I blame Tom

I blame Tom for fingers that want to dance along the skin for the fire emerging from sailing within.

A corrente pede 10 álbums que ainda apareçam nas nossas playlists - uma capa por dia, sem explicações, e com a nomeação da praxe. Vou saltar os artifícios e apresentar os 10 da minha vida (que deviam ser 20 para caberem mais), um pouco por ordem de importância:

De Santos e Pastores

Foram anos de poemas declamados no colégio de freiras e de outros tantos a retalhar versos como se fossem só uma aglomeração de a-b-b-a e sinédoques - que identificamos com o mesmo entusiasmo de quem decora a lengalenga do teorema de Pitágoras. Até que um dia, depois todo este ruído, conheci o mestre Caeiro, e … Continue reading De Santos e Pastores

The Playlist Project: The Endless

Hi, my name is Marta and I have a playlist addiction. Songs about family, songs with a colour in the title, songs that reference mythology or scientific concepts. Songs in 3/4 time signature - I have one for them all. It's an entertaining way of releasing obsessive tendencies while discovering new music. Each playlist ends … Continue reading The Playlist Project: The Endless

Ilford XP2 B&W Disposable Camera

Words cannot express how much I miss affordable, non-disposable, analogue, point-and-shoot cameras. Ilford XP2 is 3 out of 4, so I'm sticking with it.

O Slogan Maldito

Deparei-me hoje com esta palermice de cartaz num tweet do irmaolucia e fui a correr confirmar. Era verdade, caros leitores: o CDS/PP de Almada (porquê especificamente o de Almada é uma boa questão, e uma à qual não sei responder) tinha um novíssimo cartaz para a sua campanha contra a eutanásia.: Digo "tinha" porque já … Continue reading O Slogan Maldito

The Endless Panel

Aside from the amazing depth and wonderful story, one of the reasons why I love The Endless is how great their are for art practice. From Dream to Delirum's hair, which I have been trying to get right for aeons, to the fabric in Destiny's cloak, Desire's androgyny and Despair's Buddha-from-the-underworld appearance. They're all wonderful … Continue reading The Endless Panel

Kodak Pocket Instamatic

We had a Kodak Instamatic 110 camera when I was kid, which was eventually replaced by something more modern - by 1989's standards. Being a lover of film and wanting something a bit more handy than a 1kg camera, I decided to search the interweb for a working sister of my old Instamatic. It cost … Continue reading Kodak Pocket Instamatic

fio fantasma

Sinto o mundo passar à frente e o passo dos meus pés presos com o peso de tempo soldado. Sempre me vi entre as palavras mas talvez as tenha tomado por certas.

(For the previous chapters, visit the Lady of the Sea's main page) Azov’s pirates had been sailing all night when their captain rounded them up to reveal the news as the sun came up. The big sea bear cleared his throat and tried his best to look cool and collected. “As you know," he began, … Continue reading ‘Lady of the Sea’ – The Mission

Song Illustration: The Right Words

Breaking my foot was, by far, one of the best things that ever happened to me. And, even though I set my crutches aside over a year ago, there's something about forced seclusion that makes you want to suck the marrow out of life as soon as you're able to walk the world again. It … Continue reading Song Illustration: The Right Words
