Um novo dia?
Aquela história dos antigos. De que a Terra seria plana e que depois dela haveria um fim, um precipício, um mar revolto. E as nossas vidas? Rodam sobre si próprias, à volta do Sol, ou são planas, lineares, com um mar revolto sempre à espreita?
Vivemos sempre abaixo das nossas possibilidades

Dreaming My Dreams With You, Cowboy Junkies w/ Vic Chesnutt (2007)
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore
I hope that I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for
The way that it is in my mind
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
I won't let it change me
Not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away
As much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
diário
são três da manhã de uma noite de um dia interminável.
Agricultura interior
Era urgente que fizessem manuais sobre o cultivo das distâncias.
"La clave no es trasladar libros a pantallas electrónicas. No es eso. No. El problema es que el hábito de la lectura se ha esfumado.Como si para leer necesitáramos una antena y la hubieran cortado. No llega la señal. La concentración, la soledad, la imaginación que requiere el hábito de la lectura. Hemos perdido la guerra. En veinte años, la lectura será un culto."
Philip Roth, El Pais, 23.03.08
Sitemeter, Gmail, Technorati
Nestes dias de pausa geral, quase se sentem os passos e a respiração dos fantasmas.
Easter time, LSD version
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Recall Alice
When she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the door knob said:
"FEED YOUR HEAD" .
[Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit, Woodstock 1969]
A letra Escarlate
Há cinco verões, esta foto esteve uns meses no desktop. O que na altura fazia sentido ainda hoje me atrai nela.
A letra M (2)
Felizes daqueles que já encontraram o Phill Collins que habita dentro de cada um de nós.

A música só interessa verdadeiramente quando abre a ferida.
São assim os dias
A volatilidade de todas as coisas.
O desejo de qualquer coisa de perene.

Auguri a tutte le donne
let it flow, slowly
Agora
Há um cansaço tão novo e tão antigo. Que te pesa e te torna pesado. Que transpiras e não expulsas. Um cansaço que te vem de dentro e que desconhecias. De uma glândula adormecida, uma hormona que se perdeu no caminho. Um cansaço que há-de vencer-te. Que já te vence. Que venceu. Um cansaço.
Da intimidade das estações
Outra vez aquelas sequências intermináveis de espirros. Mais zonzo ainda do que é costume...
É dos pólens, dizem. Da Primavera, se é que ainda a há.
Estranho... a Primavera. Não é ainda Outono? Sempre Outono?

Queixei-me do costume. Dos choros convulsivos, sem motivo aparente. Receitou-me abstinência, moderação, vá lá, da culinária mediterrânica.

House
O episódio de hoje do House foi o melhor de sempre. Porque tinha enfeites de Natal (o que o jetlag faz às séries...) e uma data de frases daquelas que os blogues adoram citar. Todas sobre a mentira, um tema e peras. Ah, e também tinha uma cena de sexo com animais que acaba numa igreja na Noite de Consoada. A sério.

I believe in stealing
Q: Did you watch a lot of romantic comedies to prepare [‘Leatherheads']?
A: I believe in stealing. I ripped off ‘‘His Girl Friday’’ and ‘‘The Philadelphia Story.’’ I was ripping off everything — I’ll send apology letters to everyone. I’ve sent an apology to Sydney Pollack already — there’s a scene I stole from ‘‘Absence of Malice’’ that is so close we had to change it.

No limite
Viajar
só pelo prazer de perder a noção dos fusos horários. Talvez encontrar uma ilha que deles se tenha perdido.

My Heart
A letra T (2)
E há aquela tecla. Perdi os óculos, estou com falta de ar, espetaram-me uma faca na barriga, vi um disco que não sei se temos. Há-de haver por aí telemóveis sem aquela tecla.
A letra A (3)
Plural? O simples singular já é piada.
A letra T
O telemóvel é que precisa de limpeza urgente. Está com gente a mais. Gente que não conheço nem quero conhecer. Gente que conheci que não me interessa de todo. Gente que prefiro não reconhecer quando toca. E os apelidos. É urgente rever a política de apelidos.
A letra S
É claro que há a solidão-solidão. A noite que nunca mais acaba. O ar pesado. Os passos em volta.
Mas a solidão mais inesperada é quando caminhas na multidão. É aí que te sentes como nunca antes.

A letra A (2)
Seria, pois, mais sincero dizer que tenho mais namoradas que amigas. Sendo que o plural faz aqui figura de estilo.
Love spam (2)
É claro, quem sou eu para contrariar o gmail?
Love spam
Um dia destes, o gmail tratou como spam uma mensagem dela.
