Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously that's just stuff you should know from living in the world.
When I went to Mexico with grad school, I could not believe that I had classmates who didn't know Spanish words like pollo and queso. I mean, seriously??? I couldn't translate anything but menus, but I was ALL OVER the menus!
OMG, I am so starving and now I want Mexican food for lunch. And I still wish I could find the bean-and-cheese roll breakfast thingie I had there. I guess I could recreate it here, of course, especially with increased access to Portuguese sweet rolls.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I knew an adult Montreal native who didn't know the French for bus (protip: it's really not very hard), so I'm less surprised than I might have been. However, gringo's just about an English word at this point. Wife I can see not knowing, and numbers higher than ten. Not gringo.

Because books.
I had been thinking about watching it because Matt! Saracen!, but now maybe not. It sounds awful.

Yeah, gringo is an English word.

I got my painting!!! I loves it! No idea where it will go, the color scheme does not really go with any of my rooms. Maybe entry or hall. But I love it!

Now tagless for your comfort.
On the way to school this morning, Olivia noticed the flags were half staff. She asked me why.
That just sucks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes, when my head hurts really badly, the pain refers down to my quads and knees.
Today? Is one of those days. I have a day chock full of meetings, at least one of which I have to present, a trip to pack and prepare for, laundry to do, shit to buy for my sister, and a stranger's request for a picture that's frustrating me since I completely can't compose it, and I really should be able to.

I think I'm pretty good with Spanish and French menu! That's it though. Well, a little bit more Spanish but not much.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yeah, ita, it seems odd that the show runners have these characters who don't understand any Spanish, but they count on the audience to understand it. Unless they want the audience to share he character's experience of not understanding.
Another annoyance - I swear they copped a musical motif from Inception. Yeah, all the kids are doing it, doesn't make it less annoying.
On the chicken as co-pay - that's a hella nice payment. My host mom gave shots to her neighbors, and she frequently got paid in milk or goat cheese or pickled something. And if they're running on donations, I'm sure the protein is appreciated. Bonus if it was a good layer .
Suela, my recruiter was massively excited that I spoke French and I was slated to go to Francophone Africa, until that pesky fire ant allergy intervened and relegated me to cold climes. I can only imagine it's gotten worse in the last decade.
