I can't write here. I have to go pick up where I left off.

Starting over
So, over the years I've had blog homes in a number of different locations. For various reasons, I had to move from spot to spot, and eventually stopped writing altogether.
I don't really know what makes today different than any other day. Perhaps a fantastic weekend, in which I wish I had a place to write? Perhaps a slow day at work that reminds me that I used to write more in these times? I don't really know, but it seems like the time is right.
So, let me introduce myself. My name is Casifras. No, that's not my real name, and maybe at some point in the future I'll expose more of myself, but for now I leave you with merely a pseudonym for myself.
Currently, I live in Austin TX with my awesome boyfriend (who we'll refer to as Buki) and our 4 cats. Yes, 4 of them. I'm not even kidding. I had 2, he had 2, we moved in and such is life. And really, there's a good chance that a good number of my future blog posts will be about the crazy antics of the 4 cats.
Are we good with introductions? At least for now? Because, I'd like to talk about "Buki".
So, this past weekend, a friend from college came to town. He brought with him a sweet little old Mexican man, Norberto, as they're touring this region doing a speaking tour. Now, Norberto is probably one of the funniest old men I've ever men. My spanish is pretty decent, but definitely far from great. My vocabulary is lacking, and I've forgotten more verbs than I remember it seems. But, Norberto speaks not a lick of english. Being the funny man that he is, he was constantly joking about this and that, including making fun of words that I couldn't manage to say. (It's true, I have a hard time saying "pelicula" which means movie. This caused him asking many many times "whats on the tv?" at which point I'd have to tell him "a movie". giggle giggle giggle casifras can't say "movie" in spanish)
Anyways, on Friday night, Norberto kept asking me who boyfriend was reminding him of. Being the mind reader that I am (HA!) I had no idea. He kept telling me "a band! you know! a band from mexico!" At this point, I started naming some bands I know. Manuchao. No. Cafe Tacuba. No. Well, these bands are definitely not from his generation, they're from mine! So, no luck.
Finally, at about 11:30 on Friday night, Norberto shouts out "LOS BUKIS!!!" and immediately starts pointing at boyfriend and giggling. It takes us only a moment to pull of images of the band on Google and see exactly what he was talking about.
LOS BUKIS!
My boyfriend looks so similar to the lead singer, it's a bit eerie. Except, boyfriend is about 20 years younger and doesn't normally feather his hair. However, the similarity is definitely there. And, I think it's hilarious. So, boyfriend has a new "pet" name, Buki. And I plan to make it stick for a long long time.
