"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Elogio della follia

Mamma mia nevica a pacchi… (qui a Milano… mi immagino quanta ne stia venendo giù da Brian)… e io mi chiedo e mi domando… ma chi ce lo fa fare di andare giù a Roma? Ci metteremo otto ore, come minimo, il treno si fermerà in mezzo al nulla stile Poirot e, dimenticati da tutti, moriremo assiderati. A Roma quelli dell’associazione ci aspetteranno invano per ore ed infine si rassegneranno a fare lo spettacolo senza di noi, maledicendoci. Gli archeologi ritroveranno il nostro treno tra qualche millennio ed esporranno le nostre mummie in una camera termica come Oetzi. E diventeremo famosi. Il che non è poi così male, ma non è neanche il massimo delle mie aspirazioni.
Insomma, se non ci rivedremo più colgo l’occasione per avvolgervi tutti in un ultimo caldo (?) abbraccio.

Marjorie Bowen — Dark Ann

NOTHING could have been more neutral, more dull; the scene was the lecture hall of one of our most learned societies, as austere and grim a place as the cold mind and lifeless taste of Science could conceive, or anyhow did conceive and execute in

    Mica tanto… mi sono presa una serie infinita ed innominabile di infezioni e/o infiammazioni (la più simpatica è una tonsillite). Un po’ perché devo aver preso freddo nella trasferta romana e un po’ perché ho somatizzato troppo la scenata isterica di una cretina la quale, dopo che io mi sono fatta il proverbiale cuore a mandolino per organizzare al meglio una mostra con anche i suoi disegni, sostiene io la boicotti. Scema io che ci sono stata male. E oggi ho anche mancato un esame in università cui tenevo tantissimo. .
