The Power of Phil Collins
Argentina has 220v power, unlike the US, which runs 110v. (Don't ask me about watts).
So I went to get a power converter and ran into some real heat from the guy at the hardware store, probably because my Espanol is so effing muy malo. He was real cold right until I handed him my white PowerBook chord and he read "Designed by Apple in California."
"Schwarzengger?" He smiled.
"Si, es un Governator," I said.
"I once saw Phil Collins at how you say 'Candle Stick Park,'" he said. "In San Francisco."
"Cool."
"Is nice there."
"Si, si it is."
Bet it was a sick show.
Sidenote: Put 'Easy Lover' on your iPod right now. You never know when it will come in handy.
