Former freelance web developer Barbara Jacob was on the verge of breakdown because of appalling customers behavior and the huge mortgage she had to repay for all her foreseeable life. So one day she escaped to London, where she isn't happier but at least she can keep the wolf from the door. Well, and now that we are here, what we will do with our life?

Category: Aki Kaurismaki would do it better Wishing you well

This year I wanted to write a proper letter. We know each other since ten years (only? seems since my entire life) and I always remember his birthday - in recent years helped by the fact that the day is also the expiry date of my email domain :).

But I didn't. I have enough mental intimacy with him, I could narrate nearly everything of my present life, I could tell him that I cherish the memories of all the time spent with him, that he will always be dear to my heart. That there is one particular thing that I miss of him - his way with words, the fact that he always meant what he said.

Is maybe for that reason that I haven't written much? My email can be translated into "Happy birthday, and many kisses". He has replied "Thank you, and I reciprocate the kisses".

Such paucity of words, between the two of us, used to be a meaningful, and strangely satisfying exchange. Now that I think about it, it still is.

I enjoyed the laughter

I enjoyed the laughter of the poets
as they greeted me.
But I won't be seen here for long.
You won't be, either.

(from The Book of Longing, Leonard Cohen)

- Acca qualcosa.
- Acca uno.
- Acca qualsiasi?
- Voglio l'acca uno.
- Non mi fido di te.
