La Vecina on UniMás  

I'M SO EXCITED 

Let's discuss recapping duties. 

@topperarnold

OK, I looked through my recaps from before El Cohete and I apparently started around episode 38? I figured I'd do something similar to what I'm doing with DQTQTQ and pull up the old recap, see how well it fits the episode, add or delete things as needed. And just write a whole new one if I don't have a backup.

What are your thoughts?

ACK! I missed the first episode waaa   (ok reading over that I sound like Cathy, and I haven't read that comic strip in years 😝 )

I really need to keep up on things *sigh*

I'm still too distracted and stressed to volunteer to recap, but I will be watching. (que me pone de buenas 😊 )  And probably reading. And maybe commenting (I don't know why but signing in, and typing words, and clicking 'add reply' just feels a lot harder than it used to)

Yaaaayyyyy

@kat

Well I didn't keep any of my old recaps so I'll have to go from scratch, but you know how lazy I am. I'd end up doing something really short. Which really isn't that different from the original run where I just did a weekly post and a super fast and lazy daily recap in the comments. 

I take it you're thinking each episode gets a recap? 

@stealthcacophony

Everything feels harder. Like wading through molasses.

I don't care how long or short, but yeah, one per.

La Vecina getting an upgrade 😀

Pencil me in for Friday this week. Ultimately I'd like to do Thursday and Friday. I'm trying to think ahead to the school year. If we start back it will be August 5th or 6th and having end of week episodes will be easiest for me to continue.

Cathy has had a big influence in my life 🤣

It may be for different reasons but I find myself really distracted these days. I get it. I'm always happy to see your posts. Am I remembering correctly that we "met" on La Vecina or was it Quiero Amarte? Or am I way off base? I have a Swiss cheese memory. 

@topperarnold Yeah, one of those shows *shrugs* you're guess is as good as mine, but I think either one was about when I stopped lurking and started commenting? Maybe? I actually can't remember if Quiero Amarte or LV came first. It must have been QA, right?

@stealthcacophony

I think it was QA first? 

I'm glad you came out of lurkdom. 😀 

Just read the recap @kat. I hope everyone takes your advice and watches the intro 😀 The song is my happy place. I'm so glad I bought the album for this!

I really like Juan Diego Covarrubias as the uptight guy. He plays it well. I never really liked him as the villain in DQTQTQ and I never really bought him as the (supposedly) sweet guy either, but uptight and slowly coming out of his shell is believable to me.

I'm so glad this is back! (Now I just wish they would produce a DVD for it....)

Did I notice how bright this show was the first time I watched? Sara's hot pink dress (so cute!), Marinita's turquoise blouse (I own a similar one), Magda's bright yellow dress (also precious!)
