Jet Lag Sucks

This is perhaps the worst I've ever had jet lag in my entire life...I just hope my internal clock is reset soon, because I feel like I've been walking around like a zombie for the past three days.

But before I retire for the evening, the French Phrase of the Day:


"passer de la pommade a quelqu'un", which means literally to smear cream over somebody's else body. It's analogous to the English, "to butter somebody up," and once you think about, rubbing butter versus rubbing pommade on somebody is fairly similar (though in neither case could you realistically expect to gain somebody's favor by actually doing this; I know I would be pretty pissed off if somebody assaulted me with a stick of butter).
