I love baseball and so does my son. I do not eat meat. My son likes lobster and crab. I speak a little bit of German. My mom was born in Germany.
Speaker 1
Hello how are you doing today?
Speaker 2
Very well thank you. How are you?
Speaker 1
Going to head out soon to play some baseball. I really like the game.
Speaker 2
I love baseball too. So does my son. We play every chance we get.
Speaker 1
After our game, we plan to head out to a nice seafood restaurant. I love lobster.
Speaker 2
I do not eat any kinds of meat but my son like lobster and crab.
Speaker 1
Do you speak any other languages? I enjoy learning them.
Speaker 2
Not fluently. I speak a little bit of german because my mom was born in germany.
Speaker 1
I am currently going to school to get my degree in marketing and talking french at night.
Speaker 2
Good luck with your degree! French is probably more useful than german:).
Speaker 1
I hope to design ads for local non profit companies.
Speaker 2

Speaker 1
I've maybe got some work experience lined up to help a local start-up company with their marketing.
Speaker 2
Oh that sounds awesome, what kind of ideas do you have up your sleeve for their marketing program?
Speaker 1
First, they need to improve their online presence. They don't even have a single social media page!
Speaker 2
Ouch! It is hard to get ahead in today's business landscape when you are not even on social media. What school are you goiing to to get your marketing degree?
Speaker 1
Just the local community college. They've got a really flexible program, and they also have good contacts with local companies.
Speaker 2
Smart move, you get a similar education to those big public universities and you save yourself a lot of money in the long run.
Speaker 1
Exactly. I'd like to get out of the rent trap and buy my own place, and this has definitely helped me save up some money!
Speaker 2
Without a doubt, you mentioned earlier you like lobster too, maybe eating less of that will help you get out of the rent trap as well haha. 
Speaker 1
Lol yes, it's expensive! I'm guessing you have your own house?
Speaker 2
I do, it is not currently paid off yet, still have a mortgage but getting close!
Speaker 1
Congratulations! That's a huge achievement! Do you have any tips as to how I might go about shopping for a house?
Speaker 2
Just be patient, you'll never find exactly what you want on the first try, keep an open mind to all locations as well.

Speaker 1
It was a long day with classes. I think I'm going to watch some TV then hit the bed. 
Speaker 2
That sounds good. I'm tired too. Anything special you're going to watch?
Speaker 1
I'm sorry to hear that. I was thinking of looking for a French film. Something about those accents really revs my engine.
Speaker 2
Yes. I love the French language. It's beautiful. I prefer subtitles rather than having them dubbed so I can hear the language.
Speaker 1
That's the best way to enjoy them! I think that dubbed voices rarely do the actors and the film justice. 
Speaker 2
Oh, I agree! I need to find a new show to watch before bed. I have free time then because my son is asleep. Just need to find a good snack too.
Speaker 1
Gotta love those nights where you can just relax, snack, and drift off. What kind of snacks do you like?
Speaker 2
I love it when it's quiet at night. It's so peaceful. I like popcorn and I'm really thirsty so I'm thinking of grabbing some ice cold ginger ale.
Speaker 1
That sounds like a wonderful time. Do it! I'll make myself a bag of popcorn now that you mentioned it.
Speaker 2
It does sound good. Maybe I'll add a bit of butter and salt. It rained here all day so I had time to do some watercolors.
Speaker 1
I would love to see the finished work. I might have to commission a piece from you too since I just can't seem to make anything good when I try watercoloring.
Speaker 2
Sure! I'll send you some photos tomorrow. Just let me know what you would like and I'll do my best to paint it for you. And let me know your favorite colors.

Speaker 1
What is your favorite thing to paint?
Speaker 2
My work is a bit more abstract. It's not really off anything, just how I am feeling at the time.
Speaker 1
Right on. Are you typically inspired by random things, or does it come from similar sources? Maybe I should run some of my draft ad designs by you.
Speaker 2
I don't know if you would call it inspiration, but it just depends what happens to me on that day. If good things happen I would say my paintings look happier. I love to look at designs. Let me know when you want me to look at them!
Speaker 1
Thanks so much! I'll definitely keep you posted on what I create. Maybe we can inspire each other with our work. Do you a favorite popcorn, like regular stuff or the flavored kind?
Speaker 2
Kettle corn is my favorite. I will pick that whenever I can get it. I also really like caramel popcorn. Do you have any favorite flavors?
Speaker 1
Not really. I have a sweet tooth so the caramel always gets me, and I love salt and cheese so the cheesy stuff is great, too. By the way, just to follow up, my favorite colors on blue, black and green.
Speaker 2
I think all popcorn is great in general. I have a bad sweet tooth as well! Are there any other types of sweet snacks that you like?
Speaker 1
Pretty much anything with dark chocolate or coffee flavored. Margaritas are great, too, but they go down waaay too easily.
Speaker 2
Oh yeah you could get in trouble with those. Sometimes I do not even understand how there is alcohol in some of them.
Speaker 1
Ha ha; it's covered up by all the sugar. So, how close are you to paying off the mortgage? Seeing the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel?
Speaker 2
Very close actually. It was nice being able to get a house, but actually owning it soon is going to feel fantastic. Like I'm on the right path. I'm sure a great painting will be on the way when that day comes

The inspiration for my art comes from my day to day experiences and the emotions they ellicit. I am close to paying off the mortgage on my house.
Speaker 1
Have you done any new watercolors lately.
Speaker 2
I've been working on one for the past few days. The inspiration for this one comes from the happiness I felt when my son and I went to a baseball game a few days ago. I really enjoy taking him to games.
Speaker 1
It's awesome that you're putting so much of your life and feelings into your work. What style is this one in -- abstract, or more realistic?
Speaker 2
This one is abstract. I'm not much of a realistic painter. How about you? I know you like to make watercolor paintings also. Have you done any recently?
Speaker 1
Not since we last talked. My workload with school was too heavy because it was the end of the first summer session.
Speaker 2
I remember what school is like, I don't envy you at all haha! How did you do in your classes?
Speaker 1
I'm waiting to find out my final grades, but I think I did all right. Have you had any inspiration for a new watercolor yet?
Speaker 2
That's really good to hear, I'm sure you did great! Yes I have, but I won't put those inspirations to paper yet, at least not until I finish the painting I'm currently working on. There's so much inspiration you can gather just from day to day experiences, and you can paint them however you feel. That's why I love abstract so much.
Speaker 1
Say, are you a complete vegetarian or do you eat seafood? I was thinking you, your son and I could get together for a baseball game, and then have dinner at that crab shack on the pier.
Speaker 2
I personally don't eat meat, but my son loves lobster and crab. That's something you two have in common. I'm sure I can find something good for me on the menu. And my son and I will never miss a chance to go to a baseball game! What day did you have in mind?
Speaker 1
There's a game Saturday afternoon. How about we plan for then?
Speaker 2
Yeah, that sounds great! We will see you then!
