strange

something really strange happened when i came home last night.

it was midnight, i could hear the church bells from elgin road. a man was standing in front of the cherry-trees in lexington avenue with a long fishing pole in his hands, he was swinging it through the air and it made those typical hissing sounds, he was swinging it over the cherry-trees again and again...i wonder what he wanted to catch?

it was the strangest thing.

Happy Birthday, Anne!

it's my birthday.

obviously I'm a bit older than that.....i just really like this cake.

on days like these it can be hard to be away from home...so thanks to everybody who wrote or called today! my students were really sweet: two of the girls made some sort of chocolate-rocky-road-style-cake and the whole class got me a vegetarian cookbook and more chocolate from butlers. they also said that i still look young especially when i wear my hair down which i should do more often according to them....sweethearts!

pretty things

cherry blossom in japan

breakfast in paris

this was one of my favorite movies when i was 13, so mysterious....i visited hanging rock while in australia and unlike the girls, i came back....

and not so pretty things......

i used to love the book, but the queen of hearts in alice in wonderland scared the sh... out of me.

weekend pleasures

friday amanda had her tattoo made, so after we celebrated...


with prosecco and fish stew...


at fallon & byrnes wine bar.

saturday we headed down to whelans for david kitts new album "the nightsaver"


his music is very electronic and his songs can go on for hours, so it was more like being on a rave sometimes, awesome!!!! i think i´m in love...:)

spring break

its finally getting warm on this island...flowers and trees in bloom everywhere, i´m almost starting to like it here...:) trees have leaves again and i can´t see the church-clock anymore across the street.




i´m also trying to be healthier....

SATURDAY!

common, have a popsicle!

first of all: happy easter! mom, i miss you. not one little milka-bunny for me this year, i'm really sad, but then, life is also good right now. I'm on a short easter-break from college and do nothing but sitting on my windowsill in the sun, eating waffles with rhubarb-strawberry-compot and reading hard-boiled novels....Way to go, Philip Marlowe!

first i reread mildred pierce by cain and it was even better the second time. i really need to find that movie with joan crawford now.

in the spring of 1931.....

on a lawn in glendale, california....

it's a story about daughters, mothers, pride and pie...would you care for a piece of pie, mister rand? boy, would i care!

cain is a genius. just read this dialouge:

"hey, hey, you're breaking my heart." "I didn't know you had a heart." "neither did I."

haha!
so now i'm reading raymond chandler and its dreamy, its funny, it's boss!

on the right the great fat solid pacific trudging into shore like a scrub-woman going home. no moon, no fuss, hardly a sound of the surf. no smell. none of the harsh wild smell of the sea. a californian ocean.

i want to stay home and listen to old music and watch movies with women going up long curving staircases and men taking cigarettes out of expensive cases, snapping expensive lighters at each other.

the air got cooler. the highway narrowed. the cars were so few now that the headlights hurt.
