Now playing: Coming around again, Carly Simon

Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

You pay the grocer
Fix the toaster
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
burn the Soufflé
Scream the lullaby

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again

Nada mais permanece do que a lembrança de um prazer, ou o luxo de um remorso.

Xtra-Pine Cures Women's Sexual Fantasies

The cleaning hunk
You'd have to agree the whole sex-in-advertising thing leans heavily in favor of men with most sex-based ads containing hot, untouchable women conjured from the fantasies of male art directors. It's very rare, in fact, to find an ad that turns the drool-inducing strategy on its head and caters to women. Perhaps it's because the industry adheres to the stereotype that only men are the horny ones, easily swayed by the lure of sex. Maybe it's because women are superior to men and don't let their lives revolve around the need for sex. Or maybe it's some weird Darwinian thing where, due to the forces of human procreation, men just have to have it more than woman.In the case of Xtra-pine's Cleaning Hunk, it just might be the acknowledgment that women - as much as men have the same fantasies about women - would love to have a ripped, six-packed hunk of sexual studness get down on all fours and clean their floors while slowly removing his clothing.

Up close & personal

Adoro o verão. Há muito menos roupa para engomar.

Dá-me Um Beijo, Amália Rodrigues

Talvez por muito amar a liberdade
Invejo a vida livre dos pardais
Mas prende bem teus braços sem piedade
E eu juro da prisão não sair mais.

Não posso ouvir o fado sem vibrar
E não domino em mim a febre de o cantar
Mas dá-me um beijo teu fremente
Verás que fico assim, calada eternamente.

Adoro a luz do sol que me alumia
Por grata e singular mercê de Deus
Mas fecha-me num quarto noite e dia
E eu troco a luz do sol pelos olhos teus

Não posso ouvir o fado sem vibrar...

Baixinho aqui pra nós, muito em segredo
Eu sempre fui medrosa até mais não
Mas pra que sejas meu não tenho medo
Nem mesmo de perder a salvação.

Não posso ouvir o fado sem vibrar...

Chagal: Amoureux au Bouquet

Now playing: Amazing, George Michael

I was mixed up when you came to me
Too broke to fix
Said 'daddy get you gone, I'm missing my baby'
Still missing my baby

I was stitched up by the hands of fate
Said how you gonna make it on your own
If luck is a lady?
Maybe luck is a lady

I was going down for the third time
My heart was broken, I was not open to your suggestions
I had so many questions
That you just kissed away

Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing,
The way that love can set you free

So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think it's amazing

I think you are amazing

You tried to save me from myself
Said 'Darling, kiss as many as you want!
My love's still available
And I know you're insatiable'

We're like victims of the same disease
Look at your Big Bad Daddy, and your mom
And your mom...was always acting crazy

I was going down for the third time
My heart was broken, I thought that
loving you was out of the question
Then I saw my reflection
Saying please don't let this go

Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing,
The way that love can set you free

So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing

Celebrate the love of the one you're with

Celebrate, this life with you baby
I think you should celebrate yeah
Don't put your love in chains baby
No no, walk in the midday sun
I thought I was dreaming
I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing

I said celebrate the loce of the one you're with

As this life gets colder
And the devil inside
Tells you to give up

Marriage VIII

I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Lord Byron

Marriage VII

I married a German. Every night I dress up as Poland and he invades me.

Marriage VI

A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.
Andre Maurois

The importance of being Oscar Wilde

The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.

The importance of being Oscar Wilde

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.

Marriage II

Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Now playing: Love and Marriage, Frank Sinatra

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can’t have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It’s an institute you can’t disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it’s elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It’s an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can’t have one, You can’t have none
You can’t have one without the other

Marriage I

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne

To catch a thief V

Frances: I called the police from your room and told them who you are and everything you've been doing tonight.
Robie: Everything? The boys must have really enjoyed that at headquarters!

To catch a thief IV

Frances: I have a feeling that tonight you're going to see one of the Riviera's most fascinating sights.
[pause]
Frances: I was talking about the fireworks!
Robie: I never doubted it.
Frances: The way you looked at my necklace, I didn't know...
[fireworks]
Frances: Even in this light, I can tell where your eyes are looking.
[fireworks]
Frances: Look, John. Hold them. Diamonds... The only thing in the world you can't resist. Then tell me you don't know what I'm talking about.
[fireworks]
Frances: Ever had a better offer in your whole life? One with everything?
Robie: I've never had a crazier one.
[fireworks]
Frances: Just as long as you're satisfied!
[fireworks]

Frances: Well, I'm not.

To catch a thief III

Robie: Danielle, you are just a girl. She is a woman.
Danielle: Why do you want to buy an old car if you can get a new one cheaper? It will run better and last longer.
Frances: Are you sure you were talking about water skis? From where I sat it looked as though you were conjugating some irregular verbs.
Robie: Say something nice to her, Danielle.
Danielle: She looks a lot older up close.
[Robie whimpers]
Frances: To a mere child, anything over twenty might seem old.

To catch a thief II

Frances: You want a leg or a breast?
Robie: You make the choice.

To catch a thief I

Robie: You don't have to spend every day of your life proving your honesty, but I do.

Desmentido

Miguel Sousa Tavares desmentiu a autoria da resposta aos 'homens e os minetes'.
Também achei estranho porque ele não costuma entrar em polémicas baratas, sem que lhe paguem.

Os homens e os minetes

"Minha Cara,

Tenho, sinceramente, muita pena de si...

Em primeiro lugar, tive a pena de constatar que só se sentiu realizada, ou
minimamente realizada, em 20% dos minetes que lhe fizeram. Concordo consigo
quando diz que os homens devem perguntar às respectivas se estão contentes
com o seu desempenho. Nesse caso, porque é que assume claramente que finge
os seus orgasmos? Das duas uma, ou a menina nunca foi "comida" como devia,
ou então, coitadinha, não tem mesmo jeitinho nenhum para o sexo. Nós,
homens, também lhe podemos fazer, por exemplo uma estatistica de quantas
mulheres são ou não boas na cama. Ou quantas fazem ou não, bons broches. O
que nunca lhe vamos poder fazer é fingir um orgasmo. Isto, claro, se
conseguir que atinjamos um.

Acredite que há muitos homens que perguntam as parceiras se estão contentes
com o seu desempenho. E acredite também que a maior parte dos homens não
teve que ler um manual para fazer bons minetes. Apenas teve que os fazer,
uma e outra e outra vez. Só com treino se consegue melhorar a performance
minha cara.

Em segundo lugar, informo-a que, caso ainda nao tenha percebido, o que voçê
está a fazer é, muito simplesmente, a aumentar o número de homens que
pratica mau sexo. Vo cê e as mulheres como vo cê. Ora repare: se vo cê finge
um orgasmo de cada vez que está com um homem, em primeiro lugar, está a
fazer com que o homem acredite que realmente percebe do assunto (Sim, há
homens que nao percebem). Em segundo lugar, está a fazer com que este mesmo
homem, não se esforçe o suficiente para agradar a parceira na relação
seguinte. Penso que estamos ambos de acordo, quando digo que uma situação
destas não é agradável, nem tão pouco desejável , certo?

O meu conselho, se o quiser aceitar, é: Faça mais sexo!!! A sério, penso que
você precisa. Mas faça mais sexo sem fingir orgasmos. Vai ver que a sua vida
sexual melhorar exponencialmente, e excusa de se vir queixar para as
revistas. É obvio que nem todos os homens lhe vão dar um orgasmo, ambos
sabemos isso. Mas vão tentar, isso , eu garanto...

E já agora. Informo-a também que não é assim tão raro uma mulher pedir ao
"querido" para fazer assim ou assado. Não julgue todas as mulheres por si,
"Dra. Ruth" .

Um Cordial abraço,

Miguel Sousa Tavares"

Woman, John Lennon

Woman I can hardly express,
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,
And woman I will try express,
My inner feelings and thankfullness,
For showing me the meaning of succsess,
oooh well, well,
oooh well, well,

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And woman hold me close to your heart,
However, distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
oooh well, well,
oooh well, well,

Woman please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again,
I love you, now and forever,
I love you, now and forever,
I love you, now and forever,
I love you...

Destak de hoje

Stanley Kubrick

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
Stanley Kubrick (06.07.1928-07.03.1999)

And now for something completly different

iBuzz. The music-activated orgasm machine.

Críticas

Qual é o melhor crítico de teatro? O rabo. Quando não nos dói a peça é boa. O melhor crítico musical é a espinha: quando sinto arrepios, a música é boa. Com a literatura será diferente, porque não são possíveis orgasmos ao longo de 300 páginas.
