The 2010 Winter Olympics
APTN rules!
we are watching cross-country and the announcer is speaking Dene. i have never listened to someone speak in Dene for half an hour. it reminds me of sitting at a sunny cafe, drinking espresso and ouzo in Spetse watching the fishermen get ready to put their boats out at dawn.
there is something very relaxing to me about listening to people speaking together in a language you don't really understand. the disappearance of words as information makes language into music, and lets you dial up another sense or two.
we may have found a cure for 'Annoying Olympic Announcer Syndrome!
