silêncio de fim de domingo, de gente cochilando um pouco, a escuridão chegando e deixando o céu com tons pastéis que vão ficando mais e mais escuros... minhas férias estão acabando. a casa está em paz, algumas crianças gritam no prédio dos fundos, mas não aquela gritaria desesperada e enervante que costuma ocorrer, é mais suave. as luzes estão quase todas apagadas e ando me batendo um pouco. a cidade parece adormecida. tudo calmo.
menos eu.
menos eu, que dei um passo e agora fico ansiosa pela repercussão. agora, eu queria desesperadamente alguém pra conversar... só pro tempo correr mais rápido e mais fluido, porque estou aqui trocando de páginas na internet, às vezes ouvindo uma música, e esperando muito que algo aconteça – chegando às raias do insuportável. estou me sentindo em alerta, e nem sei por que e pra que, com certeza. ontem ou anteontem, quando fui dormir, veio uma imagem na minha mente de uma gota d’água que está pra cair. ela fica ali, esticando, estendendo, até que uma hora cai. e eu estava (e estou) me sentindo assim, na iminência de cair.
eu comecei a puxar uns papos sem sentido no msn, pra puramente jogar conversa fora mesmo, mas de repente todo mundo com quem eu poderia fazer isso sumiu. sobraram aquelas pessoas que você nem sabe direito de onde saíram e que costumam fazer o jogo do “ignorando-se mutuamente” com você – sempre com sucesso. deletei essas pessoas com um pouco de ódio (ps-estou digitando no word, que não conhece a palavra “deletei”, não aceita essa absorção de expressões do inglês na língua portuguesa, além de, chocantemente, não conhecer a palavra word, assim, com minúscula... fim da digressão).
nesse ano, logo no início do primeiro semestre (lá pra março, abril), eu fiquei tipo algumas semanas me sentindo assim, como se algo fosse acontecer, que era só relaxar e parar de pensar que ia acontecer, um algo que eu nem sei o que é, se é bom ou ruim. é uma sensação estranha, como um fio esticando, e eu me lembro de andar conversando e sentindo isso e parecia que nada mais tinha sentido – as conversas, as atividades, as pessoas, porque o fio ia esticar e partir, eventualmente.
agora meu pai veio pra cozinha, está fazendo café e ouvindo o jogo do vitória, e pelo menos parece que tem mais alguém vivo no mundo. e eu adoro esse cheirinho de café.
continuo me sentindo ansiosa, sem razão, e um pouco deprimida de pensar na volta às aulas amanhã.
mas é aquilo, faça a coisa certa.

post longo sem muito sentido
dormir de tarde já é algo de praxe pra mim. nem lembro quando comecei... tento pensar no colegial, já dormia de tarde... no ginásio também... o pior é que eu não consigo tirar cochilos. lembro de uma colega minha, marina, que dizia que dormia 15 minutos antes de estudar, depois do almoço. 15 minutos! parece piada (e de mau gosto, quando lembro do livro homônimo e de quão irrisório é esse tempo). isso nunca serviu pra mim, primeiro porque demoro MUITO tempo pra pegar no sono, mesmo quando cansada, e 15 minutos eu ficaria me revirando na cama de olhos fechados (às vezes é bom). eu durmo a tarde toda, das 2 às 5, e fico um pouco mole quando acordo. isso me lembra uma pesquisa que acho que vi na trip, falando sobre como não se deve dormir muito de tarde, porque pra voltar à atividade e "se ligar" demora muito. é verdade mesmo, mas o sono é pra desligar, não pra por em stand by... não conheço cochilos voluntários. às vezes, evidentemente, pego no sono no meio de algo e cochilo, mas só assim mesmo.
nem sei mais qual foi o começo disso aqui...estou em um momento de transição de leituras... é decisivo... fico perdida entre muitos livros, esperando algum engatar. estava lendo "vestígios do dia" , de kazuo ishiguro, e foi numa toada só... aí um dia parei. não pensava mais no livro tanto, carregava pra lá e pra cá e não lia uma página... daí me apeguei nas cartas de novo, mas é algo de leitura não-contínua, e pensei "preciso de algo pra ler mais como um romance e tal". aí tem o livro que peguei na biblioteca aqui, e tinha desistido de ler por conta do prazo, mas não devolvi e não voltei a ler... fome, de knut hamsun. os outros não sei como surgiram na lista direito... trópico de câncer de novo... novo fôlego.... uivo....tomas comentou comigo os poemas de caeiro e pensei em retomá-los... sem contar que ele me emprestou um livro, seda. e ainda tenho o do estúpido pra acabar... e os que tinha comprado na banca, anaÏs nin (to achando meio fraco até agora, espero que melhore) e o de fitzgerald, o inacabado "o último magneto" (muito inferior a "o grande gatsby" e "tender is the night", até o presente momento). e virginia, sempre quero algo dela comigo.
tá demais. no momento, henry miller na dianteira.
e agora vou dormir.
it's done, anyway.

a ressurreição.
eu odeio esse template, acho as letras grandes, a coluna fina, e é claro que não consigo fazer nada a respeito. sou blogueira fracassada de carteirinha. estou pensando em voltar a usar esse blog (eu sempre penso?), mas fico desanimada com esse template. como sou persistente, hã? todas minhas resoluções pró-ativas morrem à deriva. tenho mais uma e vamos ver no que vai dar. acompanhando a copa, com todo ânimo que consigo encontrar.
a seguir: copa do mundo, filmes e séries.

Ingrid Bergman
(letra de Woody Guthrie, cantada por Billy Bragg & Jeff Tweedy)
Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman
Let's go make a picture
On the island of Stromboli
Ingrid Bergman
Ingrid Bergman, you're so perty
You'd make any mountain quiver
You'd make fire fly from the crater
Ingrid Bergman
This old mountain it's been waiting
All its life for you to work it
For your hand to touch its hard rock
Ingrid Bergman
Ingrid Bergman
If you'll walk across my camera,
I will flash the world your story,
I will pay you more than money
Ingrid Bergman
Not by pennies dimes nor quarters
But with happy sons and daughters
And they'll sing around Stromboli
Ingrid Bergman
This old mountain it's been waiting
All its life for you to work it
For your hand to touch its hard rock
Ingrid Bergman

Gilmore Girls, Parte 2
Originally posted: February 11, 2006They're slippin' 'em Paul Anka, dig?
(gostei da brincadeira com os títulos dos episódios).
John Mellencamp, Nora Ephron, Louis Armstrong, the ill-fated Broadway musical “Taboo,” Naomi Campbell, Rowan and Martin, Christopher Isherwood, “Mildred Pierce,” the Queen of England, Kabbalah, “Reno 911” and radioactive spiders.
No, that’s not a compilation of every answer on a recent episode of “Jeopardy!” Those are just some of the pop-culture references in a recent episode of “Gilmore Girls,” specifically the Jan. 31 outing, “Friday Night’s Alright for Fighting” (even the title of the episode refers to Elton John’s similarly named hit).
(é isso que tanto amo na série: cultura pop!!!!)
Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator and executive producer of “Gilmore Girls,” and her husband, Daniel Palladino, who’s also an executive producer on the show, swear that they don’t set out to refer to tons of books, movies, cultural figures and song titles on their 6-year old show. It just sort of happens. “We’d be fine if an entire script went by and there were no references in it,” Sherman-Palladino said in a recent phone call. “It’s never like, `We need a reference here.’”
(é assim mesmo. Isso que faz deles tão especiais).
“It’s a lot of our interests and personalities and opinions that we filter through a lot of these characters, especially Lorelai and Rory [Gilmore],” adds Dan Palladino. “It does reflect who they are; they do consume pop culture. They watch a lot of movies, and they watch TV, and they listen to music. We’ve always tried to make sure that [the references] come out organically, so it doesn’t sound like Dan or Amy voicing an opinion, and I think that generally, we’ve been successful.”
Below, the “Gilmore Girls” brain trust discusses some recent pop-culture homages:
Lorelai now has a dog called Paul Anka, named after the singer. Dan says: “I was writing the first episode that the dog appeared in, and Paul Anka’s record came out at the same time, and I heard it in Starbucks or something. And it sounded good. He actually pulled off singing `Smells Like Teen Spirit.’ It just seemed like … maybe Lorelai would have gone into a coffee place and heard this weird Paul Anka album and would have thought to name her dog Paul Anka. A lot of those decisions we don’t really talk about, they come out in the writing and it makes sense.”
One of the show’s funniest recent homages was to the film “Dig!” -- a rock documentary about the bands Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre. In one of the key scenes in “Dig!,” a fight breaks out among Jonestown band members at L.A.’s Viper Room club, and a similar thing happened with Lane Kim’s band on “Gilmore Girls,” in the Nov. 22 episode “He’s Slippin’ ’Em Bread … Dig?” Dan says: “Amy and I saw [`Dig!’] on DVD when it first came out. The second we saw that Viper Room fight scene, we said, the band [on `Gilmore Girls’] has got to go through that. We figured out a way to do it. We got Joel [Gion], the real tambourine player [from the Brian Jonestown Massacre]. He’s never acted before, and he was great. He was very funny and very comfortable. In fact, we’re bringing him back for another episode or two, because we find him really, really funny. That was one of our biggest homages. In fact, the director of `Dig!’ called us, and we’ve been so busy that we haven’t been able to hook up with her. She either wants to complain about it or …” Amy continues Dan’s thought: “I hope she liked it. We’d hate for her to hate it, because we loved the movie so much.”
Many episode titles contain pop-culture references; this season the show had an episode with the Beatles-inspired moniker “Let Me Hear Your Balalaikas Ringing Out” and another called “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” a film reference. Dan says: “We TV writers, we used to name these scripts, and no one outside of the office or the studio or networks would ever see the titles. And suddenly, with DirecTV and [onscreen] program guides, they put the title there. … We’ve always been careful with the titles, A) to make sure that we can remember, five episodes down, we say, [when referring to an episode] we all know what we’re talking about, and then, B) to be interesting to people when they see it on DirecTV or read about it in the paper.”
The ending of “Friday Night’s Alright for Fighting” had a montage of scenes of the Gilmore clan fighting and laughing before, during and after the elder Gilmores’ weekly dinner gathering. Amy says: “It was inspired a little bit by `Husbands and Wives,’; there’s a great scene in that with Woody Allen and Mia Farrow. It was our homage to that. We haven’t done anything like that; it was a really different style for us. We thought, `This could be good or it could be really bad.’” As for the line, in a different scene, “It’s going to be like the opening night of `Taboo’ all over again,” Amy jokes, “That couldn’t be a good moment.”
Amy on whether the show continue next season without her and her husband at the helm: “We have no say over how long this goes. It’s all due to the network. They sort of decide year by year if they want another year. A couple times we thought [it was the last season], we thought Season 5 was the last year, but then we had this uptick, so, ‘Oh, there’s a Season 6’!
"We always put things in place [for the next season]; we’ve got a big, huge season cliffhanger finale this year, probably one of our biggest. Whatever happens next year, whether we’re here or someone else is here, it leaves the show with really good momentum and lots of good places to go.”
Amy on Lorelai and Luke: “We’ve got a lot of Luke-Lorelai stuff we’re playing this year. A lot of ups and downs and twists and turns for them, in getting these kids to the altar. And we’ve also got Rory and Logan too, they’re having a tumultuous year also. They’re working their way back together. In [‘Friday Night’s Alright for Fighting’] Logan came through for her in a way she needed. He stepped it up a notch in that episode. That’s their reconciliation. For now.
“We brought Luke’s daughter in not so much to play ‘Oh my God, there’s a long lost daughter,’ but more to play, ‘Who are Luke and Lorelai to each other?’ They’re two mid-thirties people who have built very independent lives, needing no one, they’ve got their own homes, their own businesses; they’ve got things just the way they like them. They’re incredibly independent and strong-willed and stubborn, and those are tough lives to mesh.
“The daughter thing was just a way to tap into an aspect of Luke that makes things interesting for the Luke-Lorelai relationship. Luke is very duty-bound and honor-bound and he feels great responsibility to family, even though family is something he scoffs at a lot. He’s also a very single-minded, tunnel-vision person. So he’s going to feel he’s got to take care of this responsibility before he can take care of any other responsibility. Right or wrong, it’s who he is.
“It’s a great device for us because [the daughter plot] taps into that without bringing in another woman or another romance, because nobody’s going to believe that. These two people are meant for each other, the only think keeping them apart right now is their own baggage.
“And Lorelai, being an incredibly independent, proud person, she’s not a pusher. She’s not going to say, ‘But what about me?’ It’s sometimes their own lack of communication abilities that have kept them single this long, and that causes our conflict -- so we don’t have to bring in the big elephant or the earthquake or ‘We’re trapped in an elevator’ or someone’s in a coma.”
Dan on Luke and Lorelai and Rory and Logan: “We’re really playing through the Lorelai and Luke thing, there will be something that will sort of put a cap on where we’ve been leading them. And Rory is dating a guy who -- Rory is a one-guy girl, very stable, and she’s dating a guy who’s not very stable. And that’s always a part of their relationship. Now, they may get married at some point and live together for 50 years, but that instability is always going to be there, because they’re different people who need each other for some reason. We’re going to be playing out aspects of that friction over the next seven or eight episodes.”
Amy on Logan and Rory: “There are deeper layers to Logan or she
“There are also aspects of Christopher [in Logan], there’s a little daddy issue there. Christopher was also a very rich, charming kid who had no focus. It’s a little bit of daughter and mommy making similar choices. Who knows, years from now, if he gets his [stuff] together, I think they could be long-term. Right now, he’s trying as far as he can try, but he has limits to who he is.
“And he’s done some things for Rory that on the surface seem kind of bad, but I think in the end, are very good. Because Rory was very subdued and needed to tap into a strength in herself that maybe she wasn’t doing so much, because she has a very strong mom and strong friends. She never really had to do that. She never really had to dig down deep and find out who she was. And this guy made her have to do that. So when you talk about it on that level, there could be more there [between Rory and Logan].”
