Just some notes

  • I have now seen the first Harry Potter movie. Can't say it changed my life but I think it's a good movie in it's own genre and for it's target audience. I liked the music. And I'm not opposed to the idea of watching the second movie if it's on tv this week.
  • There's a huge amount of ugly clothes out there in the world. They really make you think who would design such a thing, who would buy it and who would actually wear it. Well, it seems that all of those people exist. (That's totally only my opinion of course, I'm sure there's stuff in my closet that some people would say the same about.)
  • The neighbours are still doing the remont (the word is just too good not to use it). All the noisy things they do are so annoying that the whole situation just makes me laugh. Specially in the mornings.
  • In spite of the drilling (I think?) this morning I still slept so well today. Maybe it's because of the slightly lower temperature.
  • There's some kind of tivoli outside, it really helps you to keep up with the latest top 40 hits.
  • An obligatory "Oh, how I love the autumn" paragraph. I can smell it coming in the air and it just makes me feel so much more calm/in character/fitting in/some other good word.
  • I very much like the baristas (another cool word) in Coffee In. Wonder why they didn't get this "Kiida teenindajat" thing this year.
  • Why haven't I seen Twilight agendas anywhere? Maybe I wanna buy one.

Sült

Möödunud aastal kirjutasin siin , kuidas Leonard Coheni "Hallelujah" on nii hea lugu, et seda ei saa isegi halb kaverdaja ära rikkuda. Saab küll, lambist juhtusin kuulma, et saab küll. Mingiks süldiks on ära keeratud. Loo nimi on "Kalle Luunjast" (Halleluuja - Kalle Luunjast, saad aru?). Tundub, et muusikasnoob minus pole veel päriselt alla andnud.

Nikola Huppertz "Elamiseks liiga pikk"

Hiljuti lugesin sama autori raamatut "Kaunis nagu kaheksa" . Leidsin, et eesti keeles on Huppertzilt veel üks raamat ilmunud. "Elamiseks liiga pikk" tundus jällegi intrigeeriv pealkiri.  Peategelane Magali Weill on nimelt 13-aastane Hannoveri tüdruk, kes on 182 sentimeetrit pikk. See on tema jaoks problemaatiline peamiselt seepärast, et nii pikana pole ta enda arvates suudeldav. Juba praegu pole. Ja kui veel mõtlema hakata, et tema oodatav pikkus täiskasvanuna on ilmselt üle 190 sentimeetri... Tulevik tundub tume. Magali elab kortermajas koos arstist isa (kes Magali meelest keha küll eriti ei mõista), vähe närvilise ema ja mässulise vanema õega. Üks nende naabritest on 98-aastane härra Krekeler. Magali teab, et härra Krekeler hakkab varsti surema. Kust ta teab? No vaadake kui vana ta on!  Päris palju tegevust raamatus käibki härra Krekeleri suremise ümber. Kõlab masendavalt, aga pole masendav. Ongi tegelikult niuke mittemasendav raamat elamisest ja suremisest. Ütlem...

Olümpiabingo : tulemus

Hakkasin niisiis veebruaris olümpiamängude puhul taas üht olümpiabingot täitma. Mõtlesin, et täidan paar kuud. Ainult viis kuud läkski aega.  Algul oli selline tabel: Täidetud ruudud: Moemaailm Sest see on Itaaliaga (kus olümpia toimus) seonduv teema.  "Meie sajandi iluideaalid" - mitte kõige õnnestunum teos käsitles perioodi 1890ndatest 1990ndateni. Tuli Nagu olümpiatuli. Viola Ardone "Rongilapsed" - Ardere tähendab itaalia keeles põlema. Kuidagi tekkis arvamus, et nimi Ardone on ka sellest tüvest. Ilmselt ei ole. Nii et tegelikult see raamat seda ruutu täita ei saaks. Raamat ise oma kingametafooriga oli huvitav muidu. Pluss kogu tõestisündinud lugu rongilastest.  Alex Schulmani "Bränn alla mina brev"  (põleta kõik mu kirjad) lugesin ka sel poolaastal, see sobiks ka siia ruutu. Tegevus Itaalias Paolo Giordano "Algarvude üksildus"   - idee, et mõned inimesed on nagu algarvud, istus mulle täitsa hästi. Euroopa autor Sest Euroopa on üks olümpiar...
