Narco et Ronchon

Was greeted this morning with FREE TEA. Unexpected and utterly refreshing green tea.

Felt a little off today, maybe because the weather has just gotten nice and chilly-ish all of a sudden. Time to whip out the sweaters!

My friend from Canadia very eloquently ranted about all the things in France that don't work. I giggled, and thought you might too. Check it out!

Today in phonetics class we were talking about narcoleptics and I mentioned one of my friends has narcolepsy (I think... anyways). There is this french film called "Narco." Ripped from wikipédia

"Narco is a 2004 French film about Gus (played by Guillaume Canet) a narcoleptic, whose life is made difficult by his inability to keep a job because of his narcolepsy."

It has murder, intrigue, comic books and narcoleptics. AND IT'S IN FRENCH. What more could you ask for?

French phrase of the day: Foudre en larme- to burst into tears. I haven't cried in months, it's bound to happen sometime soon.

French Argot/Slang of the day: Ronchon. It means grumpy, or "grumpy child."

What else did I do today? A gym tonique aerobics class which was supposed to be an "abs ripper." Abs tickler, sure, but I think I'll stick with jogging each week.

Nighty night.
