public transport - disease #2

Bus #43 must have a magical power.
The ride back home from work is much more exciting than 10 hours in Westwood's press office.

Today, while I was sitting on the bus, I heard a noise.
I gave a glance at that point and saw a man lying on the floor.
Suddently I run there and with other people helped the man to stand up.

Guess what? The old man looked like Hans Moleman.

I couldn't stop laughting.

World's Largest Spoon

Only a few people know about my passion for spoons. The bigger they are, the better is. I'm costantly looking for bigger spoons, but as soon as i find one, it's never enough, i want it bigger and bigger. Finally i found the right spoon for me. I't's in minneapolis. I hate the cherry though.
Please somebody make a huge Tiramisù!!

PORNTOONS

I've always loved cartoons, especially European/American ones, despite the Mangas.
Mangas are usually sexy, think about "Cat's Eye", the girls in "Dragon Ball", etc, and may have some explicit sexual images,
for instance think about Ranma.

Thanks to my friend Davide I discovered the area of what I would call the PORNTOONS or the SEXTOONS.
They rapresent "regular cartoons" in sexual scenes.



I find them rather disturbing and horrendus.







This is our decision, to live fast and die young.

We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.

Coitophobia - Fear of coitus.


Arachibutyrophobia - Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.

Do you know how many phobias exist?

Catapedaphobia- Fear of jumping from high and low places.

I'm rather sure you think so, but in reality you have no idea.

Parthenophobia- Fear of virgins or young girls.

The list is sooooo long you wouldn't belive it.

Papaphobia- Fear of the Pope.

It's so strange to think people are scared of flowers, of property, of wooded areas, of belly buttons,of shellfish, etc.

Sophophobia- Fear of learning.

To be honest, while reading the list I recognised I have some of these diseases.

Symmetrophobia- Fear of symmetry.

If you want to give a glance to the whole list you can find the link below.

Apotemnophobia- Fear of persons with amputations.

Cathisophobia- Fear of sitting.

Finding Wally


Finding Wally has always been one of my fav books/games.
I've always loved the idea of discovering where that nerd with his striped t-shirt was.


Enjoy!

Sicilian Portrait #46


Dismembered and lost in a chrome bush,/ lock-nut rusting binary songs,/ your frosted glass eyes met my softness./ Mystical practice touching your enameled iron hair./ In an antique and baroque garden of Palermo,/ you told me that the earth started to involve/ at the end of the Maya Civilization./ Diane Pernet was laughing at my nudity:/ my heavy pink skin was so untrue/ in front of your silver gloomyness./ Lost in your teaspoon made tattoo,/ I’ve decided to lay with you,/ your legs away./ Slippery grass was around your chest and,/ as I touched the ground, your firm hand/ was between my legs./ With thumb and forefinger you tear off my clit/ and took the blooded phalanxes to your mouth./ The lights on your belly became black:/ it was the only way for you to die,/ it was the only way for me to live.

Cesare Callegari





This is a poem written by my lovely friend Cesare.

Kubrick Shooting 4 LOOK

A few people know that Stanley Kubrick started his career as photographer before becoming a film-maker.

Today I've been to his exposition in Milan, where his pictures are shown in preview.
The exhibition is quite well organized; it takes place at Palazzo della Ragione, a beautiful palace in the city centre.
As he was working for the magazine Look, all the shootings are divided into theme areas.

The ones I preferred are about: the circus, and a poor boy called Mickey.

Mickey is a 12 y.o. shoeshine, living in the early 50's, working after school for a few money.
He is handsome and got lots of interests and duties as looking after his 5 younger brothers and taking care of the pigeons.
He reminded me of Oliver Twist.


The serie about the Circus is amazing.
It mainly shows circus workers during their trainings or during their spare time.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a wonderful image with a leopard puppy.

To be honest it was quite clear Jeremiah Terminator was a woman




But who cares?

She's one of the best writers i've ever read.
Ok, she might not be Dostoevskij, Dickens or Jean-Paul Sartre, but she's a genius.

The first J.T. LeRoy's book I read it was "Harold's End".
I found this book very striking.
It's a sick story about an outsider taking care of an escargot.
Well, in reality the whole plot is an exposé of how people
pretend to help the ones in need just for their self-interest.


The second book I read was "The heart is deceitful above all things".
No, I haven't seen the movie, and got no intentions to do so.
This story is totally wicked. It's about Jeremiah, a 5 years old baby,
which travels around America from trucker to trucker with his mother,
an alcoholic and drug-addict sad bitch.
Several "hot" themes are developed: child sexual abuse, shoplifting, physical abuse, sodomy, drug abuse, violence, prostitution, etc.
I'm pretty sure that if you'll have the courage to read this novel,
you will devour it in a few hours.



Then, finally, I read Sarah.
I found it less strong than the others.
Maybe less commercial but also less convincing.
Sarah is the development of the story, when Jeremiah becomes a teenager.



I would advise to read J.T. LeRoy's biography (real name Laura Albert).
Creating Jeremiah Terminator she has designed a brand new writer, far away from her status of mother,
but quite close in some parts with her past life.


I would love to read Labour, her latest book, published 3 years ago,
but still not available in Italy.
