ßeowulf

i'm learning to see the world through the eyes of god
and learning that there is no difference in the seer and the seen

there are times when i feel so grateful. so penetrated by happiness that i seem to lose my edges to the wetness of my heart. i become music.

in borrowed words, i have realised,
space and time both... more »

    Yeah, sure, it was the last of his novel's i read, I loved it. I love how the plot twists and turns and how he puts gods in a whole different level. Very interesting =) Looking for something new to read. Any suggestions?

    Oh, I hadn't read any until last year and they all turned out to be some of the best pieces of writing I'd ever read. You really ought to give it more tries then =)

    sure, I'll take a look at it ;-). right now I am trying to woo an insomnia with Yann Tiersen and Devotchka... they have been my madness, my love, my torture, for over one year and a half. http://www.myspace.com/devotchkamusic
    I suggest starting with Head Honcho. we'll talk about Tiersen later, if by chance, you haven't meet him yet...
    Those two, Yann T and DeVotchKa are the replacing parts of my brain at this moment. I will probably write more in the morning, when I will actually have regained speech. so nice to hear from you again...

    The Cd,

    "Blue Lights before Dawn" That's the name of the cd in question. You are correct....she does an excellent redition of "Tupelo Honey on" it.

    JASS!

    oh, hello, it's been a long, long time, and it's such a pity... I just got back home from a week at the seaside, in the small village Vama Veche, notorious here for it's unique atmosphere, being a 'students resort' - tiny, eclectic, bohemian, nonconformist, agitated, surprisingly relaxed and 'weedy' , hehe... well, it's been a very nice stay, mainly because of the large variety of music you can listen there. at night, Vama is one large open-air nightclub. by day, there are bars that enchant your beach hours with jazz and lounge music. and in fact anyone can fine a suitable place: there are reggae, ragga and jungle bars, alternative bars, metal and gothic bars, drum n' bass clubs, etc. etc. so, how about you? what have you been doing recently? I keep saying to myself that one is the loneliest number you'll ever know.

    Ah Beo ole buddy ole pal...Where hast thou been? I've been keeping busy. Finally did a PGD in Social comm media from Sophia Polytech. And let me just say that that was a wasted year. Don't think I learnt much but at least I got to watch some cool movies. Oh yeah, and make some too. Or rather, two docus. It was fun but I now know what those editing sessions you were talking abt are like, first hand. Can't say I enjoyed those as much as the others did. Anywho, what's been keeping you busy? Still in theatre? Or has something else caught your fancy?

    Hi! I saw your msg on one of my friends' Shelfari site asking where you can buy cheap/2nd hand books in Amsterdam... I'd say, try the flea market at Waterlooplein. If you're lucky like I was, that would be a source of good finds. Good luck!

    Hey B,
    a thousand apologies for neglecting you for so long! I am deeply ashamed but in my defense I have to say that I have been off the world these last months (and still am but I have to break out of this melancholy or I'll drown in it). What have you been up to these last months? I've been studying (I can almost hear you thinking "Duh") and I finished my second year and started my third which means that I've only one more year to do after this! Can you believe it? I hope so because I can't! this means that I'm up to my ears in bachelorpaper-preparation which leaves little time for reading. Unfortunately I never had my priorities straight and I've read the entire Twilight-saga in a week, which means I was off the world again but this time in a good way! ;-) I went to Italy for a month this summer: ate too much pizza and ice-cream and bought way too many clothes and bags. But I learned a lot and visited lovelies cities and villages, so it wasn't all shopping (good thing too otherwise I wouldn't have been able to lift my suitcase, that was already a pest now!)
    And what have you been doing? Are you very cross? I really hope not!

    Thanks! You should read "In the Skin of a Lion," it's a good one! Not that any of Ondaatje's aren't good ones.... but still.
