SANTIAGO — Once again, Chilean students have taken to the streets to protest the…
Almost Well-Read: Almost cold-blooded
by Felipe Muñoz All right, so I’ve been MIA- if by MIA, you mean trapped under the snow in Magallanes, which is what happened to me. I was trapped, in Punta Arenas. “Did you have awesome adventures?” I can hear you asking. “Did you get to do awesome stuff?” you insist, understandably, because I usually do. [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost not Well-Read
Every week, among the avalanche of female underwear and love letters I get in the form of reader mail, I always manage to find one or two asking me about all kinds of current political issues; “When will you do education?” they ask, “When will you speak about sexual equality?” they insist, “When will you [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost the whole week
Yesterday was FIDOCS opening night. That’s a pretty culture-y thing to tell you guys about. You should totally check it out, and not only because it may make you more interesting (it probably won’t) but also because it may make girls find you more interesting, which is also kind of a longshot but come on, [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost Guachaca
We Chileans are a funny culture; one that deserves a closer look more often than not. Paradoxical and sometimes rather idiotic, like every other culture we have as many vices as we have virtues and we have as many lies as we have truths. We’re very good at getting any of those mixed up at [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost Fantastic
If you’re anything like me, this last New Year’s Eve, instead of going to Viña or wherever with your boring friends, you went to Industria Cultural and saw Cut Copy, the Australian band we’ve all come to love. Then, if you’re anything like me, maybe you walked up to them, asked for a pic and [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost too Busy.
One of the hazards of having a once-per-week column is that, many a times, a writer will have experienced more than a single event per week that’s worthy of attention. Many more, if your life is as full of parties and bungee jumping and millions of girlfriends as mine. Last week was one of those [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost a Geek
As you may or may not know, I was sent on a task last weekend. A task which required me to channel all of my cool, lest I forsake it in a charge towards all that is not. That’s right dearest reader; I went to Comic-Con. The Chilean version, anyways. It’s funny how that works, [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost Satisfied
Ok. Last week, at a certain paper which name I will withhold in order to protect myself from retaliation, a list was made. A list that was primarily (read: the whole point, really) about restaurant recommendations. I had been considering myself to do something like it for a while now, so I was very happy [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost Soul Crushing
Ok, so you did not heed my advice. You did not go to see Christina Rosenvinge last Thursday. That means I now get to say “It was so good omg yadda yadda yadda you wish you were there brag brag brag” and I would. Trust me, I totally would. But I feel like trying a [...]
Almost Well-Read: Almost too happy an ending
This past weekend was full of events. It was Disney weekend and so, not only did we get the girls marrying princes and bad guys getting killed, there was also April 29th. If you’ve been paying attention, you’d have noticed how I recklessly recommended two different events for that day: Jamiroquai and Tunacola & Whale. [...]
