The Day of the Dead

This week is Halloween. In Latin America, they have something similar to Halloween. It is entitled, El Dia de los Muertos. They are similar but really have vast differences. El Dia de los Muertos es muy interesante. 

Pan's Labyrinth

This week I watched the fantastic, beautiful Spanish movie, Pan's Labyrinth. It is dramatic, unnerving at times and gorgeously shot. I know that many of you watched it for our movie assignment. La pelicula es muy fantastica.

Spanish Horror Movies

Alright so, I am a BIG horror movie buff. The scarier, more controversial, creepier, the better. And although  America does have some great horror movie classics, we are far behind when it comes to other countries, like that of Spain and Mexico. Two movies that are in Spanish and are filmed by Spanish directors are The Orphanage and Pan's Labyrinth. I recommend watching these movies for our weekend assignment. They are both terribly good and pretty creepy.  No estoy panico a peliculas.

Hasta luego!

This week in Spanish class...

Hola clase! This week we learned how to combine subjects with adjectives in Spanish in a sentence. Es muy importante en la lengua de espanol. We also learned how to identify certain objects like churches, mountains and beaches. We learned how to explain that a certain thing was in a country or was of that country.

For instance, "Los coches japoneses," is the same as saying "The Japanese cars."

Hasta Luego!

Mi Familia

My family is a little eccentric. But aren't all families that way? Pretty normal but we all have our quirks. I'm probably the weirdest out of my immediate family. I listen to music that no one else likes, I'm a "die-hard liberal" in a house full of "conservatives." That really doesn't matter though. Mi familia es de Amarillo, TX. It's interesting to witness my parents and my younger brother growing older. I know that I am growing older also, but it's as if I am stuck in slow motion, watching them change. It's strange yet refreshing. Mi familia es loco, pero divertido.

very very scary

Today, I made a trip to the grocery store and I happened to stumble on the highly credible British magazine, The Sun. It is basically nothing but a huge pot of ridiculousness piled together with crappy photoshopped pictures of cows being eaten by mutant space bugs or something of that insane nature. Regardless, I still look at them because lines are long, I don't care about Dancing With The Stars drama, and they're funny to make fun of. In the latest issue of The Sun, there is a feature on the dreaded Latin monster, La Chupacabra. Apparently, many goat-herders in South America are frustrated because there herds are being sliced in numbers by this little demon.

Quite terrifying, isn't it? Estoy asustado de la chupacabra.
