Listening to more Irish radio has not given me my much desired chance to hear Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova’s new single, “Sleeping”. It has, however, delivered a conversation about a missing albino pony and the €1000 reward being offered for its return. The farmer calling in was absolutely priceless. I swear that I had about a half second delay in understanding everything he said even though he was speaking English. Very bizarre feeling, that.
My officemate suggested that I practice such an Irish accent and then call into the college radio station. I don’t know that I could manage it, frankly.
Speaking of languages, I am now officially no longer a German major.
