Jetrosexual - security.

"The people who are not flyers can drive you crazy - at security, you wait forever for them to empty their change into the little bin. The flyers have got it all down. They zip through the process."

Jetrosexual - The new jet set.

"Start at the golden dawn of commercial air travel: A time when the airplane was a majestic luxury ship that sailed through clouds, and when passengers dressed up and swilled cocktails on their way to exploring a newly accessible world. These fortunate few were the 'jetsetters' of their day, and their progeny (not yet born), would be the jetrosexuals of a later age. But between those two generations, much about the flying experience would change - some for the better, some for the worse."

"21" von Gastbloggerin Shaun

radiant body, enrapture me.
depressed strings, violin bow
mercilessly
drawn across the expanse of my back
song of yourself made manifest
sweet symphony, arrest me.
make me your own.

Geschrieben von Gastbloggerin Shaun aus Chicago, merci.

"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

Oh Buddha, I'm mad as hell,
nothing but vegetable in my brain,
fat chance that I am going insane,
it must be Appenzell, oh bloody hell.

Titel von Howard Beale in Network, USA, 1976 - Dieser Eintrag ist dem Eagle gewidmet. Möge er eine grosse Flügelspannweite ausweisen. Flieg' Eagle, flieg'.

Thinking about salad, a lot.

Green-white stuff in the salad spinner,
Dutch carrots on the floor,
Olive oil dripping from the door,
Salad is not a real dinner.

Einen Florence machen XIV.

Modell Darkness.

Beim heutigen Florence ist eine Zeitung zwischen die Kleider geraten. Die berichtete über Schmutz und musste auch gewaschen werden:

"Switzerland is known as a haven of peace and neutrality. But today it is home to a new extremism that has alarmd the United Nations. Proposals for draconian new laws that target the country's immigrats have been condemnd as unjust an racist. A poster campaign, the work of its leading political party, is decried as xenophobic. Has Switerland become Europe's heart of darkness?" (The Independent, 7 September 2007).

Es wird Zeit für einen grossen Herbst-Florence.
