Poring Over Sanskrit Under Ivy League Moons

It's not a Saturday night if you aren't up til 3:30AM studying Proto-Indo-European word roots. Sometimes I almost feel like a real grad student.

And yeah, he pronounces this line wrong in the song. It's Sanskrit, not Sanscript (which sounds like a weird font name, if you ask me). I always wince inwardly and then feel like a pretentious snob. But hell, I'm not the one trying to name-drop ancient languages without doing my homework on them. And my current moon isn't even Ivy League (but I like it better here).
