How to Eat for Free (and Safely) in Peru

June 10, 2007 admin0 comment

On weekends I like to visit the Metro and stock up on things like snacks and tea. I grab a cheap lunch there as well since they have many little booths of food. Today I went to the good ol’ Chinese food booth. For 4 soles (around $1.25), I had… Read more“How to Eat for Free (and Safely) in Peru”

On Thursday Bob was sick and had to run errands rather than have field school class as usual so I went with him. As for the students there was supposed to be a tour of downtown Lima. While riding a cab with Bob, zipping around Pueblo Libre, we got a… Read more“Even My Backup Plans Have Backup Plans”

On Monday, the museum we were to work at, the National Museum of Anthropology, Archaeology, and History, had a special occasion: they were celebrating the deathdate of Julio C.

Sunday was spent recovering from the trip to Chupacigarro/Caral, but we did have another adventure in the city as well.

Tonight at the Villa Rica, I wanted to go to an internet cafe and surf the internet a little before turning in for the night. I asked the hostel night staffer downstairs where the nearest one was. He offered to show us (Beckie was there too) so we left the… Read more“omgwtfbbq”

Todo está bien

May 31, 2007 admin0 comment

I am posting this from a rather dirty internet cafe in Lima, Peru. I had a whole post written but my PC running Windows 98 wouldn´t read it. When I get it to work somehow, this will be replaced by a harrowing account of travelling from St. Louis to Lima… Read more“Todo está bien”

We Have a Winner!

May 24, 2007March 20, 2010 admin0 comment

Fellow cartoonist Winter told me about Inkscape, an open source vector program. It does everything I use in Illustrator, but for free! I whipped up a traced image with a speech balloon in around ten minutes using it for the first time. I am definitely impressed. {I traced an old… Read more“We Have a Winner!”

Trying New Things

May 20, 2007March 20, 2010 admin0 comment

My exploration into cheaper programs for comic making has been mostly fruitful. Running GIMP via X11 works very well.

A few months ago I invested some of my savings in the stock market. My portfolio is a whopping 5 shares in several different companies. I’d rather not divulge too much about my financial information on the internets but I’ll toss out a tidbit: one of my companies is Apple…. Read more“Soy! Soy!”
