Ok, so for a long time I've been halfheartedly trying to learn Spanish. I heard of a way to do it by doing it in a blog, so I'll try it. So I'll try to clear up the questions. It's funny I get them mixed up. It's like in English, you think, "How can you confuse how with where?" But it's like learning a code. Bear with me. dónde = where qué = what quién = who porqué = why cuándo = when cómo = how cuánto = how much So I get cuándo and cuánto mixed up for obvious reasons. And then we've all be taught "¿Cómo te llamas?" is what is you name? but doesn't that translate to how is your name. Well, those are todays words. I'll try to learn them. |
| I went to Bacliff on Friday and had a good time there. Friday we got in late and didn't do much. But Saturday I went with my brother to Jack Brooks Park in Texas City. We were going to mountain bike. The trails are very wooded, brushy, and flat at first impression. Then we went to an area where they actually got trails with contours and to an extent where you actually have to be careful. I don't quite know how to describe it. It's dirt with roots above the ground everywhere and hills and gullies and tractioned narrow bridges. But the hills are small and the gullies small, but in mountain bike riding terms, they are large, at least form my limited experience. For that matter my experience is pretty much limited to riding on rock that's flat and roads. I was having a great time, a little cautious, because it was the first time I did something like that. I think the biggest danger is slipping on the roots. Fortunately I didn't fall anywhere, but I wasn't pushing very hard. We were just getting going pretty good and I was pedaling hard up one of the hills, when my back wheel slipped and started grinding against the bar. I couldn't pedal anymore. I didn't have a wrench to fix it, so we had to lead our bikes back about a mile to the car. That was disappointing. It whet my appetite for mountain bike riding and ended too soon. It makes me want to get a good bike. The one I got now was free. My friend didn't want it anymore, so I got it. |

I just saw the movie Lifeforce (1985) for the second time. I got it from Best Buy for about a dollar awhile back but haven't watched the DVD. So I was bored and watched it. The last time I saw it, I was probably around 13, so I completely forgot. It's incredibly stupid and I wouldn't say the acting is bad, but the characters always seem to be on queue. Watching British actors mess up their American accent is amusing, but hard to believe. It cracks me up how they say 'girl.' It's funny how they keep coming up with the correct solutions to bizarre problems immediately. Also it seems that people never question exploring strange space ships and bringing in aliens back to their ship without even bothering with quarantines. As with Alien, you know that when any movie brings the problem to the ship without caution, everyone is going to die. Well, except for maybe one. But the best thing is that you get to see aliens, vampires, zombies, and Patrick Stewart in the same movie with pointless explosions. That and the alien woman vampire is almost always naked. Whoohoo. I was entertained. |
