Can't get this song out of my head:
Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way
Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me some time
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
Coz both my shoulders are heavy From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said...Oh, my God
Please take it easy It can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride

No you don't know what happened

Ha Ha
Me + hotel receptionist in France = two confused parties
It's so much easier when you can book online. Unfortunately, two of the places I want to stay in France don't have online booking. So, Saturday was a hoot trying to get things arranged for my trip at the end of the month...
I had it all written-out, what I would say in French. And, despite my terrible pronunciation, I was ready to call. But as soon as someone answered the phone, I panicked and the English just flowed. With each phone call, my confidence improved and I tried using more and more French words and I think I have my accommodations squared away for the trip. Well, mostly squared away... There's a hotel in Saint Malo that may (or may not) be expecting me - And there was a comment made about "confirming via email" that left me confused, considering we never exchanged email addresses. (I think I need to make another phone call this weekend...)
So, I am looking forward to a few days in Paris, Brittany and Normandy. But, before I go I REALLY need to brush-up on my language skills...
