French food and conversation, turkeys and giants!
Very cool things:
Joe, who is the coolest in my book, picked us up tickets to go see They Might Be Giants in a few weeks! They're playing here in September, and I'm SO excited! If you don't have The Spine yet, you HAVE to go grab it...it's a great album!
After two weeks of not seeing turkeys at work, finally five of them, picking away at the grass along the parking lot. They crack me up. ;-)
That same cool Joe grabbed us reservations at Lumiere for Restaraunt Week (which is pretty difficult to get right now...all the restaraunts are booked up). Lumiere picked up accolades from the Food Network for one of the best French Bistros. Can't wait!
I'm brushing up on my French too, and it's definitely coming back. I picked up a Pimsleur set of CDs for the car. I'm flying through them pretty fast though but the brush up is good and I think that it's helping me with pronunciation quite a bit. The big set of Pimsleur CDs are pretty expensive unfortunately. But after this semester, I think I'm going to take a course at the Boston French Center and see if I can get back in the swing of things. I may get Joe to take a one-day beginners immersion course with me on a weekend too. He thinks he can't learn French, but I don't believe him. :)
Then again, he would tell you I never believe him (not true!)...
