my drinkable/edible Om(s)

so i much enjoy
the littleness of things
the quiet fragrances
of a humble cup of tea
of a hot cup of café
because
the seconds
the minutes
of the light

of how a warm cup
heats the space left in my hand
to hold it

the warmth travels from the tea
or the cafe all the way to my nose
to my heart, the aromas or warm love
the respect of making my own drinks
my little Oms

every minute that i fret
every minute that i breath
and when i think of you
or when i not
or if smile, or get sad
or have a bit collapse
of mild or severe wrath

and middays
sun and a small
gift comes and go every day
and every morning
with the opportunity
to live again
and i run then
to
every midday fulfill
with the aroma
and preparation of
my spontaneous escape
a cup of sunny tea
or some tasty meal



and surely i delight
in this pretty view
the prettiest tea i owe!
an Earl Grey de la Creme
the little blue flowers
{if you are curious to click-look closer in the picture}
are blue mallow blossoms
they blink-blue and jump
among the black leaves of the bulk

tea is always good
a moist throat in case you talk...
and good for sun strucken foreheads
if i would know!
living in California and with this big
head of mine

and was on Sunday afternoon
after enjoyed lunch
too
a salmon kabob on pita bread
a $4.95 to go, big chunks of
grilled salmon + fixtures
with a Stockyard Oatmeal Stout
maybe wasn't the best match of beer
for the salmon, but it was the only one
in the fridge...



and the matter after all
was to enjoying the littleness of life
nothing too sophisticated
nor complex nor ambitious
just a ray of sun filtering thru
a glass of beer
or warming up my cheap
cup of pretty flowery tea

josé sombrero= mothership

so obvious
the proof!
that mexicans are aliens

el sombrero de josé
a mexican sombrero
so resembling of
a mothership...
see?

finally watching this
A day without a Mexican
on DVD
i am 1/2 way thru
but i made a web-stop
the movie is just OK
but has very funny moments
even if its packed with old clichés
here das Trailer



had NO idea the director
of the film
is from Botellita de Jeréz!
one irreverent Mexico-City band

heh heh

kitchen


life and mood
so changing on the same day
a filter of light during the early day
then the sepia
and the gray falling into
this mental landscape

my kitchen this morning
your voice
and then a soft
fairwell
all was ok

then the cold
and the lateness
of the day came

like a bitter
but soft sepia
tastes the bread

the distance
and the yearning
the unfilfilled desires
of a distant caress
is not sweet not here
is just
like warm old cup of café

the sun reflects
but warms not
not today
just another
strange-lighted
novemeber sunday

los hermanos Coen

are back!
i watched tonight
No Country for Old Men
it does felt
like a Coen bros. film
recommended
Tommy Lee Jones and
Javier Bardem acting are remarkable
but sadly Woody Harrelson, was just
"whatever", I do respect and admire
Harrelson, specially for his acting in
The People vs. Larry Flint

but anyway
No Country for Old Men
felt like a good-written but on 80's western
with a psycho twist
an enough-confusing violence to make it drier
great photography and much texan speaking
worth the 2hrs on a Friday night

Jan Svankmajer

when i saw the version of
Alice in Wonderland
by Jan Svankmajer
i knew his world of animation
had to be a very surreal one
of course my favorite character
has to be the White Rabbit
here the scene of how he came to life



and
i found tonight
this little weird animation too
tma/svetlo/tma
(darkness/light/darkness)
from 1989!

ich trank dies Bier gestern

i got it from Trader Joe's
probably my favorite grocery store



the "commercial" description here:

"Hofbrau" in German means "the brew of royalty." Trader Joe's Hof Brau Bock is a fine example of the regal brewing traditions still found in Germany today. This outstanding bock is golden in coclor, very rich and moderately hopped. 22 IBUS. Brewed with three types of imported malts, Hallertau aroma hops and lager yeasts.

And I would say...
it was pretty decent for a grocery store beer

here a complete review from some Bier "Connaisseurs"

Dunkin' Donuts is not just about the donuts


this whole-bean coffee is a medium roast
and makes the best traditional
American breakfast coffee
that goes very well
with or without the Donuts...

I usually prefer darker roasts
French or Italian, Espresso too
but this lighter roast
is a good fresh change now & then
and being Dunkin donuts
such a traditional brand
it was a good find at the supermarket!
whole bean on sale for $4.99 the pound

very fresh and very nice
now it's gone and while i sip on a darker roasted
i missed having a third cup, which i could have
allowed myself with a mediumer roast...

oh well, tomorrow will be another morning
another warm cup, another humble blend

here an 87 points (out of 100) review
from coffeereview.com
on this popular Dunkin' Donuts Original Blend
