God help the girl

A lovely little song, putting me in a cheerful mood, though thinking sheepishly about good times, wants.

“I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
I’ll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge
I’ll play his messages
Analyze his intonation
Please stop me there, I’m even boring myself

I think of him when I’m doing the dishes
I think of him while looking in the sink
This ain’t no play on words
My love for him is absurd
If he gave me a sign I’d think about it for a week
I’d build it up and then I’d turn him down”

Deezer is a french initiative of a website with free onlise music streaming. The best thing of all is that most artists are new rising stars, there are online radios you can choose from and top hits from various countries. Check it out! Last.fm is so 2008! (especially because I cannot use Last/fm anymore – I’ve listened to it too much and now they ask me to pay for an account :(

So enjoy Deezer! It’s a refreshing experience!

..this is similar to my plan last year of simplifying my life. Only this time it is more focused on goals. The past week has been hecticly-mindful for me, almost like a bowl of cherries getting full. Though instead of the cherries there was a mixture of dreams, goals, to-do list, expectations, others’ wishes etc. So how does one person manage all those things in the bowl?

Getting rid of the clutter requires clarity of mind. Having spotted the superfluous makes the important come up to the surface. In turn this would determine motivation.

The things I need to be more aware of:

- healthy food keeps the mind sharp

- little things in life are free

- need more running

- focus on one goal at a time

Jilted

Jilted – a poem by Sylvia Plath

My thoughts are crabbed and sallow,

My tears like vinegar,

Or the bitter blinking yellow

Of an acetic star.

Tonight the caustic wind, love,

Gossips late and soon,

And I wear the wry-faced pucker of

The sour lemon moon.

While like an early summer plum,

Puny, green and tart,

Droops upon its wizened stem,

My lean, unrippened heart.

The 31th edition of Copenhagen Jazz Festival takes place from July 3-12 and it’s the biggest music event in Copenhagen during the summer. It’s the first time I’m here during the month of July and I must say, it’s the most wonderful month in Copenhagen. There have been lots of sunny days and the city has been humming with jazz and tourists eating ice-cream.

This is a photo taken at the harbor, in Nyhavn. I applied some effects, to give a special mood. Make sure you get to at least one of the concerts during this festival! Choose one HERE.

Girls’ night

Cozy dinner, girl talks, martini in the morning radio tunes, playing cards and more girl talks. We also watched a movie (4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days) and planned an artistic time the following day. What weekend to start! :)

..with Romanian food and jazzy tunes :)

“And so I hold on to his advice
When change is hard and not so nice
You listen to your heart the whole night through
Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you”

Pink Martini – Hang on little tomato

Hang on. Change will happen.

“Things don’t always look as they seem. Some stars, for example, look like bright pinholes, but when you get them pegged under a microscope you find you’re looking at a globular cluster – a million stars that to us, presents as a single entity. On a less dramatic note there are triplets, like Alpha Centauri, which up close turns out to be a double star and a red dwarf in close proximity”. My sister’s keeper – Jodi Picoult

My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s true and often encountered. Things aren’t always as they seem to be. They don’t even look like we might imagine them in the first place, first glance. Some events even are not to be judged unless the reasons behind them are known. However, people do hurry, people do like to make decisions and draw observations hastily. Time is scarce, love is blind.

I’ve been reading this book and found myself struggling to imagine myself in one of the character’s shoes. Unless you read the book, you cannot imagine the complexity of the plot and moral issues. It makes you stop and think, even wonder. Yet things do happen like that too, because the world is not perfect. Captivating, sad, enthralling, deliberately disturbing at times, decisions, decisions and what ifs.

Crocodile soup

“The theatrical nature of our lives was enhanced by a mysterious line of people that drifted past the front door, looking vaguely confused, watching our house as if it was under glass.” Crocodile Soup – Julia Darling

I love b&w movies! I don’t know if it’s the sound, the clean unembellished style, the scrips or the atmosphere. Must be the mix of them all :) And to share my new finding, please watch below.

A montage of old commercials, documentaries, and educational industrial training films, all centered on two of America’s most potent vices: caffeine and nicotine. Assembled by Michael Carmody and debuted Friday, February 29, 2008 at Fisch Haus in Wichita, Kansas.

Perhaps it’s there somewhere, hidden among my boxes or in one of the millions of bags I cannot carry. Or rather is with the people, carried away to lands I miss. Or who would rather tell me the exact place? Of course, I’m not even talking about hair and princesses. That was just the photo that triggered my thread of thoughts.

Have you had this feeling that you’re stuck in a rut, not moving, not feeling the breeze, not feeling any development whatsoever? What does one do in such moments? Especially when the moments get long, longer… and then the person gets longer as well, whilst unable to find the answer.

Of course! why look for an answer in the first place?! Follow the wave, no!..better ride the wave! Plunge and dive, but make sure you stay afloat and do those tricks as well.

Back to my moments of magic-less wandering now… what do I do?

Feeling like in a time warp? Not knowing when to be early or late? Sleeping in or waking up at dawn? You must surely have the clock syndrome: your watches have run out of batteries! Time for action and interaction, forget about hours and other agendas. People matter. Networking does NOT need time restrictions…

…… or does it?
