channeling jasmin

For the past two mornings we've been washing the front of a friend's house. (She's got company coming in and wants everything to sparkle.) Today we had this super long brush that we'd dip into a cleaning solution of lightly bleached water. As we scrubbed away and the chlorinated smell began seeping into my skin, music from Bagdad Café started running through my head. You know, the bit where Jasmin (Marianne Sägebrecht) is sitting on top of the hotel cleaning the signs?



Okay, not exactly the image I was thinking of this morning, but it's as close as a quick google got me and gives the general idea.

Made me happy all day long and inspired this post. To top it off, I just found out from Wikipedia that the original German version has an extra twenty minutes. Naturally, I am now off on a quest to find myself a copy. I really do love that movie!
