Today I was working on a tema for Spanish class and had to look up a couple words. In hanging out with folks lately, I´d been hearing a certain word often and decided to look that up as well, since it was on my mind. Dumdidum, I gently thumbed through the dictionary, birds chirpping around me, butterflies on my shoulders, my bright eyes sparkling with the thought of learning a new word, a bit of knowledge for my sweet little mind so I could further communicate with my new fellow countrymen... thunder roared, the birds fainted and the butterflies died when I came to the "J" section of my Collins Pocket Plus and my eyes scanned the definition for (Grandma Billie, DO NOT click on this link!) joder.
The link I found only has the one definition, but my dictionary has many more. My favorite part is that it is first and foremost a verb, ha! (Update, Iñaki reminded me that he actually told me this before, the verb thing). So, being the lover of language that I am, I had to look the english word up in an english dictionary too. Yep, it´s a verb. Interesting to know. Sorry if you´re not on my wavelength here, but I think this is hilarious. There I was trying to expand my vocabulary and either hit the jackpot of Spanish expletives or the exact word I should not know in case I accidentally use it in the wrong situation. I´m a glass half full kind of girl, so I´m gonna say it´s a good one to know.
In case you haven´t heard through my mom and dad, Whit the Weege is doing better. She got a phone today and is charging it. She relayed to me that beer is really expenssive in Norway, so I should buy a bunch at the duty free shop when my plane lands, a very important part of my trip to see her. She´ll be taking the "big body" photo for a vote from you all this weekend, so I´ll post that for a fun change soon. She´s written a bunch of blog entries but hasn´t a blog. I told her what to do, since I was once the blog bitch of OregonLive (sorry for the language today GMB, I´m feeling saucy). I won´t tell you much more in case she gets her blog rolling soon and can tell you herself.
Today I´m heading home to hang with Emily. I´ve made her into a Dawson´s Creek fan, and I think she best described it when she said, "it´s so terrible, but I can´t stop watching it." I also need to finish my laundry, which takes days to dry now that it´s colder outside, hence, in the garage where there isn´t a working dryer but a place to hang my clothes out. I sort of like hung dried clothes though. Hmmm, I´ve got a scarf on today, ala Dan and cara last Christmas, which is awesome and I may bust out my Saturday Market knit cap later. My life is so exciting! Well, I´m enjoying it anyway. I´ll keep you posted, until then, I´ll be kickin´ it Darb Style.
