I love this album. I admit this is one of the few songs that I went out and found the lyrics for instead of writing them down from memory, mostly because it's not in English. But the song is beautiful, Elena Ledda's voice is amazing and heart-wrenching. But I listened to the album most of the day yesterday as I was running around and was reminded how outstanding it is.
Nadelu Segnora mia
sezis cussa lastimada
chi giamant "Maria"?
Mama proite cuades
sa cara bianca che nie
nadenos pro chie?
Sa Segnora nostra at prantu
tota sa notte a succutu,
mannu est su corrutu.
Su sambene s'est asciutu
in sas venas de una rosa
Mama dolorosa.
Amen, amen.
Ista Mama soberana
de lagrimas imprendada
a pes de sa rughe.
Su ch'in nascher fit sa lughe,
es morzende in abbandonu
de umbras in velu.
Dae sa rughe leet
su 'olu cun alas insambenadas
Mistica Colomba.
Cand'abberint sa tumba
cun su corpus in ghirlanda
s'anima de gloria.
- Lino Cannavacciuolo, "Sa Lughe"
So at work we have these long hallways and to decorate them a group started having photo contests and then all the people who's photos are selected end up on the wall blown up to poster size. Then at the end of the quarter you get to keep your blown up photograph. I have had one selected a while back, but it's been a while.
This one got picked this time around. Kinda cool.
Show us your happy place.

the panties, not the girl. And in 3 colors: purple, black and ivory. ;)
This song leaves me speechless. Eddie is simply amazing.
Driving past Sam's Club yesterday.
Loathing:
Shin Splints- That's what running does for ya. I've been doing a C25K program for a little over a week now. I finally bought some proper running shoes yesterday though so I think that's going to make a HUGE difference.
People who stare. I just colored my hair with Feria's Chocolate Cherry Hair color. It's a VERY bright red/purple/blackish color. Especially in the sun. I freaking LOVE it. Other people...not so much. Let's see what they think when I get my tattoo and my nose pierced in September..HA!!
The fact that there is still at least 5 more weeks until school starts. This summer has seemed LONG.
Loving:
My new body that is being unveiled a little more every day. I'm REALLY starting to LOVE what I'm seeing. (Bart is too.. ;-) )
My brand new Nike Shox Navina+2 Running Shoes. These are by far the MOST EXPENSIVE shoes I have ever purchased...AND the most divine on my feet.
My new Hair. Yes the blackish, reddish, purple look really suits me. I've always been a bit of a freak. It's not like I have to go get a job or anything...LOL. You can't really see the purple in the pic because the sun wasn't shining on it enough but trust me it's there..and it's AWESOME!!
My new Treo 800W- There isnt much this phone can't do. It's a damn sexy phone.
