Franz Ferdinandはスコットランド、グラスゴー出身のバンド。みんなアートスクールの出身。女の子を踊らせる音楽を創りたいと2001年に結成された。去年はイギリスのBrit Award(アメリカで言うグラミー賞)のBritish Rock Act賞とBritish Group賞を2つも獲得し、今やスーパースター。David Bowie様はニューヨークでのライブに駆けつけたそうだ。去年、バンクーバーでのライブに行ったが、非常にかっこよかった。音楽も大好き。ここで試聴できるよ。
Franz Ferdinand is a band from Glasgow in Scotland. Everybody graduted from an art achool. They made this band in 2001 to create music to let chicks dance. Last year they received 2 Brit Awards (similar to American Grammy Award), British Rock Act Award and British Group Award, and now they are superstars. Apparently David Bowie went to their live in New York. We went to their live concert in Vancouver last year, and they were soooo cooool. I love their music. You can listen to the music here.

今朝、時間を読み違えていた。家を一緒に出るのにハニーを散々急がせ、会社にも、「すいません、30分遅れます。」とメイルを入れた。会社に来ると、な〜んか8時半出勤の人しかいない。この時、私的には9時半だったんです。他の同僚が到着する。「なんやみんな、今日は遅いなぁ。」と思いつつ、仕事してた。で、同僚が、「チルコ、お前なんで、30分遅れるっていうメイル出してんの?君、8時30分に来たやん。」
「何言うてんねんな。。。」と思いつつ、時計を見ると午前9時だった!
「げっ!1時間、間違えてた!」と言うと、みんな爆笑。私、赤面!ボケボケ!
ハニーに謝りの電話を入れた。
I misread the time this morning. I gave my honey a hard time to hurry to leave the house together, and I e-mailed my office saying, “Sorry, I will be late for half an hour.” When I got to the office, somehow there are only few staffs who start working from 8:30 am. At this time, I thought it was 9:30 am. Other staffs arrived. I thought, “Oh, everybody is late today.” and started to work. Then one staff said, “Chilco, why did you send an e-mail saying you were going to be late for 30 minutes? You arrived at half past eight.”
I thought, “What the heck is he talking about?” and looked at my watch and found it was 9 am!
“Doh! I misread the time for one hour!”, as soon as I said this, everybody pissed themselves. I got blushed. Stupid of me!
I called my honey to say sorry.
