Fragile tension

Yesterday something happened.

A huge, majestic rainbow topped the whole city for what seemed like ages when I got back from work.

Dave Gahan whispered in my ears words about a fragile tension we do not understand and which may not last forever. There was something mystical around, indeed. And it kept us going.

People stopped and looked up amazed, they called each others telling their loved ones to take a glance for a moment. A strange obsession drawing us nearer.

And when everything could not be any more wondrous, suddenly crystal-clear drops started to fall down in spite of the warm, sunset-y light.

Y no es casualidad que ayer leyera algo sobre la felicidad de que acaben los días, porque al menos no se volverá a repetir la jornada presente. Como si estos pequeños momentos no le dieran a una la vida. La ciudad entera se paralizó por unos instantes por algo especial. Y de pronto, un martes anodino ya no lo fue tanto.

Nevertheless, it can always get wrong in the end. One can never know...

Exactly like you

"You know what, Bobby? Life is simple as hell until you bring on a partner."

- "Maniac" s01e05 (C. J. Fukunaga, 2018)

When, notwithstanding, actors that you would have never bet a dime for flabbergast you in ways you would have never expected. Foremost, everything is surrounded by a bedazzling cinematography and an orchestrated faux-retro futurism... Who could ask for more?

Sub(urban) Pleasures

Letting Nilsson, Iggy, Lou and the Davies brothers serenade you on your way home on a chilly night, in spite of the incipient migraine, adds a little spark to an otherwise rather unremarkable Wednesday.
