Mi espanol es very bad

You don't need a Ph.D. in Spanish to read that, right?

Life without a computer is interesting in our modern era. It's been 1.5 weeks since a certain still beloved person under 3.5 feet dropped a chair on my computer abruptly ending it's life. Since the computer still turns on with the message "no operating system found", we're hopeful it's only the hard drive. Hunt's ordered some software to diagnose the problem, I occasionally use his computer in the meantime and read (novel idea?)

During the crash process I was in the process of downloading, yep, Spanish listening materials. I don't have a really good reason for deciding to re-take up Spanish. No travel plans, no Hispanic BFFs. I think I just need a new hobby here in Chantilly. Surely if I've learned Chinese, I can beef up my two year basics from high school...I don't know. I've been talking to our hotel maids in Spanish and sounding pretty dumb. I tell them "Yo (I) necesito practicar" then do a lot of pantomime. They get really excited and start jabbering faster than any human could possibly comprehend (with the exceptions of humans from Spain and Latin American countries, I guess).

No pics to post since I, well, lost the recent ones. (Everything through last month was, thankfully, backed up at Hunt's parents.) I think the newer ones are on my camera if I can motivate myself to go through them again without Photoshop to spruce them up. What did I do before that program?
