Conversations on the Bus

On the bus is a lady in silver sequin scarf and gold painted nails. She is having angry conversations with unknown subjects.
I am having conversations with you. Through a telephone unconnected to reality.

Where are we?

She gets off with an empty twin cart. I am thinking it is fortunate that she is carrying bottles, not children.

"Quote-Unquote"

I love quoting.
My favourites in the world of quotations are 1)the moral-despising, anti-religious, dance and art-loving Friederich Nietzsche and 2)the everlasting Shakespeare as well as the wise 3)Karen Blixen, Simone de Beauvoir and Coco Chanel. I also love the one-liners from materialistically orientated, surgically altered 93 year-old  Zsa-Zsa Gabor - queen of diamond-loving man-slapping exclamations.
Browsing quotation sites randomly today lead me to former President of the USA; Ronald Reagan.
I wonder if he ever spoke in anything BUT one-liners, knowing from his time in showbiz, that this was the direct way to success.
I randomly quote:
"Latinos are Republican. They just don't know it yet" 
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin"
Eh, ok... 
Being President takes many waking hours but...
"I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon" 
and
"No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting"
All that sleep seems good for the mind, since he demonstrates a profound understanding of peace making:
"Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means"
but the following leaves me wondering what Reagan's concept of peaceful means is:
"When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat "
"We should declare war on North Vietnam. We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas"
Concluding in his own words that
'2Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book" 
I can only say that these quotations seem plenty enough for a book. Only too bad that he's too dead to write it...

What a Girl Wants (greed from a feminine perspective)

In my world, there is no such thing as a Must-Have. There are only I-Needs. For example, I NEED ballet flats. How great it would be to have a pair for every day of the week from the new collection by Lanvin
and as extras a couple of ballerinas from Repetto. Esp. the nude veg. leather and the black ones with sequins.


I also NEED this jacket from acne. It's even on sale!
To go with that I'd have
These delicious silk pants from dosa @ Lubarol. Fairtrade and all (although I think 2100 dkr is not that fair).
In order not be naked under the jacket, I'd have to wear a top. This would be perfect, right?

I don't need a bra, the silk on the body feels too great. But I do need a pair of undies. I'm a devotee of old-ladies Swiss quality brand Calida - their silk and wool blend is marvelous.

I might also want another pair of black baggy silk (are 2 pairs of silk trousers too much?) - these would be good. With this little tiger.

Whether you like it or not, I will from now on be publishing my wishes monthly. Just in case a fairy or something should drop by.

I'm not dead, I feel fine, I feel happyyyyyy

Hey there. It's been a mighty long time since this blog has had any new posts. So just to give a sign of life, here's one.
Many years ago, I used to be addicted to the Monty Python and the Holy Grail pc game. It's a classic - and the "best CD-Rom Game of 932 AD". But it's so old now that it no longer works on present systems (not on mine anyway). That brings me great grief, especially since I have not managed to find even bits of it on-line.
Besides going on a quest for the Holy Grail the game includes classics such as "spank the virgin", "burn the witch" and not least "drop dead" - a version of tetris, where you throw dead bodies into a mass grave.

But as a small comfort, a game called spamalot from the Monty P. lot is available here
Enjoy.
