So I have a free, round trip ticket from jetblue to anywhere in the continental U.S.
…so, who wants to play tour guide? It has to be soon and has to be before Israel…it could (feasibly) be next weekend.

4 Things :o)
1. I am now the proud new owner of a C.F. Martin & Co Backpacker Guitar. I don’t know how to play guitar (yet) but I think being on a kibbutz, sans computer and television (well, not like I own a TV now either) is the perfect time to learn. Guitars just bring people together…plus it makes teaching English to younger kids fun.
2. Today is my last day actually teaching with Scott…then the students in the course start presenting their semester long research. I’m excited to see what they’ve come up with.
3. I’m madly, madly in love with Fred Astaire…this isn’t so much news, but something that probably bears repeating…I need to get a copy of the Gay divorcee on DVD before I head to Israel.
4. My Phonetics Project is going swimmingly!
Now, maybe some more sleep.

Phonetic Spectrographic Analysis: Complete
I’m done with the Phonetic Spectrographic Analysis. Three pages long, single spaced, Times New Roman, font size 12. For those of you curious, I had to read something that looked like this:
I had to analyze it, explain why each segment was what I thought it was, and say what it said. This is not the actual spectrogram I had to decipher, but is for illustration purposes. Forensic linguists use this to determine your height and whether or not you’re faking your accent. I am not a forensic linguist (yet)…but catch up with me in twenty or thirty years.
Now, I’m going to bed for two hours, so I can wake up and go to class, then transcribe Tagalog for an hour, then class for two hours, then transcription for another hour, then a meeting for work for god knows how long…then taking Jeruen out for Dinner to thank him for being my language informant for the semester.
Peace all.

Sex Soundtrack
I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far has not been good
It’s been shitty
And I feel awkward as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place
Well I’m not paralyzed
But I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
I hold out for one more drink
Before I think
I’m looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well I’m still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place
Well I’m not paralyzed
But I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
[repeat 2x]
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
[repeat]
