This earthquake was brought to you by the Sécurité Civile.
Right. So, guess who just got accepted in one of the 2 best translation schools of France ? Oh, yeah.
I THINK THAT'S ME.
(Cue a lot of flailing on my part and plans to celebrate it in remarkably distinguished ways. Ahem.)
Also, there have been a lot of forest fires around my house recently. And because I live on the border of a cliff, the firefighting planes (Red Canadairs, I keep imagining a bunch of Gar Canadas as the pilots) literally fly 30 feets above my roof. There's so close that they make the chandeliers rattle, just like in Mary Poppins ! Let me tell you that reading some battle fic with that soundtrack is all kind of awesome.
And to make this post a bit more worthwhile, have some old French songs, all by Charles Trenet :
Y'a d'la joie This song makes me ridiculously happy, and
Douce France a bit more melancholic if you pay attention to the lyrics, but the tune... ♥
Oh old (comical) over the top French accent, how I love thee.
