Ok this was embarrasing
We are working on a story involving native people in Mexico. So I needed to send an Email to proceso, one of the top political magazines. It took me literally ten minutes to compose an email in Spanish... my native tongue.
So, the obvious thing is I NEED PRACTICE... damn I really do. So converted my IPOD to a Spanish computer and started plotting a short piece of fiction that will be done in Spanish. It will take me longer than English, but damn I need the practice. That was well, very embarrassing.
Ten minutes. Damn!
And that story better NOT involve going down to Ensenada, there are way too many personal safety concerns on that one.
This is from August 5, and no primitives have expressed any concern for the oblate spheroid's dilemma.
One wonders the import of the last sentence.
Someone threaten to kidnap Vlada, or something?

She's worried that if the story "goes down to Ensenada," it'll get lost in a sewage treatment plant.

No, Nads. Gibberish is your native tongue. It translates just as poorly to Spanish as it does to English.

Yeah, those damn Zeta hit squads, always on the lookout for Double Naught Nads. Antonio Banderas' character in "Desperado" was loosely based on her, you know.
(Cue: mariachi version of James Bond theme)

Just one cotton-pickin' second...
I thought Nadin was some russ-ki mail order bride who escaped the GOOgLe-OG to join western civilization via Mexico, fought in five different wars, was a combat medic, historian, photo-gopher, rubixcube crosser/hairdresser, trend spotting skydiver...and a closeted Jew to boot?
Frank, am I mixing my Dumpmonkiez?

Many years ago my friends and I took a bus down to Ensenada for Memorial Day weekend. There were live chickens and goats on the bus with us.

Yeah, you are, sir, and it's my fault. I apologize.
A long time ago, I was always getting Vlada Mitty and the la_la_raw_raw primitive mixed up, and ascribed a past to Vlada that was, really, la_la_'s. And I did that over and over and over again; that's how you got the impression.
Again, my apologies.
Thanks to Charles Henrickson, JakeStyle, and others, I finally got my head screwed on the right way.
A recap for you, sir: Vlada, who is circa 45-48 years old, is of Polish Judaic derivation. In 1939, her grandparents and her father (then a little lad) tried getting out of there before the Nazis came. The Democrat president, the Democrat Congress, the Democrat Supreme Court, and the Democrat Department of State back then weren't too sympathetic to the plight of the Jews in eastern Europe, and they couldn't come here.
Like tens of thousands of other Jews, they still were lucky however (remember, millions weren't); they found a country willing to take them, Mexico. As odd as that might sound, Jews of the time ended up all over the world, any place that would take them--South Africa, Brazil, Fiji, Shanghai, Mauritius, Rhodesia, Argentina, &c., &c., &c.
Vlada Mitty's forebears prospered mightily in Mexico, where Vlada grew up as part of that 1% in that country--however, there remained a resentment that America (a Democrat America, remember) had rejected them, didn't care about them. That's the atmosphere in which little Vlada was raised, and goes a long way in explaining Vlada Mitty's oft-stated desire to see our decline and collapse.
That however doesn't stop Vlada from grabbing all she can get from us, from taking all she can, as quick as she can. She's for example enjoying more ease and comfort and security than what she'd have if she'd married a retired skipper of a submarine in the Mexican navy. She's a pig.

It's hilarious that nutcase nadin thinks she's fluent in English.
She really believes the misspelled word salads she posts at the DUmp are English.
But that's all good.
Can you imagine how offensive her pretentious, condescending arrogance would be if she could write intelligently?

This might be tougher than you'd think. The only way you could practice for this would be to buy something that has roughly the same dimensions as nads. I would suggest one of those oversized 46" beach-balls; then you can go around trying to stuff it into the trunks of various cars, until you find one that it fits into.
I'm thinking your best bet would be a U-haul, but then there is a paper trail.

That was my question as well. I mean its California for Gods sake. You can't swing a cat anywhere without hitting some sign in both English or Spannish. I'm thinking this is her way of saying "I'm to stupid to remember how to speake,read or write any language".

You know, I suddenly thought of something.
And that story better NOT involve going down to Ensenada, there are way too many personal safety concerns on that one.
The history books are chock-full of journalists braving peril and hazard, risking their very lives, to get stories.
Richard Harding Davis, Junius Wood, Robert St. John, and too many others to mention.
They ran great dangers to get their stories, and became famous because of it.
I think this would be good for Vlada Mitty's career advancement.

Well, what I'm thinking is that Vlada's so multi-skilled, so multi-talented--she even carries a knife around with her, for God's sake, and knows how to use it--that she'd have an easier time getting a story out of Ensenada than you or I would.
Hell, given all her expertise and experience, she'd probably get the story getting less harm done her than a Marine commando or Navy SEAL would.
I think the oblate spheroid should go down into Ensenada.
The world needs to know what's going on down there, and Vlada's the one who could bring the story in.
-
I thought about this during the middle of the night.
I think Vlada Mitty should go down into Ensenada, to find out what's happening there and write about it.
I know nothing about "Ensenada," but I'm guessing it's a lawless area of Mexico, run by the mafia or something.
franksolich did something similar during the early and mid-1990s, when he went to the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants. No rule of law, rampant corruption, decay and rot, people going hungry, rip-roaring inflation, infrastructure all broken down, rampant crime and murder, firearms and bombs ubiquitous, mayhem, blood and guts and shit all over the place.
And I stayed there one month shy of two years.
Never mind why--I don't regret I did it, but I wouldn't do it again--the "why" was covered first by the newspapers of eastern Nebraska at the time, and and the "why" has since been explained in the Sandhills forum here. Suffice it to say I was bored, and sought excitement.
Anyway, having done something similar, I can understand Vlada's fears, but at the same time I think she can do it. After all, she has certain advantages franksolich didn't have in his own adventure.
To wit:
Intelligence
-Vlada insists she's smarter than God, franksolich insists only that he's smarter than Atman
Hearing
-Vlada yes, franksolich no; utterly deaf
Access to [or the Ability to Use] Telephonic, Radio, and Internet Communication
-Vlada yes, franksolich no
Knowledge of the Language
-Vlada yes, franksolich, absolutely no idea
Knowledge of the Lay of the Land
-Vlada yes (she was born in Mexico after all), franksolich no
Financial Resources
-Vlada yes, franksolich went with $187 tucked in his pocket, and no way to get any more
Relatives in the Country Who Could Bail One Out of Trouble
-Vlada yes, franksolich no
Relatives in the United States Who Could Bail One Out of Trouble
-Vlada yes, franksolich no
Knowledge and Expertise in Self-Defense
-Vlada yes, franksolich none whatsoever
Well, I lasted 23 months despite those disadvantages; surely Cub Reporter Vlada Mitty could survive Ensenada long enough to get a news story, and the subsequent fame and fortune that comes when one's willing to hazard perilous long-shot risks, and succeeds.
I really think Vlada should go and get that story, whatever it is, down in Ensenada; it'd surely give her more material than what she gets covering the San Diego city council or hippies protesting a nuclear power plant.

I think she'd be relatively safe, what with being such a small target.
Guys in drug shootouts, holding their pistols horizontal to the ground, aren't marksmen.

I also thought of two other things, Vlada in Ensenada and franksolich in the anarchistic torn-apart socialist paradises:
Foreknowledge of Risks
-Vlada's acutely aware of the risks associated with going down into Ensenada, and can take precautionary measures so as to avoid, or at least, ameliorate those hazards
-franksolich had no idea, no idea at all, what he was going into; it was all a total surprise to me, and of course not aware of the perils, I hadn't taken any precautionary or pre-emptive measures, having instead to deal with things as they abruptly popped up out of nowhere
That should make Vlada Mitty more comfortable with covering a story in Ensenada.
Personal Vulnerability
-Vlada is a woman, and being a woman presents complications. No matter how "strong" or formidable or repulsive a woman is, simply by being a femme one's exposed to dangers and perils men don't have to deal with
-franksolich is deaf, which makes one a sitting duck to everyone coming my way
It might then seem more dangerous for Vlada Mitty than for franksolich, but I beg to differ. Even if one is a fully-grown, fully developed, member of the male species, one might as well be a paralytic parked in a wheelchair.
You know, I'm excited about the prospects of Vlada going down into Ensenada to get a story; if franksolich could do what he did, surely Vlada with her much greater intelligence and wits, and all the abovementioned advantages not had by myself, she should do pretty good, coming back to Skins's island to glory and revel in the accolades of the primitives (and we decent and civilized people) for having undertaken such an adventure, and succeeded.
I can hardly wait for when she announces she's going down into Ensenada.
-
I've been deceived.
I never bothered checking "Ensenada," because given the tone of Vlada Mitty's remarks, I just assumed it was a dangerous place, probably dominated by the Mexican mafia or something, rampant crime and civil breakdown and unrest.
I just assumed that.
Only minutes ago, I nadined "Ensenada."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensenada,_Baja_California
WTF?
It sounds like San Diego South.
Why would Vlada insinuate it's a dangerous place to go?
Damn.
If going down into Ensenada presents a dangerous challenge to Vlada Mitty, probably she's scared shitless to merely tie her shoes when she puts them on.

I can't believe it.
From the way Vlada made hints about Ensenada, I'd automatically assumed it was a bad place, with crime lords and war lords gunning it out all day long, and that it's not a good idea to be a mere civilian caught in between them.
Well.
For nadinbrzezinski to retain franksolich's respect, she's got to go cover a story in a truly dangerous place in Mexico.

I suspect the only geography Vlada Mitty really knows is Mexico City, a road-map of San Diego, and maybe Israel, as she allegedly worked on a kibbutz there.
I'm still pissed off about what I found out about Ensenada; from the oblate spheroid's inference, I'd thought it was a dangerous place. If Ensenda's a dangerous place, then Vlada must shake in her boots at the prospect of covering a story in Disneyland or the toy department at Macy's in Manhattan.
I'd thought Ensenada was one of those places down in Mexico where the drug lords, the war lords, and the crime lords are fighting it out, where there's been tons of decapitated bodies and lynched bodies stacked in heaps.
That's the sort of place Cub Reporter Vlada should go and cover, so as to make a name for herself in journalism. My own knowledge of the geography of Mexico is rather sketchy--Mexico's never been one of those things that rocked my chair, rowed my boat, or pushed my buttons--and so I'm not sure where one finds such a place.
I'm also surprised that Vlada doesn't mention Tijuana, just blocks away from where she lives in San Diego; if she's got no fears for her safety in Tijuana, why she's so scared at the prospect of Ensenada escapes me.
