In the latest ep, La Llorona, the titular character, a Central/South American ghost mourning her kids, whom she drowned, kidnaps children. Nick learns this from a Spanish-speaking man who has lost his son. The man speaks no English, and apparently no one in the Portland Police Department speaks Spanish, so, on this flimsiest of pretexts, the story drags in Juliette [Nick's girlfriend] to translate for the man.
I call bullshit. The father of the kidnapped kid knows no English at all, not even enough to say, "Let's communicate in Spanish"? More to the point, the Portland PD, which should be prepared to deal with many nationalities of people and many languages, has no one at their disposal who understands even basic Spanish?! No one is available who knows the primary language of the country with which we share a 2000-mile-long southern border? BULLLLLLLLLSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.

Sanding party!!!!111eleventy
Oct. 30th, 2012 06:18 pmHere's the result of about half an hour of AGGRESSIVE SANDING!!! White areas around her forehead [including lightly circled area] and ears are areas where the sanding party is occurring. Yellow areas around her eyes, nose and mouth are areas that have yet to experience the awesomeness of the sanding celebration.( Read more... )
She just looks that way in this photo because I messed with the levels. After another half-hour stint, the SANDING PARTY!!!!!111eleventy ended due to a lack of motivation and sandpaper. I am making progress, though.
I'm also never doing this again! ( Read more... )
