blindness

tonight is the release of
Blindness, the film
based on this tremendous book by José Saramago

one of the last masterpieces of the 20th century

& i knew i wrote something about the book
a while ago
this mostly bitter, little sweet
old post from august 2006

really!
excited about the film
and very afraid too

so far, i've been reading
sort of bad reviews!
that's a little disappointing and strange
since Fernando Meirelles
is a great director

anyway, i will watch it

zweifellos
no doubt
indudablemente

lernen Deutsch

another busy afternoon
lerner Deutsch
die Stuhl draußen:
-kaffee! <-- die Zutat Zahlen eins
-vegetarian 'chicken' nuggets with Barbecue Sauce
-Erdäpfelpüree (afterall, i am learning Deutsch, potatoes are indispensable too!)
-die Bücher
-das Heft
-der Kugelschreiber
-die Bleistifte
-das Radiergummi

and after a couple of hours
i went for a little walk
escaped to a book store
and got me this kleine Buch
José Saramago's
"El Cuento de la Isla Desconocida"

the tale of the unknown island...
in Spanish, ah!
a spanish treat after all this Deutsch and English in my life

Saramago will provide some of my 1st language
when i have a little time! don't know when that
happen again...
