Translation reading and blogging from a plane

In the air on a plane from jfk to lax. On my iPhone. Pretty cool that I can blog from a plane. Eventually headed to Morelia Mexico. Also watching paranoid activity right now on the plane. Not a good idea. Just half saw the ending while trying to focus on this blog. Uhhhh. Bad idea.

Moving on: Ive been invited to read at an event for the Columbia Center for Literary Translation. I don't know if I've mentioned here that I've been in workshops and doing lots of translation from Spanish to English. So far I really enjoy translation. It absorbs my mind completely.

Apparently my teachers have taken notice of me and a few of my other classmates. They want me to read some translations and some original work and also to talk about how translation work informs creative work and vice versa.

I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes. I still have no idea what o read on both accounts.

But right now I think I'm gonna wake up the sleeping lady At the end of my aisle and make her talk to me so I forget about paranormal activity.
