For the boy

April 2011, Kapalı Çarşı, Istanbul

No second thoughts, the knife is nearing
You'll never hear the little pitter-patter pitter-patter
of this little feat of engineering
Of course I love you
and of course it's what's inside that matters

~ The Dresden Dolls, "Sex changes"

Ladies and gentlemen, critics and hipsters,
have you heard the new disc by the Evelyn Sisters?
Seamlessly floating with grace between eras and genres,
they sing timeless new songs, rife with double entendres.

Inside the dragon

April 2011

We must hang up in the belfry where the bats and moonlight laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
And to the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge

~ Bright Eyes, "At the bottom of everything"

After all this time, I understand nothing at all about colour. Absolutely nothing. It's impressing. I can only admit defeat and let GIMP handle it.

How does colour work? What does it mean? How should it be? How was it when I took the picture? Does GIMP know what it's doing? Do I, for that matter? No. No, I don't.

"And suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out. And they started falling, thirty thousand feet... And then they splashed into the deep blue sea. Oh, it was a wonderful splash."

Whoosh

April 2011, Athens International Airport

We must blend into the choir, sing in static with the whole
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
And in this endless race for property and privilege to be won
We must run
