…the iPod Touch… uh…
The discussion of proverbs and sayings on the Thursday before last (Book 10 can be all right, after all) got me thinking about the seemingly impossible magic trick that is seeing yourself. The paradox that is being at once the one who is familiar with every last detail, every last flaw, the keeper of every secret and the one who’ll never get to be outside looking in.
Knowledge requires being able to see from at least a few different angles. And that’s a limitation we simply cannot overcome when the subject is ourselves.
‘It’s difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame,’ as the proverb that set the thought in motion goes. If the frame is merely a situation, there’s always the hope that you might extricate yourself from it to gain objectivity. But if the frame is your very self, what then?
For those unfamiliar with the line, you can find the scene it comes from below.
I haven’t bee writing nearly as much as I’d like to so to try and make up for lost time and for missed words I figured I’d at least do my best to come up with some decent captions… 8-|
1) I don’t remember noticing it the last time I was there but those are the exact same tiles (except for the color) that cover the floor of the hallway outside my dad’s place in CF. Whoa.
2) Ronny checking his e-mails and dreaming of flying to Vitória because the tickets are only 90R…
3) Robbie working on the noms while listening to a sad boy with a guitar
4) Comfy Urca living room
5) Books and… what’s in the bottle?
6) In the midst of all that blue and all that red, I saw the shadows.
7) A little piece of Amsterdam hanging on a blue wall
8) One day I’m gonna take those pillows home…
9) Silhouettes will NEVER be ignored. Not while I’m around.
10) Jujubes and sunlight.
11) An unfriendly, premeditated affront to end all affronts. And no, Ronny, that’s NOT an orange. >:(
12) Smiley ‘taters in need of some SPF 50
13) Frango de padaria e farofa de ovo… Mmmmmm…
14) O ‘noturno’ ali do lado
15) Ronny as a cross between Norman Bates and some alien creature
16) Random shot of the floor
17) Yikes…
18) One’s gotta take advantage of great lighting when holding a camera … and refrain from staring at the wall (if it’s not too much trouble) when on the other side of the lens.
19) See? Atta girl…
20-25) Late night serenade. Mostly 90’s stuff. Woo-hoo, Ron-ny!
It should be duly noted that the night officially came to a close outside with our witnessing the catching of a [bleep]ing WATER SNAKE!!! Sadly, no shots of that. We apologize. :(
Thank you very, very, very much.
