Well. I am currently dealing with a bit of pain in my neck and head thanks to the fact that I am unable to photocopy or photograph any of the documents that I really really need from any of the archives/libraries I am working in. This means that I must type everything out, and with the addition of all the French accent marks, it makes my arms really hurt. This causes me to have very bad posture in the library (no help from the horrible chairs either) and I think I pinched a nerve in my neck that is sending pain shooting into my skull.
Fortunately A. has made me feel better by entertaining me with internet videos he has found. I have also found a few on my own, thanks to my French popular cultural discoveries on the television program Star Academy this week. A. has promised to do a guest blog post on an amusing incident he witnessed outside our apartment window last Saturday night... but so far it has not appeared. I am blackmailing him with this blog title. But he also deserves it because he is strangely enchanted with the music videos of the French hipster star Yelle. This video is one she sang with a French comedian named Fatal Bazooka. The title of the song in French is "Parle à ma main" or "Talk to the hand", a phrase which has apparently just arrived on the continent (only 10 or so years late). It is very strange, but oddly catchy. Plus the dance moves are a total hit in our household.
In addition, I give you this video. It should, in my opinion, be nominated for some sort of Nobel Prize. Perhaps the Nobel Prize of awesomeness! The "instrument" is, by the way, called the KazooKeylele.
Enjoy! I'll try to find something amusing to write about this weekend. Once I am done spending a tragic amount of time working on futile grant proposals, that is!
