There is a lot of inertia to be overcome to get this goddam realgem moving again... it's rusted in its tracks...
The most overwhelmingly hilarious thing that has happened to me recently... I was at Mr Carah's art exhibition opening on Monday, aproveitando the cachaça de graça...
This dude came up to the bar... American, everything about him screamed... I thought he might be feeling lonely and confused with all the loud babbling in Brazilian around. So I stepped up to him and said hi and all the usual things English people say to introduce themselves.
He looked at me blankly and said: "Sorry, I don't speak Portuguese."
