Destilando Amor 04/30/07 "In a public display of unmanliness...Rod has a bit of a break-down"

Elvira, the old secretary is all shades of angry with Gavi, there is a big meeting coming up and she is certain, Gavi is going after the company...like a Dog on a bone...yep she said that. I don't know why this old bag doesn't just quit. Surely she recognizes spunk and perkiness when she sees it...Oh Old Lady the writing is on the Wall.

Back at the ranch Rod clutching his stomach, the keg of Tequila he downed the night before is not sitting well with him. Gavi is calling again trying to invite Rod to the big Junta on Monday the 27th. Finally Rod snatches the phone and yells into it that he won't come to the meeting. Gavi tells Licenciado Videgaray, who in turn has her call right back, Ofelia, says Sr. Rod is not there so Gavi hands the phone over to LVide...(sorry his name is just way too long). Ofelia gives the good LVide the news that TWB, has split, returned to Mexico DF. Gavi is sooooo evesdropping on this...

Meanwhile over at Creepy Acres...James is doing the John Deere in a tractor... Acacia (Wed Addams); comes up to give him a drink; James notices the bruise on her face where Creepy Tio smacked her the nite before. James questions her and says he will talk to Tio, Wed says NO!!!
She runs off across the fields.

Lil Gavi weasles the truth out of LVide, that TWB has abandoned Rod, eeewww she is muy impacted....they now sit down to a good old fashion discussion about the fine merits of Tequila, we get a Middle School Agriculture flick about how Tequila is made...yep
Tequila, and here is some information for inquiring minds about it's sister mezcal. ****The first time I was in Guerrero, this old man passed around a bottle of mezcal with Queso, chiles, onions and tomatoes in it...It burned all the way down...LVide is amazed that Gavi knows so much about Tequila...think how amazed he'd be if he knew how much she knows about Rod.

Minerrrrva flounces into the office, she gives Gavi the once over and says she can't get a hold of Aaron; he is in Miami. Oh my Gawd, he always answers Minerva's calls, he has taken a stray bullet from David Caruso...No Gavi says he is in a meeting, Minnie flounces out..Tattooing BITCH on her forhead would just be overkill.

Aaron and the nice cuz Patrico are in a meeting with "Johnny Molina", he is slick and I'm thinking not a good guy. It is part of Aaron's big plan to sell high end Tequila.

Sofie is running scared, TWB is talking divorce and Sofie sees the golden ducats slipping through her clawing fingers....she tells Granny Pilar, she'll go to the ranch herself and deal with Rod...Pilar frowns or smiles, I'm not really sure cause actually nothing ever really moves, in reflection; maybe her eyes just bugged a little bit more..She is rather disturbing to watch cause I never know if she is choking on a fish bone or just muy impacted.

Gavi tries to get some data for the meeting from the AssHat guy who hit on her in a previous episode, he won't give her the statisitics. I think Gavi just wants to make some awesome spreadsheets and maybe colorful pie charts, hey maybe even a wicked powerpoint presentation for the big junta...probably facts about cirrhosis, the illegal organ network and using the inferior product for pulque, the Mexican version of "Two Buck Chuck".

Perv guy calls Elvira and they come to the conclusion Gavi is a corporate spy. Ahhh
Senor Boris and Senora Natasha..

Gavi is trying to sneak some important documents outta the office..guard dog Elvira..tries to stop her; Gavi threatens her and Elvira unwilling to strip to a cami and matching thong and mud wrestle her for it, Elvira lets Gavi pass.

TWB & Minnnerrrrva are playing cards..oh sure it looks like a friendly card game...but full of subtle threats..like watching Tony Soprano play cards. Minnie says is the divorce just a threat to win Rod back...TWB smirks when no one is looking. I'm thinking she can buy a stable full of stable boys with the settlement.

Back at Creepy Acres...James comes upon Acacia, he tells her he loves her and wants to protect her..just then toot-toot, a horn, the truck pulls up..Acacia runs into the house. It is Rod, he is lonely and wants to hit the Cantina. James is up for that...Well so much for protecting lil Wed.; oh what do I know..it is probably animal sacrificing nite and she would be busy anyway.

Gavi is in her "MicroSoft Office" class. After class she gives the professor the data she has "stolen from the office", he will try to make sense of it. They briefly discuss databases. Oh Gavi, I see you haven't had MSAccess yes, it is part of the Office Suite and yes it is Sweet...try the help menu..it really does.

Over at the Cantina, Rod is sh*tface drunk...seriously drunk and yelling for them to play more Gavi songs...The Bartender so does not want to hear it. Oh crap now Rod becomes what everyone hates....the crying drunk, the loud crying drunk. Soon Rod is crying harder than second place runner up on Prom Night. I am now throwing my Rod's Rangerette Pom-Pom's under the couch. For the love of Gawd straighten up Man. Nothing like the biggest landowner in the area coming to the bar and crying like a little girl.

Back in DF, Gavi comes in from school. Ma is sewing away on that machine..what does that woman sew? She has been sewing for a solid year now and Gavi wears like two outfits. Is she still making those really 1980's bridesmaids dresses? Hey maybe Ma has a gig making those gowns for Aurora over on LFMB..don't laff TeleVisa will save money whereever it can. Gavi tells Ma the big news about Isadora and Rod splitting up, oh you can see the cogs turning...yep just like a TeleNovela..

Minnerrrrrrrva finally talks to Aaron who is all Mi Amor, she instantly starts nagging...she is convinced Gavi is a corporate spy...just then a knock at Aaron's door..Why is is Pamela, all in a lime dress with her contrasting red hair...well I guess Aaron will get to open and early Christmas present. He lies to Minerva and tells her it was just someone delivering a document, "so that's what the kids are calling it these days". Minnies voice reaches a pitch that has dogs howling all over MX DF, she demands Aaron return muy pronto. Aaron hangs up...nope that ain't gonna happen.

James drives Rod home, I would have just dumped his sorry ass out on the side of the road..Rod doesn't want to get outta the truck, James has to pull him out and Rod still has a bottle of Tequila in his hand, he is just sloppy drunk now, falling everywhere. Sofie steps out of the shadows, Rod starts laughing and greets her..James is a bit abashed. Sofie starts in...They get Rod into the house and Sofie starts with the guilt trip about TWB, Rod so doesn't want to hear it. Sofie says she wants to talk to Rod alone, and James says he is going home. Sofie asks where he lives and he says with friends...Rod starts laughing and tells Sofie that James is very much in love with a pretty girl. Sofie turns and wipes a tear from her eye...oh wait..that can't be right, she must have just had an eyelash in her eye.
James leaves.

Now then, the squeeky..yucky why can't you do TWB conversation starts up. Rod says he doesn't love her, even thou she is a swell gal and it is fun to have sleepovers and do each others nails and make smores...okay I made that part up...
Okay Okay, he basically says that he does not love her and because of that he no funciono*****I saw on CNN today where in China, they have been showing Panda Bears, Panda Porn..to get them in the mood...with great success, Sofie get thine brother to Beijing, your family branch is indeed an endangered species*****

Sofie really starts laying the guilt on with "Poor little Daniela and me, poor orphans, all cause your manparts want the jimadora"...I like when these people say Jimadora, they practically spit the word..it is so "South of the Mason Dixon Line" circa 1860. Well, to paraphase Woody Allen when speaking of his step-daughter "Soon-Yi", the heart wants what the heart wants...and in Rod's case so do the manparts.
Sofie is fumming she will return to MX DF for the meeting.

Gavi goes to use the telephone to give the professor some more information. After she annoys him, she calls Rod...he answers the phone, still drunk,"Hello, Hello who is there?" Gavi says nothing, but a man comes up behind and calls her Teresa...Gavi hangs up...Rod hears the Teresa...Is it? Could it be? Is it Gavi?

Too funny! Between Beijing Panda Porn, night sacrifices and Rod's needy manparts, I lost it!

Is Minerrrrrrrrvaaa a savage-ism? Sounds like it.....

So, remains to be seen if Rod is smart enough to check the caller ID from this "Teresa" call and maybe even have his high priced so-called detective trace it back......And where do they get these character stereotypes of shady American entrepreneurs? Johnny "Mole" Molino is sooooo 60's ago! But then, Tony Soprano might have been exactly what they were aiming for, huh.
 

Thanks Beckster for another great recap. Boris and Natasha were perfect names for Gavi's office drones. I hope things work for Gavi and she can give an incredible presentation. It will drive Minnie over the edge!!

HAH HAH HAH as always. Excellent question about Clarita and her sewing but I have another theory: Clarita is not really right in the frontal lobes, maybe a piña fell on her head, the way she jumped up and down and squealed when Gav promised her a house, not right... maybe she is just sewing the same piece of fabric, round and round and over and over...

Gav is not a good office worker. Threatening to punch people, and then stealing classified documents and bullying her night-school teacher into helping her decode them...
 

Gavi and Rod definitely have a masculine and feminine role reversal in this one. I'm blaming the witch's brew for Rod's totally going over the edge. Hopefully he will get some reverse mojo soon! As for Gavi, she has the heart of a lion and boldly goes after opportunities with no apologies like any smart entrepreneur or aspiring corporate executive. She often succeeds, and if she fails she'll just brush herself off and go after the next great opportunity. She must be Aaron's prima.
 

Thanks, Beckster~~~another perfecto recap. I laughed ..I cried...no, I didn't cry...but I laughed and laughed and laughed. The Panda porn, HotRod's manparts [ay..yi..yiiii], the early Christmas present. I love HotRod , but the crying, sloppy drunkenness is getting me down. Afterall, Manuel only had that one , initial falling apart drunken night...then, he picked himself up and just acted like a jackass with occasional , quiet drunkenness. However, at least HotRod, unlike Manuel, has not slept with another mujere to forget his onetruelove. I am sooo happy that they have paired AAron and Minervaaaa. That is the perfect couple. I especially enjoy it when he hangs up on her because he is ''busy'' [yeah, he's busy getting busy with some floozy]. I want to [and, in truth, have] yell at the TV screen, ''Minerva, this is AAron, king of the the players , wake up and smell the deceptioN.'' P.S. I am calling you on the John Deere comment--their tractors are green and yellow...James was discing with a blue tractor...maybe a Ford.^^^Susanlynn, still holding onto her pom poms
 

Great recap Beckster. Thanks for explaining what Gavi was doing with the papers. My Spanish isn't good enough to understand why she was going from one person to another with those papers or why she would steal them in the first place. But you put it all together for me. It still amazes me that you guys that know Spanish so well would take the time to translate for those of us who seriously lack those skills. I love your outspokeness and your great sense of humor.
 

Beckster, you are too, too funny. Loved the recap. What you said about the abuelita is true: "She is rather disturbing to watch cause I never know if she is choking on a fish bone or just muy impacted." Also what Melinama said about Clarita not being right in the frontal lobes. I want to see a scene with Clarita and facelift granny having a conversation.
 

My husband always says "slow", when describing people like Clara..that's they have that childish awe about them..and yeh Johnny the Mole...I can see him shipping the black & decker tools to Tony up in Jersey..Now back to the slow thing...there is some problem with Clara, she does fine on the labor part & the sewing..but I can see how ole Don Amador, may have conned her..Sometimes I get that same effect from Rod...I really find it hard to believe he was in a doctrate program at Cambridge..maybe it was the "special program"...maybe he is just socially retarded cause he does that whole wide eyed thing too. Maybe he is the son of Clara and switched at birth with Gavi.
 

LOL, Melinama, I like your theory about Clarita sewing the piece of fabric...
 

You keep me laughing Beckster with your wicked sense of humor and speculations. Better than the actual telenovela.
I did have a different take on the "a otro perro con ese hueso!" I thought the older secretary was implying, with that remark, that she didn't really believe Gaviota when she said she was just trying to help. The dictionary translated it as "tell it to the Marines" or "pull the other one".
Whatever. Always enjoy your beckster take on things.

Beckster~~Maybe HotRod's ''emotional I.Q.'' is a little low.
 

When I think about Rod's behavior, 2 things come to mind. 1. If it walks like a duck(drunk), talks like a duck (drunk), then it must be a duck (drunk). 2) One of my psychology classes required me to sit in on a few group therapy sessions. The therapist assessed how a person handles crisis and then shows how it really is a pattern. My point is, can you imagine the Rod falling apart like this everytime a crisis comes along? When I was a teenager I thought it was Kool for a guy to love someone to that extent (can't eat, can't sleep etc.) At this stage in my life I like a balance between love,looks responsibility and common sense. So, until the Rod grows up and sobers up, I'm scratching him off my prince charming list.
 

Remember he had that Love Potion - even though he was acting nutty before that, we can cut him a leetle slack for being poisoned by his own wife...
 

Melinama~~~Good point...the Love Potion # 9. No wonder he is acting so ''lovesick.'' However, I also agree with Diane that looks and love are not enough if the hombre lacks common sense and responsibility. We want our hombres goodlooking and responsibile with common sense , and we want them to be crazy in love with us. Is that tooooo much to ask??? Come on , HotRod...stop doing the tequila shots, let your head clear, and then start using your head to get your onetruelove back and get in the race for a varon. You can do it..step up to the plate, man ! No more crying in your tequila. Be a man , man ! ^^^Susanlynn, one of Rod's Rangerettes , shaking her pom poms as she cheers HotRod on...Gooooo, Rodrigooooo!!!
