[sinner]

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I'll take it by your side.
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide.
I'll take it by your side.
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies.
I'll take it by your side.
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide.
I'll take it by your side.

tick - tock, tick - tock, tick - tock
tick - tick - tick - tick - tick – tock

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
Your slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all

I...

Take the plan, spin it sideways.

I...

Fall.

Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.

Take the plan, spin it sideways.

Without you, I'm nothing at all.

"Fragile

Like a baby in your arms Be gentle with me I'd never willingly

Do you harm Apologies

Are all you seem to get from me

But just like a child You make me smile When you care for me

And you know...

It's a question of lust

It's a question of trust

It's a question of not letting What we've built up Crumble to dust

It is all of these things and more That keep up together Independence Is still important for us though (we realise) It's easy to make The stupid mistake Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses You know each and every one (it frightens me) But I need to drink More than you seem to think Before I'm anyone's And you know... It's a question of

lust

It's a question of trust

It's a question of not letting

What we've built up

Crumble to dust

It is all of these things and more That keep up together

Kiss me goodbye When I'm on my own But you know that I'd Rather be home..."

[the little space]

Celine: I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.

apeteceu-me deixar ficar a tocar baixinho:

[a pergunta do Tiago]

a dúvida persiste há anos, a inquietação voltou a instalar-se há meses. o que fazer? trabalhar, trabalhar muito, ocupar a cadência das horas, empurrando a questão "lá para a frente"... e contudo, todas as tentativas de distracção me precipitam para ela.

fim de tarde, torre central da f.c.s.h, 2º andar, sala 6, primeira sessão do curso - leitura do texto “A pergunta do Tiago” de Ann Margaret Sharp:

[Excerto do texto traduzido pela profª Dina Mendonça

«(...) Olho para o professor João que me pergunta,

“Tiago, ouviste alguma coisa da história que eu contei?”
“Não. Estava a pensar na professora Marta”.
“Mas eu já te disse que ela está bem, só que está a tomar conta do bebé dela”.
“Porque é que as pessoas têm bebés?” pergunto-lhe.
“Isso é uma pergunta muito interessante Tiago...” começa a dizer o professor João. (...)»]

Exercício: que perguntas nos suscita o texto. Uma única, a do Tiago.

hoje venho apenas dizer o quanto VOS QUERO BEM ;)

"Tudo o que vi, estou a partilhar contigo.

O que não vivi, hei-de inventar contigo".

a black version of Google?!

saving energy and being more environmentally friendly :)

«How is Blackle saving energy?
Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002
In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.
We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.

How can you help?
We encourage you to set Blackle as your home page. This way every time you load your Internet browser you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to save energy each time you see the Blackle page load.
Help us spread the word about Blackle by telling your friends and family to set it as their home page. If you have a blog then give us a mention. Or put the following text in your email signature: "Blackle.com - Saving energy one search at a time".
There are a lot of great web sites about saving energy and being more environmentally friendly. They are full of great tips covering the little things that we can all do to make a difference today. Try Blackling "energy saving tips" or visit treehugger.com a great blog dedicated to environmental awareness.»

Outside

The circus gathering

Moved silently along the rainswept boulevard.

The procession moved on the shouting is over.

The fabulous freaks are leaving town.

They are driven by a strange desire

Unseen by the human eye.

The carinval is over.

um exagero...

da maior demonstração de carinho à mais pequena desatenção.

da maior à menor expectativa.

tudo em mim, assiduamente, se torna exageradamente exagerado.
