T0p D0g Reloaded

Everybody is gearing up for the medium night ahead. No, no, it doesn’t have to do with those spirits, just with the alcohol I guess. I say medium, because it’s so fake and mediocre. Especially since I am not up to it. Yes, I might be depressed. I can hear some idiot’s boom box booming. The reverbs, the joy. And it’s not even proper party time yet. The kids with a curfew are already blowing up the crackers in the street. A distant annoyance. While my next door neighbour is disturbing me loudly receiving his guests and insinuating the New Year’s Eve menu under my door. T is up for a monster fight on a minor reason. Running on a short fuse doesn’t work with my attitude, either. Could everybody just let me be, please, before we regret it?

Apologies to Andressa for not making it in Warsaw. My excuse is I am no fun to be with now, there are witnesses to that extent.

The good news is all this will pass away. I am glad to be rid of 2006 and I cannot say I am looking forward to 2007.

I guess sometimes frustration builds up to burst into solution. Has it ever happened to you?

First I loved the book, then I lost it, then I could not remember the title, then I forgot the name of the author, then to whom I had lent the book, in no time my brain cells were dying like plagued and I couldn’t tell anything. Like I was trying to mention something remotely at the end of this post. Not very successful, wasn’t it?

And then, I was just looking for the title tracks of Rodrigo Leão, a man, although the voice I have for Cinema is a woman’s voice, but then again Rodrigo is a composer. Frustration. Google. Landed here. Notice the name on the upper left corner… Bingo! More Google. And I have managed to spot the info I wanted on his home page.

Five Letters From An Eastern Empire: Describing Etiquette, Government, Irrigation, Education, Clogs, Kites, Rumour, Poetry, Justice, Massage, Town-planning, Sex and Ventriloquism in an Obsolete Nation, London: Penguin Books, 1995. 58p; £0.60; pbk (Penguin 60s)One of a series of sixty small books selling at 60p each to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of Penguin Books in 1995. The title page verso incorrectly gives the copyright date as 1951. The text is not illustrated. the front cover features the wizened head of the emperor, printed in black and white on a red roundel. Exactly so!

I hope your Christmas was better than mine. Also I hope New Year’s Eve is going to be better than Christmas Eve. But I at least did get the last two take away slices from Pizza Hut.

I am growing scales, I am by myself, no fireplace, in fact instead of the season’s tree I feature a clothes dryer. Quite naturally I chose Plata quemada over Call me Claus. Nothing beats the Christmas blues better than a movie that reminds me I’ve been clipped into pieces and pasted back together randomly. Oh, and this has happened sometime back in 1965.

I give you Gordie. In full his name is Gordo Project and he shares the same birthday as Vava. The family name is, of course, the same with the place where Gordie became a Romanian at heart. By the way, he is an American, rare case of permanent migration. On his first night out, a couple of nights ago, on Vava’s birthday, Gordie has lent his name to a cocktail, ask for Gordie’s Special if you like sweet coconut and pineapple based, and also, due to his size perhaps, to any “small things”, i.e. 50 ml of vodka can be “A Gordie vodka”. You should also know that Gordie makes friends easily and can sleep in bar in the (empty) martini glass or behind the laptop. He wouldn’t sleep in just any bar, so far it has worked only in Project, where people are friendly, let you play your music, need may be, and bring cozonac and apples for the merry season. No carols, though, and that is also a plus.

If it’s a mess at least it should be clean.

It was Madonna’s lyrics from “Love profusion” versus Placebo’s “In the cold light of morning”. “I got you under my skin” versus “As your skin starts to scratch and wave yesterday’s action goodbye”. And the winner is Placebo for the brilliant liner “a cock in a dildo’s disguise”.

Wake up, turn around, panic, no time to turn around, wake up, dress up, wait in the car, morning rush hour, throw a fit with the parking guy, it’s not going to help anyway you already know the webpage is offline, get a car, go back to the car, people who are supposed to be late are early and people who are supposed to be early are late, event from hell goes relatively smoothly, hide address in tool bar so that nobody can find it, now the line is not working, now the line is working, but the welcome message isn’t working, where is the router, do you have a tracking number, give me a tracking number, I want to know where we stand, cold, having pizza in the car, final blunder with misunderstanding, Cinderella complex, running away to his friends before turning into a pumpkin, final bath and smear, yawn, unexpected message, explanation, argument like voice, shut down. Until tomorrow.

Other amusing developments: kitchen conversation and getting an unlikely supervisor for my long delayed thesis.

“Liberate your labia! Claim your clitoris! Value your vulva!” Hilarious!
