«And at this his face totally changed, and he said "What are you talking about?!" and so I told him I would be leaving the show, because; and that was as far as he let me go, and he said, "STOP! You cannot! You cannot leave this show! Do you not understand what you are doing?! You are the first non-stereotypical role in television! Of intelligence, and of a woman and a woman of color?! That you are playing a role that is not about your color! That this role could be played by anyone? This is not a black role. This is not a female role! A blue eyed blond or a pointed ear green person could take this role!" And I am looking at him and looking at him and buzzing, and he said, "Nichelle, for the first time, not only our little children and people can look on and see themselves, but people who don't look like us, people who don't look like us, from all over the world, for the first time, the first time on television, they can see us, as we should be! As intelligent, brilliant, people! People in roles other than slick tap dancers, and maids, which are all wonderful in their own ways, but for the first time we have a woman, a WOMAN, who represents us and not in menial jobs, and you PROVE it, this man [Gene Rodenberry] proves and establishes a precedent that validates what we are marching for because three hundred years from today there we are, and there you are, in all our glory and all your glory! And you CANNOT leave!"

«But that’s what I get paid for - the complications.»

Curioso como o menos Guy Ritchie de todos os filmes de Guy Ritchie acaba por ser também o menos Sherlock Holmes de todos os filmes de Sherlock Holmes. Nem este Holmes tem os trejeitos chiques de Jeremy Brett nem a trama segue os passos clássicos - e só aqui e ali é que nos lembramos que estamos num filme do realizador de Snatch e RocknRolla. No fundo, esta aventura podia passar-se com qualquer outro detective, cowboy ou super-herói da BD em qualquer outro filme de Hollywood. Mas nada disso torna este Holmes 2.0 menos divertido e menos carismático. Pelo contrário: a química entre Downey Jr. e Law é deliciosa, a acção é empolgante e a banda-sonora de Hans Zimmer é de se lhe tirar o chapéu.

2010-01-09T17:48:00.011Z

SHELTER

I find shelter
In this way
Undercover
Hide away
Can you hear
When I say
I have never
Felt this way

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Could I be
Was I there
It felt so crystal
In the air
I still want to drown
Whenever you leave
Please teach me gently
How to breathe

And I'll cross oceans
Like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Novo curso de escrita para não-leitores

2010-01-06T04:09:00.003Z

«As print takes its place alongside smoke signals, cuneiform, and hollering, there has emerged a new literary age, one in which writers no longer need to feel encumbered by the paper cuts, reading, and excessive use of words traditionally associated with the writing trade. Writing for Nonreaders in the Postprint Era focuses on the creation of short-form prose that is not intended to be reproduced on pulp fibers.

Instant messaging. Twittering. Facebook updates. These 21st-century literary genres are defining a new "Lost Generation" of minimalists who would much rather watch Lost on their iPhones than toil over long-winded articles and short stories. Students will acquire the tools needed to make their tweets glimmer with a complete lack of forethought, their Facebook updates ring with self-importance, and their blog entries shimmer with literary pithiness. All without the restraints of writing in complete sentences. w00t! w00t! Throughout the course, a further paring down of the Hemingway/Stein school of minimalism will be emphasized, limiting the superfluous use of nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, conjunctions, gerunds, and other literary pitfalls.

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. Never think of taking a book with you. The object of walking is to relax the mind. You should therefore not permit yourself even to think while you walk. But divert your attention by the objects surrounding you. Walking is the best possible exercise.»

However, many people are carrying the way they said years from last decade over to this decade as a bad habit. If we don't fix this now, we'll be stuck saying years the long way for the next 89 years. Don't let that happen!»

Um poeminha para estes dias estilhaçados

2009-12-24T03:52:00.004Z

SPINNING AWAY

Up on a hill, as the day dissolves
With my pencil turning moments into line
High above in the violet sky
A silent silver plane - it draws a golden chain

One by one, all the stars appear
As the great winds of the planet spiral in
Spinning away, like the night sky at Arles
In the million insect storm, the constellations form

On a hill, under a raven sky
I have no idea exactly what I've drawn
Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away
With every single line moving further out in time

And now as the pale moon rides (in the stars)
Her form in my pale blue lines (in the stars)
And there, as the world rolls round (in the stars)
I draw, but the lines move round (in the stars)
There, as the great wheels blaze (in the stars)
I draw, but my drawing fades (in the stars)
And now, as the old sun dies (in the stars)
I draw, and the four winds sigh (in the stars)

I GOOGLE YOU

I Google you
late at night when I don’t know what to do
I find photos
you’ve forgotten
you were in
put up by your friends

I Google you
when the day is done and everything is through
I read your journal
that you kept
that month in France
I’ve watched you dance

And I’m pleased your name is practically unique
it’s only you and
a would-be PhD in Chesapeake
who writes papers on
the structure of the sun
I’ve read each one

I know that I
should let you fade
but there’s that box
and there’s your name
somehow it never makes the pain
grow less or fade or disappear
I think that I should save my soul and
I should crawl back in my hole
But it’s too easy just to fold
and type your name again
I fear
I google you
Whenever I’m alone and feeling blue
And each scrap of information
That I gather
says you’ve got somebody new
And it really shouldn’t matter
ought to blow up my computer
but instead….
I google you

«O ano em que águias e leões pela primeira vez se encontram seria marcado ainda pela independência da Nova Zelândia. Já na Europa, continuam as aventuras dos grandes exploradores. Arranca a Expedição Antártica Britânica, sob o comando de Ernest Shackleton. Quebra-se a paz estudantil em Coimbra. Uma greve académica abala a universidade mais antiga em território nacional. Está o planeta a desbravar caminhos da física e química. São dezenas as descobertas em laboratório. É num deles que Eduard Buchner descobre a enzima que fermenta a cerveja. Um feito histórico: é no ano do Benfica-Sporting que se define, finalmente, o sabor da bebida original do futebol! Mais do que isso: é fixada a fórmula química para se produzir cerveja em massa.»

«Está um belo dia para conduzir de olhos fechados, Horten.»

Pequena e subtil tragicomédia, o novo filme do norueguês Bent Hamer chega às salas (a uma sala) discretamente, depois de ter passado pelo Fantas e no final de um ano recheado do mais interessante cinema nórdico. Mas o mais curioso é que o mais próximo deste O'Horten não sejam nem os pequenos vampiros suecos nem os crimes e castigos da saga Millennium (apesar da luminosidade e da eloquência), mas o último êxito da Pixar. Porque também aqui se pintam, embora com outras cores e harmonias, os novos dias solitários de um velhote reformado perante uma realidade cada vez mais diferente. Porque também aqui, a terceira idade tem direito às suas revoltas. Pequena e subtil tragicomédia, minimalista aqui, surreal ali, melancólica agora, bizarra depois. Mas, até ao fim, tão tocante quanto delirante.

Message in a piano (revista de postas)

«FREE DOWNLOADS ARE FINE. BUT PLEASE BUY *SOMETHING*

It's inevitable. Some people won't want to buy our records when they can get them for free. In an ideal world, all music would be free and recording artists would be happy to make music for free distribution to the masses. But this isn't an ideal world. Recording and releasing records costs money. And in our case, that money comes straight out of our pockets. We have to at least recoup that money or we can't continue to record. It's that simple.

We try to make our records as cheaply as possible in the stores. We set the dealer price (the price we sell the record to the distributor at) as low as we possibly can so that the price you buy it for in the store doesn't break the bank. We just need to cover our costs.

So, please, if you download or share our music for free, consider buying something by the band too. Come to our concerts, buy a CD at the concert. Without this, we can't continue to make music.

Thank you,

Piano Magic»

Breviário de leituras: Y, the last man [6 a 10] (revista de postas)

2009-12-03T17:09:00.000Z

«Não sei a quem pertencerá exactamente a frase, mas em Good Omens (de que existe uma tradução portuguesa, Bons Augúrios, na Via Láctea), de Neil Gaiman e Terry Pratchett, há algo que ilumina o princípio que subjaz, afinal, a todo o Y: (cito de cor) “o problema com os seres humanos não é serem intrinsecamente bons ou intrinsecamente maus, mas serem intrinsecamente humanos”. C’est tout.»

«The Force is strong with this one» (revista de postas)

2009-11-29T02:47:00.000Z

«An upcoming television show explains why real life lightsabers are a physical impossibility, before building the next best thing. It's like Mythbusters but, surprisingly, made with even more awesome.
According to Variety, the show, Sci-Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible, will feature Dr. Michio Kaku looking at the reality behind Star Wars' favored weapon of choice. After explaining that light can't be formed into a solid blade, Jedi-style, he then goes to work looking for alternatives, including plasma swords and carbon nano-tubes, with the help of experts in the field.»

Agir, alcançar, comunicar, criar, desenhar, descobrir, escrever, experimentar, instruir, investigar, navegar, proteger, realizar, representar, rir. Saber ouvir e, porque não?, olhar para o umbigo. Trabalhar. E esperar que tudo corra bem...

Take back the city

O Royal Albert Hall por dentro e por fora. O Hyde Park de um lado ao outro. Oxford Street e Carnaby Street e Picadilly Circus e Leicester Square à noite. O Big Ben e o Parlamento e o London Eye e a Tower Bridge à pressa. Covent Garden e a Abbey Road para a fotografia. O Now 74 em primeiro e a SuBo em segundo. O David Byrne e a Nico e os Grizzly Bear e os Wild Beasts na bagagem. Um curso intensivo de Londres e um concerto surpreendente em tão boa companhia. Assim, vale a pena.

«É tempo de optar: independentemente do que viermos a fazer (só se vacina quem quer!), há dois tipos de atitudes: a que é lógica, científica, lúcida e isenta, ou a que é sensacionalista, mal informada e não fundamentada (...)»
