do you think if i chant that like a mantra over and over and over again each night it will counter the extreme quantities of cheese and creme brulee and wine and bread and yogourt i have been consuming?
probably not but i'll let you know. oh hell it doesn't matter, as long as the pants still fit i'll keep stuffing my face. and the great thing about wearing the same pair of pants every single day is that they just keep getting looser and looser.
we had a lesson on cheese today after lunch (there are 7 families of cheese - now you know) and then ate cheese and drank wine. happily this took place immediately before the laboratoire or the 'torture chambre' as it's more commonly known. The laboratoire involves a tape and a headset and a series of exercises where the professeur asks questions and we have to respond in a grammatically correct fashion. The sentences are getting longer and more complicated all the time - for example for the question "Did Paul like the film?" we have to respond "No, he didn't like it, but me, I liked it. And you? Did you like it?" which honestly I think I might have some trouble with in english; the french response is (and i'm testing myself now): "Non, il ne l'a pas aime, mais moi, je l'ai aime. Et vous? Est-ce que vous l'avez aime?" (i know i'm missing some accents, don't know where they are on the keyboard).
Aaaand that was correct I think...so maybe something really is sticking. We talk about pronous and articles for hours. Like this morning we talked about en for a really long time. Is english grammar this complicated and I just don't notice?
After I gloated about the weather I think here and in various emails it rained for a couple days. So now all I'm going to say is "meh, the weather's okay...i don't know about this not having to wear a jacket in January thing though. I don't know if it's working out for me." Hopefully that works.
Finally, I think I might finally be over Desperados. The ingredient list is as follows: "Biere, sucre....etc etc". I get a headache now just thinking about it. Although there is a can in the fridge that i really have to polish off.
