Chef



Peter Murray adopted a kitten, and of course she became his muse. Her name is Chef, and she's already gotten the Hollywood treatment. Murray introduces her in a Wes Anderson-style video that hits all the right notes, from the purposefully symmetrical scene staging to the pastel colors. Someone asked how long it took to make this video, and he said about four hours. That's a couple of minutes to set up the lights, and the rest of the afternoon to get the kitten to sit still long enough to get clips that aren't just blurs of activity. Besides, Chef is as cute as can be and that's all we really need.

Weird.
I thought ... it not being about cooking but a cat ... that the cat's name would be pronounced Chef, as in chief but without the 'i', chef.
But he pronounces it Shef, like the cook, the French way of chef ?
It is the French way, huh ?
To say shef for chef, the cook.
We don't say fire shief, we say fire chief ... but the French ?
They may say shief ... feu shief
Feu chef, I guess is the French
Very different to sou chef.

Anyhow, shef/chef leads to grease in the kitchen, and Grease starred Sandy (R.I.P. Olivia) and I would have been more inclined to call the ball of wonderment Sandy, due to his sandy gingerness.

Or Sam.
