"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.

Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a Russian physician, short-story writer and playwright, and I’m not particularly fond of him, though he’s widely regarded as one of the greatest masters of modern short fiction and who am I to argue? His work is celebrated for its psychological

Beauty and Ugliness: an exhibition

A few pictures from the recently closed exhibition on Beauty and Ugliness as an aesthetic paradigma in which what’s ideal and what’s grotesque melt together as sides of the same coin. The exhibition featured works by Brueghel (lent from the other exhibition at Palazzo Reale),

    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!
