zoot alors

zoot suit: A man's suit popular during the early 1940s, characterized by full-legged, tight-cuffed trousers and a long coat with wide lapels and heavily padded, wide shoulders.

zut alors!: shucks, dang, shoot.

This is the first time I have had to write an entire essay in one night (very unusual given the fact that its my 3rd year as an arts student). I am writing about the social significance of the zoot suit, and while it is an interesting topic, I would rather be celebrating the fact that today i delivered a 15 minute oral presentation in French arguing that Fascism does indeed have an ideological basis. And then was interrogated on the topic in front of the class.

This song makes it better: reminds me of something familiar in a way that I can't quite explain.
