El Gato the Cat

The extent of my Spanish speaking abilities are restricted to words I read in the airport and things that MaLe says to the cat. I have it on good authority (MaLe's brothers) that what she is saying to the cat is actually nonsense and can not be translated.

Yet still I feel my vocabulary growing and MaLe even thought it a good idea to label everything in my office (aka the nerd room - don't ask) with translations. Sure. Fine. Whatever. I bought a 6-pack of mini post it notes (100 to a pack) at her request and went to work. I have no doubt this method will bear fruit. I think there are still a few post-it notes left, but my office is essentially newly decorated in 1x1 1/2 inch yellow squares. la vela, el calendario, la lampara, el frasca....they are everywhere! But by far my favorite has to be this one. The Silverback Gorilla/Poodle look was not bad enough....

Poor Tso.
