Calling it a day...
Apr. 13th, 2010 07:38 pm...though I have little to say.
I managed to get another 4,000 words of the way through the PNBJ™ (which is nothing short of miraculous), and with 19 slides left of 53, figure I can do the rest tomorrow and still get the <spit> PowerPoint presentation in on Thursday morning.
Not a heck of a lot else happening, really. Galina and I watched Coco avant Chanel last night. Besides enjoying the film, my faith in Audrey Tautou was restored (it was shaken by L'auberge espanole and not helped particularly by The Davinci Code) and I was able to induldge in some conversational French comprehension.
I noticed again that I can almost perfectly understand French when it is spoken with the exaggerated care of a foreigner (e.g., the character of Arthur Capel in the movie), but found myself with little or no sight of land, so to speak, when it came to understanding the native French speakers.
There is no alternative but to work and pound on the cable.
Cheers...
