the road that stretches out ahead...................

"Do you remember when we once believed that everything was forever, without knowing that forever always ends" 

(*) "Do you have $2? Do you have alcohol? Do you have egg? Pray for me?"

"The falling leaves drift by the window..."

"Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for 
Most nights I don't know anymore...

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style

That's alright
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win..."

(you can listen to it here)

From out of space...

Long time no see... about 8 months.
No, I did not plan to get away from blogging (which I love) but, somehow, life got in the way.
But, well, one had to come back, eventually. Right?
And after a few unsuccessful tryouts, here I am.

Let's see what we've missed out since Semptember 2012.
I saw the Berliner Ensemble perform (Lulu and The Three Penny Opera) directed by Robert Wilson and it was AMAZING. (Berliner ensemble performance checked out of my to do list)
Alonso did not win the F1 championship (even if it was very very very close), and I was really upset.
Had an unexpected and very pleasant visit from France (always miss my French friends), and now I have one of my best friends from my French University who's here in Brazil.
I turned 30 last December, and the world did not end in 21/12/12 (although turning 30 was quite close to it a few days earlier... lol)
Went to Bahia for new years on a quiet family party.
One of my childhood best friends got married and I cried my eyes out!!
Went to spend "carnaval" (mardi gras) in NYC with my french BFF big brother who I miss so so so so so much and we had a blast under the snow storm. Opera at the Metropolitan also got checked out of my to do list.
Nina was born! She is the cutest and she's one of my best friend's baby, so I feel I can call myself an aunt if I want to lol. And I'm longing for us to have a more accurate schedule compatibility, so I can spend more time with her and I already fantasize about how is it going to be years from now. :) (btw, if you read Portuguese, you can fallow her and her mommy's adventures here).
Joined a gym (the place where I don't belong) and started swimming again (4 times a week). I know all about the "no pain no gain" stuff. Hate the gym! But must keep going!!!
Work's crazy as always. (but I still love it) I'm crazier than ever! (and becoming a facebook expert. Watch out Zukerberg!!!) (if you have facebook, here it is)

Well, I guess that's it!
Some images for the road (I have so many rolls to develop that my iphone pics will have to do for now)

Working in such a sight...

The Twilight of the Gods season is almost over. But that doesn't mean, though, that I'm working any less (on the contrary).

Just needed to share some quick images (from my cellphone) of the alleys of the city thater... isn't it amazing to work in a place like this?

I'm sleepy and in need for some sugar (made apple pie yesterday - can't wait to get home), but have so much to do around here...

I better dash... (apple pie on my mind)

working girl...

I still need to share with you the NYC pics… I’m sorry, but I MUST do it! lol

Nevertheless, I decided to take a short break to be a little more up to date…

I brought HOLGA to work almost every day, but I’ve been running around like crazy and haven’t had time to develop the pictures. (for now I’ll just have to share some cell phone pics)

I must say I’m enjoying my lunch hours so very much! I get to wonder around the neighborhood (and it’s a quite nice one)… it makes me feel, almost, in Paris. 

Oh! the soundtrack of my week (I do listen to the same song(s) over and over and over and over again...)

killing time...

at the airport...

Daddy's going away on vacation and decided to take me with him. Actually, the whole reason of the trip was that I would come along... :o)
We're taking the american music road, from New Orleans to Nashville, stoping in Memphis.
Boarding in about about an hour... will read, comment and post as much as I can... 


For now, I'll leave you with a few images of my busy busy busy week...
wishing you all a lovely weekend!
