hi guys!
quebecois people want to be sure they use much less english words in their sentences than we do in france, even if they use the words "cruise", a "tune", "fit", "cute", "top/bottom" and many more... so they can prove that fact to themselves, they take every english word we french use and translate them. that way they don't say 'weekend' but "fin de semaine" (so long!), they say "chandail" for a t-shirt, or "cedule" (nothing to see with the schedule of course...) for a planning. the thing could be funny but it gets ridiculous at times. therefore, a stop sign will be translated...
... and then KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) becomes PFK (Poulet Frit Kentucky)! I wonder why they didn't translate McDonald's, and what it could've become! :D
i've been in touch with my friend charlotte who wanted me to write a column about my experience in new york. i've done it and it should be published in a gay magazine in essex, uk. to complete the column, i've made a list of the bars, clubs and places i preferred in the city. i feel like carrie bradshaw at times! i might end up doing that for different other cities. montreal should be the next one, and i'll talk about the next places i go to also.
also, i've met a producer i should be working with on my songs. we met and decided in august we should have time to work on the music and to record about 5 or 6 songs. we'll see how it goes, but i should end up working on my myspace page and do something a bit more professional! of course, you'll know about it!
thanks for your comments:
marcelo: good to hear from you since new york! to explain marcelo and i plus a few friends went to an asian karaoke bar in new york, the bar was quite empty, but because we sang a lot of spice girls/britney/kylie songs, the barmaid went to see us and asked us to stop singing because we were disturbing the customers at the bar who didn't sing themselves! in a karaoke bar!!! plus i have to add you had to pay for every song you wanted to sing!
flo: if batman's your favorite superhero, you'll have a lot to talk with laurent! the movie is great indeed! and for cyndia's bracelet, i hope you sent it back to her? she can't stay without it!
nina: enjoy your holidays! so emilie and seb are moving to ottawa? did you tell them i was in canada too? ottawa is not that far from montreal you know!
fred: miss you so much here too! haven't seen you since february! :'( enjoy the nice weather for me because those last few weeks, we've had a lot of rain in here, and that's really annoying! montreal is usually very nice and hot in the summer, but of course the only summer i spend here, it rains!
love you guys! mwah!
