The afternoon call to prayer, no power today, the
shadows resolve to what cannot be resolved is mercifully,
resolved.
Today toefl students learn a listening skill called
pragmatic understanding. A most favored
word among leaders and greats in our world of constant fires.
“PU questions ask about the more subtle
understanding of spoken English”
You mean suprasegmentals?
yeah, sure, ok, “watch your tone you little shite” it’s all about lengthening your vowels and
nasalizing and aspiring consonants and
it is sarcasm and not scorn.
“I insist you stop aspiring your u’s and nasalizing
your o’s at me you little roach.”
In any case, my left leg did not let me get up very
gracefully from a breakfast of bread with yesterday’s chicken. You are very old johnukka. Only one leg is old.
A full moon in two days and today the afternoon wind
kicks up. I will be in class when it
rises, I’ll have to make a demonstration and go up with my camera, just for
five minutes. A super moon is coming up
tonight. Let’s see it big.
How do you aspire a vowel? with the measured amount of air that comes
from your lungs you produce a sound with shared meaning based on your unconscious decision to pitch and
stress.
And what is inside your mouth may also have other
effects of suprasegmentals, right? If
someone doesn’t have teeth to pronounce letters and words intelligibly, then
the man or woman with no teeth uses other forms of behavior to communicate. And that could produce comedy where the
general tone of the engagement between the elderly woman and the Zambian model
is so fun to watch ‘cause we’re ripping air…
I am out of breakfast food I eat on waking up, juice, I
need juice, cereal with cold milk has been well received and some biscuit
cookie. The Malaysian sugar free almond
cookie used butter naturally sweetening. I
would like to find a morning sweet loaf of something to go with peanut butter
and apple jam which survives fluctuating fridge abuse.
1:30pm
the hottest part of the day. I should go make a cup of green tea,
something, a cigarette, this is the time lunch is normally served but it is
quiet, a big meal this morning, a big meal last night, meat in every meal.
Wait, I have pistachios.
Carrying a cup of green tea upon return to the room and
power of some kind has also returned. Now
I can take a nap. After a cigarette and
further review.
8:38pm
They turned on the fluorescent purple lights on the big
mushroom fountain and it was a nice sight to see and bring out the camera.
By seven pm the moon is right above me. I don’t understand this dude’s trajectories.
And the date for the moon rising above the horizon on Saturday I thought I knew
I need to keep looking.
8.28.15
I’m waiting for the cue to begin making an omelet. It shouldn’t be too hard to make one of
these, right? It’s all about flipping
the properly cooked eggs half way. And
if the omelet is for six?
Here one eats a kind of egg dish in the morning and
uses bread to pinch a piece of the egg dish.
I have no bread. I am going to
blindly play dumb here and assume / hope someone arrives with bread. Or I'll go ask someone to get some.
It is essential to get eight hours of sleep once in a while. The solar
buzzed all night and the room was comfortable.
I wonder how much of a difference it would be if I didn’t bring the silk
liner.
What is the plan today, Friday, a teacher’s job is
never finished. I need a bigger desk to
lay out four classes of papers and books.
Keeping organized on a four by four foot desk requires a lot of time
consuming shuffling and looking.
I left with 40 thousand in June, stopped in
Nepal and returned to the states in October with 12 thousand and by April I stood
in line at the St Vincent De Paul soup kitchen in glorious San Diego.
What was your question again?
