Portokalos

I know that you say: I get mean when I'm drinking, but
Then again sometimes I get really sweet, so, what does it mean?
If I tell you to go fuck yourself or if I say that you're beautiful to me

It's affection, always
You're gonna see it someday
My attention for you
Even if it's not what you need

Sometimes we talk all night long, we don't shut up
And when it's late, we'll say: we're still wide awake so...
We love to talk about how you'll come up to visit me and we'll rent a car, and we'll drive upstate

It's affection, always
You're gonna see it someday
My attention's on you
Even if it's not what you need

I think of you, I want you too
I'd fall for you

It's affection, always

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Era un viernes de abril allá por 1943 y Albert se encontraba trabajando en su laboratorio cuando, de repente, la conoció. 

Un ligero roce con su mano fue suficiente para quedarse prendado de ella, pero fue un beso muy medido el que le enganchó por completo. Se llamaba Lucie, y desde ese momento no paró de pensar en ella. Primero se sintió mareado, ¿serían mariposas en el estómago? No podía seguir trabajando, así que cogió su bicicleta y se marchó a casa. Allí siguió inquieto, no podía quitársela de la cabeza. Se le nubló la vista y empezó a imaginar mundos maravillosos de colores en los que Lucie le acompañaba en una bicicleta con diamantes.

Sin embargo, al cabo de dos horas, Albert notó que la euforia fue desapareciendo.

Definitivamente, el LSD que había sintetizado no debía mezclarse con la bici.

Bobby Bob

A worried woman with a worried mind

No one in front of me and nothing behind

There’s a man on my lap and he’s drinking champagne

Got white skin, got assassin’s eyes

I’m looking up into the sapphire-tinted skies

I’m well dressed, waiting on the last train

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose: Any minute now I’m expecting all hell to break loose

People are crazy and times are strange...

This place ain’t doing me any good

I’m in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood

Just for a second there I thought I saw something move

Only a fool in here would think he’s got anything to prove

Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too. Don’t get up gentlemen,I’m only passing through 

I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range...

I’ve been walking 40 miles of bad road

I’ve been trying to get as far away from myself as I can

Some things are too hot to touch

The human mind can only stand so much

You can’t win with a losing hand

Feel like falling in love with the first man I meet, putting him in a wheelbarrow and wheeling him down the street

I used to care, but... things have changed

I hurt easy, and I just show it

You can't hurt someone and not even know it

The next 60 seconds could be like an eternity

Gonna get low down, gonna fly high

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie

I’m in love with a man who doesn’t even appeal to me

I’m not that eager to make a mistake

People are crazy and times are strange

I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range

I used to care, but... things have changed

By a head

Por una cabeza, todas las locuras,

I'd like to tell you a little tale about a little person whose role models were something taken out of a fairy tale.

su boca que besa, borra la tristeza

Subsequently, this little person's views were so slanted, they had lugged for lustrums until they blindfolded their aims and hopes.

calma la amargura

Although they were not so little anymore, the void proved itself ever harder to fill.

Por una cabeza...

And they lived... Ever after.

"After that, it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs".

Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd... but I guess we keep goin' through it because, most of us... need the eggs."

- Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977)

Sirenia

Up on Melancholy Hill there's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day of another dream

Well you can't get what you want, but you can get me
So let's set out to sea

'Cause you are my medicine when you're close to me

If you can't get what you want, then you come with me

Up on Melancholy Hill sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day when you're close to me

Amarcord 2018

Como no podía ser de otra manera, sigo con mi sexta recapitulación de otro año que nos dice adiós.

Porque 2018 ha sido el año en que...

• Firmé un contrato con una empresa muy reconocida que apostó por mí y, a día de hoy, sigo encantada.
• Vi a mi grupo favorito por el precio más barato que los voy a ver nunca, y además sacaron disco nuevo.
• También pude ver a un par de grupos que tenía muchísimas ganas de ver, ambos americanos.
• Fui a dos bodas en dos países europeos en menos de dos meses.
• Planifiqué un viaje al país que más he visitado con tres días de antelación y salió a pedir de Milhouse.
• Me enamoré de nuevo, recuperé la ilusión con alguien que me gusta hasta el infinito y más allá.
• Seguí patinando siempre que pude, y volví a hacer la San Silvestre con mis amigos.
• Por primera vez cumplí el propósito de ver todas las películas nominadas al Oscar en la categoría principal y todas las que pude de otras, y pudiendo decir con conocimiento de causa que otra película con tintes de comedia negra se merecía a mi parecer el mayor galardón (así como el de actor secundario, el cual sí consiguió).
• Vi una película en apariencia simple y con no más efectos especiales que un disfraz de fantasma hecho con una sábana, evidenciando que no hace falta grandes extravagancias si el guion y las actuaciones son buenas.
• Regresé a ese peculiar pueblecito de Washington, y me encantó (conociendo de paso a un grupo que le canta a los ajolotes y quedándome prendada de ellos).
• También ha sido el año en el que se fraguaron en mi cabecica dos cambios muy significativos que tendrán repercusión este presente 2019 directamente en mi salud.

Veamos cómo se da este año.

Pathos, everywhere

That unreachable look

Only... Who can tell me apart

All the way from where we came, built a mansion in a day
Distant lightning, thunder claps, watched our neighbor's house collapse
Looked the other way... And... then the storm was overhead
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
We auctioned off our memories in the absence of a breeze

Scatter what remains, scatter what remains!

Pushed away, I'm pulled toward a comedown of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored, drifting in from distant shores
The wind presents a change of course, a second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for a comedown of revolving doors

Fate don't fail me now

And when the days that followed past in another mansion built to last
From our window we could see only possibilities down the road and back
But, then the storm returned for more in a comedown of revolving doors
Auctioned off our memories in the absence of a breeze

Scatter what remains, scatter what remains!

Pushed away, I'm pulled toward a comedown of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored drifting in from distant shores
The wind presents a change of course, a second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for a comedown of revolving doors

Fate don't fail me now.
