Maybe I Should Learn Chinese

Last night I was looking through Tracy's roommate's Art History book and, while reading the title and museum that houses a particular work of art, I discovered one of my favorite things to say.
Beijing.
Say it out loud. Right now just do it. Ah hahahha!
I just sat there and said it for probably 30 seconds. I really don't even remember what the piece was, or why I was reading it out loud, but it was fun.
And maybe now I should go to bed.

see it all depends on how you say it. cuz if you say it like most of us ignorant white people do, it sounds more french than chinese. in which case you should learn french (unless you already know it) so you can say cool words like rejoindre. that one always gets me.

Good call. I guess most any french words will do. Especially one's with 'r's in the begining. Or 'malheureusement'. Love that one.
Haa - the 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' board game has the instructions in french and I ammused myself for quite some time reading those aloud.

j'adore le langue francais. c'est tres jolie, n'est-ce pas? "malheureusement" est bien-sur un bon mot. ici, un passage de "le petit prince" pour tout les gens lire, une de mes favourites. "Les grandes personnes m'ont conseille de laisser de cote les dessins de serpent boas ouverts ou fermes, et de m'interesser plutot a la geographie, a l'histoire, au calcul et a la grammaire. C'est ainsi que j'ai abandonne, a l'age de six ans, une magnifique carriere de peintre."
