awesome - hello to your sister claire. i'll probably figure out how to do that picture thing in a month or two. but once i learn, i'll never forget!!

re: drama, i guess it's time to face the fact that it's s. GIRLS. and "suicide" for that matter. what the hell are we doing with our time?? it is a fun forum to network in, and i've been thrilled by some kindred souls, such as yourself, whom i've been lucky enough to trip across here. so, you know, whatever.

I think that, in referring to my 'novella', silvereve was making a sarky comment about the length of my latest blog...

My sentiments exactly.

I have another long post that I may manage to get up later today.

I am honoured to be in your top 5 friends, although personally I don't think I'm going to go in for such brutal favouritism. Besides, I like the way it shows a random five - reminds me of people I haven't talked to in a while...

Fifi LaRoux? Somehow I just don't think I can carry that one off. Besides I don't want to change my first name.

Glad you're back. Sorry to hear things sound...rough.

Actually, Lila Downs has some traditional Mexican songs on her albums about the loss of love, hurt, which she sings with such emotion, you don't need to know Spanish to understand..... Of course they may also make you want to get stupefyingly (I think I just made that word up) drunk on Tequila. So be warned.

welcome back.

lots of stuff is new here... new apartment, new roommates... cool stuff. check out "the temple" my pics section and you'll understand!!

thank you dear. i love how expressive you are. you use language beautifully.

thank you for the recipe!

wow - you actually semi-quoted the tag line for the show ... "If the wars of the twentieth century were fought over oil, the wars of this century will be fought over water." Ismail Serageldin, 1995-Vice President of the World Bank

the issues at stake are more shocking than i ever realized, even after living in the p.i. & aus. they are much more serious than any of us outside the key institutions and/or countries at risk know. i've become an extremely conscious consumer of water in this process. its amazing how little water you actually need for a shower when you try. although this isn't my research issue, i'm definitely more interested in working with/in this issue. anyway ...

on a more superficial note, i'll try to get some pictures soon. its so funny how men react - they either LOVE it or HATE it. funny boys.

i contend that you can combine aesthetics and ethics. throw some nietzche in the mix. love life by creating beauty - visual, verbal, auditory, sociologically, spiritually, etc. go go both.

also, pretty peechar.

Ah, you must have noted that being complimented by strangers makes me happy! Thanks for that.
Well, maybe you're not a stranger, but it is somewhat odd to me to be conversing with all these people I have never met. It makes me feel less lonely and like less of a socially inept loner.
Here's to no more strangers!

only of the moment??

well. i am not sure if much spring is in the air. energies are low those days around here. ma girl is ill, porbably with a scarlet fever, and that leaves me low on energy, too. but i just came back teaching two yogalessons. new energy, hehe!

spring energy to you as well!

I must bring the film to be developed first before i can show off with my sexy plants. And the better ones are still on the roll in the camera. but if i have them, i will show you. and yes. hehe. i completed my task. *ponders for a new challenge* or will you set up a new one?

I went to Gymnasium, then I made an education, then I started studying.

What I think about the german education system. well. it has seen better times. They are trying to fix it, but for my opinion they fix it at the wrong places. there's much to discuss about it. but i think germany can learn a lot from other countries (especially scandinavian countries which seem to have a much better education system).

"so you got an Abitur in education, and then went on to study graphic design - is that it? just curious..."

yes. but before I started my studies, I made a 2yrs education as graphic design assistent.

"what do you like about Scandinavian education?"

i can't tell what exactly, as i never was in education there. but i have heard that schools work better. they have whole day schools (which are very rare here) and a better network of kindergarden, daycare and preschool. all the things before school starts are most important for the education. i also think it's a thing how money flows in education. which things are free and which things have to be paid. partly education really seems to become an elitism thing. which is so wrong. but well. as i am not really good at politics it's not my part to tell what's right and wrong. just some thoughts.

just wanted to let you know that i'm a comsumer of pharmaceuticals due to a chronic health condition (7 'scripsts in all). i've also seen plenty of conventional doctors. feel free to use me as an interview subject if you need one.

Awwwww . . . thanks. I had to quote as sometimes I actually feel like that Goddess.

In other news (and very deliquent responses) the book about the pirates sounds mighty interesting, especially since I have a love/fear relationship with children. It's definitely going on my "to be read" list.

I would love to trade you a doodle for a chair. (Big empahsis on doodle.) The chairs look like just the thing for wave watching on the Oregon coast.

I have often browsed Bukowski, but he seems to depress me mostly. Tell me what is it in his words that connects with you. And who are the faces in the photo? (I am a very curious girl this evening. )

As always . . .

'sexuality - it's like a strange wild country that you claim by giving away ... and therefore never own '

I like that.

And thank you.

the mistress of spices. it's all about mystery and the power of spices. about fate, about love, about indian emigrants in amerika, about personality, about borders and rules and about breaking the rules. it's just wonderful and poetic. go and read it :-)
