Meu dia de "M"

Falando em rir de si mesmo, renovei a carteira de motorista no ano passado, viajei e só fui tê-la em mãos há 15 dias. Surpresa ao detectar que no campo "sex" havia um "M", agendei uma visita ao departamento de trânsito. Foram duas semanas nas quais dirigi munida de passaporte e com discurso pronto para uma eventual abordagem da polícia. O trânsito aqui é péssimo e reúne os piores motoristas dos EUA, de acordo com o senso comum, e o risco de ser parado pela polícia pela mínima infração é grande.

Passadas as duas semanas, chego ao departamento de trânsito.

- Hello. I had received by mail my new driver license, but according with it, I`m a man.
Silêncio.
- Excuse me?
Silêncio.
A senhora olha para o lado e diz para a colega: "She is a man". A colega me olha escandalizada. A outra desata a rir e explica o erro.
- Tough day, the least we can do it`s laugh.
Aham, às minhas custas, no problem eu respondo (e penso comigo, lá se foi minha hora de almoço)
- You know, if you were a man, I would say that they did a god job. Are you married?
- Yes, with a man by the way.
Mais risos das duas.
Sorriso amarelo, decido interromper:
- I would like to be a donater.
Ela vira para o lado e diz: "She wants to be a donater". As duas desatam a rir de novo. Eu faço o meu olhar de "e?"
- You know, I`m wondering what you will donate. That part you don`t have since you are not a man.
Mais risos das duas.
Ok, aí tive que dar o braço a torcer e começar a rir também. Não da piada, que foi bem fraca, mas das duas loucas ganhando o dia às minhas custas.

About celebration

Today we watched Rachel is getting married . Regardless all the pain and familiar tragedy, the movie is also about the joy of celebration. And isn't it all about keep going despite whatsoever happens? The movie was directed by Jonathan Demme and starred by Anne Hathaway, who was Oscar nominated by her role.

Thoughts

About digital media - We listen so much about "social media strategies". I wonder if people really know what they are talking about. I`m still trying to figure it out. - Boring discuss about Journalism 2.0 here . About food I finally did my quinoa risotto with gorgonzola cheese . I decided to garnish it with a cherry tomatoes salad instead of adding tomatoes to the dish. It was a good idea. The result was an exquisite flavor. I served it with Sofia Rosé (my favorite), what can sound wired to wine snobs. But the wine, lightly sparkling and sweet and fruit, made a great match with the strong flavor of the cheese. Add some fresh grated black pepper and voilà. About weather Will it ever stop raining in Miami?
