your lips.

보았니? 너의 입술은. 밤의 비릿한 바람에 젖어 말 오므린 채 안타까이 불씨가 꺼져가던 나의 입술을. 그날 그 시간의 혀만이 안다. 젤리처럼 말랑말랑한 입술 안에 단단한. 어둠을 향해 앙다문 너의 흰 이빨을. 기억하겠지? 너의 입술은. 그날 네 입술의 포옹 속에 두근거리던 나의 입술을. 너의 검은 가지에 활짝 핀 한창때의 목련꽃 아래 자줏빛 그림자. 너의 입술에서 뾰족이 움트던 혀는 바라보았지. 그날 밤보다 더 어두운 입술 내부의 어둠을. 너의 입술은 먹으면 끊을 수 없는 독을 갖고 있지. 양귀비꽃 같은 너의 입술을 먹고 극도로 긴장한 나의 신경은 들판에 풀을 뜯는 소처럼 독이 퍼져가는 온몸을 느리게 움직이며 너의 입술을 열심히 뜯어먹는다.

내 몸은 너의 입술에 서서히 중독된다.

고요하고 뜨거운 여름 바다 위에 떠 있는 부드러운 구름은 너의 입술이다. 해안선을 따라 수많은 파도에 방금 씻긴 젖은 조약돌은, 바람에 맞서 일어나는 물결은, 바다의 하늘이 경계 없이 새파란 공간에 아련히 한 점 떠 있는 먼 섬은 너의 입술이다. 서쪽 하늘에 붉은 입술 시울로 나타나 저녁의 공간을 따뜻하게 뎁히면서 모든 심장에 펌프질을 해대는 노을은 너의 입술이다. 세상에서 향기 있는 모든 꽃들은, 꽃들을 찾아 돛을 펴고 항해하는 모든 나비들은 너의 입술이다. 음식을 만드는 불, 쇠를 녹이는 불, 집과 산과 바다와 하늘을 태우는, 세상 모든 것들을 변화시키고 소멸시키는 불은, 너의 입술이다.

너의 입술은 다른 세계로 가는 입구이다.

i walked into such a sad time

rediscovering cream at the dutch fashion awards.

yummy

i love these.

the outlook was decidedly blue..

today i woke up with a horrible hangover,
got the big scary pink slip at work,
came down with a naaaasty cold,
and in general felt like i was having the worst day of ma vie.

so i scrubbed and scrubbed whilst listening to ella fitzgerald and louis armstrong. i learned that magic eraser and scrubbing bubbles make a great team.

and tomorrow will be a better day.
bonne nuit. x

p.s. how is ahrensburg?

qualalalalalaladrilingual.

the greatest thing in inglourious basterds = this guy. i love people that have a working knowledge of three+ languages. and no, not the kind of "working knowledge" fibs you put on resumes.

At Cannes, Tarantino said that had he not discovered Waltz, the film might have been scrapped entirely. "I knew whatever actor I cast to play this has to be as much of a linguistic genius as Landa is or he would never come off the page," Tarantino said. Landa seduces his prey with his words and speaks fluent German, English, French and Italian. Other actors "could do the poetry in this language, but they couldn't do the poetry in that language. And they had to be able to say the poetry in every language," Tarantino said.

Waltz wasn't faking — he really can speak all those languages. But he is characteristically modest about his abilities, unlike his evil alter-ego, who presents them with flourish.

But he does boast: "My oldest daughter speaks seven! I come from a small country, and we sometimes need to employ another language to get things. So it's not that big of a deal to speak various languages."

um...i come from a small country too. where did we go wrong?

1996

melankolee time #1 the drink of our childhood

errry korean child of the 80s must have some memory of coming home to a nondescript black plastic bag hanging on the doorknob. we got yakult delivered daily for as long as i can remember, along with denmark milk (more on this later.) the 'yakult ajumma' is your personal yakult deliverywoman, usually in her mid 30s-early 50s and covering a specific route.

they wear uniforms:
and cart around the yakults on something like this:
if you moved to a new hood and wanted to start delivery, or wanted to change your delivery number, you would have to track her down and ask in person. because the yakult ajumma had her own schedule and was quite the elusive character, it was a big old hassle. the ajumma also did not like it if we made too many changes.

typically we got two yakults delivered a day, sometimes three. in the summer you put the yakult in the freezer and ate them as popsicles. you'd have to peel the top part of the plastic off because a teaspoon would not fit all the way. we pretty much raised that to an art form.

ACE yakult came out while i was in middle school. we switched to this one because it claimed to have more bifidus cultures. it is preferred partly because you can fit the spoon all the way down to the bottom without peeling the top off. sadly i haven't been able to find it anywhere in new york. i have to say that dairy options are generally inferior here, even though yakult is more like cultured sugar water than anything in the dairy category. i would sign up for delivery in a second.
