"84,000 different delusions meet me down at the bar"

[larryhammer]

It is somewhat startling to realize that my reading comprehension is better in German than in Spanish. I've always thought of Spanish as my second, or at least sesquiunitary, language -- having at one point been halfway to fluent. Clearly, it's time to start watching telenovelas again. Any recommendations among the current crop on Telemundo and Univision?

In return, I offer link baba ghanoush:

• Unsettling Okinawan proverbs.
  
  
• Six tips for introverted travelers. (via)
  
  
• Art created by creasing paper. As in, this guy is good.
  
  
• Speaking of art, and following up on line 12 of this, the first in a multipart series about forger Han van Meegeren. (via)
  
  
• Palaeolithic pr0n.
  
  
• The higher cost of being poor.
  
  
• And finally, the ontological proof of the existence of God non-existence of jetpacks.
