Le phrase anglophone est "I've got your back!"

I can't believe my week up here is almost over. And it was only today that I finally switched my American cash for Canadian. At least I can pay chocolatemoose back what I owe her with proper, colourful cash. The bank teller seemed to think I'd just come back from the US. Though on the whole, I guess that's a safer assumption. And I don't mind being confused for a Canadian.

So, today basically started in the afternoon, though I slept in marginally less than I have usually this week. (I was actually up before noon!) We had dinner (pasta!) and sat around and watched TV. I'm going to take a moment and try to figure out what the weirdest thing I've seen on American television is... but I'm pretty certain nothing I've ever seen beats... Bingo Bling. (Which, as best I can do in my research, happened only today). I'm not sure I can reconstruct this for you, but I'll try my best. It was entirely in French, which on its own is rather unremarkable. However, it had a hip-hop theme. And all the people were white... trying to be... hip-hop-y? (And this is where the speaking French became amusing.) There was rapping in French. And awkward, awkward dancing by about seven random awkward people. In French, to French rapping. With bingo going on. BINGO. White francophone hip-hop poseurs playing bingo. It was just... wow. It was a cultural train wreck, really.

Then we went to see V for Vendetta, which was good. I was going to play DDR, but in hindsight it was probably a good idea not to, since I've got a bit of a headache now. I blame the weather, which is half-rain sort of snow. Well, actually last time I looked outside it'd turned over into the thin sparkly snow. Still the sort of in-between weather that gives me a headache though. Alas.

But really... Bingo. Hip-hop bingo. In French. Have you ever heard the word "bling" in the middle of a sentence in French? Because I have now.
