Donations

Trevor @ Wednesday October 1st 2003 13:43

I’d like to thank all (OK, both) of you who clicked on the beer graphic and ended up donating last month. I spent many hours pondering how to spend your probably not particularly hard-earned dollars. Was it to be Paden’s Introduction to Old Occitan? Or should I indulge a life-long ambition and purchase a season ticket for Espanyol? In the end I had a couple of drinks and bought a cheap lamp for the cat to warm her bum. If someone donates something this month, I will consider plugging the lamp in and turning it on.

As will be clear from the accompanying photo, the purpose of this exercise is to transfer merciless mog’s sense of territory to a slightly less strategic bit of real estate. Apart from her trying to knock the cursor fly off my screen, she’s started defending herself vigorously against me when I come back from lunch and find her crouching on my keyboard, under my lamp, listening to Pastor Dick’s version of Doris Day’s version of Que Será, Será on my media player.

LY: yes, of course, but bring a hose and a ladder.

  • March 21 1848 

    En Barcelona como en otras partes comienza hoy la primavera, que en honor de la verdad no suele ser aqui la estacion mas hermosa del año. Cierto que ya los árboles comienzan á echar hoja, y que la linda y olorosa violeta alfombra los jardines y ribazos, y que le hacen cortejo otras flores; per...

Josep Pla, Palafrugell (1918-9)

  • 21 de març de 1918 En aquest paĂ­s tenim un costum molt curiĂłs. Quan ens trobem, al carrer, dues persones, cara a cara, no tenim, a penes, res a dir-nos. Però, una vegada acomiadats i fets set o vuit passos, se’ns ocorren tot d’una una sèrie de coses urgents a dir a la persona que hem deixat fa un moment. [...]
  • 21 de març de 1919 Inici de la primavera. Biblioteca. Tot traduint Renard penso que Ă©s mĂ©s important dominar un ofici qualsevol que posseir una curiositat dilatada, vastĂ­ssima. La curiositat es pot improvisar; un ofici, no. La curiositat Ă©s superficialment agradable, però deixa una certa buidor amarga per dintre. Un ofici Ă©s monòton i pesat, però tĂ© moments d’una voluptuositat [...]
