Right, I should be studying right now. But really. What makes me desire to translate half a page of latin talking about Romans invading some country inhabitated by some Marsic population? Tacitus I'm kind of hating you right now =.=

Ok, I'm on a Warren Zevon roll these days. Guess it's because I found the last two records I didn't have. And well... one of those was the envoy. On which there is a song called, not so surprisingly, The envoy. Lyrics following.

Nuclear arms in the Middle East
Israel is attacking the Iraqis
The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
And Baghdad does whatever she please
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy
Things got hot in El Salvador
CIA got caught and couldn't do no more
He's got diplomatic immunity
He's got a lethal weapon that nobody sees
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy
Send the envoy
Send the envoy
Whenever there's a crisis
The President sends his envoy in
Guns in Damascus
Oh, Jerusalem
Nuclear arms in the Middle East
Israel is attacking the Iraqis
The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
And Baghdad do whatever she please
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy
Send the envoy . . .
Send for me

This was written in 1981. The more I read it the more it feels like he did this last month and it's creeping me, to say the truth. Music misses this man, really.

And... is someone teaching me how to cope with idiot driving teachers? I mean how am I supposed to learn if the guy who teaches me is so sure that I smoke pot that he even asks if I do to a friend of mine who took also lessons with him? O___O (and no, I don't smoke. Anything O_O) And will I ever learn to drive in the end? -.-

Ok, ok, I'm studying. Tacitus here I come....
