The quickest way to add drama to studying spanish (or anything, really) is to play the Titanic soundtrack in the background. I was wondering why I was getting so antsy when I realized that this is the track where they discover the iceberg. Hello misplaced adrenaline! No need to show up when I’m reading over adverbs.

Today sucked.
I’m going to make sure tomorrow is better.
Thank goodness I had a happy little baby at home to greet me. His cuddles are about the only thing that calm me down these days.
enjoy the sunshine
I’m looking forward to another pleasant weekend.
Things to do include:
- Mow the grass
- Study for a spanish quiz
- Clean the bathroom
- Laundry, laundry, laundry, laundry, laundry…
- Maybe buy paint, maybe not
- Deposit check
- Grill up some steaks
- Tickle the kidlets mercilessly
lolcat friday and a mystery reference

Also, I switched to a new feed (yay feedburner) so if you’ve been having problems with posts not updating, there is an upgrade. =D My default wordpress one is so sketchy.
And one last thing not worth creating a new post for: I want this print for my birthday.
Another edit to trip out those of you reading on feedreaders who click over: Arrested Development, the movie (as edited by an awesome youtube user)(and unfortunately not an actual trailer)
throwing caution to the wind
Locally, there is some activity stirring up so I’ve been badgering other bloggers. I’ve been considering the idea about posting on local issues but I really don’t think any of you all care much about it. I’m abysmal at running more than one blog though, even though I’d prefer to start such a thing separately. Hmmm.
Speaking of my many overflowing projects, Vakker and I started up a podcast called Idiosyncrasy. I have spelled that name wrong so many times. Every time I type it I have to spell check. =D But we like it, so there. I still need to register it with itunes, but that will be sorted out today too. We’re still tweaking the design (like, majorly) so look for improvements in the future. Check it out though, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Otherwise, I’m trying to prepare for my trip in August. I got a few quotes for renting a car to drive out to VA and about fell over. $1000 for two weeks. Yowch. So I’m tempted to just drive our car and be done with it, engine knocking or no. Heh.
I shouldn’t have visited Carcomplaints.com though, because apparently my car’s engine has a defect where it spontaneously catches fire because engine oil leaks into the manifold gaskets. Um… Prixy, don’t kill us and I’ll give you the good gasoline. =D I guess it shows how badly I want to get out there. I’ll drive slow, or the speed limit, the whole way. Besides, I have car insurance and a cell phone. We’ll have a proper adventure!
Pack the hiking boots.
