지뿡땡

a small note:

when i walk around, i go over the thai alphabet aloud (if no one is around, but silently otherwise), and i have chuckled to myself saying phrases because of the sing-song-y nature of the language.  (thought i would get stuck singing words for everything) i have yet to fully understand all the tones and inflections, but today i was thinking that i am highly conscious of the insides of my mouth when i practice saying some of the words.  it almost feels like i'm juggling invisible marbles in my mouth and making little pockets of space and rearranging them so that the sounds can travel past these imaginary obstructions.  i love it!
