I’ve just spent the last half hour butchering the spanish language. I need to apologize to the people of guatemala to whom I’ve spoken with on the phone. You have been very nice to this loco norteamericano. If only I had spent more time eschuche en la clase instead of dormÈ en la clase, I would be doing much better. Or maybe if I had just focused on one language instead of taking french, then spanish, then swedish, and then back to spanish.

If lady luck is smiling upon me, at approximately sieto y media I will be able to speak with my lovely wife. If not I will be forced to babble incomprehensibly at the gentleman on the other end of the phone while the only spanish phrases that will come to mind are: mis pantalones esta en fuego, donde esta el baÒo? and Hace mucho frio en minnesota.

I’ve added a new little feature to the site, courtesy of a really cool new website that John Dennett gave me the heads up on. (And patiently explained how to use it when it turned out that I was retarded)

The website is called del.icio.us and it’s a “social bookmarking” website. It allows you to easily bookmark articles or sites to your del.icio.us page, store them there, and share them with others via a website, my del.icio.us, or via an rss feed.

The second avenue allows me to use a new movabletype plugin called mt-rssfeed and put my 5 most recent links from del.icio.us right on my site! Neato huh?

As John said over on his post about del.icio.us:

I can perhaps blog about more meaningful life events here (It’s a reasonable dream, right?)

They can never take our dreams, John, they can never take our dreams.

Thanks to everyone who sent me a card or called or IM’ed to say hi!

I don’t know if I feel any older though…

Can anyone else confirm that my site looks all crazy under Safari?

Update: fixed it…

It’s Groundhog Day, and Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter

The world’s most famous furry forecaster “saw” his shadow this chilly Groundhog Day morning, which according to tradition means six more weeks of winter.

I think we know who to blame for all the hoopla surrounding Groundhog Day. Bill Murray.

I’ve been feeling the urge to switch things up a bit with the design… so you may see you weird things happening in the next few days with the layout…
