«¿Voy a empezar a sonreír cada mañana y abrazar árboles? Ni madres, he logrado luchar con todos esos estereotipos por casi cincuenta años, no pienso claudicar a estas alturas.»

Preparemos un coctel fulminante y delicioso. Vamos a necesitar: wiski, malaleche, malviajes, insomnio, hipocondria, intolerancia a todo lo profesionalmente buena onda, una delicada letanía de groserías, feroces dosis de autoescarnio y dosis igualmente industriales de ansiedad, entre más gratuita mejor. Pero también debemos agregar un filosísimo sentido del humor, ternura a prueba de balas y la más auténtica celebración de la amistad. Batimos bien, servimos en las rocas y tenemos estas Crónicas marianas.

Como en la mejor tradición del stand up --antes de que pasara por la censura de la corrección política--, Mariana H se abre de capa para presentarnos relatos de su vida en los que se burla de la burocracia de las relaciones interpersonales y del absurdo nuestro de todos los días, pero también, y sobre todo, de sí misma, de sus manías y múltiples motivos de angustia. Así, encontraremos en estas páginas historias de infidelidad y de la obstinación de encontrar el amor en los lugares más rústicos e insospechados, la crónica de una noche de surrealismo mexicano en el Torito y otra de un domingo en Tepito en busca del Santo Grial (o la gomichela perfecta), una defensa del gusto de comer e ir al cine sola y una despiadada crítica a la música de los gimnasios y sus entusiastas.

Mientras nos dobla de risa, Mariana H se pregunta: ¿y si la felicidad no está en el final de cuento de hadas ni en cualquiera de los modelos que la sociedad impone? A lo mejor está, nos dice, en unas almejas rasuradas, en la libertad de rugir por las mañanas y, si se tiene suerte, en la posibilidad de encontrar a alguien con quien quejarse del mundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Let's mix a cocktail, one that's strong and delicious. We'll need: whiskey, resentment, guilt, insomnia, hypochondria, intolerance of professional niceties, a delicate litany of curse words, a hefty dose of self-ridicule, and an equal part of anxiety, the more gratuitous the better. Good additions include a biting sense of humor, tenderness at all costs, and a true celebration of friendship. Blend well, serve on the rocks, and we have the Mariana Chronicles.

In the best stand-up comedy tradition --before political correctness--Mariana H bares all in a series of personal anecdotes that poke fun at the bureaucracy of interpersonal relationships and the absurdity of everyday life, but also, and most of all, herself, her hangups and neuroses. The Mariana Chronicles includes stories of infidelity and a compulsion to look for love in the most unlikely places, a surreal night in the Mexico City drunk tank, the search for the Holy Grail (or the perfect gomichela) in Tepito, a defense of the pleasures of dining out and going to the movies alone, and a merciless critique of gymgoers and the music they listen to.

Amid this hilarity, Mariana H wonders: What if true happiness isn't a fairytale ending or the conventions society imposes on us? Maybe it's a plate of razor clams, the freedom to be grouchy in the morning and, if you're lucky, finding someone to join you in complaining about the world.

Best dog ball in the world!
Size: Large, Pattern Name: Pack of 1, Size: Large, Pattern Name: Pack of 1
My dog is singularly obsessed with playing ball. He would drop a steak to chase a ball. (He'd return to the steak, but not without the retrieved ball. He's not an idiot.) He makes dangerous leaps, crashes into trees, and runs fast enough to catch thrown balls before they even hit the ground. Since he doesn't care about his own wellbeing, it's my job to protect him as much as I can. And a lot of balls are hard enough to cause him pain or dental damage when he mistimes a catch. Enter the ChuckIt Glow Ball! The minute Cowboy got his first Glow Ball, he no longer had any interest in the dozens of tennis balls scattered around the house and yard. If I took the Glow Ball away and instead threw a tennis ball, Cowboy would run to retrieve the ball, then return without it and begin looking all over the house for the Glow Ball. The Glow Ball is tough enough to survive Cowboy's big, sharp chompers, yet it's soft enough to do no harm when it hits him in the face. The glow feature is a huge bonus, too. Cowboy gets distracted by chipmunks and squirrels when we're playing, so he sometimes can't remember where he dropped the ball to pursue the interloper. If the ball was exposed to enough light before it was misplaced, it will be easy to find once the sun goes down. (Otherwise, Cowboy always finds it eventually.) When I'm feeling nocturnal, I'll put the ball under a light for a few minutes to activate the electrons, then treat my boy to a middle-of-the-night game of fetch. I was so happy to see these on sale, I bought a lifetime supply for my pantry. The size guide seems accurate. ChuckIt recommended the large size for a dog of Cowboy's weight and that size is perfect. Highly recommended product.

Heavy chewer approved.
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My pomsky will destroy a toy in minutes. Ropes, and the "indestructible" nylon type stuffs are no match for my furry shark. This ball has stood up to him like David. He loves the crunch and it is so much more tolerable than a squeaker. These will be a staple in his toy box - Chuckit toys are really the most durable dog toys I have found in three years.

Dogs love them
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2)
Our dogs love these. What’s great is that you can add more plastic (like from water bottles) if the plastic starts to fall out from the center. If you have a chewer, though, these won’t last you long. Our shepherd mix loves these and then starts to pull the rubber apart the more she plays with it. Our other dogs treat it normally, though, and those ones last forever. They also get some decent height when bounced, and they make a unique whistling noise when thrown.
