Sex & Shenanigans

I came downstairs this morning and my wife was watching the movie, "Pearl." And it was a scene where Pearl's mother was speaking in German. My first thought was, "Wow... her German must be really terrible. I can understand everything she's saying."
If I ever master Spanish, my next language will be German. Everything is sexier in Spanish, while German sounds like angry pigeon english.

Once when I was at a restaurant in Berlin there was a Dutch couple seated at the table next to us. The drunker I got the more Dutch I understood (or thought I understood). Dutch is just English + German + beer.

Dutch has almost the exact same intonation and "flow" as Swedish... It hurts my brain to listen to it. I imagine it's what people with aphasia feel like, as though I should understand it but I just don't.
 
The salon I go to has mostly Mexican women working there. They are teaching me some Spanish, but OMG! Listening to those women talk to each other? I don’t think I could even understand them in English they talk so fast. Or at least, it sounds like they are talking really fast. 🤣🤣🤣

They have all been wonderful to me. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

There are also a lot of different Spanish dialects which can make it even more confusing

I have been using a translator app which helps, but it often screws up. My hairdresser was telling me something about my hair, and it translated what she said as she was going to “hit it with a club”. I was laughing my ass off, and she was looking at me like I am crazy… whatever she did say, it wasn’t a joke and did not involve either hitting, or using a club. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
Oh! Murder By Death! I have that on DVD. California Suite is on my list for the weekend.

I love California Suite.
Was just scrolling the leaving soon section of a streaming app, saw California Suite, remembered you two mentioned it and that it has Maggie Smith, and hit play. Opening credits listed cast in alphabetical order, and I had to back out when Bill C*sby’s name came up 😬 Nope. Can’t do it…at least not until the bastard dies.
