This will be embarrassing

"Do you know enough Spanish that you could write 1 paragraph in it next time you blog? Then translate it for us who don't know it. Just a thought, that way we can see the progress you're making. "

Sure.

Rather than pretend I know words I don't, I'll keep words I don't know in English. I could go to Google translate and look up the word but what would that show? That I know how to use the web?

Es Lunes! No hay nuevos estudiantes in la clase hoy. Cual es loco porque yo veo ocho personas testing en la manana. La clase en la manana estaba muy facil. Mucho review. Todos los personas tenian un bueno fin de semana pero dos o tres personas han trabajado demasiado. Mi novia y yo teniemos un traquilo fin de semana. Un poco tinto y mucho veo le tele y leyendo libres. En la noche de Domingo teniemos cena en el restaurante "Kourgi." Wendy tenia pollo y para mi, buey, muy poco hecho.

It's Monday! No new students in class today. Which is crazy because I saw 8 people testing in the morning. The class this morning was very easy. A lot of review. Everyone had a good weekend but two or three people worked too much. My girlfriend and I had a quiet weekend. A little red wine, a lot of TV and a lot of reading books. Sunday evening we had dinner at the restaurant "Kourgi". Wendy had chicken and for me - steak, rare (literally - very little done.)

    Just a few corrections, hope it helps!

    Es Lunes! Hoy no hay nuevos estudiantes en clase. Lo cual es una locura porque ví a ocho personas haciendo la prueba por la mañana. La clase de esta mañana fué muy facil. Mucho repaso. Todo el mundo tuvo un buen fin de semana pero dos o tres personas trabajaron demasiado. Mi novia y yo tuvimos un fin de semana tranquilo . Un poco de tinto y mucho ver la tele y leer libros. El domingo por la noche cenamos en el restaurante "Kourgi." Wendy tomó pollo y para mi, buey, muy poco hecho.

Army Magic

As requested. Army magic was a variant that the old "Team Quarterstaff" invented years ago and I published an article about it in Scrye. Army Magic: A Multi-Player Variant By Jamie C. Wakefield Axelrod Gunnarson glared out over his barbarous and supernatural army. The foul smelling Karplusan Yeti’s; the Sengir Vampires flying high above; the myriad wizards, clerics and monsters that made up his forces. How the Angels and the Elves held out for so long against him was vexing and inconceivable. He had long ago crushed Palladia-Mors and his Goblins and Dragons. Soon after that, he had defeated the nigh unstoppable Lord of Tresserhorn and his army of Merfolk, Doppelgangers, and Zombies. But still Asmira and her Angels resisted him. If only he could lure them away from her accused Castle, he would have them! But as long as she and her followers remained behind the mystic walls there was little his army could do. For now he would have to wait, and plan. There are many variations fo

Magic

Wendy and I have just had a long talk. I am getting back into Magic and making a run for the title. My goal this time isn't going to be to get back on the Pro Tour, but to win a Pro Tour. Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II will be available in early June. The reason for this is I need to proof the physical copy of the book that is sent to my house in Vermont and we will be there June 2nd. I will be playing Magic Online until we go home then playing physically anywhere I can find a game while there. When we return to Spain in September I will be playing at a local shop a half kilometer away and writing about playing Spanish Magic with a limited vocabulary.

Greed and the One Percenters

It is baffling, and sad, to me that part of the world thinks that profit > all, even at the expense of human dignity.  It gnaws at me every day when I go to a chain gas station or a McDonalds or any other place where I know corporate profits are > everything else in the world. Why can't McDonald's pays its workers more? We all know they can. We all can pay a dime more for a Big Mac. It's like this everywhere. In the UFC, Dana White was brilliant at bringing the sport to mainstream America and generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the Fertitta brothers, who were already billionaires. And even though they could pay their fighters more, they don't. The last payroll for the last event was under a million dollars. The UFC is like the NFL of fighting. The number one organization. Some of the guys that make it there get paid 2k to fight. Meanwhile, Dana and the brothers are gambling away millions at the tables in Vegas.   Yes, I know how the right will respo
