Biggs esta en la casa!

“Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.” –Dick Brandon

It must be difficult to be a rapper in Spanish. Instead of “Biggs is in the house…” it is “Biggs esta en la casa…” Just doesn’t have the same ring. Plus, when you want to say “word to your mother” it becomes “palabra a su madre.” Again, just not the same ring. Litfin would have a hard time adjusting.

But my friend Brooke (last name Biggs) arrived yesterday and already it is so fun to have her here. She loves it and is so amazed and appreciative and frankly just darling.

So you may wonder why I started this blog with a quote about sex… no I didn’t switch teams… nor have I had sex…(sadly nor have I seen the shirtless wonder again, starting to think maybe he was a figment of my imagination) but this morning at around 6:45 Brooke was getting ready for her daily fieldtrip (as I have to work during the week, I have booked her solid with daily activities here to keep her entertained and more importantly to keep me employed) and asked “Where are my monkeys?” Just as I said “Not here yet.” I heard the scampering across the roof. As if on cue, the monkeys arrived, so Brooke and I stepped out back to see them, and she was thrilled.

And we watched 2 monkeys have sex.

Monkey sex is kinda funny. And over quickly. Poor monkeys.

I thought about videoing it, but decided that was a violation of privacy. While it may be cool in Hollywood to have a sex tape, I believe in the “do unto others” principle, and as I would not want the monkeys to post a tape of me having sex on their blog, I decided to pay them the same respect.

So while I am not posting a picture of the monkey sex, I thought I would post a picture of the closest thing I have had to sex in Costa Rica…


Pathetic I know.

Here is a picture of Brooke and I last night… many more to come. And no, the outfit coordination was not planned.

And while this is not a video of monkey sex, it is a pretty fun video of some monkeys actively playing this morning. Have I mentioned that I love monkeys? Oh, and if you look closely you will see the first monkey is actually a mama with a baby on her back. Could they be any cuter?
