...

i get world sick everytime i take a stand.

Epá.. isto é tão bom tão tão mas tão bom que só me apetece morrer já aqui.
Ou no próximo dia 22, no Flex. (O devendra que me desculpe.)

and i can't help thinking we grew up too fast.

This spirit is holding us down,
Push our shoulders in deep.
Pulling us to the light,
Toasted our backs in the sun.
(...)
But now our days are set straight,
We're seeing it all eye to eye.
The balance is still chasing after,
Just hanging on as you walk by.
(...)
This world is only getting smaller,
The choices aren't ours to be made.
I'm into wasting my days,
I feel like wasting my days.

And I see what's coming on,
And I can't say it will all be fine.
And I can't help thinking we grew up too fast,
No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast
And I know, I know, I know this won't last, a second longer than it has.

the pigeon project.

The Brooklyn Pigeon Project is an experiment in developing a satellite that records the city as seen by a flock of birds. Working with seasoned bird flyers, trained pigeons that fly in regular spiral patterns over Brooklyn are equipped with wireless video and microphones. Their flight paths capture unconventional portraits both of the city below and of flock motions. This unique way to see Brooklyn contrasts directly with the way the city is increasingly recorded and represented today. The advent of GIS and the rise of network protocols have placed virtually all urban imaging and remote sensing systems “on the grid.” Using a flock of birds as one component of an imaging apparatus, this project confronts the limits of this grid by creating an equally rich disclosure of the city: seeing the city as a flock does.

Whether or not you're turned from it...

Obrigada, mariana. Pelo ar fresco. Em todos os sentidos.

o mundo é algo irónico.

Há umas semanas, pedi à mariana a fórmula pessoal secreta - espécie de "emotional support"-versão-receita-caseira - para usar em meu benefício. Não resultou. Depois do algo traumático insucesso, e a receio de algum prestígio um tanto danificado, ela pôs-se a caminho para me fazer a demonstração.

Willkommen.

vamos à profundeza do meu ser no dia 22 de junho.

Dois amores, daqueles para a eternidade, oferecidos assim, na mesma noite, de mão beijada. No momento, obrigo-me a repensar todo o sentido de uma vida. A minha capacidade de decisão nunca foi algo de que me possa orgulhar.
