Intermezzo 7: A La Carte Emotion
I dip my soul in her cafe au lait...
Fari Nasution @ Washington, D.C., March 2006
[This is just my way of saying that I'm hungry while listening to Terry Callier's "No More Blues". I know it sounds silly. But the weather in Washington, D.C. sucks! I was enjoying the sunny, cool breeze of spring when suddenly it turns back to winter, and plus it's cloudy outside. The sky is gray. I actually created this poem this morning, around 10:00 AM but I decided to hold it back for a while so I can upload "No More Blues" as well. Probably then you can grasp the emotion that lies underneath the poem and the song. Sigh, you can never trust weather.
Another lazy day at the office. Only few people here, the "grand manager" isn't even here. My co-worker who used to share her works with isn't here yet. The good thing is that, today's Friday, I get to wear short sleeves and jeans to office. Tomorrow, a whole day of wushu practice: barehand, short-weapon (broadsword), and long-weapon (staff) forms. I still can't do the staff's figure-8 and upper-cut right because of the trauma getting my left eye poked (or precisely hit). I thought my left eye would be blind for sure (20 minutes of having blurry visions on your red left eye that kept on shedding tears surely is freaky. I'd rather get my other parts of body hit by a staff instead of my eyes.). Since then, I always wear my glasses (which I rarely wear) whenever I practice with staff. Anyway, should I do tai-chi too? It's been a while since I did tai-chi as I don't wanna mess up my wushu forms (these forms are getting complicated once you're in the intermediate level and they expect a lot from you as if you were a professional wushu athlete.) On the other hand, I feel kinda guilty to my tai-chi instructor, it seems that I'm sort of a moody student.
Oh, one more thing, the theme of next week's American Idol is "The Music of the 50s". I think Elliott should sing The Platter's "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" (or The Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody". But I don't like this song.). It perfectly suits his vocal character. Anyway peeps, enjoy your weekend!]
