Quote.

"The past was the past; whatever it had been, it was no more at hand. Whatever its consequences, time would close over them; they would all in a few years be as if they had never been, and she herself grassed down and forgotten. Meanwhile the trees were just as green as before; the birds sang and the sun shone as clearly now as ever. The familiar surroundings had not darkened because of her grief, nor sickened because of her pain."



Thomas Hardy - Tess of the d'Urbervilles

Sigourney Weaver por Robert Mapplethorpe

Estes scans da Vanity Fair em que saíram originalmente as fotografias, em 1988, têm pormenores de transparência em que se vê o que estava do outro lado: colunas de texto, as luvas pretas nos ombros da atriz. Mesmo sem isso, as fotografias de Mapplethorpe seriam boas, assim ganham um segundo nível involuntário de interesse.

Some like poetry (Niektorzy lubia poezje)

Wislawa Szymborska






Versão Original

Tradução Inglesa (Regina Grol)





Niektorzy -
czyli nie wszyscy.
Nawet nie wiekszosc wszystkich ale mniejszosc.
Nie liczac szkol, gdzie sie musi,
i samych poetow,
bedzie tych osob chyba dwie na tysiac.

Lubia -
ale lubi sie takze rosol z makaronem,
lubi sie komplementy i kolor niebieski,
lubi sie stary szalik,
lubi sie stawiac na swoim,
lubi sie glaskach psa.

Poezje -
tylko co to takiego poezja.
Niejedna chwiejna odpowiedz
na to pytanie juz padla.
A ja nie wiem i...

Está tudo estragado.

O meu iPhone rouba-me produtividade de várias maneiras, desde o mais simples Sudoku aos vários Angry Birds, Kingdom Rush, Fruit Ninja, Sky Safari e hoje... a versão 2.0 do Tiny Wings. Está tudo estragado.

May the Force be with you.

A Comic Con em San Diego é o topo da pirâmide alimentar do mundo geek, mas os geeks já não são (só) o que eram. Super heróis, naves espaciais, federações de planetas, zombies, sabres de luz, hobbits e feiticeiros, jogos, séries de televisão, vampiros (de todos os tipos), filmes, animação e fantasia e, é claro, banda desenhada. Em algum momento algum destes temas ou formatos atravessa inevitavelmente o olhar de qualquer consumidor de cultura popular contemporânea.


Não me lembro de alguém em Por...

Tilt-shifts de Lisboa.

Não me lembro se tinha já visto fotografias tilt-shift de Lisboa, mas gostei. As fotografias são de Luís Morgado(a primeira) e Daniel Espírito Santo(as outras duas). A cidade fica a parecer ainda mais de brinquedo.

Tindersticks - City Sickness



I'm crawling, don't know where to or from
The centre of things from where everything stems
Is not where I belong
And the city sickness, growing inside me
So this is where I ran for freedom
Where I may not be free



I have these hands beating with love for you
And you're not here to touch
Sent you away, what else can I do
When I need something that much?



I'm hurting babe, in the city there's no place for love
It's just used to make people feel better
It's not like us
I got this sickness as I got off the trai...
