arañas und Bier

am Sonntag
ich brauche Deutsch Bier
für studieren der Deutsch
(just a learning technique i am trying here)



but then i cannot concentrate
because Lady Spider keeps on
hovering over my head
oh she has dinner ready there!



ach! ich hoffe es ist Sonntag wieder!
aber es ist Montag heute (sad face)
noch
danke für eine geniale Erfindung:
Kaffee! ah, going for another cup

knitting and running

our lives are so beautifully fragile
some days i feel like
i am just a little dry leaf hovering along
the Autumn's thin air
coming down a big tree
to pose on the grass
or the floor

it is a mysterious awareness, this freedom
fearful might be sometimes
but blissful while comprehending
one breaths, in and then out
alive

your life could just end like that!
in a click
or a clack!
or…
out of a miracle
full of love and surprise
in a second
your fortune
can smile wide

life, owns quest of time

and i, now & then...
just because
run at nights
and
if the knees say yes!
i go fast fast fast!!!
natural seratonin
kicks in and...
then some imaginary air
sounds of velocity
move my hair
that caresses my back
a subtle trance

i ran now & then
lately
and then the knitting season
had also a come-back



i seem attracted
to mind-numbing activities
repetitive
peace induced?
maybe it is just the full moon
or das Herbst
or all of them
together (pause)
at once (pause)
buenas noches (pause)
y good-bye (ending sound)

mouse hunt

heh heh
silly movie
but it was nice to see this little chunk on TV
before leaving for work this morning

ich bin gut gelaunt
thinking of the little mouse

quotes

quotes are one of my guilty pleasures
couldn't resist this one...

"Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks."
- Doug Larson

du hast Geburtstag heute

¡Feliz cumpleaños!

i found this piece of a Liebeslied
in meine Deutschbuch, heh heh
i think, it is perfect for you today,
so here i copied it...

Wo mag meine Heimat sein?
Meine Heimat ist klein,
Geht von Ort zu Ort,
Nimmt mein Herz mit sich fort,
Gibt mir Weh, gibt mir Ruh;
Meine Heimat bist du.

Hermann Hesse (1877-1962)

ich hoffe du hast einen Freudentag
heute und immer!

pantuflas

what is for sale
around my neighborhood

der Regen

today finally rained in San Diego
after over 4 months of dryness
the sky took mercy on us.

Es regnet heute.

the 'air' bath solution

following a wise advice
i finally took a bath tonight
after a week of a stiff neck
headaches, and finally
a migraine
i poured
some eucalyptus oil in the bath tube
some of my relaxing secret ingredient
turned down the lights
and played
& my favorite AIR EP:
Premiers Symptomes
which i think is probably one their best
early efforts
the tastiest downtempo synth-french-pop...

ah here a sample...
i hate YOUTUBE now, officially!
grrrr but i found it here
oh wow, i don't sound relax again
:(, maybe i need another bath! ;)
and more Air

wo die Zitronen blühn?

i've been at home the past 2 days
a little sick
yesterday i went for a little walk
and ended at one of the used bookstores
around my house

i was glad to find a Schubert's 200 song
for the piano & voice...

and what was my nice surprise!
I can still read music, sheets of music
die Musik, die Noten!
after all these years
without playing piano
which i did for many years...

and even nicer surprise was to understand this little chunk of Deutsch
wonderful Goethe's words
"wo die Zitronen blühn?" wonderful!
i read them and knew at once what they meant...

one of my dreams
to be able to read my favorite authors on their mother language
Julio Cortázar en Español
Julian Barnes in English
and why not?
maybe soon I can read
Herman Hesse auf Deutsch
