Sol, sol sol sol la, la, si sol LA!

Last night I saw The Nutcracker at the NAC. It was a first live performance for me, and G's first-ever ballet and NAC experience, and it was very enjoyable. Almost as much as the Indian food that preceded it. XD

It's funny, it took me two days of French-teacher training *guh* to really come to the definite conclusion that I'm culturally anglophone. Even though I live mostly in French now, teaching it and speaking it more often than English, I know that my cultural references are pretty much all English, mostly because almost all of what I read or watch is in English. And spending two days hearing ten other people commenting about les anglophones this, les anglophones that, made me feel like an alien. That being said, I know that most anglophones think the same of francophones, but it doesn't seem to hit me as hard in those situations.

The lights on Parliament hill are pretty.

the food was more enjoyable than the ballet!?

*urm* if you say so..

I think i'd like to see the nutcracker too - but it's the music that's important to me - was there an orchestra or something..?

I was joking about the food, you know.

And of course there was an orchestra! When you go see a ballet, you have to have an orchestra too!

took you this long to realize you were culturally anglophone? This has always been obvious to me!

No, I knew it, it's just that it had never struck me that hard before.
