El perro es malo

The dog is bad.

I 'm taking Spanish.

I bought a course online and its supposed to be phenomenal. so in the next few days i will wow you with my Spanish vocab. which already is bigger then yesterday.

its got a cool way of linking shit in your brain so you can never forget.

duck - pato
rat - rata
mouse - raton
donkey - burro
bull - toro
dog - perro
cat - gato
goose - ganso
fish - pez
monkey - mono
cow - vaca

and i didn't even go look those up right now... i really know them.

El is masculine [ remembering men are h-EL-l to live with, and if the word ends in O its masculine]

if it ends in A its feminine. like rata, vaca etc.

El gato es armarillo. - the cat is yellow. nonsensical maybe, but its not wrong.

and i only did chapter 1 so far... which is animals... so get off my back. i'll learn useful stuff soon.

animal - animal
salmon - salmon
wasp - avespa
bee - abeja
pig - cerdo


the list goes on. its amazing really... i learned all those last night in about 10 minutes. all by way of mental imagery.


go on... tell me how smart I am.

Arthurs - I like your blogs. Keep them up, you don't need to write an essay everytime.

Who the fuck is CW? Is that some strange acronym for studhorse?

Stay away from old flames, unless your fire is burning so high a little fuel won't affect your daily life (that is you haven't been laid for so long it's just about getting off, not the relationship cause that is just unhealthy). Whore.

Your beets comment made me think - how does the body digest color? I always thought color was the healthyest thing you could eat, and the color was actually a consumer in the body of all things bad like oxidants etc.......

I should have emailed you.

1st place for longest comment in your blog.
