Here's a funny translation:
J'ai le cafard
meaning...
I am depressed.
Literal translation...
I am the cockroach.
Here's a problem I'm running into. I'm reading my Archie comic books (in French) and I'll need to look up several words to make sense out of a sentence. So I'll get my French dictionary and start looking up words. By the time I get through them all, I've forgotten the first one and then the cycle continues. I bought a electronic French dictionary which the kids turned into a very expensive paperweight. Apparently you can't pick up a dictionary for under $100 very easy. I guess the more the look the words up the better I will remember them. Sure is frustrating though.
