Hey, I doubt my english is much better... :)

I guess I think with words or images, depending on my current endeavors.
I tend to focus on images while working on 'creative' endeavours .
Sometimes I switch to english, particularly with short phrases, or when
thinking about certain concepts that aren't defined in spanish - at
least, not defined with a single word. English has an amazing vocabulary
- there seems to be a word for everything.
