Yesterday, instead of the standard Saturday Reading Club, we had a year-end party/exhibition at the cultural center where the Reading Club takes place, alongside the students from the painting and music classes. There were around fifty people in total, mostly children and their parents. Tayde assigned me to be the “poetic tarot reader”, so I spent most of the party sitting in a dark room with incense and a candle, telling people to choose from a set of playing cards, on the backs of which Tayde had glued short poems about the future. I did my best to appear authoritative and mysterious, but some of the poems Tayde picked were pretty advanced, leading to several occasions where the children told me they did not understand the fortunes I had given them, whereupon I was forced to admit that I didn’t really understand the poems either. Later we ate tamales, and after dinner the hosts brought out three piñatas, which is a reasonable number I think. In all, it was a fun party.
After the party I watched The Bee Movie, which was not a good movie, but which was an interesting movie. Maybe I’ll write more about it later. I also watched the new Disney movie, Encanto, in theaters last week, and I’d like to write about that sometime as well.
