Haha, I'm not sure either, be it for radiolaires or Florence! Nor Azalaïs or Guillemette. Group hug, we fail at our own names. (I was once told that the English equivalent to Guillemette would be Wilhelmina. That's rather funny.)
Did you live in Strasbourg itself (meme knowledge, woohoo!) or really in the country? I like big cities, but country life is so pretty and peaceful; I go out for walks and swoon at the wildflowers everywhere and the gorgeous houses and gardens. Maybe I would find it harder to adjust than I would think if I moved back into a real city by now. No idea…
Goodness, I meant catching the race, with a camera. I would never catch a pig; I would never approach a pig… I get scared and edgy around little dogs when they move and bark too much and get into my legs for crying out loud! I completely understand chicken fear, haha. A wasp is enough to have me hyperventilating…
Ah, I see what you mean. Personally I don't really mind emotional manipulation, my mother is really into emotional effects as well—but you make good points… Doing things for the sake of stabbing the audience's hearts doesn't lead to going for the ambitious thing or complex insight. It depends on how subtly it is made. And yes, the crowd effect is a very interesting thing to explore…
Aw, you didn't much enjoy the Eccleston arc? I liked it quite a lot, it was less complex though—the plots felt relatively simple, less intricate, but with emotion running deep (Dalek, Father's Day…). What you said about Nine. And now that I see those traits written, I wonder if they will apply to Twelve as well; that seems to fit the little we've been told or can imagine. We will only see when s8 airs, but it would be fantastic :D
:D Glad you still love it so much!!! Songs that survive such binge consumption, that really is love ;)
I'm about the same, what stuck with me the most with Japanese is the characters—that's what took the most work and it was the required basis for EVERYTHING, so I guess it's normal? Well, I do know little stuff like neko for cat, aoi/akai that should be blue and red… Tidbits. XD
