GOOD FOR THE LUNGS

My physiotherapist told me that laughing is good for my lungs (doing some exercises for my lungs at the hospital made me laugh....don’t ask me why). So...why not trying out some comedies?? Comedies should be prescript, together with apples (by the way, why on earth didn’t they give me ANY apple with meals during my 6-day long stay at the hospital????)...an apple a day keeps the doctor away, is said. Anyway. Once at home (still sort of imprisoned for 2 weeks, wearing a mask and not able to go out) I discovered some tv series, among which there were some good comedies. The great discoveries were a couple of sitcoms: The IT crowd (British) and then The Big Bang Theory (American). How great are the characters of Moss (IT crowd) and Sheldon (Big Bang Theory)!...in fact they’re pretty similar...but one deals with computers and the other one with theoretic physics....WAH...how many memorable quotes and situations!!!. Moss-sheldonian formulae for the lungs...a good remedy after the sitcom The Nanny (old one, with Fran Drescher) was removed from TV, with its great dubbing into Catalan language (made the series funnier than the original version, I’d say)

After the hospital

I had read that the singer named Russian Red got her name from the name of a lipstick. So far it's not strange. Yesterday, doing some shopping in an Aldi supermarket, I had a look at the cosmetics section....to my surprise there was a lipstick+lipliner set named russian red. I got it since i like red lipsticks....

After several days at the hospital and 2 weeks isolated at home (and since then going out just for short walks) I sort of needed colours. There's some kind of renewal after days at a hospital....Red lipstick, high-heeled shoes (still can't really wear them), fresh air, movement, the trees, parks...Nothing is the same. Brand new lisptick for brand new days...for a brand new time. Colours for the frustration of the hard treatment, for the frustration of the tiredness, for the nauseas and vertigo. Red as inflection point, red as start point, red to highlight steps beginning inside me.

Rifater, myambutol...and red lipstick.

Quin quartet...que en realitat són 13 subjectes (bé, 12 més un que ha adoptat la forma de suspensió xaropística).

Quartet que executa la coreografia de la meva clausura. Almenys des d’aquí ja no veig el cartell electoral (em van treure un anunci d’un cotxe, que almenys no feia q em sentís com observada per un polític que ofereix solucions) que es veia des de la cambra de l’hospital...

Quartet que li canta a la meva pleura i al meu pulmó esquerre.

Qui et va cridar, Quartet, per enviar-te amb mi?

Kirschblüten - 花見

Ich hatte nur den Absicht einen Artikel in einer Zeitung zu finden. Aber da war etwas über diesen Film. Wie letztes Jahr, ein Film kommt und ruf mich. Kurz danach las ich ein bisschen über diesen deutschen Film...ich war bewegt. Der Film hat etwas, der Film hat mir schon zu laut gerufen. Der Film erbreitete sich und meine Augen mit Tränen waren in die Ferne, weit vom PC entfernt. Ich hatte den Film noch nicht gesehen.

Ich habe jetzt schon einen Teil des Filmes gesehen.
Trudi weinte während des Bügeln.
Geschweigend.
Blumen. Bald Blumen.

Zu selten finde ich Filme, die ich wirklich sehen will, die ich sehen muss. Letztes mal war im März 2008 und der Film war Bab 'Aziz.

Enough enthusiasm, hope and need of change so as to produce obamabadges...

One day my father gave me this curious and unexpected badge...He told me about a man giving obamabadges for free. Enthusiasm made me feel lucky to have got one...

Politics are so terribly bad here that a badge, a simple badge creates something illusory...such as thinking that things could change here and have well prepared politicians, good at oratory, professional, mature, civilised (not that childish in their political behaviour), decent, diligent, coherent...

happy lunch

Healthy food, delicious dishes, variety, nice place....a newspaper to have a look at...

2009

A brand new day
a brand new month
....and a brand new year!
I didn't wait to welcome 2009 when it came here....i went to bed as usually but i just interpreted it differently....at 21:30 the new year had arrived to Teheran....so it was as if I had politely greeted the new year and then left.
The beginning of 2009, Spanish time, found me in a deeeeeep, deeeep sleep. I didn't even hear the fireworks nor the enthusiasm of already drunken people.
And now a new day awaits to be enjoyed. A new year to take the most out of time. Life's too short to waste time.

Quasi la la nàusea

Quasi la nàusea arran de totes aquelles paraules farcides de substàncies prescindibles, indesitjables.

Quin és aquest panorama de cotxes oficials customitzats, d’inodors sofisticats, d’idees poc adients en temps en què és preferible l’austeritat, de preferències mal definides (crear ministeris ara per col.locar-hi alguns amics i familiars??)...? i negació de l'evidència força sovint...

Vaig decidir llençar a la paperera uns quants prejudicis (tots són inútils i fan més mal que no pas bé) i vaig acabar expandint la meva mirada i la meva oïda cap a més mitjans de comunicació. Comporta més nàusees però al menys no hi ha només mots desitjats ni descripcions parcials. No vull escoltar només aquells que em puguin dir el que vull escoltar, el que vull llegir. Pel matí, diari “Público” i “El País”, tot dinant, potser una “La Vanguardia” o si en trobo, un “Avui”, al restaurant on vaig sempre....i de tant en tant, “El Mundo” i els diumenges l’”ABC”. Una mica de tot. A les ones, tant Catalunya Informació com la COPE. Fins ara no m'ha passat res. Sí tinc més criteri per criticar certes coses que es puguin dir i puc reflexionar millor amb més plantejaments. No es contagien els plantejaments conservadors ni entra febre...i hi ha continguts que valen la pena a mitjans que mai haguéssim pensat a tenir en compte. Tota la informació és bona si se sap emprar-la.

Sort que vaig votar partits verds que no van tenir una representació que els fés partíceps de cap vergonya....perquè poca cosa haguessin pogut fer.

Nàusea, com l'altre dia anant en cotxe (com és habitual)...descordinació entre cervell i cos, entre percepció visual de moviment mentre el cos roman quiet dins el vehicle. Nàusea: declaracions i boques que s'omplen de paraules grandiloqüents i promeses per penjar als titulars dels diaris....mentre els fets agafen d'altres direccions. Nàusea.
