The kids loved the reverse trick-or-treat program. They wanted to have a Halloween party but couldn't get their shit together. So, they had it last night and called it November Nightmare. They had a costume contest to win an iPod. This guy won:
as Borat
Since everyone thought I was Alice from Wonderland when I dressed up as Dorothy, I changed up my costume a bit and went as Alice.
they all thought I was Dorothy

mystical santoriniCategory: photos
our pirate ship
the circle of islands are made from a blown out volcano
climbing it was tough because it was a fine layer of volcanic ash
(and it turned my socks yellow)
i claimed the top...'croftapalooza'
it was like being on a martian planet
plato wrote about 'atlantis' in terms of it once being the island of santorini. here you can see his description of the black, red and white cliffs that once held atlantis before it was buried in the sea during the volcanic eruption
we climbed back down the volcano and sailed our pirate ship to a cove where we jumped off the boat! argg.
we swam through the brilliant emerald water, as cold as it was, to find a sulfur hot stream,a little volcanic action hot tub :)
the water was blood red, which was a little creepy, but at least it didn't really smell like egg farts
we enjoyed a lovely sunset on the boat
once we got up the mountain of the mainland, we ate gyros and saddled the donkeys of doom...which we took back down the mountain, while attempting to take photos, while attempting to not fall off as they slip on the cobblestones full of donkey shit
This island is SO worth checking out!

Arabic is not an easy language to learn. Lots of new sounds, which means new pronounciations, and of course an entirely different alphabet. It's a bit overwhelming at times when you're trying to cram in all that information.
At this point I know about half the alphabet and we're starting to learn how the letters are strung together (it's like learning to write cursive before you learn to print).
I noticed a can of Pepsi tonight and took a closer look. Things started to make sense. I could see how the letters were put together to write out 'Bebsi". It's actually called Bebsi because "P" doesn't exist in Arabic. It was a reafirming moment for me. We need those small moments in life when you realize you ARE learning and that you ARE quite capable. It looks like this.
On the funny side of things, did you know there are complaints choirs all over the world?

Here is another strange factoid for you. In Tamil, the sound "ba" doesn't have a corresponding alphabet. You substitute for it with the alphabet "pa". However, if you are familiar with the word, you pronounce it with a "ba" even though it is written with a "pa".
