30 hours

NY is 30 hours away. I should be packing but instead here are the possible names for my iphone. I decided to take names from El Almanaque Pintoresco de Bristol this almanac has been in circulation for 176 years and contains moon phases, jokes and, most importantly, the saint of the day. For years I've heard of this almanac from my mother who told me when she was young, and specially generations before hers, a lot of families would use this book to name their children according to the saint of the day. I've always laughed because the names are, for the most part, always ridiculous and incredibly ugly, so I decided what better place to look for better name for my iphone than this. Some examples:
  • Altagracia
  • Idelfonso
  • Pionio
  • Teófilo
  • Quintilino
  • Ciriaco
  • Filemón
  • Serapión
  • Toribio de Mogroviejo
  • Urbicio
  • Tiburcio
  • Pio
  • Segismundo
  • Geroncio
  • Caccaciolo
  • Saturnina
  • Crescencia
  • Agripina
  • Sinforiano
  • Nicodemo
  • Cornelio [Reminds me of Chuck P...]
  • Eustaquio
  • Eusebia [What I would've been named if my mother actually followed this]
  • Basiniano
  • Eulalia
  • Eleusipo
  • Espelosipo
  • Meleusipo
  • Severiano
I want it to be a girl so I narrowed it down to :
  • Altagracia
  • Saturnina
  • Crescencia
  • Agripina
  • Eusebia
  • Eulalia
Gabi what do you think? haha I'm leaning towards Altagracia, Eulalia and Eusebia.

On another note Andrew Bird is on Thursday and his new album is amazing and his limited edition instrumental companion album to Noble Beast is amazing. He needs to marry me N O W. Sigh.

Julia sent me this link and this is amazing really. Kanye finds the awesomest things man and his suite for one of the million inaguration parties was also amazing, who cares if he has a Mr. T hairdo, he looked good. Store:
