Spanishy tomfoolery

[arrowwhiskers]

So today in Spanish class we had to perform little skits, and we were given a couple choices as to what they could be about. The one we chose was about family therapy, and as I was the only girl in the group, I was the wife, having trouble with my jealous husband. Except the guy who was playing him fucked up the line, so it went something like this:

Terepeuta: Cómo han estado las relaciones entre ustedes?
Mi esposo: ¡No han estado bien! ¡Ella ha visitado mi hermana de una manera inapropiada!! (debió decir hermano)

*todos se echan a reír*

(basically, he accused me of being lesbionic with his sister)

The entire class totally cracked up, myself included, I was laughing so hard I could barely say the next line. It was pretty amazing.

And at work, two of my coworkers were chatting in Spanish, and I could only understand a little of it, but then again they were standing right next to the radio... And then they had an argument about how to say pickles in Spanish...Genesis was like "it's los píquels!" and Tino was all "noooooo it's not, gtfo. I can't remember what it is but it aint that", until finally he Googled it on his crazy internet phone. I don't remember what they said it was, but I did learn that cucumber is pepino, y turkey is pavo. :3

The rest of today was exhausting and not particularly noteworthy. One of my other friends from work told me that there IS an anime club here...it's just not official yet since they're still ironing out the bureaucracy. She said that next week there's going to be games for Halloween--including chopstick relays with candy corn! Doesn't that sound fun? I wanna go, except that's the day before my huge research paper is due. Blar.

Oh man. I am really torn, since I am craving AIM time like crazy, but I can't even believe how much more focused I am without it. One day, I'll have free time again. I have to believe it...

I know his pain, you were having an affair with my sister when we were married as well. :P

There being an anime club for some odd reason makes me want to start one here even more. I'd never want it to be official though, official implies we have a representative at every Student Government Association meeting, giving updates on how the club is doing or something. I don't get it, thats why I just want to do it as an unofficial thing in a room somewhere xP

I wish breaking off of AIM would help me focus. No one talks to me anyways, so its not much of a distraction. The rest of the internet is. And Video games. And books. And food. And sleep.... xP

Rai, your language exploits make me happy. Also, I unfortunately started listening to all the French music you've linked me to over the years, and started picking a little bit of French back up- right before my German oral exam. I went in there and said "et" instead of "und" and "il neige" instead of whatever the hell it is in German- for, like, the entire thing. It was really bad.

And I tried to remember what "glasses" was, and I thought it was "brille," but then I was all like "no, that's just Spanish for shine" and it turned out it was. D:< Life is tough.

Erm, random question. I might be going abroad next year for a semester to Scotland, so I need a laptop (cause lugging my desktop over there is just not an option). What type of laptop did you get? You were looking into a really cheap one...and that's what I need, heh. Decent battery life would be nice too.

I got an MSI Wind--kind of got ripped off on it, because I thought they had discontinued them and got it for a ramped up price on Ebay, but it was still really cheap all things considered.

Seriously, I use this thing all day every day, I don't even think about the battery. It goes for like 6 hours.
But, you can save $100 if you get the 3 cell one with about half the battery life, which is here:

But if you can afford it, I really recommend getting the 6 cell. It's incredible.

Basically, I totally recommend this computer. It's kind of annoying not having an internal disk drive, but other than that, I have absolutely no complaints, it's worked really well for me. :)

i think you can get USB disk drives for...i derno, $40+, plus you'd probably only need to use that when you're at a desk anyway.

newegg has some of the MSI Winds for under $500, but i'm not sure if they have the 6 cell battery. i will look into it though. thanks dearie!

Oh man, I hear you on the free time thing. It is no mere coincidence that my return to the internets happened during fall break which I am working straight through, sssh. theoretically. I don't want to write this paper.
