Well, shit, if he can admit it, anyone can. Maybe. Or maybe it's just a question of changing one's mind...or maturing...or becoming accustomed...or finally getting hip to something...
Here are inconsistencias mías and some things I've changed my mind about, some of them after vehemently expressing opposing opinions (that's ok, my own words actually don't taste too bad when washed down with enough whine).
1. Now I actually quite like the resurgence of decoration on the back pockets of jeans. Such a variety.
2. Turning on the radio on the way home I heard the sustained and smooth yet somehow searing notes that could only come from Carlos Santana's guitar. While I've always respected him and appreciated his unique style, it's never really moved me. Tonight, however, that guitar style worked on me. I mean, for me. Or both.
3. Those gorgeous Italian grey wool pants that I thought made me look all tall and "all that" actually make my ass appear positively elephantine. No pic. Ever.
4. While I can't exactly say that I now like Bemberg's film Camila, it makes for a better supplement to study of Argentina during the Rosas regime than it does entertainment. Maybe it's just that Profe. Ana using it gives it the cachet that another profe./another Santana couldn't. Plus, it caused Bobby to exclaim, "Ea...¡es Víctor de La Regenta!" upon seeing the actor who plays Camila O'Gorman's father and me to lean over Jon to whisper to Bobby, "¿Es la abuela de Camila la mamá del Padre Fermín de La Regenta?" Anything or anyone who makes a link between the seminars I'm taking deserves a second, positive gander.
5. I've completely v-chipped South Park for its treatment of one of maybe three things/people that are, for me, "untouchables". That being said, however, when I have to listen to someone spew unpleasantness (sometimes deserved, but usually not) at me I push the "play" button in my head and let the words and melody of "Kyle's Mom's a Bitch" provide background music, if not drown out whatever he/she is saying that I don't wish to hear.
6. The indoor track is not always boring, but rather a pleasant and definitely safer place to disconnect completely during a run.
7. 40 is not the new 30. It's the new black.
8. My presentation might actually be short enough after all and it won't suck as much if I do show the clips.
9. Breakfast really shouldn't consist wholly or partially of Cheez-Its™. Except in cases of emergency. (I may change my mind on this one again.)
10. Just because it's a list doesn't mean it has to have 10 items.
