I'll help you with pronounciation when you get here, but you can use this to make fun little cards.
In other news, my job is fun and my students are great, although I'm looking forward to vacation. Let me know Miami stories, things that are happening...

wonderful lessons! stuff in parentheses ends with a number, like this: "对 (dui4)." why? impossibly enough, i sit here trying to sounds chinese. ha.
hung out with catalina and leif on friday, they are just super; they're all ready. even leif, the charming beau himself seems to know he's going to china. please don't forget to post stuff when everybody's out there, i wanna see them doing china!
i haven't seen ariel this weekend because i had a stomach thing that made me crabby and antisocial; i must call him now.
besides all that, while i was in vzla., carlos *became my guardian angel and* moved my 'puter into my room, along with a mixer, a keyboard, and a mic. (i hadn't done this because i would lose the internet, as i knew it; i would have to buy stuff and go wireless or buy a 400ft. ethernet cable!) S0ooo, i went wireless last night and here i am, back trying lo upload, download, post, blog, blah, blah, blah. the kids are in georgia 'til wednesday and that may be why my stomach is ill...maybe not.
my house is very cold right now, the clouds are moving in, and i've just downloaded this band Wall of Voodoo, s/t 12" EP...they're sort of great...at least during this time, writing this post. check out mutant-sounds.blogspot.com to download an insane, variety of music.
weLL. wELL...post more pictures you bumb! and big, hugs always,
i--
wow! THANK YOU!

Isaaaaaa!
Wow, I missed you for a little while there.
The number refers to the tone: 1 is monotone, 2 is a rising tone (like a question) 3 starts a bit high, falls, then rises higher and 4 falls quickly.
Glad to know you have a set up. If you are making music please God send me some. I miss my art network more than anything. How was Venezuela?
CAT!
Sounds awesome. I'm totally down to hang out. Listen, I'll meet you in like China or something and then we can grab a bite or whatever. byebye!
Hi, I have a new comuter!!! well, a really good used one! It's from Robbie and it was the art room (set-up for graphics!)computer from the closed factory...he had it sitting idle and after he saw my website and found out mine was crashing continually (try photoshop files with 28 layers sized 11x17 @ 300 res!) Ka-Boom!!!! I picked it up and Viola!!
super fast with lots of room!
I have been doing super funky video editing of the 20 year old footage from "the room" and various crazy guitar posing all over Miami!!! Little twin critters make cameo appearances!
I figured out the Multitrack recorder and the song is just started-I am saying goodbye to being anti-hi-tech so maybe...I will finally figure it out!
As far as the show, finally approved for Nov. so ...4 months later I should be ready!The world of fashion as seen through the eyes of an anti-fashionista!
so Thanks to Alesh and Chad www.vividtdesign.com looks good and soon will have SOUND and video!
Isabel(I don't have a email for you!)Please check it out and let me know what you think!
so, the group arrives soon and I am very envious of them seeing and hugging you. Have fun !
Loveyerma
