Since its near the end of the year, many members are cooped up with the extra work to do. I know I am.

Plus there hasn't been any exciting news of late.

Hope the prof returns soon. He has been out for a long time. We missed him, don't we?

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes

Well.. I went on vacation for a bit. ^_^ That might have a large effect on it. When I do stop by and post I usually post up a storm!

Yup, same for me -- I was away on vacation. But, I gotta lower my presence even further these next few weeks, as I've got...

... last assignments and finals approaching soon for which I have to dedicate time...

... the anime club's end-of-semester 12-hour marathon this Saturday which I have to organize...

... and another costume, which I'm creating for a local parade this Saturday night, for which I just got the inspiration this past weekend! (I just got back from buying 10 yards of 1" thick, 36" wide open-cell foam. And a lot of glue. And I'll be going back to buy more materials mid-week.)

Yeah, these next few weeks are going to be pretty busy... ^_^






So... IT'S "FLITZ TIME" EVERYBODY! | NEXT STAGE IS 7 |

Thanks! I'm certainly gonna need it -- here's hoping I can pull off these next few weeks with less sleep than usual, so that I have more time for the projects. ^_^; (Gonna have to work hard, exercise a lot too...)

Coolness. Hope to see it when it's done.

All right, well, gotta get to work -- so, for now, later!

I've been so busy.. ICQ usually bogs down my computer so it doesn't run as fast. AIM does'nt have the same effect so I'm usually using AIM. But even then I haven't been on lately. I've been weighted down with lots of homework. The end of the semester comes to an end and so I've gotta work my ass off. ^_^;

I know what you mean,Talb (can I call you this way ?) . It's probably because of the end of the year,some people have extra work or final exams,others are beginning to enjoy their vacations,and others are doing both !!
Don't worry,it will get better soon ! Recently I've played lots of good things,like Kingdom Hearts,MK : Deadly Alliance and Mario Party 4,among others . I won't be able to discuss about them today,but be sure that until the end of the year you'll see many posts of mine commenting on these wonders of the electronic world (beginning on next weekend) !!!

The children being cheap reminded me of Bao, you see. So I had to but them in their place with Kalik skills.

Hey! You should understand spanish, you lazy wolf!

Este es mi quinto año a pesar de estar en 4º, es una putada a partir de 3º, y lo peor es que 4º es mucho más difícil (aunque este año estoy estudiando más, eso si). Son 5 años, pero con terminar en 6 o 7 me vale...

Well, then, that changes now!

Repeat after me:

El queso está viejo y podrido.
[El keh-so esta vyeho ii podrido.]
(The cheese is old and moldy.)

¿Donde está el baño?
([¿: hold ALT-1-6-8] Donde esta el ba[ny: hold ALT-1-6-4]o?)
(Where is the bathroom?)

Well, it's a start...




Seriously, though -- the main way to learn is a little bit of research, then practice -- then a little bit more research, then more practice. This is essentially the way that I'm learning Japanese right now -- of course, it helps that I watch a lot of subtitled anime and play a lot of import video games. If you're really interested in learning it (and that's key, since otherwise you won't have the motivation for it) -- pick up a simple How to Speak Spanish book or program, and start there. Then maybe try watching Univision or Telemundo or something like that for a bit, and see what words or grammatical functions you can pick up, or what verbal patterns you can pick up (like noticing how o is never pronounced ou, a is never pronounced ah, e is never pronounced ei, etc.) Then, try practicing a bit here, maybe even trying to stage a conversation with yourself (it's all for the sake of education, so it won't be too weird ^_^), or maybe even try throwing out a response after a while here on the Cafe! It may take a while to at least get to a point of conversational Spanish, but it's at least possible to get there. Just be patient over several years with practice...

And, don't expect to know everything about Spanish. I doubt any one of us here knows all of English, for example. ^_^

The problem is that TE lives surrounded by spanish (all his family speaks it), but he couldn't or didn't wanted to learn it, so... maybe he's negated for languages.
