"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."

Maledetti conigliacci schifosi 2 (the inevitable return of)

Sì, lo so, ho una vagonata di messaggi privati, sms, telefoate, e-mail, commenti, telegrammi, lettere e messaggi psichici cui rispondere. Sono incasinatissima con il lavoro: statemi su di dosso e prima o poi rispondo a tutti, giuro.

E però non potevo non parlare di questo. Ora il conigliolo penserà che ce l’ho su con lui e la sua stirpe, ma garantisco che non è così. Io adoro i conigli. Davvero. E non solo in pentola con le olive. Per dimostrarvelo, ecco un omaggio a tre conigli che adoro:

Non è il coniglio, quindi, la belva.
Tutt’altro.
La belva è l’uomo.
Quando inventa cose di questo tipo.

Benvenuti nel futuro: tremate. Il Nabaztag, o coniglio dal nome impronunciabile, parla, si muove, fa thai-chi, vi legge le notizie, vi rimprovera se fate tardi e si complimenta se vi alzate in orario, vi ricorda di bagnare le piante, intrattiene gli amici in vostra assenza, danza a tempo di musica, vi saluta quando tornate a casa e, sospetto, muove le orecchie come un vibratore di ultima generazione rispondendo a comandi vocali.

Il nuovo millennio è qui.
E ha lunghe orecchie.

Bulgakov’s The Fatal Eggs

Mikhail Bulgakov (Kyiv, 1891–1940) was a novelist, playwright, and former physician, whom I’m sure you know for The Master and Margarita, published posthumously. His work blends sharp satire, fantasy, grotesque comedy, and moral seriousness, often targeting Soviet bureaucracy and ideological hypocrisy, but I had no

    Anch’io lo adoro (il libro). Quanto al coniglio… beh, attendo l’opinione di Conigliolo in merito ma a me continua a inquietare.

    Hey, anch’io ho letto la collina dei conigli, ed anche a me era sembrata un’ottima stroria molto ben raccontata…

    Devo assolutamente vedere TUTTI i film (e non solo) di Wallace and Gromit!
