killing time in tampere, after an annoying ryanair flight. they definitely need adblock even on airplanes. the attendant would go by and just go on mute when she reaches you. she would smile and turn off the radio ads also.

tried waiting in the station. found a socket for the laptop, but didn’t work. i got some looks for sitting next to a homeless. all the sockets were belong to him so what could i do, ha?! moved to mac. the coffee is decent and they have wifi.

i’ve been drinking belgian beer and going to IESN courses. i re-read Survivor by Palahniuk on the way. it’s weird how i can read one book in one day and then when i have a freakin’ full battery i drop it like an old sock. i’m a maniac.

Belgium is so cool for so many things. beer and coffee and the sandwiches (oh lord, the sandwiches!) and Sim mother’s morning croissants and Simon and aaah, so lovely.

thank you, thank you, thank you!

haven’t posted in a while. busy month. these days i’m in lovely belgium. starting up my mornings with a blueberry muffin and a Cafe Maya (AMT is a fairtrade company).

and i am having a week of “studying” at IESN in Namur. mostly i am showing off my lovely Dell and having my coffee in their “no drinks allowed” labs. i heard it’s called “being exotic”

when i think computers are heinous creations meant to keep us apart from enjoying simple things… like Q-tips.

good days ahead

i like it.

to some: listen to people. we don’t need to better everyone. self-sufficiency is not a commodity.

to others: be positive. laugh. play. be fun. if life gives you shit shape it in tu-tu monkeys. they’re fun to look at

atat.

new toy. love’s coming. old friends back in town. big gathering. ne vedem in vama. sa ne circarim, sa dansam si sa ne mahmurim.

ps: @danut: vinoooooooo!!!!

update: danut a venit

in a while. today i give away (and hopefully don’t get back) my first special toy. thus leaving myself computerless for some days.

a beautiful voice today i heard. stereO. one of the places i go for good music.

here’s Anthony and the Johnsons. He somewhat reminds me of Terry Callier . Ah, yes and see you at Massive Attack this saturday

Found on McSweeney’s A site of writings and writers. A good site. A funny site. I indulge my craving for laughter sometimes with their insatiably humorous monologues. Give it a go. Tout-a-loo!

Found and watched this today. Not the only one struggling to make a point, but one with a nice way of doing it

The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard.

Take some time and read this also.

no sacred things remain.

After a steady one night stand (actually quite an ongoing relationship) with a bottle of vodka, you wonder the beach in a haze. One thing that always stops me and has me starring for minutes, lost in shamanic stories, mumbling incoherent words of praise is this:

I’ve seen them for years, but only today I found out what they do. They’re jugglers and they play with firepois and devil sticks. They’re beautiful. They call themselves Raja and they promise to keep you fascinated

Lars’ next phone

i definitely have a thing for activists. definitely.

to wake up and want to exercise. to eat veggies and never feel like smoking a lucky again. to not want to drink. to wear a skirt. to read at least 1 book a week. to… to not have to wake up and want these from time to time.

it gives me a crushing morning headache.

finally did it.

questionable review v1.3 (words i am not good with. festivalee i am. humble opinions need not nor claim to be accurate/professional/informed. warning: heavy bitching ahead)

on the first day of Werchter,
dio sent to me
5 pints (from a 1-5 rating system, madames et monsieurs) go to: lenny kravitz, mika, the national, vampire weekend and (as i’ve heard due to my terrible freezy nature) to chemical brothers.
an energizing pint of guiness to the r.e.m. blokes with a “this one goes out to the ones i love, but next time a little more lively, mr stipe” tiny card note.

second day of werchter brought heat. pissed chicks cause pete doherty cancelled (is he still in jail?!). but air traffic’s second performance was more than a cool replacement. a big drunk cheers goes to the monza table. jay-z was also in da house. oh, yes. i do like jay-z! i always have. cause he makes me shake it. and because i respect anyone who opens glastonbury with a kick at noel gallagher. didn’t like hot chip. neil young is too….mmm… i don’t know for me. but i saw him. (the country redneck girl in me speaks now, but golly gee wee ain’t it neat when you see live the people on radio?! ). the verve were very …blasé. but it’s been their “thing” for some time. i loved them anyway. and give it up for mooooobyyy yes, baby, this body is a rockin’!

and then came her. cutely with a pinch of rightfully announced naughtyness in her looks, she stepped to her piano. by the time she rampaged the stage with her dickhead she had me orgasmic. her violent screams…oi … kate nash had me clinging to her golden mini skirt. she told me it was her birthday the next day so i sang happy birthday. others happened to be there. following her i got an almost sinful feeling while shouting (i don’t do singing) on kt’s tunes. but chicks owned the third day of werchter. and and and not to forget the hives and editors (their 1000th concert). sigur rós silenced the beasts on the werchter field. iceland is, i guess, one of those by default cool things. kinda like luckies and morning hair.

alas the 4th day played a non-fun panic at the disco. somehow thought these are gonna be fun to watch. not.
next…mmm… how to describe what the lady wakes in me … i was 10 when a dude told another dude that i had the biggest crush on him. i sobbed the whole night, i woke up and i kicked both their asses in school. one for telling, the other one’s just to show off. mda, that sums up michel, sacrifice and nobody’s wife i guess. i love anouk! and she brought her little kid and the little kid played guitar!!! i love anouk!!!
and then the kooks were out along with ol’ strange fellow jack white and his raconteurs and the kickass kaiser chiefs. (and then came the joke…) these guys put the “oo” in cool ta-ram-ta-dam! oh… i am good.
man, beck rules. he bloody rules. even though later on i shall put him in the “a howdy folks wouldn’t have sunk your mojo, man!” group, he just is… pure fucking music. and he had a sunglasses tan el si tipu’ ala din fotbal, cum l-o chema. deus were good. really good. one of the nicest atmosphere. you could feel they’re home. and mark ronson was a hip performance.

ok, za “i’m now a fan of” group of the festival was: (drum roll…) john butler trio. down under jam, man. the guy was funny, he was chilling on the werchter field. give it a listen.
the “we’ve been listening to you for years, i came for you here and you should’ve done the same, leave the i’m too cool for this attitude home, mates” big no-no group: r.e.m. (love you, but…), beck… and the biggest of them all… the great radiohead. which i will not comment on.

that was werchter. and a lot more. next glastonbury.

This web-finding is just too awesome to be only named awesome and not other unit of language pertaining to the highest degree of comparison.

(little Russian dudettes, would you be so kind as to offer free of beer charges translation services during programming tomorrow? )

And let’s remember The Ducktators

gratuitously mean people are plain stupid fools. be nice, for fuck’s sake. it just takes being silent and more humble. at least, it won’t bite you in the ass as the jedi mind tricks i shall bestow upon you!

old things have gathered stories. dusty people are beautiful people. at times, we get blinded by fake reflections. we come back. grounded, where it has been our place all along. we glide slowly, damaged, insecure and thankful. we amass joy, character, mourning, holding hands and letting go’s. to find a complementary loneliness. someone who has gathered and gleaned. a fascinating act. a story teller as well. to sit. to listen. to snail no more.

Busy studying stop and being happy stop found these stop fantastic stop
