Hold On To Your Teenage Daughter

Thought long and not very hard about writing yesterday, but concluded that "j'ai la flemme."

Which means essentially "I can't be bothered." Except the cool part is that "la flemme" is the french noun for "apathy." It means laziness, disinterest and general "I can't bring myself to lift a finger."

-Peux-tu faire quelque chose aujourd'hui?
-Non, j'ai la flemme.

Just saw the first mosquito ever in France. Reminds me of home...

I've started a new game with myself, and it is beautiful. Tentatively titled "Project Profane."

Project Profane
1) Choose a rap song.
2) That is in english.
3) Translate it using only a dictionary. Internet use forbidden.
4) Show it to your host siblings, explaining that this is what Kanye West and T.I. are really singing. Not to mention Lil Wayne.

Mesdames et Messieurs,
Maquereaux et Joueurs
Demi-cul rappeurs
et les vrai locuteurs de rimes
C'est le Carter
Donc tenir à votre fille adolescente.

Unclear whether my new vocabulary will ever come in handy, unless I become besties with french rappers. There are worst things that could happen.

Yesterday I went to not one but TWO french films. Originally the plan was to go see "Les Intouchables" but after that finished at the early hour of 10:30, the executive decision was made to go for round two. "Le Chat Potté" (Puss in Boots) was dubbed, so any appeal of Antonio Banderas' voice was eliminated. Rhum Express (Dunno what the American name is) had already started and it was deemed that I was too young to see "Les Lyonnais" (viewing forbidden for -12 due to violence).

Thanks guys.

So we went to a film called "Les Adoptés", which was very moving and well filmed except for two small scenes which wrecked the whole thing, turning it into a cheesy, stinking foul mess. No exaggeration present. Why did they need to put a talking photograph in the film? Or a scene in which they throw their dead sister's ashes into the mountains and she magically appears in white flowy garments romping around? Why?

But other than that, it was great. I almost cried, but then the director ruined it for me.
