GIMME MOAR CANADA
Today an old lady buying a metric fuckton of Newfoundland cookbooks told me, very solemnly and with a hint of disapproval, that I have very big eyes.
... Um. Sorry?
In happier news, I got to speak French today! I don't think I've had the opportunity to speak French at work since 2006, since most francophones in Atlantic Canada speak English and most anglophones in Atlantic Canada speak pretty bad French- myself included, God my French is atrocious- and it's usually not worth sitting through half an hour of mangled pronunciation and extravagant hand gestures just to know where the bathrooms are. But there was this woman who was lost and needed a map and I got to speak French, guys, I LOVE CANADA.
However, I do not love prorogation. "Prorogation," by the way, comes from the Latin "prorogis," which means "NO SOUP FOR YOU." >:(
To make up for that, I am putting together a picspam. A picspam full of LADIES. Expect it later on tonight, or possibly tomorrow morning because it is huge.
ETA: Forgot to mention that I love Spencer Smith's face. Just puttin' it out there.

French is awesome! I mean, I'm crap at it, but I can still kind of understand it and speak it a little and it just sounds so pretty. Even the insults and profanity are beautiful! Like trou de cul, which is pronounced "troo dee coo" and means "asshole" but sounds like something a pigeon might say, if a pigeon was French.
The Governor General is a really weird part of the Canadian political system, because she's a standin for the Queen and therefore kind of has the power to overrule the Prime Minister but almost never does because that would be totally rude. Oh, Canada, you are kind of bad at not being a colony.

My goal for the end of CEGEP is to have the Quebecois joile accent.

...If by "potato" I mean "Jack Layton" and by "bacon" I mean "Stephane Dion" and by "cheese" I mean "Gilles Duceppe".
Just sayin'.
I also love Spencer Smith's stupid face!!! "Hold on, lemme check my iTunes..." LOL GAY.
I've started speaking French to the cats. Oddly enough, they seem to listen more when I do.

Yay for speaking French! I am never that excited when I get to speak Spanish at work. But that's because I am usually speaking Spanish to women who are in really, really sucky situations and I'm nervous that I'm just going to make things worse for them by not understanding what they're saying to me. :(
Also that interview: win.

I worry about that, too, although since my job is not as important as yours it is not such a grave concern. The worst I could do is give someone the wrong Robert Munsch book.
