L'esprit d'escalier « a lil' bit of nonsense

I just discovered this lovely video not long ago!  :D
It's made by Zooey Deschanel & Joseph Gordon-Levitt, they starred together in <500 days of summer>, a 2009 film.

Zooey: "I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since.

When we did 500 Days of Summer 8 years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and make up trailer; we had loads of fun. I hope to do a thousand more movies with him because he's simply the best. But in the meantime, we made a little New Year's duet for all of you! The original by Nancy Wilson. ENJOY! Don't forget to check out Joe's website http://hitrecord.org/."

Zooey is quirky, cute and fun. I don't know her irl, but I just feel this way.  as for JGL, he's a great actor, looks brilliant, makes me feel like he's the kind of guy you won't get bored with. on top of their attractive personalities & versatilities, I'm most impressed by their friendships. they enjoy each other's companionship as friend, they work, they spend time doing things they love and take pleasure in them(their mutual enthusiasm in music). I dare say if they're a couple, they wouldn't have impressed me so much. however I cannot deny that I actually believe that together they would make a perfect couple. >< ya, ya, mao dun.

ain't they adorable? hehe

words that don't exist in English:

L'esprit d'escalier: (French) The feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of all the things you should have said. Translated it means "the spirit of the staircase."

Waldeinsamkeit: (German) The feeling of being alone in the woods.

Gigil: (Filipino) The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute.

Cualacino: (Italian) The mark left on a table by a cold glass.

:D interesting!
