well its after midnight, so i've technicially missed my entry for today. sorry that i haven't been on the ball much lately. i blame my lack of blogging action on vincent, it is directly related to the amount of time i've been spending with him. hmmm.
joy called me today to tell me that they want to give me their tv. her friend angele is moving, and gave them her big tv, so they've in turn given me their tv! hurray!! i'm so glad i held out and didn't buy one, i had been thinking about it, then dismissed it. yay! these things always work themselves out. my tv was 13 inches big – smaller than my computer. my new one is some much bigger, i can't be bothered to measure it but i'd guess 25 to 30 inches. nice. vinc' came with me to get it from joy's house, and carried it up my stairs and so on for me, which was very helpful.
we made a stop at food basics, and i've sworn to never go to a grocery store with the frenchman ever again. i had a fun time with him tonight. joy asked me "how do you communicate since you don't speak french AT ALL??!" but the language thing is getting better, he's improving rapidly. i really SHOULD make an effort to speak in french, but i'm so stubborn about it. i have to admit i'm even frustrated with myself, he's like "say étroit" and i refuse. man, i wish i'd grow up already. i'm just sooooo bad at languages and its embarrassing.
tonight i was like "oh crap!" and he was like "crap? what is crap? you say that a lot" hmmm, how do you explain that one. awkward...
sweet like candy to my soul,
sweet you rock and sweet you roll.

Merde!
thanks for that explanation. that's definately better than anything else i could think of. i kind of think 'what's up with him not knowing english swear-words??'
Why not grocery stores with Vince?
umm, good question.
mostly because neither of us could make any decisions. we were saying that it would be 10:30 by the time we got out of there. its much easier going by myself. all in all it was quite amusing... "no this is not zucchini, this is (insert french word)"
did you eat curry again? and yes we were in Owen Sound, I wasn't on the computer, it must have been my hubbay
LANEY!! i feel like its been forever since i saw you!! i miss you lots!
did i have curry? yes and no.
zucchini = aubergine.
also sometimes we say aubergine in english. here's something really tricky: a small hotel or hostel is called an Auberge.
i wonder - is there a connection?
I thought eggplants were aubergines and zucchini were courgettes. Am I wrong?
ya, that 'c' word rings a bell.
no you're right rachel. oops! that's so weird... I was seeing an eggplant in my mind when I read the word zucchini. isn't that strange?
