in class today, we talked about commercials and slogans. it was an exercise to get us to use different vocabulary. anyway, it reminded me of this super hilarious commercial that is on TV here in spain. it starts with an aerial view of something that looks like the oval office and then it moves in on a clinton look-alike and then appears a monica look-alike and you know what they're peddling? mejillones...oysters/mussels. how funny is that?

anyway, there are days when i feel like i'm totally improving in my speaking ability and then on other days, it's like i can't get the words past my lips to actually talk to another person. oi... but i suppose this is how it always is when you're learning another language, eh?

later, i'm going to see my first movie here in spain, well, at the theater anyway. it's the butterfly effect, you know, the lame movie with ashton kutcher. it's dubbed in spanish so it should be an interesting experience.

and it's raining here...again. boo.
