mote & migraine Wednesday

today i woke up with a bad headache
and an awful sinus pain
made it to work only to leave
a couple of hours later
after many pills (which i hate taking)
failed attempts of naps and
uncountable cups of tea
i feel a little better...

so, looking around the web
i found a Sonic Youth song/quote/post
on a German blog
and it reminded me of how much i loved this song
and how Sonic Youth was, and still is,
one of my favorite bands of all times
and how much i appreciate, specially all the songs
written and sung by Lee Ranaldo
my preferred poet of noise
so this is not migraine-curing music
but it's good to remember good old things of
one's youth, when feeling down
so here, enjoy Mote, strange video
and weird lovely noisy tunes
and some good obscure lyrics to scream to



[Lee]
When you see the spiral turning through alone
And you feel so heavy that you just can't stop it
When this sea of madness turns you into stone
Picture of your life shoots like a rocket
All the time

Put 'me' in the equation it's alright
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me it's all cut through you (?)
From nowhere - to nowhere
Cut together - cutting through

I'm island-bound, a mote inside my eye
I can't see you breathing as before
I am airless - a vacuum child
I can't stand to reason at your door
In this time

Put 'me' in the equation it's alright
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me it's all cut through you (?)
From nowhere - to nowhere
Come together

I'm down in the daytime out of sight
Comin' in from dreamland I'm on fire
I can see it's all been here before
Dream a dream that lies right at your door

When the seasons circle sideways out of turn
And words don't speak just fall across the carpet
You're just in time to watch the fires burn
It seems a crime but yr. face is bright you love it
All the time...

look who is back!

mister grasshoper



last Wednesday I had to stay sick at home
around the middle of the day
I went out of the house, to stretch out
and watch the plants...
the big old big palm outside my house has grown so much!
and I have to look under its green long leaves
since I cannot see the top of the leaves
and oh what I great surprise when I look up
what I discover under the leave
the shadow of my old time friend
(and yours...-smile, here)
Mister Grasshopper!!!
so I went inside to get my film camera
which was happily loaded with this film
Reala ISO 100 - Fuji Film
just 12 exposition on the film...

so it was nice to see mister grasshopper
at least his shadow
i knew he was around 'cause i find holes in the palm all the time :)

but the whole surprise doesn't end here
mister grasshopper brought a companion!
a little one... I think he became father!
and brought his small grasshopper son!
here is from the same roll, what I think is a younger grasshopper

I remember a couple of days ago watching through the window
a smaller than grasshopper "something" a smaller insect jumping on the plants
so... yeah mister grasshopper's still around
and it seems he's bringing on the family as well

the smell of summer gets closer...
every day around

{38 days... wow!}
