So much for not being ready for anyone right now bullshit.
But I'm being unfair.

Watched Shawshank Redemption, and then Lost In Translation (again). I've lost count how many times I've seen it.

Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be.
Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.

That line would have sucked if it had been in any other movie. It works with Coppola's somehow.

I'm excited about going back, but maybe not so much as everyone else here. I keep imagining myself wasting 3 months doing nothing like I always do at home. This thing of always making tomorrow better than today is hard work. Might look for something to do, and I want to mean it this time.

from Spain:

me: ok, so nak bayar separately kan? how to say?
erra: uno by uno.

me (to cashier): um..can we separate the bills?
cashier: uh?
me: separate them
cashier: separado?
me: oh, right, separado.

some things are pretty obvious in spanish. tuna is 'atuna' and ham is 'jamon' (pronounced ha-mon). but some things are still totally different for sure. brother is still 'hermano', and not 'brothero'.
(Arrested Development anyone?)
