Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Meet my #1 enemy:
Ok, maybe that’s a lie. I don’t know what/who my #1 enemy is. But the sound of that alarm clock is definitely something I’m not crazy over. And it’s not just the siren-like sound of the alarm, but also the ticking… Oh my God, the ticking is BRUTAL!
D says that […]
Navy blue in RGB
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008When I talk to D about colors and I say something like “I love this vanilla color” or “I want this dress in peach or aubergine” (okay, maybe I don’t use names of vegetables that often) he always looks at me with a stupefied look on his face which says “explain yourself, you have a […]
A not so imaginary answering machine
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Ok, so have you read my previous post? If you have, then you must know that I’ve made fun of D and his idea of having a weird-sounding answering machine.
Well it seems now that the imaginary answering machine is not that imaginary. D has been working all weekend (while I was on a shopping spree […]
Imaginary answering machine
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008When we get a phone (whenever that is) D wants to connect it to one of the servers he so skillfully administrates so that everytime someone calls and we’re not at home we’ll get an email with the message from the caller as an mp3 attachment. Which I think is a great idea and I […]
Looks like a duck, walks like a duck…
Friday, July 25th, 2008I really like soy milk! 1. because it’s good and 2. because it’s good for you.
Plus, I don’t really like the aftertaste of regular milk and how I get thirsty right after I have a glass (it’s because I’m just weird that way!) so I’ve managed to substitute it with yummy vanilla-flavor soy milk. […]
Sounds like Walmart
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Last year when I was doing an internship in Sherbrooke I came to Montreal for one weekend to visit D. And since I had to buy some transfer paper I asked D if he knew where I could find a Walmart.
“Yeah, sure” he said. “I know one in the Eaton centre!”
I was really surprised to […]
Intelligent conversation
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008While browsing through a cooking magazine:
Me: Hmm, look apple crumble, yum!
D: Cookie?
Me: No, apple crumble, don’t you know what that is?
D: Cookie?
Me: A-PPLE CRUM-BLE!!!
D: Cookie?!
Me: Yes, cookie! [sigh]
Frenglish
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Phrases like “j’ai checké la boîte postale” (I checked the mail box) or “elle est très cute” (she’s very cute) are often uttered by Quebecers.
And in the conversations I have with D we often mix Romanian, English, and sometimes a bit of French and Spanish - stuff like “vamonos chica!” or “muchas gracias mi […]
At the lab
Sunday, July 20th, 2008A few days ago I had to go to the lab at 9pm to prepare some antibody mixes for the next day experiments. And I asked D to come with me to keep me company.
Needless to say he brought his baby (aka the Canon). And that was a very smart choice since his degree […]
Mushrooms, certificates and servers
Saturday, July 5th, 2008These are 3 words that D is forbidden from uttering more than once a day. They were banned from his vocabulary because a while ago he said those words so many times until they made no sense at all. You know the feeling, right? Go on, say feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling! Doesn’t it sound […]
