| 10:19 pm | You say you love; but with a voice Chaster than a nun's, who singeth The soft Vespers to herself While the chime-bell ringeth - O love me truly! You say you love; but with a smile Cold as sunrise in September, As you were Saint Cupid's nun, And kept his weeks of Ember. O love me truly! You say you love - but then your lips Coral tinted teach no blisses. More than coral in the sea - They never pout for kisses - O love me truly! You say you love; but then your hand No soft squeeze for squeeze returneth, It is like a statue's dead - While mine to passion burneth - O love me truly! O breathe a word or two of fire! Smile, as if those words should burn be, Squeeze as lovers should - O kiss And in thy heart inurn me! O love me truly! Current Mood: spring 2010 |

| 7:20 pm | À vous toutes que l’on aima et que l’on aime icône à l’abri dans la grotte de l’âme comme une coupe de vin à la table d’un festin je lève mon crâne rempli de poèmes Souvent je me dis et si je mettais le point d’une balle à ma propre fin Aujourd’hui à tout hasard je donne mon concert d’adieu Mémoire ! Rassemble dans la salle du cerveau les rangs innombrables des biens-aimées verse le rire d’yeux en yeux que de noces passées la nuit se pare de corps et corps versez la joie que nul ne puisse oublier cette nuit Aujourd’hui je jouerai de la flûte sur ma propre colonne vertébrale... V Majakowski 1915, extrait de “La flûte des vertèbres” |

| 8:17 pm | Trip to Berlin 21-28 oct. and Warszawa 28-29. Döner. Omarito! kitchen talk every day before sleep, with Southern Comfort, Balzam and Diesel. Saturn, a new/old Tuxedomoon album with CD and DVD. Dussman: a Kurdish Sprachführer and a new novel. Heilerde. Duncker, and yes I can dance, and I did. Flohmarkt too crowded to be enjoyed. Indian restaurant (okay, Maharadscha ist no real original name...) with plenty of food, a hot vindaloo. Xtrax. Apotheke (Bullrich). Comicstore Grober Unfug (55 € more comics). Asia Laden – hot Korean noodles, Indian and Korean and Japanese all kinda food for 50 €. A’ Màgica, superb, gorgeous, delicious ai formaggi pizza with Omar and Ieva’s parents. Turkish market. Martial Arts store: bought a knuckled kubotan and 2 rattan sticks. A belt too. We discovered that Sudanese shawarma with haloumi and makali and peanut butter sauce is one of the tastiest things on earth. Balzac – like one year ago – before the Throwing Muses’ gig. So great! T-shirt and 2 Anthology USB sticks. Talked to Kristin, which I did not when I saw her in 1991-1992 at yet another Thowing Muses’ concert (also in Berlin! is it destiny?) nor at her solo gig in Barcelona in 2000 (or so). Reminds me of younger earlier times, when I talked to Beate Bartel (and she sent me postcards afterwards), Kim Deal, the Noir Désir drummer (who proposed for eel (now ScalinE) to play as the support band for their next concert), Nina Gordon (Veruca Salt) (who then spoke French with me and invited me to have a drink), Steven Brown (whom I gave a tape of Quelque Chose de Bleu, my first music project) and Chan Marshall (whom I gave a tape of eel, and wouldn’t look me in the eyes hiding behind her hair – as she then was used to do). Memorable. KaDeWe (they do have Mountain Dew in Berlin, and Dr Pepper). Saturn again. KFC (no such thing in Riga!). Ullrich. Ate a stomach soup for the very first time at a Turkish restaurant – well, not sure I’ll try again, but it was worth it nevertheless. A new diary at Dussman. Three more comics. No Pergamon (too expensive). Persian restaurant Roya with the parents – maybe not as tasty as Indian food (question of taste of course) but interesting since it was a first time, plus I got to say a couple of sentences in Persian to the waiter, who replied in Persian once too. Plus the restaurant is decorated by a Farvahar, like on my left inner arm. Italian restaurant in Warsaw: I did miss you, spaghetti... Rarely slept as well as in that (a little bit hard to find and isolate) hostel. My first visit of Warsaw, a much more modern city (not a *town*!) offering a lot more, culturally and culinarily, than Riga (bet kā savādāk?). It does motivate me to restart learning Polish this year, and – maybe? – to move there next summer. Bought two more language learning books with CDs, and four Polish movies. Polski bus Berlin-Warszawa was so great a trip compared to the tiring Warszawa-Riga........ Back in Riga, uploaded some of the pictures, organised all the newly bought stuff in the cupboards, and this means back to TV shows and translations too, as well as language learning, now with Polish added (again) to Persian – any time left for Zazaki? And no good gigs till the next trip. Current Music: Marquis de Sade, Eyeless in Gaza, Tanit, Tuxedomoon |

| 7:18 pm | And yes I believe in what we had But words got in the way And only yesterday As I was leaving Lord knows I've tried to say but I've Heard a million conversations Going where they've been before Seen the way that careful lingers Undecided at the door CHORUS And all I know for sure All I know for real Is knowing doesn't mean so much When placed against the feeling The heat inside When bodies meet When fingers touch All of my words are secondhand and Useless in the face of this Rationale and rhyme and reason Pale beside a single kiss And I've heard so many things I Fail to understand at all I'd settle anytime for Unknown footsteps in the hall outside Because the world is cruel and Promises are broken Don't try to tell me Anything don't try to tell me You'll be true to me you know the Real truth is never spoken And I know the world is cold but If you hold on tight to what you Find you might not mind too much though Even this must pass away and Memories may last for years but Names are just for souvenirs Some kind of angel let me Look into your eyes Don't give me whys and wherefores Reason or surprise I don't care for words that don't belong And I don't care what you're called Tell me later if at all I can wait a long long time Before I hear another love song Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful beautiful Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside Current Mood: Some Kind of Stranger Current Music: The Sisters of Mercy |
| 6:33 pm | You say stay and never leave You say meant for ever I could believe you, but I don't You say we're almost all alone together All alone You say You say you will I know you won't CHORUS I was wrong I was wrong to ever doubt I can get along without I can love my fellow man But I'm damned if I'll love yours In a bar that's always closing In a world where people shout I don't wanna talk this over I don't wanna talk it out I was quite impressed until I hit the floor Isn't that what friends are for? Pain looks great on other people That's what they're for Current Mood: I was wrong Current Music: The Sisters of Mercy |
