Well, it’s officially that break time. The ETC is closed so I didn’t have to go into work today. Got up early to lift this morning with Crickit and then went in for a couple hours to figure out how to use Camtasia and Snaggit. They’re both very useful programs and extremely easy to use if you’re minimally computer competent. Right now I’m at Nathan’s doing my laundry and killing time. I can go home and come back to switch loads, but that kinda wastes gas and if I just stay here I can switch stuff right away and my clothes actually get done a lot faster.
Last night watched Casino. Love that movie. Classic DeNiro and Pesci…and I sometimes hear people asking why they’re “labeled” as mob actors. Pearls before swine my friend…..pearls before swine. So I’ve invited a few people over for some movie watching tonight. Not sure what we’re going to watch, but that should work itself out. Still working on the spanish. I wish I could just “download” the language into my head like in the Matrix. That’d make things a lot easier. I’m really enjoying doing the studying though because I can tell that stuff is coming back to me. Like I can more easily understand music and people talking fast. I try really hard not to eavesdrop on conversations, but sometimes when I can hear people talking I can at least make out everything they say even if I can’t remember a couple words they use. I need to go hang out a bit in Mexico again. That would bring stuff back really fast.
Tomorrow I think Toll and I are going to go visit the venerable JRod. Should be good times. We all miss that kid. Maybe even go visit the local Taco Bell. I really have a like/hate relationship with that establishment. The food tastes alright to good, but I eat some real stuff and I realize how bad it really is. Maybe they should change their name to Taco Mierda. Not nearly as offensive as when they offered chilitos on the menu and it still sounds “mexican” for all those gringos out here with their mild salsa. Oh what a day that would be.
Well even though all this typing is fun, I think I’m going to get back to my chilled Doctor P and go through some preterit tense exercises and see if I can remember which verbs have the stem changes and which don’t. Then maybe make some more flash cards.
glad to hear your spanish is coming back. I wish I remembered more than I do, but i don’t see myself doing what you are doing- more power to ya! Right now I am trying to memorize all of these stupid population model equations to distinguish perennails, annuals, and biennials from each othe… pretty stupid if you ask me!
