Trīsdesmit novembrī divi tūkstoši septiņpadsmit


* Bromford?

- Yes, Llama?

* Call me KussKuss.

- I don't think so.

* KossKoss?

- No way, animal.

* KissKiss?

- Never ever.

* Bromford, this doesn't work.

My dear readers, do you remember my neighbour, the walking and talking llama? It used to live downstairs in the apartment under my penthouse on the rooftop of the apartment building on 666 Whitaker Lane in Bromford, the friendly town by the bay and seaside. But it used the first occasion to move in with me. Do you remember the annoying animal that doesn't work and eats all my food although I haven't mentioned it in quite some time now?

* Who are you talking to, Bromford?

- Ahem, to no-one in particular.

Quiet now, my dear readers, and remember how the llama who calls itself 'KussKuss' used to say me and my blog didn't have readers at all...

* Bromford, this doesn't work.

- What are you talking about, Llama?

* Call me KussKuss.

- Not again, animal. Stop it!

* You meant, Stop Ir!

- Stop talking about Ir!

* Believe me, Bromford. It doesn't
work.

- Ir doesn't work. But you are right. I
don't see the direction. I don't know
what to write about. I forgot to count
the days. And I don't even know what
to think about. English on my mind.
But this is not my father's tongue.
The good old Klingon language always
breaks its way. And I was thinking
about another advent calendar the
other day, a countdown to Christmas
Eve, the Holy Evening, one of the
most important Christmas holidays in
central Continental culture. I thought
about another story about Nanuk,
one of my alter egos. But I lost tracks
and ideas and patience and good will
and temper and temptation...

* Stop babbling, Bromford!

- OK, tomorrow is the first day of the
countdown and I am doing something
different now. I am thinking about
Bromford, for a change.

* For a change? For a change? If you
want a change tear down those
damned red curtains. We are not in
Twin Peaks anymore, human! Tear
down that lodge.

- Ir is still in Twin Peaks. But wait and
see, animal. Wait and see...

Lapkritis dvidešimt devintasis du tūkstančiai septyniolika


* You're an idiot, Charlie Brown.

- I'm not Charlie Brown.
And I am not an idiot.

* But you wanted to post this post
yesterday, didn't you?

- Yeah!

* So, you are an idiot?

- Maybe. I keep on forgetting to
post on Tuesdays...

* Have you heard about Ir?

- Ir is back?

* Ir is back in town, yes. Ir's waiting
for you at the corner Whitaker Lane /
Maine Street.

- I don't like corner Whitaker Lane /
Maine Street.

* Does Ir know?

- Ir? Don't ask me about Ir!

Am Fong vum 25. November goufen zweetausendwiewegster


I have lost track again. Why the heck can't I remember to post on Fridays? I don't know. The say they've seen wolves in the little forests near our town borders. Or maybe lynxes. I think I saw a giraffe once or maybe a llama. Who knows? But I miss an animal in my life. Not too small, not to big. Not to slow and not too quick. Stop rhymin', Simon. Stop it!

നവംബർ പതിന്നാലാം തീയതി രണ്ടായിരത്തി പതിനേഴും

It's Sunday.
Sometimes I miss a llama.
And I am not prepared. Again.
Not prepared at all...

 ഞായറാഴ്ചയാണ്.
ചിലപ്പോഴൊക്കെ ഞാൻ ഒരു വീടിനകയില്ല.
ഞാൻ തയ്യാറായിട്ടില്ല. വീണ്ടും.
തയ്യാറല്ല ...

Enam belas bulan November dua ribu-dan-tujuh belas


My lawyer called me the other day and wanted to know if I could start asking and talking about Ir.

I hung up without a word, just staring at the reflection in the mirror in the hallway of my penthouse above the 15th floor of the apartment house on 666, Whitaker Lane in Bromford, the friendly town by the bay and seaside.

And I threw away the phone.

Nobody asks me about Ir!

Did you hear that?

Never ever ask me about Ir!

Erbatax ta 'Novembru żewġ elf u sbatax

I have never seen the light day. Mankind has been living underground for such a long time now. THEY did it. Ir did it. Don't ask me about Ir. But I own the ocean. I keep it in an old jar. Cockles and mussles and shells. Stones and sand. And something the old folks call feathers from something they call birds or seaguts. A dear old friend gave this jar to my dear old father long before THEY did it. Long before Ir made all of us, all men and women flee to the sewers, seal the entrances and hide and roam and grow in the darkness. The air is poison, the old folks say, and poison is the air. And that is why I've never seen the light of day...

पौर्णिमा…

Full moon…

The full moon is still calling me. This is the second autumn moon rising. Only one more and winter is here. A fat, yellow moon covered in clouds is creeping higher and higher over a jagged horizon. I cannot tell whether that dark wall he is looking over is the actual line of hills and trees or just another thick cloudbank. I am not familiar with this new scenery. And I already miss the friendly town and city by the bay and seaside. What am I doing here? Bromford is always on my mind. And I am playing the were-wolf here in the rural woods…

And always remember…
We all look at the same side of the moon…
