La Coco

26 de gener del 2023

He conegut la Coco Comín i ha anat de poc, perquè gairebé soc incapaç de trobar l'escola de dansa allà a Sarrià, està com amagada. De camí m'he creuat amb adolescents de classe alta, amb uniforme i aquestes coses. He passat per l'antic Orlandai, la plaça Artós... L'aire que es respira allà dalt és diferent, i més si hi vas quan no hi ha convocatòries de nazis, que pots caminar com una persona normal sense patir per si et rebenten el cap. És un barri benestant, i es nota només de caminar-hi 10 minuts. Però no em cascaré una xapa ara sobre les classes, els rics, ni faré cap comparació entre Sarrià i la Mina.

La cosa és que hi he anat a gravar un reportatge sobre el claqué i l'he entrevistat a ella. La conversa que hem mantingut ha estat molt interessant, és una dona molt crítica amb la música i la dansa actualment, considera que costa molt trobar coses "bones", que tot s'ha tornat molt comercial. Hi estic en part d'acord, perquè crec que segueixen sortint coses molt interessants musicalment parlant, entre tota la merda que es publica. De dansa no ho sé, perquè si ja de música no en sé però almenys per les orelles "em sona bé", del tema de ballar no en tinc ni puta idea.

Al vespre he anat al Condal a veure 'Júnior', que la fa el Joan Pera i la dirigeix el Joel Joan. Només entrar he vist que el públic amb el que compartiria les següents 2 hores (comptant entreacte) de mitjana deurien sumar 80 anys. I he pensat "ai cagun déu, on m'he ficat". Però he de dir que he rigut bastant, i que m'ha sorprès gratament. Passes molt bona estona i serveix, un cop més, per certificar que el Joan Pera és un geni. És d'aquella gent que ja només els veus i ja et fan gràcia.

hey bestie, what’s the book about adhd you’re reading called?

'Is it you, me or adult a.d.d' by Gina Pera (and Russel A. Barkley). im like 30% through and im not sure how i feel about the book yet. it's mostly from the perspective of partners of people with adhd but also the partners with adhd and those who both have adhd in the relationship (they also explained why the title says add I don't remember why it was lol) and sometimes im like... maybe you guys just have communication issues unrelated to your partner's adhd lol

i think it's objective enough tho and i got to it from watching a presentation by russel a. barkley on youtube that helped me A Lot so i thought i might check out stuff he's (co?)written too. it's divided into paragraphs by topics in a way that makes sense to me so it's easy to read but i take a long time to read nonfiction books so ive been reading this since the beginning of this year lmao

other books abt adhd on my reading list rn are:

'Taking charge of adult adhd' by russell a. barkley,

'Thriving with Adult ADHD: Skills to Strengthen Executive Functioning' by Phil Boissiere

'Help for Women with ADHD: My Simple Strategies for Conquering Chaos' by Joan Wilder

Hotel Riverside

“Pero cuando terminaron de mandar las peras a las plantas de envasado y los lúpulos de la finca de los McClellan ya llevaban seis semanas levantados, ella todavía no se lo había dicho a nadie. 

-Creo que no quieres -le dijo por fin Everett-.Creo que no te quieres casar conmigo.

-Ah, querido. -Ella le besó la nuca y le pasó un dedo por el espinazo-. No eres tú.

-¿Qué es?

-Es todo el mundo. A veces no me quiero casar con nadie. Hay tardes en las que me quedo tirada en la cama y la luz entra por las persianas y llega el suelo y creo que no quiero salir nunca de mi habitación. 

-Tendrás una casa entera. ¿No es mejor?

Ella le dio una palmadita en la cabeza y miró a lo lejos, río abajo.

-Es la casa de tu padre -dijo al fin, intentando asirse del argumento más cercano, aunque no fuera el que tenía en mente. 

-Construiremos otra casa si quieres. ¿Te gustaría?

-No lo sé. -De pronto estaba harta de intentar hablar con Everett-. Creo que no entiendes lo que quiero decir. 

Él se apartó.

-No, creo que no.

Lily sintió, tan físicamente como sentiría un dolor de cabeza, el peso de la vulnerabilidad de Everett. 

-Claro que quiero -dijo ella en tono inexpresivo-. Ya sabes que quiero. 

Aunque acordaron que Lily ya se lo habría dicho a Edith y a Walter Knight para cuando Everett viniera a comer el postre con ellos esa noche, ella no se los había dicho. Era imposible decírselo, le susurró a Everett al abrirle la puerta. Aceptando esto como un hecho, él se levantó de la mesa de Walter Knight y se llevó a Lily en coche a Reno esa misma noche de octubre, la noche en la que cayeron las primeras nieves del año en la Sierra Nevada, e hizo que la declararan su mujer en nombre del Condado de Washoe y el Estado de Nevada. Los testigos de ceremonia fueron la mujer y el hijo del juez. El hijo se puso una vaqueros, con la bragueta abierta, por encima de su pijama a rayas marrones; la mujer, despertada en contra de su voluntad pero obediente, sonrió adormilada y le dio unas palmaditas en el pelo a Lily. Lily, que todavía no había cumplido los dieciocho, se pasó la ceremonia convencida de que el hecho de haber mentido sobre su edad invalidaría el matrimonio, lo anularía todo. Sin lagrimas, nada irrevocable, un simple malentendido cortés entre conocidos que se llevaban bien. Más tarde, desde su habitación del hotel mandó un telegrama que decía “Casada con Everett ahora en el Riverside de Reno vuelvo pronto con amor Lily”. Por muchas extravagancias que cultivara, los telegramas largos, no se contaban entre ellas. Everett llamó a la finca para decírselo a su padre, pero quién contestó el teléfono fue Martha.                                                           

Tapando el auricular, Everett se dirigió a Lily, vestida con la misma falda y el mismo pulóver que había llevado en la cena, sentada en el borde de la cama cuyas sábanas tenían bordado el nombre Hotel Riverside.”

Joan Marc

Any rere any, en Joan Marc proposa una cuina basada en productes de temporada, de molt bona qualitat i del seu entorn més proper, sempre seguint el receptari mallorquí i el seu bagatge culinari. Actualment, ofereix un menú “De Tast” on simplement has de triar si fer 3, 5 ò 8 plats i, com a alternativa, un menú “De Tapes” més informal.

Com sempre, vam triar el menú “De Tast” de 8 plats. Aquest últim àpat va consistir en: la “sopa freda de pera amb pernil d’ànnera”, una sopa de pera deliciosa amb un punt de porro com si es tractés d’una vichyssoise i acompanyada d’una escuma de crème fraîche; el “pastís de déntol amb salsa tàrtara”, un pastís fet amb una massa tipus quiche en el que la salsa tàrtara li donava el punt salat que necessitava, encara que no vam trobar del tot ben harmonitzat o homogeneïtzat; l’ “albergínia retxada amb sobrassada de porc negre i mel”, tant l’albergínia amb mel com la sobrassada eren bones per separat però resultaven una combinació que no ens va acabar de convèncer; la “sopa de carbassó amb negret, alfàbrega i pinyons”, una crema de carbassó deliciosa que dignificava un peix tant humil com el negrito; la “porcella de porc negre rostida amb figues confitades de Costitx i amb fons de carn”, un plat ben melós que fa un petit homenatge a la cuina medieval mallorquina. A continuació, el ja clàssic “brossat casolà amb llet fresca de vaca” que acompanya de dues maneres: amb olives negres i oli d’oliva o amb confitura de figues i ametlles; i, per sucar, pa de 4 llavors, de rosella, sèsam, lli i pipes de gira-sol. Per postres, el “corte helado de gerds amb festucs”, una extravaganza de fruits vermells; i la “tarta fina de melicotons amb pasta de full i franxipà”, un exercici molt interessant que barreja dues pastes ben tradicionals que va resultar excel·lent. 

Una proposta confortable i consistent que cada any ens ve de gust anar seguint.

COVID19 DIÁRIO DO ÚLTIMO DIA ANTES DA SEGUNDA FASE DO DESCONFINAMENTO : hoje num domingo solarengo quando atravessava a cidade deserta rumo às compras tive o choque da notícia da morte do José Cutileiro .Fomos amigos muito próximos durante longos anos desde e dele terei que escrever um obituário que não cabe agora e aqui. A imagem que a televisão mostrou nesta notícia é a do Zé de 1971 autor de “A Portuguese Rural Society” publicada pela Oxford University Press, em 1971, que viria a ser traduzida e editada seis anos mais tarde (1977) em Portugal, com o título “Ricos e Pobres no Alentejo”.

A data é também histórica pelos amantes do canto lírico pois Brigit Nilsson, nascida há 100 anos em 17 de maio de 1918, foi a cantora dominante da sua geração e uma das vozes mais emocionantes do século XX. Deslumbrava nos papéis mais exigentes das óperas de Wagner e Strauss. Com reservas de poder e resistência ilimitadas a sua voz de aço subia como um feixe de laser ,sem esforço , acima de qualquer orquestra .Nilsson foi aclamada durante mais de 30 anos nas maiores casas de ópera mundiais cantando os papéis mais punitivos : Brünnhilde, Isolde, Elektra, Salome e Turandot..Deixo para escuta uma célebre ária de Elizabeth em Tannhauser .

Na culinária foi tempo para uma repetição . Tal como nas ementas dos restaurantes neste dois meses do confinamento certos pratos favoritos são obviamente repetidos . Um dos meus é o bife de atum magro braseado com sementes de sésamo . Foi acompanhado por um excelente vinho branco o verdelho DSF da colecção privada Domingos Soares Franco , um branco luminoso de grande complexidade aromática,com persistência no palato característica da casta, excelente relação fruta acidez e um final de prova longo.Recomendo vivamente.

Parte da tarde foi ocupada a ver o filme La fuerza de un silencio (Casals, la força d'un silenci o Pau, la força d'un silenci ;é um filme catalão para a TV de 2017. Dirigido por Manuel Huerga e com o actor Joan Pera no papel principal é baseado na vida do violoncelista Pablo Casals e foinomeado para melhor filme de televisao no Gaudí Awards de 2018.

Pablo Casals era considerado o melhor violoncelista do mundo em meados da década de 1940 quando teve de se exilar em Prada de Conflent, onde tentou ajudar famílias republicanas necessitadas Depois da guerra terminar Casals esperava que a vitória dos Aliados também significasse o fim da ditadura de Franco em Espanha. Mas os desejos de Casals não se realizaram e então o maestro decide não voltar a tocar em público enquanto Franco continuar no poder e as potências ocidentais não decidirem forçar sua queda. O filme é muito sóbrio a interpretação de Pera extraordinária e constitui um documento de grande interesse para qualquer melomano democrático .

Quanto aos números a evolução continua favorável . O boletim da DGS Indica um número de casos confirmados de 29.036,( ontem 28.810) aumentando apenas 0.8% ), O número de internamentos cifra-se em 649, (ontem 657) e em UCI 108, ontem 115. A letalidade mantém-se . A média móvel (7 dias) do aumento diário em novos casos 201, (ontem 188) subiu ligeiramente, mas nada que inspire preocupação, até porque "casos confirmados" não significa mais do que isso mesmo, por isso, nada de ansiedade! :

COMECEM A DESCONFINAR SEGUNDA FEIRA MANTENDO A SEGURANÇA !

Pebrero 12, 2020

Handang-handa ako at ang learning material ko para sa Grade Six, pero may mga kaganapang nagpabago sa mood ko at sa mood ng mga estudyante.

Sa Love, nagpanood lang ako at nagpaaktibiti. Tahimik naman nilang ginawa iyon.

Sa Peace, nagmagic ako habang nagpiplay ng vlog. Namangha sila nang ginawa kong pera ang papel. Later, nireveal ko ang secret.

Sa Charity, tinakot ko sila, gamit ang face mask ko. Tinititigan at nilalapitan ko sila isa-isa habang may pinagagawa ako. Nagsign language lang ako. Epektibo naman. Nagmagic din ako sa kanila, gaya ng sa Peace. Nagpalaro ako g 'Piling Lucky,' pero walang nakasagot sa tanong ko.

Sa Hope, gamay ko na ang mga ginawa ko sa dalawang sections. Nagselos lang sila nang mabasa nila ng shoutout ko para sa Faith. Nagulat din sila sa magic ko.

Sa Faith, kung saan inaasahan kong magiging mas masaya ako, siya namang kabaligtaran. Magulo at maingay sila. Kasalanan ng apat na estudyanteng galing sa Peace. Nainis ako, kaya hindi ako nagsalita..Kahit pinatatawa at pinangingiti nila ako sa pamamagitan ng pagtawag sa akin ng 'Sir Pogi,' ay hindi ko ginawa.

Nagsorry naman ang mga Faith, pero wala akong emosyon. Isinulat ko na lang ang lesson at activity.

Gusto kong magbago silamg lahat. Mahalin sana nila ng bawat aralin.

After lunch, nag-stay ako sa Grade One tambayan room. Nakipagkuwentuhan ako at umidlip.

Past two, pumunta na ako sa AF para magworkout. Doon, inakala kong nawawala ang P1000 bill kong ginamit sa magic. Naichat ko pa sina Ma'am Joan at Sir Renerio. Iyon pala, nasa cellphone casing ko.

Past six na ako nakauwi. Hindi ko na natapos ang isang vlog dahil sa pagod at antok. Isa pa, nagchat kasi si Mareng Janelyn at Miss Nida. Kinailangan kong magreply. Haist!
