About halfway through my Spanish course -- course number one; I'll probably sign up for the next course in February -- and I speak about as much Spanish as my cat (i.e. very little, despite the fact that my cat's name is Felix. That's Spanish, or at least Spanish-y, isn't it?). All right, so I've only done the required homework and little else, but for the money I'm paying, I want to be able to carry on a conversation by now, dammit!

I am not the patient type.

Actually, I am getting better, but it's sooo slooow. I need to be pushed and prodded by a native speaker. After all, one of the lead characters in a project I'm working on is a Mexican beauty, and she needs words. Written by me. That are Spanish. In-between all those English words. As it were. Yes.

What is this "project" of which I speak? Right now, it's just words on paper (well, virtual paper), but it's going to turn into something else. Not a lot I can say about it presently, but that'll change. It's definitely fun, and definitely original, so it's worth keeping an eye out for it.

By the way, check out the latest information on the Anarchy Online Booster Pack -- The Notum Wars. Cool name, huh? I think so. Very dramatic. The team's doing some great work, and if you haven't played AO lately -- or at all -- this might be a good time to come back or try it on for size. I'm sure you'll be impressed. And, hey, new customers! Never a bad thing.

So. Now. To bed. Expect a big journal-entry tomorrow.  ¶ 00:07
