I had a choice tonight: either write this post, or do my French homework. Or I could post my French homework and do a half-assed job at both, which is my general philosophy in life: Do it all, but only half-assedly.
My homework is to pretend to arrange for housing while on a vacation in France:
- Mon mari et moi recherchons un petit appartement qui se trouve dans la ville (My husband and I are looking for a small apartment that is in the city or town)
- Nous avons besoin d’une chambre avec un grand lit. “Grand American”, pas “grand Francais”. (We need one bedroom with a big bed. “American big”, not “French big.”)
- Je prefere avoir une vraie douche, pas d’une baignoire avec un tuyau. (I prefer to have a real shower, not a bathtub with a hose.)
- Hauts plafonds! Tres hauts plafonds! (High ceilings! Very high ceilings!)
- S’il vous plait, nous ne voulons pas de mimes. (Please, we do not want any mimes.)
