Choosing a Baby Name in Buenos Aires
July 5, 2006 | Filed Under Argentina | No Comments
“What do you mean we can’t choose any name we want?” I asked my
girlfriend. “Well, we have to check the official name list and make
sure it’s an allowable name,” was her response to my perplexed look.
I never expected something like this but, the hubby wasn’t totally surprised. It seems that France has the same rule.
So that was how I found out that here in Buenos Aires, you have to
choose from an official list of names for your new addition. I was
panicked thinking that we would be limted to a short list of names, but
upon checking the official government of of Buenos Aires Nombres list, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the list is actually quite long and comprehensive.
There are several rules that govern the name list and also allow for some leeway for foreigners.
– The list is meant to prevent names that are outlandish, ridiculous,

THE RULES OF ADDICTION
One in a series of tango poems by Astrid
The rules of addiction:One: you keep doing itTwo: every time you do it you feel happyThree: it turns your life upside down but you don’t care.
Today I wrote of bloody feetAnd undone laundryAnd family being neglectedTo woman who begged to knowHow do you take out your garbagehow do you dustAnd how do you washWhen you’re a dancer andA member of Tango-L?
I don’t, I answeredYou are rightWe just dance.
She asked:“Is chasing that tango momentout of desperationto fill the emptiness inour heart?
“Yes”, I said.
“Or is it a way to order our livesSo that we can do something thatInspires usMakes us each smileAnd the laundry be damned?”
“Yes”, I said.Read what Cherie wrote in Buenos Aires:“During my stay I didn’t shopor sleep or eat exceptoccasionallynaps andfood on the run, and I lived on wine.At midnight I would wrap my feetAnd pad my toes […]

Mammy! Look at ‘em ol’ guys go!
My money was on Spain…but my heart was with la belle France during the octavos. But I never, never, never thought they’d knock down Brasil tambien!
It’s been a fun copa.
Of course, my darling esposa porteña swears (in her best Chicagoese) that the fix is in for the home team.
…no te deja, no te deja de alentar…

Futbol Hangover (part 2)
Well…
…maybe I’ll get a little more work done than I would have otherwise.
All that I’m gonna say about yesterday is: I’m very proud of our selección and I would have loved to have seen more of Riquelme and some of Saviola and Messi.
It’s been an exciting cup.
