Zoro zoro

no, these are not the tree-ified feet of a gigantic alien ostrich
these are the root-feet from the two gigantic guardians
at the entrance of the Zoro garden
the sunken little treasure of our beloved Balboa Park
from a sunny Sunday walk
more photos coming soon...

not Tea for Two for Two Teas for One

ah what a week!

a molar less, plenty of lost time recovering

streaming Dark Shadows TV 60's series

reading, and mostly sulking around

but Sunday, i had not a Tea for Two

but Two Teas for One

and here a lovely old version

of the popular song...

the first day of August 2010

and it was a Sunday...
and it had a sunset, too

earthquake in San Diego, 7.2

as Easter Sunday rolls in
the land started to shake

Recent earthquakes near San Diego, California

Time Magnitude Location
1 hour ago 5.4 Baja California, Mexico
1 hour ago 5.1 Southern California
2 hours ago 7.2 Baja California, Mexico
from earthquake.usgs.gov

the 7.2 shake was pretty scary
i must confess i am still a bit shocked

aftershocks have been following the whole afternoon
here detailed updates

sure! i panic a bit
i cook soup and do errands to distract me but
i have my water bottles and gatos food handy on
a bag by my door, a flash light, and other goodies

dunno if it's 'cause i was in Mexico City in '85
but this one really freaked me out
waiting that on the next 72 hours that everything settles

and even if freaked out
i couldn't resist sharing this one

from two Sundays ago, an outdated belated post

i've been unfashionably late
always,
but it seems that so much more lately

i owe so many people [& myself]
late replies, comments, uploads,
posts, photos, outlooks, e-thoughts
and forwarded songs...
not to speak of
phone calls
and self-mind reminders

but not sure why
i got stuck in this abandoned place
that existed only before this wide world web

do you remember what you used to do
before you surfed the web?

alas! if after spending over 8 hours daily
behind one of this legendary machines
with keyboards and screens that suck,
share and shape our
attention and lives, i come home
to do the same again...

and yes, oh, i do!!
here, on a shadowy photo attempt
from not this past Sunday
but one before that one
i break the silence from this side
of the keyboard and salute
this world wide web...

here we go again!
sorry, but yes, we're late

Presidio park: haven of peace

tasted like copper this Sunday
at the Presidio Park



not radiant like Summer gold
not cold like Winter silver
but a warm orange
cooper Sunday

and i followed unexpected my own steps
3.12 pm (15.12 Uhr)
a sudden need for nature
the sight of a tree
a walk, i needed freedom!
and almost automatically drove
to these
prairies and trees
it was the mild orange of copper
today at the Presidio park
and i walked, and breathed
and caressed with my little camera
oh so many trees!

mopa

yesterday on a beautiful chilly Sunday in San Diego



i went for a walk at the Balboa Park



to finally become member of the
MOPA
the Museum Of Photographic Arts



I got the membership for a year
and now i can go in & out of the museum free
also i am invited to special events and presentations
and to this cool event on Thursdays called
Pop Thursdays
that combines cult film screening
music, interactive photography projects, and even drinks...

one very interesting exhibition i saw yesterday was
Writing with Light
it shows the work of young students
who were presented with works of literature
fiction and non-fictions and then
expressed their thoughts by photos
a very interesting connection between
literature and photography

i saw some really interesting photos
you wouldn't believe these are young authors!

and also i was able to visit the old classic
to see some Paul Strand little prints
and some always impressive Ansel Adams

and them rushed out of there to practice
my experimental photography
see here below what i call
urban fingers trapped on a small dirty car



and hopefully with all these wonderful photos
whooshing by my head
i might be able to work again in my abandoned
23hq photo page!
i do miss my friends there and playing with my picts
but there are just so little hours in one day!
this has for sure become one busy Herbst

Die schöne Melancholie des Sonntag

since a was young girl
i remember feeling this little
empty space in my stomach
every Sunday night
the idea that the fun part of the week
was coming to an end, i guess

and since then i've found little cures for this

Die schöne Melancholie des Sonntag
the beautiful Sunday's melancholy
la hermosa melancolía de Domingo



i've been to movies to forget or
when there's a new Simpsons on Sunday
that's my breaking point
but also a good early evening walk
will suffice for the mini-closing of the weekend
celebrating my own way of saying to this week
curtains downs
and welcome a new week ahead

and here what i saw
around 17.15 Uhr

presidential debate

last Friday i watched the 1st presidential debate
between Senators Obama and McCain

I am truly afraid of McCain!
It is just scary to hear his international politics and strategics
and it is just scary to even see him
his attitude and old-fashioned close-mindlessness
his KGB stories, and his POW stale tales

God helps this country if the republicans win again
I truly hope that American people get over this war
and vote for Obama

war and violence are so 20th century!
material richness and over-acquisition is so overrated!

i cannot wait for peace to take over this world
for Americans and other warrior power-trippy countries
to get into their populations true moral values

i cannot wait for rich people to become an old stupid fashion
and for humility and good natured intentions to become again the sign of how a good being is, not how big is your car

so anyway enough of my mad ranting
and hippie dreams of less social unfairness
and here judge for yourself

which of these men has a more 'positive' over all
point of view of the world
who will fit better into this 21th century
who thinks of 'talking' and not just keep on fighting and supporting a nuclear war



and yes!! we are 'the' super-humans
we have conquered nature and animal kingdoms
we can kill buffaloes with 1 single gun shot
and we have the power to destroy the world about 20 times
with our super nuclear weapons
we are really clever!!!
and i just ask always myself
wouldn't 1 time of destroying the earth will be enough?

if McCain gets into the power
sadly, I see a catastrophe coming into this country
and another catastrophe looming over this world

why humans can relate to people like Bush or McCain?
don't they have relatives??? I cannot believe
Bush daughters don't point him how much of an asshole he is!
I cannot believe these power-tripping men have NO families
to point at them: "hey Dad, or husband, you are sending your own soldiers to die, you are killing our country"... when it comes to politicians, I have never trusted, many of them raise into power and go crazy... OK, but why nobody around them stop them? for me, worse than Hitler (an extreme example here) were the ones who supported him, the guy was psycho indeed, but, why all his followers followed him? the scary part are the supporters... I truly trust that American people will open their eyes and forget about McCain and Bush and start trusting the world again

so much for a political Sunday morning

pardon!

sunny quiet Sonntag

today was one of those
lovely quiet Sundays


[and during the cooking of das Frühstück, a beloved voice came through, filling the eggs' recipe with joy]

an introspective day
with quiet home shores
the smell of laundry and the soft sun
reminded me of the peace


[i did laundry and realized i have way too many light green clothing (?)]

that peaces that seems to hide in between home-cooked meals
and quiet afternoons smelling of books and tea



slowly one can feel
the hot turbulence of the Summer
surrendering to the more calmed
languid moods of the Autumn



and slowly on this lazy late Summer, i can feel
as i contemplate shadows through my window



the memoir of your soft kiss
and the birds fly around again
in a little dizzy bliss



a sunny Sonntag sneaky feeling

lali puna

Es war Sonntag
it was Sunday
era Domingo



and
[Where do you want to go?]
[Where do you want to go now?]
[Where do you want to go today?]

Lali Puna
one of my preferred bands
i haven't listened to them in a while
but tonight... this song



Micronomic
It’s so hot in here
It’s burning outside
And all your teenage idols
have left the building
Haven’t you seen the signs of the time?
Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go now?
Are you the last to know
they’ve changed your future
Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go now?
Where do you want to go today?
It’s so hot in here
It’s burning outside
Everybody’s leaving
Say they will make it on the other side
Haven’t you seen the signs of the time?
Where do you want to go?

another Sunday

life
in the sky
or on earth
happens every day
busy is the existence of humans
and busy it's the life of birds
and today...
was just another December Sun-day
living in southern California

realization # 63

while the minutes of
my modest life pass by
I think of my existence
The things I do
The decisions I make
The thoughts my soul fights
Are usually seen, felt, semi-digested
lived, and sometimes just barely survived
From the point view of
A non specific gender being
a simple human being, without sexual characteristics
I don’t think of myself all the time as
a woman… and of course even less a man!
certainly not a dog, nor a cat or a plant...
a general-breathing thing, and that's it

And not very sure why
I feel that
the point of being a woman
in my case…
is to be able to be one
without being self-conscious about it

not often
but when this little mental state
comes about my feminine heart
is a bliss!
i go wow!!!, i am one of those...
no wonder i go crazy now & then (smile)
and then a woman, I am…

seems that this fact that has always been more evident
to the rest of the world
than for this self holder of the womanly problem

and also refreshing is to know
that we all have or times of non-gender definition
aside those times when the specific characteristics are involved

also it would be really helpful
for my personal development
if I could remember what the other 62 realizations
apparently i had before this one were,
and or at least what the heck they were about...

& here this woman’s favorite Tom Waits song...
either forward all his silly jokes (i like them but...)
or wait for the main performance 'cause it is superb!
and rather different from the original version
that i know...



another 24 minutes of my life
in this blog
is that right? or is that wrong?
i don't think it matters after all
(final & good night smile)

sunday well well

aa just had dinner around the corner of my house
literally... since it is the same block, literally
http://www.countrykabob.com/
i had a falafel sandwich and a athene beer the greek lager beer hmm?
and a nice refreshing talk with long-time friend jeff
just a beer a sandwich and a friend
was peaceful and nice
and now waiting for the simpsons newest episode at 8

i usually go to a friend's house (perro) every sunday at night
for the new simpson's episode
a little nice tradition that at least 4 or 5 of our friends together have

tonight i am skipping the reunion since the wedding was with them
and his cats (mis nephews got me all allergic) yet jeff is one of the simpson's night member
and i am happy he made it around normal heights for the beer and falafel

i badly needed food after helping my friend miriam the whole morning
to move boxes around for the moving to florida
so sad! but happy that she is starting a new fresher phase in her life

so a quiet mellow sunday with jim o'rourke on the back
aaa alone in my little egg and liking it so much

good sunday good night ah the short list is on tonight as well
right one
some wine and candies and tea!
making a pot of ceylon tea courtesy of bob walsh at work

i almost relaxed and mellow that i almost wish i was not
'cause this dull i can't write much or at least i can't write tragically-comedy-like
so i sort of dull writer suck
for after this year of intense emotions and missing like hell and the rest
i think i deserve a peaceful quiet nice sunday
specially since my b=day is coming!!! 37 years old is not to mess around with
heh heh

me good night and good luck
