Concurs de proză arhiscurtă
Cum hălăduiam eu pe meleaguri internautice ca de obicei, am dat peste concursul de proză arhiscurtă organizat de Trilema. Pentru că e greu câteodată sa fii concis, se acceptă ca textele să aibă între 495 şi 505 caractere (inclusiv cu spaţii). Tema este la alegere aşa că mi-am zis că nu strică un mic exerciţiu creativ care se poate lăsa cu premii.
“Povestea” mea are fix 500 de semne.
“Era septembrie târziu, fragil şi plin de vise. Ploaia cădea ca-ntotdeauna în lumea ei. Stropi mici, rapizi, tăioşi; întocmai ca vorbele ei. Cu părul împletit în frig se legăna pe tocuri roşii; cu trupul ei ciudat păşea în lume iar şalul ieftin, fluturând agale, umpluse strada de parfum. Gândurile îmi tăiau respiraţia. Aş fi vrut să-şi întoarcă privirile spre geamul librăriei. Mergea acum spre casă şi nu-i mai păsa de nimic. Târa dupa ea o geantă plină cu poveşti. Avusese prima lansare de carte.”

Atlanta – Georgia USA
Haha, I got another postcard today, from Atlanta, Georgia in the U.S.
This one is a bit unusual for me because I’ve never seen such drawings on postcards.
It says on the back that the character is from Toy Story 2 and the concept art is by Jill Culton.
I love Pixar Animation Studios.

Jazz nights
When I’m at home I like to listen to online radio and for more than 2 years now I only listen to 3 of them: Radio Soft in Copenhagen (during the winter time it’s like a cup of dark hot chocolate for my soul and also reminds me so well of Magic Fm), Studio Brussels (each time I want to feel young and careless again) and Sky Fm Alternative Rock or Top Hits (most of the time).
These days however I made a change. My nights are now full of saxophones, trumpets, flutes, pianos, bass guitars. I’m living my jazz life going back to the 1920’s. On Radio Swiss Jazz.

Lublin – Poland
Postcrossing is a great place to exchange postcards with people all over the world.
Besides the random address that you get when you’d like to send a postcard to someone, you can also make a direct swap or trade of postcards. For example, if you collect them like I do and you don’t have one from a certain place like The Tinian Island, you can make a request if you find someone living there. And you have to send one from your country too.
So, I made a trade with Agata from Poland and today I received my card from the beautiful Lublin. You can find more lovely postcard views on her blog.
” Lublin is the largest city east of the Wista river. By some tourists it is called “little Cracow” because it has historic arhitecture and a unique ambiance. Lublin is also called “the capital of festivals”. On the postcard you can see a view of the Old City with metropolitan cathedral and Trinitarian Tower from Thursday Hill. ”
My little card is a bit curved thanks to the greatest postal service ever that we have here. But I love it anyway, it makes me dream and feel the Old City.
