Quick break
I'm halfway through my final assignment of week one -- critiques of four classmates' work -- and had to take a quick break to giggle at Hubbyfink. He's watching "Cool Fuel" on Planet Green which follows a team of Aussies as they drive around America in vehicles which don't use gasoline. In tonight's episode, the team is driving a Hummer which runs on food. They started off in New Orleans and loaded it up with beignets -- which broke my heart, I guarantee -- for the drive to Texas.
When they stopped at a restaurant somewhere in the wilds of Louisiana, Hubbyfink pulled me into the show. "What accent is that guy speaking? Is that even English??" I listened for a second or two. Cajun. "Can you understand what he's saying??" I hit the rewind button and then translated Cajun to English for Hubbyfink until I got tripped up by a long string of words. Happily, the closed captioning deciphered what I could not.
Of course, then they went on to talk about crawfish and etouffe and I got all reminiscent and lip-smacky. Mmmm... crawfish.
