One, dos, trois...

{source}

I'm in the midst of learning my third language; English being my first, Spanish my second, and French my third.  I'm having an interesting time of it.  It's entertaining how sometimes Spanish slips in there unannounced.  It was kinda cute at first, but now it's just plain annoying.

There must be some part in my brain where wires are getting crossed.  It's probably like one of those old-timey switchboards.  "I'll connect you."  Gah... wrong hole!

It's getting to be a habit where if I don't know the word I want to use in French, I will grab the word in Spanish without really even thinking about it.  It does make for some pretty entertaining sentences once in a while, but probably won't get me an A in the course.

Normalcy!

Okay so it wasn't Johnson, it was Harding. And it wasn't made up, it was "rescued from obscurity."

Thank god for the internet.

The Tree of... Life?

Instead of a planet in a galaxy, we actually live on leaves of a tree floating in space.  The veins of the leaves are actually streets, the branches are hi-ways.  Our homes, schools, shopping centers are all comprised of clusters of pores and the cuticles of the leaves.

So, you can imagine how terrifying Fall is, then.

It's a... frog??

I was pregnant, and not happy about it. Then when I delivered, instead of a baby came a flesh-colored frog-looking creature. With a human head. And it could already talk, and boy did he have a mouth on him!

Thank you, lame hippie girl on the 3B

for answering a question I didn't even know I had:

Which is more annoying on the bus: Being forced to listen to rap or hippie music?

First, who actually thinks that everyone in their general vicinity is just dying to hear what's blaring out of their cellphone/iPod speakers?

And secondly... I have always hated being forced to listen to shitty rap music blaring out of someone's practically blown cellphone speakers. What ever happened to headphones? Hello people! Blow your own eardrums out. Not like it's real surprising, though. People are so rude/oblivious nowadays.

But I had no idea that people also blared shitty hippie music out of iPods all distorted-like. Really?

Well, there's a first. And I can tell you that being forced to listen to shitty hippie music sucks just as much as being forced to listen to shitty rap music.

Geeking out.

(SS) Abby told me how all the Hollywood Videos are closing in the Twin Cities last night. (/SS)

(TT) I went to one, and I was the only customer. It was incredible. 10 DVDs for $10, just like Abby said! I started rummaging through the SCIFI section... Such goodies! Old Batman stuff... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... All my favs! Even things I didn't know existed, but that I instantly knew I would love... all there for ME, and super cheap. Then all of a sudden people started crowding in on either side of me. My arms full of treats, I made my way through the crowd. I'm short, so it's easy to get lost... You know when there are so many people that you can't tell which direction you are going?

I managed somehow to get out of the crowd. And walked into what I can only describe as... Comic Book Guy's estate sale. OMG. Heaven. Again I was alone, and had first dibs on everything. (/TT)

RCH - Go, Mother Boards!

All I can say is... Robot Catholic High School? Complete with uniforms.

It was shaped like a mall, and acted like one, too. You would go around to different classrooms (stores) and obtain an education disc to insert...
