| "I was born in 1948, on December tventy-fourth, Christmas Eve. Now Christmas Eve doesn't make a very good birthday. I mean, you don't get sepatare birthday and Christmas presents. Everyone figures they save money that way. My sign is Capricorn and my blood type is A - a perfect combination for bank tellers and civil servants. I'm not supposed to get along well with Sagittarians and Libras and Aquarians. A boring life, dont you think?"
"I'm fascinated." "I grew up in an ordinary little town, went to an ordinary school. I was a quite child, but grew into a bored kid. I met this ordinary girl, had an ordinary first romance. When I was eighteen, I came to Tokyo to go to college. When I got out of college, a friend and I set up a small translation service, and somehow we scraped by. Three years ago, we branched out into P.R. newsletters and advertising-related work, and that's going fairly well. I got involved with one of the women who worked at the firm. We got married four years back and got divorced two month ago. No one reason I can put it all down to. I have an old tomcat for a pet. Smoke fourty cigarettes a day. Can't seem to quit. I own three suits, six neckties, plus a collection of five hundred records that are hopelessly out of style. I've memorized all the murderers' names in every Ellery Queen mystery ever written. I own the complete A la recherche du temps perdus, but have only read half. I drink beer in summer, whiskey in winter." "And two days out of three you eat omlettes and sandwiches in bars, right?" "Uh-huh," I said. (c) H.Murakami - A Wild Sheep Chase Kas man šajā citētajā fragmentā patīk, ir tas vieglums, kādā var izstāstīt visu savu dzīvi. Nu, un te arī varētu sekot novēlējums jaunajam gadam (vismaz sev, ja ne Tev) - lai viegli dzīvojas! :) | |||||
