Left Brain, Right Brain

They should have just had this picture up for 30 seconds as a commercial during the Superbowl. Honestly. 

To the Mercedes-Benz print advertising team: This is genius. And beautiful.  

Text in the Advertisement:

"I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am." 

“I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feat. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.”

Song of the Day: Tu Comprends?

In case you were wondering, "Quelqu'un m'a dit" means "Someone told me" in French. 

I can't believe this is my first post about a song in my mother tongue...weird. Brian, his little sister and I watched 500 days of summer a couple of months ago; I'd seen the movie before and rediscovered it when we all watched together, but I guess that doesn't really explain why I'm posting this song today. My train of thought today about the song went as follows, sort of:

1.  "Yayyy Morgan and Alex (two of my best friends from home) will be here in like 2 weeks!!!!"
2. "Wait. What was that french song Morgan asked me to translate for her senior year?"
3. "Umm, 500 days of summer!...I love that movie."
4. "When did I watch it again?...Winter break?"
5. "Brian definitely downloaded that song from the car scene, I think. I'm finding it and blogging about it.."

So that's pretty much it. I really do love this song, (Carla Bruni's "Quelqu'un m'a dit") although I seem to find a lot of trouble translating the words. It's not so much that she's speaking ridiculously fast to me, but that combined with her mouse-like soft spoken voice makes it kind of difficult. C'est la vie, I suppose.

Update for the world

4 days worth of Advil, 3 tissue boxes, a bottle or 2 of DayQuil + NyQuil, and 1 pack of Apple Cider flavored Halls Cough Drops later and I am  a l i v e . I have miraculously survived the plague, pretty much on a hope and a prayer, and I'm back from my mini hiatus. Living in this dorm room for the past week has been hell on Earth and I apologize to my roommate, my boyfriend, my teammates, and any person whom I have come in contact anywhere within 3 feet, who has or will have caught the plague...it's definitely my fault -- my bad.
