Spanish is done. Where are all you people? I'm talking to myself.

15 minutes? That's quick.

Toto is seriously cute and your apartment looks seriously huge!

Yeah, it's just the second day, so I only had two pages to read. I'll go over the vocab more on the train.

He is! And the apartment is huge! Life is good.

I've been making lists and dreading actually doing anything about them. Watch me be productive now!

Toto is pretty cute.

Happy Belated Birthday to Anne! I hope it was a lovely one and that the year to come is worthy of your fabulousness.

I was buried under a mountain of work and couldn't play yesterday. Today looks the same.

Learning Spanish is on my list as well. There are so many Spanish speaking people in my area. I've tried a couple times but got bogged down with other life stuff and didn't get far.

I learn languages easily enough, but I do not understand people well. Sad to say that every time someone with a strong accent calls I have to give the phone to DH because he can understand anyone. I have to be looking at BIL's face to understand him. I adore him and it makes me sad when he calls my cell to chat and I can only catch a quarter of what he is saying.

Off to school... Be back... I hope...

Aw, cute Toto! Is this your first semester of Spanish, vw? I think it's a relatively easy language to learn, but that may just be me. I'm like Laura, though, in that I can read and write Spanish better than I understand spoken Spanish. It's quite frustrating when I really need to be able to communicate live. I blame it on the fact I didn't start studying it until I was nearly 40, harder to learn languages the older you get.

Is this your first semester of Spanish, vw?

It is. Technically I had it in high school, but I've retained very little of it.

Ok! I'm off. You guys have a good day.

Blerg. So tired. Woke up at 2am, went to the bathroom, came back and a sleeping Tom, about every 2-4 minutes, heaves a completel lower body TWITCH thing that jars me from getting back to sleep. I end up staying awake for an hour... seriously considering just getting up and like going to work or something... but Tom gave me half an ativan which helped dispel some of the insomnia anxiety and I kinda sorta was able to sleep for another 3 hours, though very lightly and with very weird dreams.

FUCK YOU INSOMNIA FAIRY.

Anyway, the long and short of it is, 2 short naps overnight did not a good night's sleep make, so I'm just tired and cranky and tired some more.

I think that the play that Daniel Radcliffe did was Equus , wasn't it? Is he doing it somewhere else now and thus the new publicity pictures?

It's too frakking cold. 3 degrees - bah! And my "lovely" new heating system is just not able to stand up to that kind of cold. It was 60 degrees in my bedroom when I went to bed. I turned the heater up and when I woke up it was 56. See, that's NOT how heaters are supposed to work.

We are now packing up and heading for TX -- have a great day, everyone!
