this morning in a last minute cab ride to work (i was late because i was tired because i baked eight pies last night) i got a cabbie who spoke little\/no english, which is not uncommon in my ‘hood. what was weird was that, though he was brazillian, he spoke flawless castellian spanish. this meant that i understood him pretty well, and we got to chatting. it basically turned into an english 101 lesson. he want s to learn to speak better, and write in english. to that end, he asked me to tutor him! i don’t think i am totally qualified but he seemed to like me, and having a friend who is a cabbie couldn’t be the worst thing in the world (though i did just get my zipcar membership in the mail, who knows). <\/p>\n
i am mostly impressed that i was able to speak enough to be understood. my knowledge of spanish is so book-based. i am not a strong speaker (though i have a decent accent), but i have pretty good comprehension. i suck a dialectical spanish though. <\/p>\n
it will be interesting to see where that goes.<\/p>\n
tonight i am meeting with a bloke who is supposed to undertake a huge software project, which i may or may not be project managing. what seemed enterprising on the front end has turned into a slow downward spiral of decreasingly impressive e-mails. i think he is probably a douchebag with enough talk to fool a user, but not enough tech to talk shop.<\/p>\n
i hope it doesn’t go as badly as i think.<\/p>\n
monday night, the giants won, and i was there to enjoy it with a whole mess of online peeps. thanks for the great times all.<\/p>\n
friday i am helping a friend move, saturday is a b-day thing in the day, halloween party by night. sunday, i think i will expire.<\/p>\n
we shall see.<\/p>\n
