I love my sestra

Last Sunday I finished Orphan Black, and now all I can do is watch all the panels and interviews on Youtube.
The story went crazy but the characters and actors were sooo goooood.
I'm a totally Tatiana's fan now. 
And Jordan's
And Kristian's
And Kevin's
And Ari's...

BTW, I love Maria Doyle Kennedy since The Commitments. 

Merry Christmas

The king of men

The problem about watching Outlander is that Jamie Fraser sets the bar so high it gets more and more difficult to accept reality after each episode.
Sam Heughan is probably the Gilda, or actually the Rita Hayworth of men.

The best video for this song

Beautiful work, Tatia Pilieva.
I'm in tears.

Brazilian folklore

I think I'm one of them ;)

Where were you at 9/11?

Sadly I remember that day more vividly that most of the days of my life.

I have not thought about that day for a while, but tonight it came very strongly in my head.

Maybe because the fear of trouble right now is higher than or similar as it was for the rest of 2001.

I was at work, in my hometown. I was in a internship program. Me and the rest of the team were reading documents from the 18th century and laughing as usual. At the entrance it used to have a TV, someone went out for coffee and came back saying a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I had no idea which building was that. Back then the only New York's building I knew by name was The Empire State. We all went to the entrance and the TV showed images from The Twin Tower. That I knew. Then I knew.

I lost myself

I've been obsessed with Radiohead for the past 3 days. Over a week, maybe. On the release day of Man of War video I was like wow, but since Friday it's been full time. It all started with this year's Glastonbury gig and fuck... 
I should be anxious about the Joshua Tree tour, to which I've got tickets by miracle, but really... all I can hear and think about now it's Radiohead, how their songs move me, and how refined they are, the delicacy, the details...and if I will ever see them live again, how much I wish for a Radiohead tour date ANYWHERE in this country, and that I need a copy the new version of Ok Computer. 
Listening to Ok Computer and the Bends again, fuck, so much sadness and dreams and the feeling of a whole new world revealed again,,, 
It's true. 
Dreamers 
they never learn
The damage it's done.
There are two colors in my head.
My heart aches. 

Dave Rosser

Falling in love with The Twilight Singers had a lot to do with you, sir.
Colon cancer is a bitch. I hope you didn't suffer much.
Today was a sad day.
RIP

2 weeks away

I miss home.

Okja

Just watched the trailer and I'm pretty sure I'll be back to vegetarianism again after this movie.
I watched Snowpiercer about a month ago and it really shook me. I'm still not ok with the lines that came out of Chris Evans mouth.

They don't like us

"In 2016, 54 land rights defenders were killed in Brazil, the highest since 2003. Deforestation rates in 2016 were up 29 percent. Moreover, the administration of President Michel Temer is pushing to roll back indigenous rights and environmental protections in order to open the Amazon rainforest to corporate interest, from largescale hydroelectric dams and waterways, to massive agribusiness projects. Justice Minister Osmer Serraglio is one of the leading proponent of this rights rollback and the original sponsor of a proposal to amend the constitution to severely limit indigenous land titles, past and future."  (From Amazon Watch press release for the Global Earth Day Mobilisation)

Lazy Sunday afternoon, blue sky and red wine

Maybe next time

I should be flying to NYC right now.
About one month ago I planned a quick scape to watch "Sunday in the park with George" and spend a few days in the city visiting what I didn't had the chance last September.
I even bought a ticket for tomorrow night... And God knows I need a break after these two last weeks...
Maybe next time.

Every once and awhile I gotta remember myself of this song, its message, sound...

All the thoughts,... You never see,... You're always thinking,...
Brain is wired,... Brain is deep,... Oh are you sinking?,...
Feel the path of every day,... Which road you taking?,...
Breathing hard,...  Making hay,... Yeah this is living,...

Look for love & evidence,... That you're worth keeping,...

Swallowed whole in negatives,... It's so sad & sickening,...

Feel the air up above,... A pool of blue sky,...
Fill the air up with love,... Oh Black w/starlight,...

Feel the sky blanket you,... With gems & rhinestones,...
See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,...
For you to walk on,...

Nothing left,... Nothing left,...
Nothing there,... Nothing left,...

See the path cut by the moon,... For you to walk on,...
See the waves on distant shores,... Awaiting your arrival,...

Dream the dreams of other men,... You'll be no ones rival,...
Dream the dreams of others then,... You will be no ones rival,...
You will be no ones rival,...

A distant time,... A distant space,... That's where we're living.,..
A distant time,... A distant place,... So what you giving?,...
What you giving?

(music and words by Pearl Jam)

There's no proper time for bad news

But today, oh boy. Nobody could see that coming...
You didn't have to do that, girl. But it's too easy to say "we would like to help you" now.
I hope you are in peace. I truly wish that. I'm praying for.
Because I'd never feared a Monday class so much in my life like I do right now.
It will be tough. 
Yesterday you were just there. Just there

a surprise, a sadness, an invitation

I was surprised to see our beautiful beach on The New York Times. There's no fashion or glamour around, our hype is the opposite of that. It's the absence of hype.  I can not see new yorkers wishing for all the peace, spending a whole day drinking beer on the water under the sun doing nothing... but many Americans come to visit every year, it's true.

I love Alter do chão. 

If you want to see what Amazon is about, you better do it before is too late. We will disappear pretty soon.

And Alter is hotter and prettier from September to January.

PS: Nobody ever offered saúvas to me.  

Hey, Saint Patrick

I'm not gonna complain anymore.
We're cool, bro.
:)

Hey Canada,

Welcome! How were you today?

I finally watched La La Land

And we definitely need magic in our lives.
And love is pure magic.

(Maybe I should add a Ryan Gosling tag on this blog)

"Until there's nothing but sky"

And when the woman that you wanted goes

You can say to yourself, well, I give what I give

But the woman who won't wait for you knows

That however you live

There's a part of you always standing by

Mapping out the sky...

Will this musical be released as an album?

Save that line

A arte de tornar invisível o que existe.

Those days

Reality is such hard place to be
Some days, if wasn't for music, I wouldn't breath

I love New Order

I just want to share that. 
This video made me super curious about Lust and sound, but also made me miss Control and Goodbye Lenin...

Blue Jay (2016)

Every once and a while I have this daydream that at some point in my life I will write a film. Or a play. A small and very independent piece about a relationship.

After I watched Blue Jay I believe there's no reason to do it anymore. The story is a bit different from what I was planning to write but the main subject and (most important) the feeling are there as I thought it should be done.
It is a Netflix production (or distribution? I'm not sure) and I most deeply reccomend you to watch it. I did it last year, a few days before being off for holidays and as soon the film was over I played it again.

Thank you, Mark Duplass, for such a honest and delicate way to tell that story.

New year's day

Is an empty apartment still a home?
Will it ever not be?
How many times will I say goodbye to everything I keep with me?

For the first time in many years I feel new.
