So just a quick note about today because I would like to get some beauty sleep. I've got to keep up appearances with all these classy, sophisticated Frenchies! :-)
After dinner, we went to watch TV as usual, and Michel was sitting on his computer. He looked over at me and asked "As-tu un iPod?" (phonetically: Ah too uhn ee pod?), meaning "do you have an iPod?" to which I responded "Oui" thinking nothing of it. I then ended up helping him add music to his iPod and his iPhone for the next 30-45 minutes. It was actually kind of fun because I had to explain to him in French what I was doing so he could know for future. However, it was a bit tricky to actually add music to his iPod because it was full so first I had to figure out how to eliminate files from his iPod. Not a problem, right? We've all done it plenty of times for our own iPods! Well, I've certainly done it for mine, but that was using a Mac - he has a PC - and that was using iTunes in English, not French!
After the semi-technology and semi-language barriers were overcome, we ended up getting the songs he wanted onto his iPod as well as onto his iPhone. I wished that Celine was here - aka the only iPhone "expert" I know (who even has a light saber app on her phone!) to help with the iPhone stuff, but it all worked out in the end.
Needless to say, it reminded me of home, helping my mom and grandmother on their computers and with their technology woes! There's nothing like a little taste of home to make you feel comforted!
À demain!
