Comments. Gotta admit, Fiat is really trying its darndest to seem hip and sexy to consumers. I've seen all those duty-free shops at the airports I've been to. I didn't realize they were the same everywhere, thought it was maybe an American thing. That's... sort of funny, even if it's disappointing. » randomjunk on 2015-12-17 03:13:20 Sorry, the Time Capsules are for me only. Just a way to be able to look back and see what I was thinking. But yeah, everything is doodoo but it's not really all that bad. I've had worse. Thanks! » middaymoon on 2015-12-17 11:00:09 RE Wow you are jaded! » middaymoon on 2015-12-21 03:25:06 Stinkin' Ares. » middaymoon on 2015-12-24 11:25:14 Aires* ahaha » middaymoon on 2015-12-24 11:25:24 I joined Total Woman! I spend a pretty significant chunk of my free time there, I guess, but I have a lot of free time, haha. Not feeling super toned yet, but it's only been about a month. I do feel somewhat stronger, though, and it's helped my sleep schedule become more regular. » randomjunk on 2015-12-29 11:56:16
