palavroes



Este blog ficou muito activo esta noite.
PARA QUÊ?!

Não tenho metade do interesse que tem ver o Rear Window pela quinquagésima vez, por exemplo.

la-la-bla

Estou necessitada de estímulo cerebral.
Quem anda cá por Londres e pode ser inspirador não me vê, ou eu não os vejo, ou niguém se vê. Porque Londres tem disto, tira a vista às pessoas, vaza-a e nem nos damos conta. Ao mesmo tempo secam as fontes e nem nos parques podemos matar a sede, só nos lagos com ratos com cabeça de pato.
Estou com saudade, de quê não sei, de quem, são muitos.
Tenho uma inércia enorme amarrada em mim, agarrada a tantos sítios do meu corpo que começo a perguntar de onde veio... de fora ou de dentro.
Deve ser esse o problema, não lhe sei da raiz e deixei-a crescer e apoderar-se, esta erva daninha.
Tornar-me parada, vem com oferta de uma morte vegetal consciente.
Numa contradição pegada a tudo o que sinto e digo
(como se lê)
Não tenho vontade ou paciência.
Deixei de querer ou de correr.
E sinto-me extremamente só
(como outros milhares)

Faço eu o meu caminho, sem culpas nem culpados, faço o meu plano.
Se não é cumprido, sei-me falhada. Sem culpas, além da minha.

E renimadores do ER funcionavam?
Davam um susto de morte e eram capazes de doer...
Mesmo assim não sei se me levantava deste estado.
Parece que deixei de aprender.

Deixei-me ficar.
Mas onde?


Continuo com reservas se isto de ir a Madeira é a ajuda certa...

n.b.: esta bela foto é do senhor André, que sem autorização foi posta aqui p'ra meu bel-prazer.

Quem falou em copywriting?!

water - the nonsense I

WATERTALK*

* The application of graphic devices on glass surfaces in the urban environment, that are revealed when it rains. Utilising the principle of stenciling, diverse messages can be easily applied, having an immediate effect that is then dissipated by climactic conditions.

WATERTALK is a guerrilla movement that focuses on ‘water’ as a way to communicate a message. It aims to raise people’s awareness of the Earth’s water related ecological issues, regardless of their level of scientific knowledge.

A wide range of locations provide the backdrop for this activity, almost any transparent surface can be a canvas.

Simple graphic devices - sans serif typefaces, line illustration, concise phrases and placement - demand the observer’s immediate attention. It is not imperative that the viewer comprehends the message directly, since intrigue may be the means by which dialogue is opened.

WATERTALK employs common water terms such as fresh, pure, balanced and natural alongside darker and macabre terms, such as death, wastewater, unhygienic and misuse.

All WATERTALKS activity is signified by the inclusion of a simple water glass image in order to verify its authenticity.

mania; mau costume; excentricidade; esquisitice; extravagância; desejo imoderado, excessivo.

As cinco:

1. pastilhas elásticas sem açucar - mastigar sem parar ate me doer o estomago e depois, mastigar um pouco mais.
2. adormecer apenas com as orelhas cobertas - faça frio, faça calor, elas têm é que estar tapadas.
3. ouvir um belo podcast - no matter what, who, when, or why.
4. autocolantes - descolar toda e qualquer vítima, a cola das amostras nas revistas é a mais apreciada para o efeito
5. parafernália de papelarias (inclui supermercados e secção de escritório) - tiram-me as papelarias, tiram-me o mundo!

* Vamos lá admitir que não foi uma lista muito estudada, mas foi um óptimo escape à dissertacao perdida que ando a tentar encontrar.

Hope you others enjoy it,

"Cada bloguista participante tem de enunciar cinco manias suas, hábitos muito pessoais que os diferenciem do comum dos mortais. E além de dar ao público conhecimento dessas particularidades, tem de escolher cinco outros bloguistas para entrarem, igualmente, no jogo, não se esquecendo de deixar nos respectivos blogues aviso do "recrutamento". Ademais, cada participante deve reproduzir este "regulamento" no seu blogue."

Want to feel it like home



I keep sneaking inside
Trying to grab the smell
From the house with warm lights,
With the warm color walls.

I know I want it

I know I want to sit
In the unknown garden.
Sit in the unknown room
With the unknown family.

Feeling unlike a strange.
Feeling it like home.

questions1

So...
When answering the question about my degree,
does the amazed expression means:

"I have no f****** clue of what are you talking about so let me embrace a silent wow"
or
"I really admire graphic designers and wish I could become one"

Something tells me it is not the second one.

conceptual bullshit


O segundo termo de uma razão


Se nunca és visitado
e por consequente ninguém te fala,
retomas à época de egoísmo nato.
Decides-te a estar
sem as gentes,
e sem das gentes ouvir falar.

Convences-te que viver por baixo do sofá
foi porque sempre assim o quiseste.

porque nunca vens um qualquer?

eu gostava de falar da vida contigo.
ou contigo da vida.

fora de tempo



intendo antes escrever
que pensar
que criar ou elaborar
tamanhas complicacoes
como explicar a agua
as rochas
e a vida

sobre imaturas razoes

perdidos membros
segue comandante
cego louco
de juizo nenhum

infiel de amanhã
corre conhecido
a essa vontade,
majestade sua

sente-se capitao
da falta sentida
lacinante
fugitiva da razao

e em ja nada lhe interessa
pensar eterno
ou existir no tempo
de terras longe de si

não sabe
de quem é o barco

também nunca quis saber

regaining old colors

fumo de fogo




se transformei fogo
ou fumo de fogo
se em ser sinto flor
ou sinto cheiro a flor

nao sei

se almejo infindo azul
ou findo azul em cor
se o globo em rota
ou sei de nada

nada sei

nunca antes perdi o saber
d'onde correriam meus pes
ou o entendimento de saber
ou as pegadas dos pes

how're you doin today mike?

I am wiling to make the portrait of a street.
To know who lives where, who dreams what,
who says so.
What makes a place, a place we know
and the active parts of it.

I believe I reached a faithful interpretation of my research
through my final output (the main illustration)

The comfort and discomfort I feel
what I love and what I don't
all the mistakes and misspellings,
of Stroud Green Road.

can you see relation-inspiration in hitchcock?

(...)
Other analysis centers on the relationship between Jeff and the other side of the apartment block, seeing it as a symbolic relationship between spectator and screen. Film theorist Mary Ann Doane has made the argument that Jeff, representing the audience, becomes obsessed with the screen, where a collection of storylines are played out. This line of analysis has often followed a feminist approach to interpreting the film. It is Doane who, using Freudian analysis to claim women spectators of a film become 'masculinized', pays close attention to Jeff's rather passive attitude to romance with the elegant Lisa, that is, until she crosses over from the spectator side to the screen, seeking out the wedding ring of Thorwald's murdered wife. It is only then that Jeff shows real passion for Lisa.
Further analysis into Jefferies character could also be interpreted as somewhat of a voyeur. Because of Jeff's sexual frustration with Lisa, he may look to other sources to fulfill his sexual need.

many many years ago - part I



The rules are clear. For a good group work don't sneak over other realities.
Concentrated in neutralizing yourself you will stay out from the nothing out there. The twelfth parallel before the present one and with one grade distance, is to be IGNORED.
Lets talk about parallelism gentlemen!
An animal that lives without any neutralized parasites - besides all, any and no obstacles - doesn't know about feelings.

(...)
I tried to expose with these two words (neutralism and parallelism)a way to present myself to my objectives, without the pressure of the unknown and the anxiety of what I know already. Dealing with the fact that we're not all prophets.

(...)
I will put together all the sketches and create one only. With all the immaturity, the insensibility and the mannerisms of my racional side, usual of someone who's not sensational.

many many years ago - part II



- P. Álvaro


- In the meanwhile I told him that I would kill you...did you believe it?
- Life is a bitch, and you're so rotten!
- Write down what I promise.
- Talking...
- Really Pedro.
- You don't get tired of repeating my name.
- It's a constant compulsion.
- Lying?
- Sure.
- Mister...?
- Shut the fuck up.
- ...
- Please, stay.

After all you don't need to feel totally ripped of,
he's as much as you are (maybe more).

- And I didn't have my camera, do you see you stupid?!
