Consejos?

Hola a todos!

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the next edition of "White Kid Reads Rap Lyrics" on Butter's Podcast. BP #5 featured "Gin and Juice". Finnane, I know you're a rap fantatic. Hit me up a lil some' some', yo!

Team Blog

Hola a todos!

Ok, I'm changing the format of the Toledo Haluego blog. I just learned that you can set up a "team blog" whereby multiple people can post to the same blog. I want you guys to be able to post your thoughts right on the front page where I can, not just in the comments sections. That way everyone will be more likely to see what's going on.

This way people can post pictures and whatnot real easily for everyone to see and you won't have to do it through me. Should be a cool thing for us.

So...if you would like to post on Toledo Haluego, shoot me an email. I have to send you an invitation and then you just make a Blogger account and you can sign in and post.

Gracias!

Asi me gusta

This is what I like to see--more interaction on the Toledo blog. Way to go on the comments kids. Doesn't anyone else want to start a blog yet? I'll subscribe and you'll be famous!

Side note: BP #4 is up and ready!

Betso: "Mateo, you're right: people need to blog more. This is easier than I thought!

If Betso likes it, it has to be a good idea.

Also, just so all of your fears as assuaged: my legs are still nearly as chicken-y now as they were in the below picture. Ay, piernas de gallina!

Reunion?

Okay, so apparently by "chico nuevo", I actually meant "serious boyfriend of over two years". Sorry Finnane. Obviously I'm out of touch with everything going on in everyone's life. This is why everyone needs to blog more!

Ok, Sarah asks, "When is everyone going to games this year? Maybe we could reunirnos?". This of course is the most provocative question she's asked since, "What exactly is a rusty trombone?" in the Hostal Benidorm in Barcelona.

Well, Finnane, you are in luck because I am also planning on heading out to the BYU game at the end of October, and I'm bringing along my special lady so she can experience the Notre Dame...uh...err....experience.

Is anyone else planning on going out for that one? People in Chicago have no excuse. You have to be there by default. But it might be fun to do a little sangria tailgate if we could arrange it. One minor problem is that I don't have any tickets yet. So if anyone hears of a couple of billetes for BYU weekend, definitely do let old Mateo know!

Post comments on the blog and let us all know what's up!!

Novios ocultados?

So, scanning across some of Betso's photos, does Finnane have a chico that we're not hearing about? What gives? Mateo needs to saber!

The hits just keep on coming...

Buenos dias a todos! Thanks to Estif for his encouragement of my podcast! Come on over and savor the flavor of Butter at butterspodcast.blogspot.com. Three podcasts up so far, with more on the way! Send suggestions. Maybe we could do some sort of Spain podcast.

If you haven't already, you really need to check out the Notes from Spain podcasts. Ben Curtis does some really cool stuff, and his latest podcast is actually in Spanish with his wife Marina. Very cool! www.notesfromspain.com...

Hasta luego...

First Podcast is up!

Finally, I completed my first podcast! Nothing special, but it's a start. If you care to check it out, you can download it here. Just right-click, click "save link as" and save it down to your hard drive (for all of you that are computer morons). As I said on my other blog, it's still a work in progress with the levels and whatnot. Anyway, enjoy!

Que os disfruteis!

Gracias Rico!

Much thanks to Rico who left me a voice mail over the weekend! It included the phrase, "Bring your fiance down here so I can get drunk and hit on her!" Ay, Rico, ay.

Fotos recien sacadas

Ok, everyone...here are the long-awaited pictures from Betso. You can check out all of her pictures on line at www.flickr.com. Her screen name is "Betso". You should check that out over there because she has little captions up that I am incapable of including on this blog. Consequently, my screen name is "ndbutter" if anyone ever wants to look at any of my pics.

Looks like a good time was had by all at these two weddings. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to Bottitta's because my sister got married the day before. I was a mess the next day anyway, so it was probably for the best. How old are we, by the way? That's disgusting to think about. Anyway, glad to see everyone looking great. I especially enjoyed the pictures of Bethany dancing. I heard she got married too! That's awesome. I'll never forget when Jose told her he loved her while on the phone at the Alcazar and she hung up on him in terror. Nice move, Bethania! How far we've come!

Hopefully we'll all be able to see each other at some point soon.

Cuidaros!

Perdon, otra vez

Good day all! Well, it's been a long time since I did a substantial post. Please accept my apologies if you've been checking the site only to find no new information. Unfortunately this time of year is a bit busy here in the wonderful world of public accounting. I'm also trying to close on a new house and plan a wedding, so I just haven't had a ton of time for blogging.

ND football starts in exactly 24 days vs. Pitt. Fall practice actually started this past Monday. Head over to Irish Eyes if you haven't already to check out all the latest news and info.

On a related note, I'm trying to think about what I want to do with my podcast when I actually start it (which I'm hoping to do once I get into my house). One of the ideas I had was to do sort of a "gamewatch" podcast where you get to listen to me watch an ND football game. I thought that might be kind of an entertaining idea. If you have any other ideas, please drop me an email and let me know what you think. Other than that I was going to try to do a summary of interesting news, sort of like the links I've been posting over on my other blog at butterspodcast.blogspot.com.

On another note, Betsy posted a comment asking if you all could send me pictures to post on the blog. ABSOLUTELY! The easiest way to do this may be to throw them up on Flickr (www.flickr.com) so I can just post the image link in the html of my page. I think that's a great idea, betso.

Have a tremendous day!
