Transcription, The Copywriter, Yesteryear, Villa Coco, Fixer Chao, I Made You Up Inside My Head, Food Person, Go Gentle, and more I always save information about agents and publishers, especially now that I am closer to finishing my novel.

A writing residency can give you a room of your own, and hopefully a desk with a view, providing a temporary escape from the madding crowd. Most writers, especially the ones who actually devote time to their craft, are not rich. So, why are residencies so incredibly pricey sometimes? Well, it’s a market economy. There […]
El anhelo de un beso Yo tendría unos 6 o 7 años, un cumpleaños en mi casa. Me acuerdo que tenía puesto un enterito verde muy oscuro. En esa época todas gustábamos de Vartán, hoy uno de mis mejores amigos. En un momento de ese cumple que era en mi casa, pero no recuerdo si […]

Some trips take longer to process, to really find within ourselves what it is we went looking for there, REALLY, as opposed to what we set out to achieve. I took several as yet unreported trips in 2015, and perhaps the most unreported one among them was my sejour in breathtaking Sedona. There were many peculiarities […]
Best Montevideo Restaurants – LUCCA Affordable Gourmet
After having lunch there one lovely Saturday afternoon, I can say that it was probably the best culinary experience I have had at a restaurant in Montevideo.
Uruguay blooms in the summer. It is the time of pleasure, nature, love, sunshine, and beauty. This summer in particular has been especially beautiful, with scarce clouds and generally agreeable temperatures.

Two nights ago, I had a dream about Siegessäule, the magnificent monument made famous by Wim Wenders` Himmel über Berlin (Wings of desire) and Bono´s music clip for one of the song´s in the sequel´s soundtrack. The only difference between this and the previous times this icon has captured my imagination is that this time […]
Traveling with my own portable wireless – TEP device Review
I´m sitting at a Starbucks in San Francisco before a reading on Mission street. I came in because I needed to check the exact address of the place of the reading online. For the third time during my trip (Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco), I got my drink/food, sat down, opened my […]

Planning a Visit to Serengeti National Park – The Ultimate Safari Adventure
Serengeti National Park is a kind of holy grail for all African safari enthusiasts. The park´s open plains are home to a fantastical array of wild species, from friendly zebra to imposing predators like leopards and lions. This is probably the greatest place in the world to witness wildlife in all its majesty and intensity. […]
Being in LA, it is impossible not to think about Vegas. Everyone you meet either just came from Vegas, is reminiscing about their last trip or planning a new gambling, dining, and partying escapade. Of course, the hype is more than justified. The neon town rising out of the Nevada desert is rich in opportunities for travel […]

Finding a Car for that Perfect, Unforgettable Road Trip
I don´t like cars. One of my least favorite things about Seattle is having to get in a car to go almost anywhere. I don´t like traffic, I don´t like being inside a metallic box instead of being out in the open field. However, I love road trips. I love that feeling of being on […]
If you wanted to see the best sunrise in Britain, where would you go?
Britain´s scenic coastline can be a marvelous place to contemplate the beauty of the rising sun. Though the British Islands are better known for mysterious fogs and ubiquitous rains, when the sun does rise in all it´s splendour, I hope you will find yourself at one of these locations. A perfect sunrise is an elusive […]
Leaving Summerland – Montevideo-Seattle and beyond
When people heard I was coming to Seattle, some of my Uruguayan friends mentioned the music scene, but everyone mentioned the rain. I am going to disappoint all of them by saying that the music scene here is nothing to write home about, and neither is the rain
Ever since the Beatles first landed in America, British musicians have been trying to make it in the US with varying degrees of success.

Stockholm is one of the top capitals of Europe, but it has a reputation for being rather expensive for travelers. While some tourists can afford to stay in luxury at the greatest hotels the world has to offer, dine in the top five star restaurants every night, and splurge on costly tours, regular mortals often […]
Everybody wants to move to Uruguay, but not everyone should…
One thing I know for sure is this: wherever LIFE is happening, it´s never happening at a 4-star hotel. You can add as many stars as you like; it ain´t gonna happen.

Nine fabulous things to do on a Spring Break cruise
I have been lucky to be able to do my fair share of traveling and cruising. Although I have never been much of a “tourist,” I have had many near-paradise experiences over the years. Much of my cruising was actually done during Spring Break, so, I came up with the idea of suggesting some fabulous […]
It is always a good idea to do a little bit of homework before planning a trip to London. It is a wonderful holiday destination, but you need to be aware of a few practicalities that will save you some unnecessary trouble. Here are a few important things you need to know when planning a […]

Accompanying a steady transition from old to new, stylish new waterfront developments and numerous new attractions are being added to the traditional atmosphere of Limerick's bustling bars, lively music scene and historical landmarks.
A esas playas sin nombre

Propiedad Privada y cosas por el estilo
I have always loved Punta Ballena and Portezuelo. I used to go there with my family when I was a child, I have stayed at the magnificent Casapueblo, I often attend jazz concerts at Medio y Medio, and frankly, as soon as I get there, everything always seems perfect. It´s a perfect love story, as […]
Sometimes we travel long and far and we don´t know what we are looking for. I have always been attracted to people who do not give up, who never stop searching. Sometimes we travel long and far and then we find what we wanted back in our home. All of these things have happened to […]

10 Cruising myths exposed – It’s not always like on The Love Boat! (by a former cruise staff)
Someone asked me to try to share some of my expertise on cruising here, So, I came up with a list of things most people commonly expect from cruising, which they do not always get.
ATLANTIDA, Uruguay: Film workshop on the beach – A photo blog
I have done many things in my life, but I am pretty sure this is the first time I´ve had a class at a beach bar, in a biking, drinking white wine and nibbling on calamari. NÉKTAR FILMS` project THE ISLAND OF JUSTICE was selected for a production workshop with a very interesting Argentinean producer, […]
Two poems on St. Cecilia´s day and the power of music
On this day last year, I was not in the best terms with Saint Cecilia. I was feeling a little bit angry about some of the sacrifices I sometimes made for music & musicians. What came out of those emotions on her day were this too half angry-half worshipy poems.
Caribbean holidays FAMILY, HONEYMOONS, MUSIC & CULTURE
When most people think of Caribbean holidays, the first things that come to mind are drinks served in coconut shells, white sands, Latin or reggae music and turquoise seas. Because of the weather, the scenery, the promise of Latin-style fun, and even the abundance of good looking Latinos and Latinas around, the Caribbean is the […]
We shot an unforgettable film and we survived (and thrived).
MONSTRUO by CARLOS MORELLI. A NEKTAR FILMS production.
Coproducers: La ofi cine Berlin, Cinescopio Mexico.
With funding from the Uruguayan Film Institute.
Though I wouldn't call myself adventurous, I have a flair for the unexpected,
for wandering down strange alleys and deserted beaches and going to the other side of the sand dune
to see what lies behind.
As soon as I saw the sunflower fields far as the eye could see, I knew we had entered Tuscany. No other place could be this beautiful, so green and inviting to all the pleasures of the world.
Es muy raro ver un show en donde ninguna canción pierde un poco el interés, donde la magia no decae en ningún momento, donde los músicos sienten que están viviendo un momento especial, único, irrepetible, y el público, es parte de esa deliciosa complicidad.
Acompañado por sus dos maravillosos guitarristas Jeremías di Polito y Juan Pablo Chapital, Francisco Etchenique en batería y Nino Restuccia en bajo, Pablo y sus amigos nos regalaron, sin duda, el mejor show del año.
I was just invited to selext these 7 links from this year of blogging.

Fake idols and real dreams – From Manhattan to Hollywood
Flying towards JF Kennedy airport in New York, I recognized a bridge out a F Scott Fitzgerald novel. It was the bridge that Gatsby crosses to go into the city. I remembered the description of ash heaps and the mechanic who looked as grey as the ashes. The place looked grey and dull enough […]
The condo where my friend was staying looked exactly like TV´s serial killer cop “DEXTER,” which is actually set in Miami. The feeling of being in Dexter-land was augmented by the headline I read on a local magazine my friend had lying around: “Bigger guns, no permits needed, Page 10.”
The death of the common enemy – Obama and Osama´s head
Seeing Obama tell people to be happy because Osama had been killed felt exactly like one of those political meetings in 1984, where people enter into a hate frenzy against "the enemy."
Hitler said " Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" to counter the argument that it would be impossible to "get away" with wiping out the Jews. That´s what pushing a genocide under the rug will do; beget another one.
Though I knew little about Ebert and had never seen him, in my mind, he was not necessarily a "nice" man, more like a Neptune with his trident, letting films pass in front of him, and decreeing which ones would live and which ones would be sentenced to death.
I have a friend who is obsessed with muses. She keeps saying, jokingly, "what did she have that I don´t?" referring to women like Gala, who inspired Paul Éluard, Max Ernst and Salvador Dalí alike.
No, this is not a post about how wonderful it is to travel round the world. It is about the death of children, the most unnatural of all unnatural things upon our ailing Earth.
The only thing that this little Caribbean island, not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, is known for is because the famous writer Jean Rhys once lived there.
Japan, nuclear tsunamis and what is wrong with “progress”
Recently, Kenzaburo Oe wrote an article about how intrinsically disrespectful of the memory of the nuclear bomb's victims it was for Japan to keep developing nuclear power
RAUL at Punta del Este Film Festival; cinema & pastoral bliss
When my friend Sergio, who was organizing the Fest told me that our preview was going to be shown at Fundacion Atchugarry, I didn't think much of it. I had never heard of the place, though the prospect of it being en route to beautiful Jose Ignacio and in the middle of the country sounded very appealing.
Whichever form of the paradise may fit your taste, the island of Ibiza, famous for its discos and pumping party scene, remains a paradise for all. An account of my trips and evolving perceptions of it from 1997 till today.
Las Toscas, Uruguay: Childhood memories and the smell of the summer
Sometimes, when you have been going to a place your whole life, you tend to take it for granted. There is a tiny beach spot on Uruguay´s Golden coast where I spent all of my childood summers.
My Berlin is a Wendersness. It is an existential black and whiteness where Bono and Lou Reed are singing a song on streetcorners and Nick Cave is crooning hypnotic tunes in some run-down basement
I arrived in Paris on a charter plane from Ibiza after sunset one summer. I wanted films, interesting conversations about cinema and books, moonlight walks by the Seine, museums with fabulous art and everything the city had to offer.
Messina, Sicily is forever linked in my memory with a rather peculiar character I met there. To add to my list of " random people met on trips" meet Carlo.
The Greece I found; after a train to Bari and a ferry to Korfu, was different from Miller´s untrodden paradise. Still, I fell in love with it forever; I fell in love with its musical language, its delicious food, its people, its traditions, and the sheer beauty of its perfect little white towns overlooking the blue Aegean sea.
Formentera: once a hippie paradise, still a killer vacation spot
She would always speak of crystal-clear waters and untrodden paradise beaches, but, somehow, though we lived only a few kilometers away from the port of Sant Antoni in Ibiza, where one could take an inexpensive boat ride to the island, over 10 years went by before I saw Formentera with my own eyes.
Anyways, after this colorful ride, we were in Herculaneum. The differences with Pompeii are directly apparent on arrival. This is like looking at a whole city from above, only the roofs have been removed. Buildings here are much better preserved than in Pompeii, as Ercolano inhabitants were killed by the tremendous heat, and not by the ashes.
Herculaneum used to be a beach resort for rich Romans, so the ruins, located below ground level, are looking at an imaginary sea, as the water has long ago retired. Pompeii is huge, while Ercolano is rather manageable and, provided you have a good guide, you can get a pretty clear picture of it in one day.
Love story at the Llamadas: Candombe drumming and amour in Montevideo
We followed the drummers dancing like crazy. The llamadas consist of each group playing and dancing candombe and walking for some 10 blocks over a street called Isla de Flores. They start around the corner from my apartment, actually, but our seats were near the end of the line, so, when we followed the drummers as they exited the gates, police closed them behind us and said we couldn´t go back inside.
Ana couldn´t care less: she was going to be reunited with him, and nothing else mattered.
Iemanja: Uruguayans celebrate the goddess of the sea
Every February 2nd, thousands of Uruguayans go to Ramírez beach in Montevideo to offer their gifts to the goddess of the sea and ask for her protection, for their secret crush to fall in love with them, for work, money, or whatever they may desire.
An Egyptian mirage: Mayhem in the land of the pharaohs
In a country where a blogger goes to prison for four years after criticizing the president, it is no secret that freedom of expression has been a standing concern.
After 30 years living in an ipso-facto dictatorship under Hosni Mubarak, it seems that Egypt has had enough.
However, when I saw images of an Egyptian museum after it had been ramsacked during protests, I felt a sense of terrible loss.
It is very hard to connect the images of charming little Dubrovnik on the Dalmatian coast; with its cliffs overlooking blue seas and the perfect beige buildings with their orange roofs scattered across the hills, to Croatia´s violent past.
Making wine and building mansions hardly seem to be activities to carry out next to a time bomb like Vesubius, but, since this type of volcanoes can stay calm for a couple of thousand years, people tend to feel safe there, and so did I, as you can see in my video.

Venice is a labyrinth of canals. It is easy to get lost on its narrow meandering streets, no matter how many maps you are carrying. The good thing about Venice is that getting lost there is a bliss.
Beach concerts in URUGUAY. One of the summer´s highlights. Videos of two concerts at the Fabulous Punta del Diablo beach: DIZZY NATY FAFA TRIO and CONTRA LAS CUERDAS.
Impressive rock formations, crystalline water, delicious seafood, a dolphin swim and fired up tequila on your coffee to top it off. You gotta love Cabo.
The Med is one of my favorite places on the planet. Since Europeans decided to switch to Euro and the dollar went downhill, European travel has become very expensive. Coming from Uruguay, some of the local prices seem outrageous, considering the exchange rate with the Uruguayan peso. In any case, I have been around the […]
Pablo Damonte, un diamante que ya no está en bruto
Pablo es esa cosa rara de ver: un músico de la cabeza a los pies, además un cantautor exquisito y, sobre todo, alguien capaz de una entrega en escena sólo paralela a la de su ídolo máximo Luis Alberto Spinetta.
Lucas Martí, un artista inencasillable (gracias a dios)
Lo primero que escuché de Lucas Martí era una canción rara, inencasillable, quizás casi tanto como su autor. Pasarían años antes de mi enluquecimiento.
World traveler with a herniated disc? Goodbye surgeon, hello fitness guru
Hardcore workout is the only way out for people suffering from low back pain and herniated discs. A researched paper and an account of my personal story as living proof of my firm belief.
Lo que proponía el Príncipe era totalmente un CANTO A LA VIDA, muy alejado de la imagen del artista torturado que es tan cliché en el imaginario nacional.
From time to time, when I message a friend, they will say “call me when you are in town,” or something of the sort. It appears that, since I have spent most of the last five years away from my hometown travelling, they all assume that I am somewhere else all the time. In fact, […]
La historia es así, AC y yo nos conocimos cibernética y tangencialmente cuando escribí un guión y él aceptó componer la música, además de hacer un cameo. Eran épocas de Honestidad Brutal y luego El Salmón, y mi mente estaba completamente acalamarada. Después nos cruzamos a lo lejos varias veces, sin jamás llegar a coincidir, […]
Celebrating Uruguay´s soccer triumphs: are we all like sheep?
High schools were shut down, military planes were hovering over the Uruguayan House of Parliament, the crowd was cheering at random, and I got to thinking about Orwell´s sheep.
The New Yorker said we were an ordinary team, but we made the top four. Returning from LA, I was able to witness and celebrate Uruguay´s triumphs in the soccer world cup.
Algunas diferencias entre Los Angeles y Montevideo
LA La gente espera que los semáforos cambien de color para cruzar la calle Hay gente que maneja más de una hora para ir a trabajar MVD Si manejas más de una hora te caés del mapa LA Hay 100 boliches donde tocan 5 bandas mediocres por noche pero si vas al Viper podes descubrir […]
I see Lisbon through your eyes I wanna live in Lisboa I want to walk across the bridge over your Tejo to find you there waiting for me to show me something to tell me stories of conquerors and ravens of magic birds and vinho verde When you sing for me driving in your car […]
There are some places we fall in love with, even before we have even been there. Lisbon had been in my heart long before I met the wonderful person who would lure me into its dreamlike world.
Festejando la victoria de Uruguay ante Corea en el Mundial 2010
Uruguay le ganó a Corea y se acerca a la codiciada copa del mundo.
Nosotros festejamos y nos preguntamos ¿por qué no ganamos nada hace tanto tiempo? Todo tiene una explicación, menos la alegría del pueblo.
So, I am back home after that crazy LA sejour. Today was a special day in Uruguay. Our team was playing Korea, and we had to win to stay in the world cup. I had made plans for my friend Arpi to pick me up to go over to our friend Trici´s to watch the […]
LA Film Festival 2010, the changing landscape of film distribution, how LA public transportation surprisingly works, and some notes on the peculiar film festival fauna.
Sting and the US Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl
What an experience, to see a 50-year old Sting, his vocal chords intact, in better shape than ever, accompanied by an amazing backup vocalist and a genius conductor leading a superb Phil. The arrangements were next to perfection, the song choices, made in heaven, the slim moon was shining over Hollywood, and one could ask for nothing more.
One place I will never tire of seeing in Rome is the iconic, if anything was ever iconic, Trevi Fountain. Eversince Anita Ekberg dipped her feet in the fountain´s green waters in Fellini´s “La Dolce Vita”, everyone who comes to Rome wants to see the place.
A Spanish language poem about the astounding similarities I found between historic enemies Turkey and Armenia when I visited Istanbul a couple of years back.
Two years ago, I coincided with a large group of Armenian tourists doing a Mediterranean cruise. Capri was one of our stops. When I was having lunch at a beautiful restaurant, as part of a day tour of Capri and the Amalfi Coast, I sat at a table with Vart, Silvia, and their respective husbands. They were all of Armenian origin, just like me.
One of my most vivid images of Waikiki is of listening to a Hawaiian band playing Iz´s version of “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, with the sun going down behind them. There was just something fundamentally Hawaiian about that scene, the beautiful music, the Hawaiian-shirt-clad musicians with their ukeleles, and the silhouettes surfing into the sunset in the background.
I just didn´t want to go back to sleep on the ship. Simply, I NEEDED a connection. It was not about booking a hotel and staying there by myself...
This was MAUI!!! I had to see those Maui stars, whatever the cost.
The beauty of the islands, the Polynesian features of its inhabitants, their bewitching traditional music and relaxed lifestyle; there was nothing about Hawaii that didn´t fascinate me.
When people think of Jamaica, the first thing that comes to mind is Reggae and the chilled out lifestyle of the islanders... When I think of Jamaica, I think of Maxine.
