I wish I was ἐν οἴνῳ νῦν.
I’m unplugging everything (save for my fridge) in my room, gathering up my things, going to Latin, and then getting on a 3:45 Badger Bus bound for Milwaukee for Thanksgiving weekend. I am so excited. I’m going to get home and in all probability, pass out. OR no wait— Watch newly-purchased Star Trek and all the special features with the fam. That’s the master plan. And have a laaaaarge glass of οἶνον.
Besides typical Thanksgiving familiaque relatives-related happenings, I also get to spend time with best friends that I haven’t seen since August.
ἀλλὰ there’s plenty of Greek and Latin and creative writing homework to do. καὶ I am ignoring history, because I kind of hate it right now.

Working on Study Abroad application, for a three week summer program in Pompeii and Rome.
I’ve decided that I’ll be making my way around Italy with poor elementary Italian, though primarily with Latin. Maybe this will work in Vatican City.
“UBI LATRINAM EST?!”

CIRCUMSPICE GLAUKOPIS

This happens when you study Latin too much. You translate parts of ridiculous songs such as Total Eclipse of the Heart into Latin. Though “Glaukopis” is Greek, but it straight up means “bright eyes.”
“To Be By Your Side” by Nick Cave.
I cannot stop listening to this song. It’s from the “Winged Migration” soundtrack, a random CD I picked up from the library. A golden find.
Across the oceans across the seas,
Over forests of blackened trees.
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe,
To be by your side.
Over the shifting desert plains,
Across mountains all in flames.
Through howling winds and driving rains,
To be by your side.
Every mile and every year,
For everyone a little tear.
I cannot explain this, dear,
I will not even try.
Into the night as the stars collide,
Across the borders that divide
Forests of stone standing petrified,
To be by your side.
Every mile and every year,
For every one a single tear,
I cannot explain this, dear,
I will not even try.
For I know one thing,
Love comes on a wing,
For tonight I will be by your side,
But tomorrow I will fly.
From the deepest ocean to the highest peak,
Through the frontiers of your sleep.
Into the valley where we dare not speak,
To be by your side.
Across the endless wilderness,
Where all the beasts bow down their heads.
Darling, I will never rest
Till I am by your side.
Every mile and every year,
Time and distance disappear
I cannot explain this, dear no,
I will not even try.
And I know just one thing,
Love comes on a wing
And tonight I will be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly away,
Love rises with the day
And tonight I may be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly, tomorrow I will fly,
Tomorrow I will fly.
This Tornado Loves You
