I'd started listening to a little bit of Manu Chao before I came over here, but I'd kind of forgotten about it. You only need a tiny bit of Spanish (which is all I've got!) to get the drift, but if you don't have that it's basically: "I like/love (thing); I like/love you; I like/love (other thing); I like/love you." Couple of French phrases as well.
It's the video that really makes it, though. It reminds me a lot of Amelie.
I need to read up on Manu Chao!
I'm about to go out and partake of the latest ECC hello/goodbye dinner (we have a couple of new teachers, and one teacher leaving). I'm skipping bellydance for the first time in... a month? I could technically have gone, but I'd have showed up to dinner sweaty and gross and I'm really trying to be less of a disaster in public. Monday we have a new crop of kindergarteners, and I have a new partner teacher. Also a whole new schedule of classes-- apparently they like to do their shaking-up at the beginning of March, which is when the school year starts here.
I'll try and do a better job of posting and describing and so forth. I've been letting things slide a lot lately, which is against my New Year's resolution of "Follow through." Have a good day/evening! Step over to
cesario's journal-- she's doing a scene-by-scene commentary on Hamlet, and I think is planning to follow it with all the Shakespeare she can get her hands on.
