Week VI

Salutations! Felicitations! Congratulations! Wait...never mind. I think I've been studying too much Latin recently. Hardly a day goes by that I don't make the comment "That word is Latin" or "That word comes from the Latin word (fill in the blank here)". Latin culture and language fascinate and interest me so much. As I'm typing to you all I can think of is how I would say all this in Latin. Sometimes I think I understand Latin more than I do English. Sorry, Mrs. Gunter, but it's true.

My pick of the week- Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd's music is, in one word, amazing. This songs comes from the album The Wall. Interestingly enough, Pink Floyd made a movie from these songs (which is strange, but an entertaining watch). Here are the lyrics:

(Little Boy)- "Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky"

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooo ooooh(x 3)
Did-did-did-did-you see the frightened ones?
Did-did-did-did-you hear the falling bombs?
Did-did-did-did-you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooo ooooh (x 2)
Did-did-did-did-you see the frightened ones?
Did-did-did-did-you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on.

Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.(x 2)

Normally I don't include the lyrics to my picks of the week, but these lyrics were short and I wanted to point out that the lyrics say "Did-did-did-did-you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?" I find this interesting. The Wall was released in 1979, after WWII and, coincidentally, after Brave New World was published. "The flames are gone, but the pain lingers on." Ain't that the truth?

Flaming Fireball of Fury that is my hair time-

I finally found my prom dress today! It is a gorgeous color green that goes perfectly with my hair. Yet again, Cora was the first to touch my hair this week. *drum roll* Fifteen people have touched it this week! This is madness! Anyway, a friend of mine told me that my hair would look great in dreadlocks. This, quite frankly, is even more madness. My hair in dreadlocks would be as bad a mistake as Napoleon's invasion of Russia (I added that for you, Emily dear). My hair would look horrible! It gets tangled badly enough in one day that I would HATE to see if for weeks, if not months at a time! Besides, the idea is gross. Not washing your hair for that long is disgusting. Yes, I suppose it looks alright on some guys, but it looks very awkward on girls. I refuse to mistreat my hair so.

Well, that's all for this week. Ta ta!
