SUGAR HIGH
Tonight was one of those manic nights induced by the catering smorgasbord. It is easy to get bored on the road and food becomes the entertainment. Everyone is grumbling about all the bread and cheese, but tonight it was all about the sugar for me and I was bouncing off the walls. If only there had been a video camera to capture my comic monologue which erupted at the dinner table, but alas, the cameras are never there when something funny or interesting is happening.
Now I am listening to Sarah Vaughan, Shirley Bassey, Cat Power and all my favorite singers as I type away on my laptop, dreaming of Monday when we get to go HOME! We are in Neuchatel, Switzerland, and tomorrow we head for London. The tour has been a great success, and everyone is in good spirits, though exhausted. We don’t have our bus anymore, so the challenge is: how do I consolidate all of my bags and things back into an acceptable FAA approved package?
Only two more shows, and I don’t know if I will have a chance to write again before we leave. So a big thanks to Ralf, our bus driver, for shepherding us safely and smoothly around Europe. And thank you to Pete Plympton, Gilles Gagnepain, Christophe Comte, and Charlie Bradshaw, the fantastic production team! Green tea, skim milk and flowers in every dressing room. Reverb in my monitor at all the right moments. Keys to lock up my valuables. Big brothers I never had...
This is devolving into a high school yearbook page, but I just want to say that you guys are the best.
And, of course, Thomas makes everything possible...and he is so cute!
–China

Au sto sam umornaaa


nije lako biti sefica :)

Nesto nam fali

Kazu da zena mora da ispuni ona tri kosmicka uslova da bi bila:
1. zena
2. pozeljna zena (jer ako si vec zena moras biti pozeljna, inace ne postojis, bar kao zena)


Dakle, ne znam ni kojim redom da ih postavim: perfektna i pikantna kuvarica i domacica, pa posle prve i verovatno za njih (muskarce) najbitnije odredbenice, odmah zatim se zena vidi kao odlicna u krevetu (namerno izbegavam rec ku*va iz razloga sto se zena koja je dobra u krevetu naziva odmah pogrdnim imenom, dok se dobar ljubavnik stavlja na tron i okace mu lovorike na nesto ili oko necega). E, sada pored svega navedenog, ta zena mora biti (ranije) dama (danas) riba za prikaz, sa drzanjem, znanjem manira, jezika, dobrim poslom, sve u svemu jedna mocna zena.
Teorija jedne moje prijateljice, koju oznacavamo ovom prilikom kao Dr N. je otprilike sledeca:
`Zena ce omanuti`..u jednoj od tri navedene stavke. ALI UVEK.
Drugim recima, ako vam je u kuhinji odlicna i u krevetu jos bolja, dragi moji nece moci da bude I uspesna u karijeri. Nece imati ni vremena, ni inspiracije, a takodje ni snage…
Ako je dobra u kuhinji I na poslu, pasce umorna u krevet I to mu dodje to, znaci nema nista od provoda ni veceras, ni sutra…
Ako je dobra u krevetu I na poslu, verujte, ta ne zna nista da skuva, niti je zanima. Take away rules, my dear :) once again!
Zato, uzivajte u svojim pozeljnim dobitnim kombinacijama, jer su za vas dobitne kakve one jesu…I ne fali nista sto vam zena nije kosmicki savrsena, jer bi bila savrsena ljubavnica, umirisana na zaprsku I u mislima, dok se blizi orgazmu, negde blizu poslednjeg rebalansa budzeta.

Kenozoik

Uzalud me budis u pola 6
Nema nigde nikog i nemamo kud
Od onoga sto vidim mi ponestaje dah
Ostaje da ostanemo gde smo sad
Cini mi se nesto te oduzima
Glasovi mi govore da si to ti
Pristajem da pogledam te prvi put
Trazim zbirku bobicavih skriljaca
Reci mi, kenozoik nije za tebe
Crvene sam povukao granice
Oci su se navikle na filmski mrak
Pustam sve da stoji jos jedan cas
Mislio sam da je dobro biti par
Cini mi se oduvek sam bio glup
Glasovi mi govore eta kanjec
Zelim da se oduzim ko spin dim
Vrlo lep je ovaj kraj koncentrican
Reci mi, kenozoik nije za tebe
Ti si stvorena za sve te stvari
Uzalud me budis u pola 6
Nema nigde nikog i nemamo kud
Svetosavska blaga ruka kaze put
Avgustovsko plavo sunce pubes luks
Cini mi se nesto te oduzima
Glasovi mi govore da si to ti
Ovde je i rano jutro plameno
Sva ta govorancija, pa to je to
Reci mi, kenozoik nije za tebe
Ti si stvorena za sve te stvari ...
