les simpson

[nibot]

Yesterday evening I went to Martina's apartment. She lives in France on the other side of Geneve, in what could very well be a "working class" neighborhood if such things could exist in Geneve. The place has an air of legitimacy previously unseen here. Her neighbor is a pencil factory. We cooked up flat noodles with butter, and watched track and field and then the Simpsons, excuse me, Les Simpson, on television. Watching the Simpsons dubbed into French is a strangely baffling experience. She gave me a copy of The First Man (Camus) and then I drove home.

Les Simpson! somehow, even the name is funny!

in our office, we have a copy of Calvin et Hobbes. i don't understand very much at all, although i'm familiar enough with many of the originals that i can understand what's going on anyway. and everything is much more amusing in french.
