Prague

I am going to Prague next week! Prague, home of Kafka, Rabbi Loew's Golem and Dalibor...
Yeeha is all I can say...No, of course I can say a lot more, like, I can't wait. I've seen it in so many movies, and now I'm going to the paradise of horror-movie directors. The beer is supposed to be real cheap there too...
Well, I'll post photos as soon as am back.

Does Life Suck Periodically?

Does life suck periodically? Does the suckiness of life come in waves? Or does it suck perpetually, and sometimes the small things that do not suck cover up the crapiness of everything? Are these just words of a cynical person, even a bitter one? Maybe. Not really. It's more that sometimes things tend to be unfair and bad and it's all I can see. Or am I deluding myself? Why do I ask so many questions? These would be good song lyrics.

Peppermint

I feel like peppermint today. I feel Pulp-Foction-y. I feel totally cranked up. It's like someone turned up the volume inside my head. Overflow of emotions, not really happy ones, but intense ones. Ever feel like that? I felt like the pure essence of my being was on display today. Problem, though, cause do you want people to know who you really are? (Actually, all this emotional high-rolling, kind of leads you to the experience of so called Golden Moments. Know what I mean? No, not those, the others, the intellectual ones!) Well, not everyone, right? Lovers, friends, confidantes, but random people who are part of the stream of conscious beings that pass by you but whom you don't know? Do I want to reveal my true nature to them? Where would the mystery go? The essence of femininity IS mystery, that we all know...
Well, please don't mind my mindless rambling, only the result of to much vine with dinner...But those who read this, and know that I mean them in only an instant: I love you. Have a wonderful week, be a bit emotional, it's fun (mostly).

Programmable Soda

I am very much like programmable soda sometimes. But one constant in my life is Tori Amos. I've been listening her latest album (American Doll Posse) like all the time the last week (got it for ma b-day). It's amazing. She does this Sibyll thing where she has like five different personalities: Tori, Pip, Isabel, Clyde and Santa. They all have their quirks and ways, and their songs always have a certain groove. You can feel the personalities of the women through their songs, which of course is the whole point. What truly amazes me is that she uses the weirdest and most fitting metaphors to express her feelings about everyday questions and problems. Of course, every singer slash songwriter who goes beyond the "I love you/ You don't love me/God, I'm so very sad" routine, is refreshing, but the woman can paint a picture with words and melodies that are sometimes more alive than the real world outside. I've seen that woman live on stage twice now, and both times I've felt more alive and more like myself than before. I think everyone who has an interest in music that is not restricted to the radio or mainstream "otherworldly special" trash like those hundreds of thousands of Indie bands, takes some interest in the opus magnus of Tori Amos.
