Sorry, I've been a very bad blogger of late. I've had a touch of homesickness combined with head cold (no doubt the former was somewhat caused by the latter) which has made me unmotivated to blog. But today I'm back on track, I managed to get up for my morning walk (its been raining the past few mornings - good for the crops, bad for my mornings) my head is clear and I have some blogging to catch up on.
First, saw my hummingbird again last night. Almost caught a photo of it because my camera was on me but it makes a sound when I turn it on which caused him to flit away. One of these days I'll catch him...
Anyway...so Monday was the Miss Universe pageant. Bet you didn't even know. It was a pretty big deal here. That and Miss World too...I didn't know that there was a difference. Bollywood's most famous export (in my opinion), Aishwarya Rai, won one of them years ago, and a few other Bollywood actresses have too. Apparently if you win you are all but guaranteed a career as an actress.
Apparently a win is seen really as a win for India and its people (at least from my impressions). People are quite proud if the Indian wins.
I think it is interesting how something that is seen as kind of frivolous in one country can bring a great sense of pride to another.
Anyway, the Indian girl this year didn't win, the girl from Venezuela did. Too bad for India, but good for Venezuela I suppose.
