I haven't kept this thing up to date like I thought I would. I've been sick, sunburned and just plain lazy for a couple weeks. I need to get more vitamins in my diet. Probably this means buying multi-vitamins. One thing is certain, I've gotten my daily values of vitamin D, maybe even some melenoma to boot. My whole back was tomato red from my trip to Cartagena. The sun really is different here. I've been burned pretty badly in the past, but nothing like this. Anyway, now I look like a leper. Here are some conversation exerpts I thought you would enjoy:
'what did you eat today?'
"leftover salchipapa."
'oh. Because it's making you funnier.... than... you really are.'
-Harold
In case you haven't picked up on it yet, "these" denote something I have said, and 'these' are for whoever I am speaking to. Here's another one:
'this is a nice neighborhood--in fact, I had a friend who used to live in that building.'
"cool."
'It's a nice condom.'
"the word is 'condo'. Or 'condominium'"
'Oh. Thank you!'
"Anytime. ...You know I'm going to blog about this, right?"
-Harold
'Como estas, Evan?'
"meh... Asi-asi..."
'...que?'
"asi-asi?"
'you just said "like-like"?'
"I thought it was "so-so"..."
'we don't say that here.'
"i swear someone said it two or three times last night. It's the same as "mas o menos.... I remember seeing it in my dictionary"
'we say "mas o menos"... Así-así doesn't make sense."
"Really? Must be a Mexico thing. Stupid flash cards."
-Juliana y Kevin
