"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."

Il ritorno degli dei egizi (sul divano)

Se avessi un cliente da cui piazzare una grande seduta in forma libera, cosa che non è, al momento sicuramente consiglierei la nuova Bendy Bay che il designer belga Danny Venlet ha disegnato per la linea Outdoor di Viteo.
Perché la consiglierei? Beh, innanzitutto è modulare. E a noi le cose modulari piacciono. Secondariamente è in plastica, e a noi le cose in plastica piacciono. Terzo, è comoda. E a noi le cose comode piacciono moltissimo. Ma soprattutto, il loro pubblicitario è completamente pazzo. E a noi i pazzi ecc. ecc. Testimonial della serie infatti sono novelli dei egizi con la testa di orso, di coniglio, d’aquila, di cervo. Inquietante da morire, piacerebbe a Bilal. Ma anche ad Elderion (vedere per credere).
Se qualcuno avesse voglia di andarsi a vedere il divano, c’è a Milano nel retailer Ecliss Top Garden in Ripa di Porta Ticinese al 73. Ma senza uomo con la testa d’aquila. Spero.

Alix Harrow’s The Once and Future Witches

I wouldn’t have started this book on my own, and for many reasons. One of them is that in Italy it’s marketed as Young Adult Fiction, and I hate most of that stuff, and the other is its imposing length: 600 pages. I was distracted,

    scusate l’OT necessario

    purtroppo ieri sera 9-6-2008 il creatore del blog maria strofa carlo berselli di carpi (mo) è morto improvvisamente a 54 anni.

    un grande dolore acuto per chi lo conosceva e lo apprezzava, anche col suo carattere spigoloso.

    Sono letteralmente costernata dalla notizia: grazie per essere passato di qui ad avvertirmi. Si è spento un vero genio, un acuto ed instancabile sperimentatore sia della letteratura che del web. Un altro di quei grandi personaggi che mi troverò a rimpiangere di non aver conosciuto abbastanza.
