My favorite Spanish word is "cosquilloso." Koss-kee-yo-so.
Means "ticklish."

My second favorite Spanish word is "por supuesto."
Means "of course."


Cosquilloso, por supuesto. Cosquilloso, por supuesto. Feels good, doesn't it?

Repeat as needed. :)

Holy Narcolepsy, Batman!

I hit the sack for a quick little nap. 3 hours ago. I read 3 pages of my book before falling into a seep, comatose slumber. (and this is after nice little napitty nap for a half hour at about today.)

I very rarely snoozify like that. I wonder what brought the need on?

I Only Have Eyes For You

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you, dear

The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you

You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
