Hey Ho, let's go.

BEYOND THE SEA (LA MER)
Charles Trenet (Jack Lawrence)

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
He's watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straigt to his arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star, it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
Some sailing

Eu tô tãããão cansada. Vocês não têm idéia.

E eu tenho uma camiseta do Gang of Four, lalalala.

Quatro aeroportos em cinco dias é pra deixar qualquer um atarantado. Mas não posso me dar ao luxo, porque mal piso em Guarulhos e já tenho coisas pra fazer a semana inteira.
Tanto Torino como Amsterdam estão em obras, mas nem uma nem outra deixam de ser cidades lindíssimas. De Paris, desta vez só vi as paredes de Roissy e uma garoa insistente que baixou a temperatura lá pros 4 graus.

Percebi que tinha chegado à Itália quando, dentro do avião, ficamos esperando uns bons quinze minutos parados depois de estacionar. Finalmente a voz da chefe de cabine diz : "desculpem a demora, estamos esperando a escada para o desembarque". Mais uns quinze minutos se passam, e mais uma explicação : "desculpem, a escada chegou mas era alta demais para esta aeronave. Estamos aguardando a correta".

Torino é uma cidade bonita e antiga, algo entre Inverness e Barcelona, talvez? Até um pouco de Istambul. Trânsito caótico, muitas igrejas e castelos, muitos velhinhos.

Em Amsterdam choveu direto, mas os canais e pontes continuam impassíveis. Eu aprendo algo novo sobre a cidade a cada vez que desço lá. E um pedaço do meu coração fica a cada volta.

Citando TS Elliot : "April is the cruelest month"

Er...meu Gmail está me avisando que eu tenho 1844 MB de capacidade (na conta, claro).

Resolvi ouvir Teenage Fanclub instead. Tomara que não aconteça nada.

Só porque eu tenho que acordar cedo eu não consigo dormir.

Decidi fazer abdominais e beber chá de hortelã todo dia. E "todo dia" virou "um dia".

Sinistro. Anteontem peguei um CD aleatoriamente na estante e era o "Jet Generation" do Guitar Wolf. Ouvi nonstop por dois dias seguidos. Até que veio a notícia de que o Billy, o baixista, morreu de ataque cardíaco. Ontem.

Hm, tá me dando uma vontade de botar um CD do Djavan.

Se você assistiu a "Robots" em português, esquece. Não imagino como alguém tenha conseguido reproduzir e traduzir o melhor do filme, que são as fantásticas one-liners metralhadas pelo Robin Williams, na sua habitual performance wacky e esquizofrênica. Além disso, tem inúúmeras gags e referências intraduzíveis. E tem o Drew Carey (Cleveland rocks!). Tirando tudo isso, que sobra? Uma história simples com moral dos anos 50, um visual cyber-retro bonitinho, sequências vertiginosas de corridas e um assombroso dominó busbyberkeliano. É isso. Deixa de preguiça e vai procurar uma sessão legendada, faz favor.

Monthly Horoscope:

For April 2005: You can call April your "coming of age" month. You begin to feel stronger about your authority and power. You feel good about the positive impact your efforts have on others. And if you’re still wearing it, you consciously, deliberately shed the "kick me" sign. In other words, you actually feel power running through your veins – and are vigorously, fiercely ALIVE. Feeling more alive makes you more aware of other living things, so your protective instincts toward the environment are in high gear all month long. Mid month may include travel or talk of travel. Agreements can finally be discussed without a lot of guilt or drama. Financial arrangements can be agreed upon, too. It’s as if the rest of the world collectively comes to its senses and recognizes that you were right all along. An eclipse on the 24th cinches a verbal understanding by documenting and formalizing an agreement. Some consultation or expert advice may be sought around this time. (Don’t allow this to become a headache – make sure the document can be amended, if necessary.) On the 30th, Mars scoots into your solar 7th house of relationships. This certainly provides action, challenge and excitement in your personal and professional relationships. Virgo: rumors that your world is dull are totally unfounded.

Peguei a idéia na Dani, que viu muuuuuito mais filmes do que eu (eu ainda tenho metade da lista pra matar). Mas tem muita coisa faltando aí, e coisas que não deveriam constar nem de longe. Claro, IMHO.

Encontrei a minha homônima filipina no Orkut. Provavelmente a mesma que tem confundido a cabeça de quem me procurava no ICQ há alguns anos. O curioso é que não temos uma comunidade em comum, mas ela gosta de Haruki Murakami, DIY fashion e Neil Gaiman como eu. E ela tem um blog.Hm, what's in a name?

flying colours 

Maggie Cheung 

Tony Leung 

Como não costumo ler sobre os filmes a que pretendo assistir, fui ver "Hero" não entendendo direito essa de Zhang Yimou - filme de ação. Puro engano meu, não é um "filme de ação". É uma obra-prima. Irrepreensível, de uma beleza e lirismo inacreditáveis, onde guerreiros/assassinos tomam dimensões de entidades flutuantes em meio a cores, muitas cores, folhas de gingko, lagos tranquilos e desertos. Poucos filmes me tocaram tanto. Não sei se é minha identidade asiática que fala mais alto nessas horas ou se a beleza infinita realmente é o que me move, mas saí fascinada do cinema. Um pouco obcecada, eu diria. Certamente, um dos meus filmes preferidos agora.

Eu já disse várias vezes aqui, mas tenho que repetir : a Maggie Cheung é uma das mulheres mais lindas deste mundo. E junto com o Tony Leung, forma uma das duplas mais bonitas do cinema. Em alguns dos filmes mais bonitos da história. Breathtaking.

ISTP - "Engineer". Values freedom of action and following interests and impulses. Independent, concise in speech, master of tools. 5.4% of total population.

Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs)

Quer saber? "Constantine" é muito bom. Apocalíptico (mais um?), bem-humorado sem soar pretensioso, visualmente lindo, criaturas bem concebidas, bom casting. Esqueça que é vagamente baseado em Hellblazer e encare como um bom filme de...sei lá, ação além da imaginação? Foda-se que o Constantine tinha de parecer com o Sting, foda-se se a nacionalidade que ele devia ter, bla bla bla. E isso lá tem importância? O básico tá lá, de forma eficiente. Adaptação-para-o-cinema, e não transposição-ipsis-literis (ou quadrinho-a-quadrinho)-para-o-cinema, pelamordedeus.

E Keanu, sim, um dos seres humanos mais bonitos desta Terra.
