Ray Bradbury (August 22, 1920 – June 5, 2012)

Yesterday was information that died one of the most talented writers Ray Bradbury. He was 91.It's great loss.

His official site HERE

His book "The Martian Chronicles" has for now only one adaptation in 1980 as TV series. You can read it HERE on IMDB. There are plans for another adaptation in 2013, but more info is only for subscribers HERE . Eh... You know who I'll see in one of the characters. They have birthdays in this same day. Maybe this is sign?

Her husband appeared in a triangular door. “Did you call?” he asked irritably.

“No!” she cried.

“I thought I heard you cry out.”

“Did I? I was almost asleep and had a dream!”

“In the daytime? You don’t often do that.”

She sat as if struck in the face by the dream. “How strange, how very strange,” she murmured. “The dream.”

“Oh?” He evidently wished to return to his book.

“I dreamed about a man.”

“A man?”

“A tall man, six feet one inch tall.”

“How absurd; a giant, a misshapen giant.”

“Somehow”—she tried the words—“he looked all right. In spite of being tall. And he had—oh, I know you’ll think it silly—he had blue eyes!”

“Blue eyes! Gods!” cried Mr. K. “What’ll you dream next? I suppose he had black hair?”

“How did you guess?” She was excited.

“I picked the most unlikely color,” he replied coldly.

“Well, black it was!” she cried. “And he had a very white skin; oh, he was most unusual! He was dressed in a strange uniform and he came down out of the sky and spoke pleasantly to me.” She smiled.

I just love his 451 Fahrenheit my fav book and movie. There are pearls! I love everything what is connected with dystopian societies. But 451 is very close to me. For 5 years I'm living without television. Only couple of times for these years I was watching, but only for most important things.. like Richard on TV ;D

If I'll be a book.... I was thinking about it many times, but maybe this one "I, Jedi" by Michael A. Stackpole. Book is from 1999 and really hard to buy. Why I like this one....Hmmm.... this book is like some kind of diary writting in first person. I like see this in somebody's eyes. Maybe isn't classical big book like e.g. "À la recherche du temps perdu" or Orwell's "1984", but I like it. Or "Jane Eyre".... ???

"Fahrenheit 451" (1966)

Bits, Bites, Bums, Boobs

I'm resting and eating Polish apples: Red Jonaprice, sweet, from Biała Rawska (Polskie Sady site HERE). Mutants of Jonagold with high level of anthocyanin (HERE) Red Jonaprince was discovered in 1994, in Netherlands, in Weert by G.Princen. "An additional advantage is the excellent storage of the fruit and outstanding durability in the course of trade. Fruits due to the extremely strict, fine-grained flesh retain a long shelf life and attractive appearance. Tree naturally grows vigorously and forms a loose a spreading crown. Recommended for the production of dwarf rootstock." ;D

Dwarf Fruit Tree HERE ;D
BTW Do You know about Thorin to plant? HERE

At last I have new wonderful books :) "Wives and daughters" by Elisabeth Gaskell and "Shirley" by Charlotte Bronte

So -20C outside.

When is -10C is nice :) You only have to have:

T-shirt, polar fleece blouse, leggins and standard: boots, jeans, jacket, socks.

When is -15C You have to change T-shirt on something warm e.g. slim cotton blouse + polar

When is -20C You have to have all 3: T-shirt + slim cotton blouse + polar.

When is -25C You just have faith that this will end soon.

Outside You should use Lip Balm. This one is made by Warpaint Cosmetics London and of course is peach. (Warpaint ???) In home You can make cozy mood by using Cedar Touch, I should say Cedar Flame - Cedar and Orange and Cinnamon home perfume. These are my fav from Pachnąca Szafa HERE

Try to read more books e.g. maybe some from J.G. Ballard? ;D RA is talking about him in one of his interviews before Robin Hood Audiobooks. I have "Rushing to Paradise", "Kingdom Come", "Hello America", "High-Rise". I hadn't time to read this author before. I was much more focused on Huxley and Bradbury.

Still being the woman I remembered about new earrings. These green are my project :) Made by very nice lady in shop with parts to jewelry. The others which look oriental are for practice my ears wear something heavier.:)

I just found this DVD - LOTR behind the scenes, not watching yet :) Waiting for something like this with The Hobbit :)

And something hot for this cold day :) There are many versions of this song but this one is very close to orginal.

Tito Nieves - I like it like that

Broken Myth for boys and girls: boobs 75C not exist.
Not Myth: Girls like boys' bums.

Italy on my plate and other busy bits

Today I'm resting after very tired week. I have to wait for some free time till November. Eating this time

Fruit Sticker 4021: Apples, Golden Delicious from Italy HERE

I was today on small shopping :) and now I have earrings made in soutache technique. They are not heavy. They are made from silk tape. Plus I have nice charms with bear and Big Ben :)

And at last I bought "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury in secondhand. His "Fahrenheit 451" is my fav and I love movie based on this book. BTW main character has first name: Guy ;D

Oskar Werner as Guy Montag

I'm hunting for some plant which is called Hobbit (Crassula Hobbit or full "Crassula portulacea f. monstruosa 'Hobbit'"). Don't worry George and Georgina are OK :)

"Crassula portulaceae is nicknamed the hobbit jade plant or the gollum plant because the leaves of the plant look like hobbit fingers. It is a succulent (...)"

Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks

Robert’s got a quick hand.

He’ll look around the room,

He won’t tell you his plan.

He’s got a rolled cigarette,

Hanging out his mouth

He’s a cowboy kid.

Yeah he found a six shooter gun.

In his dad's closet

With a box of fun things,

I don’t even know what,

But he’s coming for you, yeah he’s coming for you.

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,

You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,

You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”

Daddy works a long day.

He be coming home late, yeah, he’s coming home late.

And he’s bringing me a surprise.

‘Cause dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed in ice.

I’ve waited for a long time.

Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger,

I reason with my cigarette,

And say, "Your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah?"

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,

You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

You better run, better run, outrun my gun…”

“All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,

You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.”
