Sainthood

album by Tegan and Sara. The name was inspired by a Leonard Cohen song, "Came So Far For Beauty".

"I practiced all my sainthood/I gave to one and all/ But the rumors of my virtue/ They moved her not at all"

The idea behind Sainthood is that you're potentially not good but you're practicing at being good to win the affections of someone.

practicing Sainthood. That is, pretending to be someone you aren't; pretending to be good in order to get someone to like you.

Saint-Petersburg

As well as the city in Florida, USA, it is also a big city in Russia (the second after Moscow according to the population). Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great (czar and the first EMPEROR of Russia). Sometimes called the Venice of the North or the Northern Venice. It was the capital of the country from 1703 and up to the October Revolution (if not mistaken :)). Often colled the Northern capital (of Rusia). White night and the Hermitage museum, St. Isaac Cathedral, the Russian Museum, and so on

The white nights in Saint-Petersburg are unforgettable!
