is there anybody out there? without any direct or particular connection to my little Teddy& his teddybear - I just saw again The Wall with Waters and the amazing cartoonist Gerald Scarfe commenting in the background

and Z from Zentropa

Many are associating the danish film

studio Zentropa exclusively with the

very sonor name of Lars von Trier.

And who can blame them?

I´m a fan of his work too:))

and btw,only in danish for the moment:

(kun på dansk) LvT´s-life,movies&phobias

''Melancholia''

-film editing in work-

Not that many knows that behind the

masterpieces released by the studio

stays a whole army of enormous

dedicated and passionate people and

nevertheless the iron hand in a velvet

glove of Zentropa´s Tzar and most warm

and friendly host ever: Peter Aalbæk .

These are the less known or totally

anonymous heroes; a little line on the

movie´s credits running at the end

across the screen with big speed.

Big enough to return unnoticed back

into the anonimous space it just came from.

Well: Hats off to all these people!

Hvilken?

Hvilken skal det være?

Så er det igen tiden for den store/skøre familiefest

med alle sammen fra nær og fjern samlet denne

gang i København. En del af fest-traditionen (foruden

den ''til solopgang'' drikkeri) er auktionen (spændende!)

hvor hver deltager kommer med nogle ting og køber,

selvfølgelig andres; alle pengene går til den næste fest.

Min svigemor spurgte efter nogle tegninger til auktio-

nen...såååå hvilke tegninger bliver det?

Mare party mare cu tot familionul, sau ,in

fine -doar cu ''aripa daneza'',adunata cu mic

cu mare in capitala, de prin toate colturile DK.

3zile-3nopti,ca la nunta!

Traditia cere,printre altele, ca toti participantii

sa contribuie cu oarece Ceva la licitatia care are

loc la un moment dat. Suma stransa e pastrata pt.

urmatoarea petrecere.Eu,cu intentia vadita de a

ma da mai gospodina decat sunt in realitate,am

tras frumos in sticle ceva lichior''home-made'',dar

soacra-mea insista sa pun la bataie niste tablouri,

ca sa repetam succesul de data trecuta,hehehe...

***

Biiig familiy party ahead! A part of the tradition

include a auction with objects brought by all

participants.My mother in low asked for some

paintings in order to repeat the last session´s

succes:))

A hedgehog for a kingdom!

''A kingdom, a kingdom, (my) hegdehog for a kingdom!''

to make the story (very) short I will just add that The Kingdom

exists between the covers of ''Theodosius the Small'',a novel

by R.Radulescu,the book I was hopelessly searched for ,since 2007

daca ati citit randurile de mai sus,ati inteles care-i treaba:

l-am vanat pe ''Teodosie cel Mic'' ,pan´ce mi-am pierdut

absolut orice speranta ca-l voi putea citi inainte de reeditare

(reeditare care,hm...cine stie cand si daca va avea loc) .

Dar iata ca lumea-i plina de miracole, la o adica,

si mulliganoglu gasi absolut ultimul (sunt convinsa!)

''Teodosie'' intr-o librarie subterana (ce spuneam eu,

miroase a miracol:)!) din Bucuresti! Mai mult decat atat,

neplacandu-i deloc ( da´deloc!!)nici Teodosie,nici bufnita,

nici restul bestiarului radulescian (ok,oarece exceptie,se

pare, facu totusi pisicainele ) a acceptat sa-mi cedeze

''comoara'' . In schimbul unui ''aricel pleoshtit'' . La care

am plusat si cu o bufnita capsunareasa, de teama ca (cine

stie?) poate prinde in cele din urma drag de cartea asta

si huuuh, Doamne-fereste! se razgandeste !!

Later edit : Teodosie si cei Doi Lebadoi au ajuns cu bine

la capatul calatoriei lor spre nord si s-au instalat in varful

unui anumit teanc de carti: acelea dintre paginile carora se

itzesc capetele unor mai mult sau mai putin improvizate

semne de carte; ma uit la ''Teodosie cel Mic'' cu sentimentul

pe care trebuie sa-l fi avut copilul din cantecul acela arhicunoscut,

privind gutuia din fereastra:nu stiu daca-mi va placea sau nu

povestea,dar, pentru moment,asa cum sta acolo,ascunsa in copertele

ei , fara nici un semn de carte intre pagini, e insasi intruchiparea

Promisiunii ! Si parca tot nu-mi vine sa cred ca am pus (in sfarsit!)

mana pe cartea asta : mulliganoglu, multumesc mult inca o data !

Dear everybody

IF-'paisley',couldn´t fit better! If you will scroll down a bit, you´ll

see that all my swallows got one on their back:)! So,as you can see,

soon will come a new children´s book in town: ''Stories for smart

kids'' (however,it is just for romanian kids,he,he) with lyrics by

Karina Muresanu Vlad,who kindly invited the ''Artist''

here named to illustrate it:))

Lume,lume! Cum ziceam si mai sus,la un moment dat (intr-una

din zilele acestei veri , speram noi) povestile cu rima si morala

ale Karinei, ilustrate de subsemnata, vor vedea lumina

tiparului. ''Lumina tiparului'' la propriu,pentru ca intamplator

sau nu (Karina stie ce si cum),editura se numeste atat de frumos :

''Lumen'':)).

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill desaster

IF Ripple - joined the project

''It´s hard to make ripples in oil soaked water.

But throw enough stones and you will

It´s not about the politics or the corporation.

It´s about the animals.It´s about feeling helpless

Garden cat -if

Summer´s t(r)ail with garden cat & leaves of grass

Så har vi havens katte :)) Daca tot veni vorba de pisici,vara si iarba,

si daca tot astept ''Centrifuga'' lui T.O.Bobe,

pun si eu o bucatica de rima pt. P.d.s.

(chiar daca-i duminica)

''(...) Si m-as face templu

Nu ma lasa iarba

M-as preface-n mine,

Cu genunchii goi

Si legandu-mi fruntea

ca la baba-oarba

M-as lua de mana

Si-as fugi-napoi (...)''

Prin anii ´90 aparusera intr-o brosurica,poeziile

unei adolescente: Iulia Dora Marinescu .Din ea am

recitat,din memorie( cat de exact am facut-o,nu stiu).

Ce s-a intamplat cu ea ? Cu Iulia?

A mai scris? Mai scrie?

(nica´ pe google,nici macar o alta ,cu acelasi nume )

PAS PÅ MIG I TRAFIKKEN !!!!!!

For pokker, f***, h*** og Søren da ! Mange pindsvin bliver

nemlig dræbt i trafikken (50.000-80.000, hvert år kun

i DK !).Hvis en pindsvinemor dør,så er hendes unger også

fortabte...

Jeg er bange for,at snart vil stakkels pindsvinet blive udslettet..

One more dead hedgehog if I see,I´ll also die of sorrow!

With 50-80.000 killed in traffic every year just in DK

I´m surprised this species(btw:what is in english

the singular of ''species'?no one seem to know exactly)

is not yet exterminated.

Inca un arici mort sa mai vad si mor si eu de inima rea!

Cum vine primavara si ies din hibernare, cum incepe carnagiul!

La cat de multi zac de-a lungul soselelor ma mir ca specia nu a

fost inca exterminata...dar,ne vom ocupa noi si de asta,nu?

Ca doar ne sta in obicei sa ducem treaba la bun sfarsit...

early for IF

well,someone is actually getting up earlier than me...''getting up''

is a way of saying´cause in this period of nights-without night is

difficult to sleep,to begin with(and I´m not living that far in the

north to get real ''white nights'';here they are rather...grey:))) .

Even if we have this special curtains,so is dark inside the house,

my internal clock refuse to get fooled by a minor detail like this,

and continue to adjust itself after what´s happening behind the

curtains,outside.So,I´m going around like a zombie,worse than

Al Pacino in Insomnia, avoiding to watch the watch-my body

knows anyway that is almost morning...that´s why I don´t see

why I´m sooo damn surprised when I start to hear the

blackbirds & their sisters singing:

What the...is so late? No...is so early

... at least if I could find a productive way of using my

insomnia,reading books,finishing the drawings and

other dead-lines,doing SOMETHING.But I´m sooo

tired and my brain refuse to cooperate:))) maybe

it´s time to start getting pills

blogareala...

Anna´s konfirmation

Anna,en sød-sportlige pige,der elsker fodbold,skal konfirmeres i april.Hun er slet ikke til pusse-nusse ting!Anna ønskede en invitation i blå og turkis(hendes favorite farver),som spejler hende på en eller anden måde og hendes attitude:ingen kjole eller lyserød farve:)))).I stedet,fik den lille fodbold-bold til bordkort lov til at have en nederdel på:)))!Kære Anna,jeg håber at du vil have en fantastisk konfirmationsfest!

Here is Anna, a very boyish girl,who wish to have a special invitation in blue and turkis(her favorites colors) to her confirmation in april,a invitation to mirror her attitude toward life:neither dresses nor pink or other girlish stuff(I can really see myself in her,I used to be the same boyish-girl at her age,with plenty of blue marks on my skin:))).Well,just the little football ball for the table cards got ''permission'' to weare a''ballet-tutu'' and red sox.
