just a small moment of weakness..

So, I'm driving around one day and I found this.....


Is it sad that I followed the arrow until the road ended? Or is the the fact that I went back to take a picture pathetic enough for you?
:) Can't wait to go home yall. see ya in october

In the news =)

So, in my quest to be completely fluent in Spanish(even if it is against my will) I'm having to relearn a LOT of new vocabulary. It's different learning everything for a second time, but i discovered something new today besides my usual new vocab.

So, the lesson we're studying now is called "in the news" pretty useful, i know. But my new words include kidnapping, two words for thief, 3 words for a corpse, 3 works for saying "shots", 3 words for saying "to shoot", murder, wounded, 2 words for dead (not a body, just dead), to arrest, escape, to flee, 7 new words for different guns, 4 for knives, 3 words for assault, etc. You get the idea. There is one word that does not involve someone getting hurt, and that is "rescue team". Sooo, if this is all I have to look forward to in reading the news...i think I'll pass. My homework assignment is to find a news broadcast and present it in Spanish to the class. Well, after a long search, I found a news article in spanish that didn't involve anyone dying but I could still pronounce most of the words. I ended up learning a lot of new vocab in doing so.

By the way, the article is on illegal immigration. I'll be reading it to my Mexican teachers....im excited. :) hee hee.

Before I forget!

I actually got off my boring butt and went out this weekend. I saw the movie "don't mess with the Zohan"
It was awesome, i loved it, it was funny, BUT.....

at times it was a bit controversial (at best) and it has kind of a sick/perverted sense of humor. I recommend seeing it, but if you have a kid under the age of 13 (which is PUSHING IT) don't let them see it for another 5-10 years or so. I'm not sure what it's rated, but it should be R.

However, I saw Kung Fu Panda the week before, which is also AWESOME. and the humor was a lot cleaner, but still fun for teenagers and adults too, ya know? I'm a big fan of Jack Black, but you don't have to be to really enjoy that movie.
So, i'm done giving my reviews. I just wanted to spread a lil warning just in case you were thinking of sneaking your kid into the theater with Zohan, or letting them watch it when it comes out on DVD.

The man who brought Sexy back is dead to me now...not Justin! Now picture included ;)

So, I just ran 2 and 1/2 miles and now i'm sitting my stinky butt at my computer. It's cold outside but after that first lap around the track, i was a lot warmer. Now, my skin has a reddish tint to it and if I didn't know that I was such a pale freak I would think I was tan...oh the wishful thinking. I'm more likely going to get a tan being in Arkansas in Oct than here in CA during the summer. sigh.

So, I found out something today that through me off. Yall remember Enrique Iglesias? That sexy man you sings in that wonderful Spanish accent "you can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love!" Well, even though I know Spanish names and I know almost every concrete noun in Spanish that you can throw at me...It didn't register until today that translated, Enrique Iglesias's name is....Henry Churches.

(Pausing for effect)

Is that not the worst thing you have ever heard? A man like him should be Sexy McMan in english, not Henry Churches. Honestly, a little of me died when i heard that...I'll never be able to think about that man again without thinking of a fat old guy in a friar's robe.

Anywho, other than that not too much is new. i posted a really REALLY long blog a lil while ago about how homesick I was, how crazy my family is, how every other teenager has a much crazier weekend than I do because (alas) I am wise beyond my years, etc. ...but then my internet shut off, deleting the post i had been typing for 45 minutes. So, i was a bit slow writing this one due to my frustration. i'm going to go now before
it does it...again. Ya'll have a nice day! Love you bunchies and bunchies.
