1.  I have been feeling scattered.  Like my energy has dissipated and spread out like fog.  Have you ever tried to collect fog?

2.  Culo is, in fact, not Spanish for cool.

3.  I took the bar exam 10 years ago this week.  I still have a t-shirt that says, “Do it once. Do it right. Never do it again.”

4.  The Spanish word for ‘pregnant’ is the same as the Spanish word for ‘embarrassed’:  Embarazada.  I can’t tell if I find that a little funny or a little wrong.

5.  Instigator and I went to lunch today.  She ate a salad.  I ate steak. Figures.

6.  Las mujeres buenas van al cielo… las malas a cualquier parte.

Good girls go to heaven… the bad ones wherever they want.

7.  I’ve been feeling a bit on edge.  On Sunday, when I tried to exit the train, people pressed in toward me, trying to board.  This is such idiocy.  I surprised myself by yelling, “BACK OFF.”

Fight or Flight?

Fight.

8.  English has 6 verb tenses.  Spanish has 14.

What.  The.  Hell.

9.  You don’t take something personal.  You take it personally.  You don’t take something serious.  You take it seriously.

10.  I have to learn 68 Spanish verbs for class on Thursday.

Dude, I don’t even do 68 different things.

Anyone else a little cranky?
