1) ¡Qué Bárbaro! -- how can I forget the greatest invention to come out of Cameroon -- the bean omelet. I just now remembered this after pondering what I was going to do with some leftover lentils. Just add them to an omelet, of course and make a lentil omelet!
2) News Articles Recommended by Me -- then on the 9th day, God created the ozone layer so it can be politicized, thrift stores hurting more than helping?, and An African Spring?, Not so Fast with a cameo from Paul Biya.
3) Se Mezcla -- for some reason, I always want to say 'regarder' instead of 'ver', e.g. Quiero regarder el juego. Also want to say 'dommage' instead of 'lastima.' I don't know what you call that. Franspañol? Espaçais?
4) Comment of the Day -- "Everything is as it should be." I think Baron Baptiste said it. Or maybe Deepak Chopra.
5) Welcome to heaven, here's your harp -- I'm trying to see if I could get accordion lessons. I know what you're thinking: "Me too!" Anyway, I just thought it'd be fun to learn the accordion since its so popular down here. I asked my colleagues if they knew anyone who could teach me. One said he knew someone but he also said I should buy an accordion so I can practice it at home. He said I can get a good one for like $300-400. He said if I had my own, I could be a really good accordion player. I just looked at him, smiling (almost laughing) and saying, "No, no voy a comprarlo." But I like how my colleague has such high hopes for me.
