French lessons and other stories
Useful things not to mix up:
Serrer la main is not the same as faire un poing de main. In other words, le Maréchal Pétain did not slap Hitler at Montoire when agreeing on collaboration; Pétain shook his hand instead. Or so the story goes.
This is also why I ought to be less sleep-deprived in general so that I stop saying stupid things. Then again, I already make a fool of myself quite often while well-rested so the point is moot.
What's disturbing me right now his how awake I can force myself to be under the sole influence of...playing techno action film music in my head. I have no idea how that works, but at least I don't need to become a slave to caffeine (yet).
