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.

Why hello there!
If you've been on Twitter the last few weeks you'll have noticed about 1,000 "COME VISIT WE'RE STREAMING LIVE! LIVE I TELL YOU!!!" tweets from various people.
At first I was annoyed. WHY would I want to see you live? I barely know you! This is all moving too fast! Next thing you know you'll be wanting to leave a freakin' toothbrush over here and have your own drawer!
But now I totally get it. It's freakin' fun. I'll be trying to do one every night, so, come by and visit! I'll be posting on BitchBuzz's Twitter whenever we'll be going live on Qik.
Show us the last thing you bought.

the panties, not the girl. And in 3 colors: purple, black and ivory. ;)
This song leaves me speechless. Eddie is simply amazing.
That's it, I'm blaming the peri-menopause. I mean, I have a doctor's note and everything. ::sigh:: I'm not saying I'm on my "periodical" as Pa Kettle calls them. It's just hit-and-run rage and hot flashes. So, excuse me if I totally lose my shite.
On a forum about iPhones, I simply went nuts.
The poster, supposedly a female adult, was decrying the lack of apps for girls.
Think about that because I'm a fairly girlie-girl kind of saccharine-sweet freak
At the same time, I don't like being looked down upon for having a proper balance of X's -as in chromosomes
The whine about "no apps for girls" was enough to send up a red flag but I read on. She gave about 5 ideas, including something that could tell the girl-user how to color-coordinate her wardrobe. Excuse me? Okay, for one if we're being sexist, I'd argue that most women do better than most men when it comes to putting clothes together. Men don't care. -I'm old, these new-fangled metro-sexuals might care and that's fine but I'm saying in general
I tried to click away, my usual response to crap that ticks me off. I usually don't give it another thought but sometimes I'll post about it here or tell a friend if it stays in my brain long enough. What did I do, today?
I was mean. I'm not proud. I'm ashamed and I can't take it back. It's out there.
I asked "her" if the post was meant to be controversial. -because it sure as hell felt like it
I proceeded to call myself a girlie-girl type of person who found the mention of "apps for girls" insulting...I must be a smidgeon smarter than I had previously imagined and while I have always considered myself to have a poor self-esteem, at least I haven't yet resorted to having my iPhone tell me what to wear in the morning.
I ended with,
See? I'm sticking with the peri-menopausal defense. I'm guilty but I actually couldn't help it at the time. It was like temporary insanity."Sorry, I'm acting like a girl."
Driving past Sam's Club yesterday.
