so many
There's so much that happened lately and so much I want to tell but the words just don't come out. Gue udah lose the ability to form coherent story deh kayanya; apa karena kerjaan gue sehari-hari banyak involve storytelling and narration? Jadi kalo udah di luar studio, otak gue udah malas stringing the words and pictures to together. Ngga mau membuat content lagi dan maunya consume content :)
Memasak
Kemaren chatting sama Mas Ote yang memang sudah lama ngga ketemu. Paling saling ketlisut di forum saja. Chatting sambil masak, seperti biasa. Kalo musim panas gini biasanya appetite kita menurun; too hot too eat jadi kita banyak makan yang light aja, seperti salad, sandwich, kadang zarusoba. Banyak makan gelato juga sih.
Gue kangen makanan Indo. Pengen makan rawon. Pengen makan gudeg. Pengen makan daging empal. Mmm, apa lagi ya? Ketoprak sayur. Ini kok masakan Jawa semua ya? Kadang gue pikir bahwa I would probably be better at cooking Indonesian food if Robert had been Indonesian, then he'd want me to cook Indonesian dishes.
Little green dots
So Skype was down this week, but it wasn't what I was really missing. Everyone's gone off on holidays, and I miss my "dailies", the people I work with, usually translated into little green dots and Growl notification bars. Andrea and Tal (who I miss physically too, because the three of us made up the 'Milan team'), the terrible twins Dona and Halli, and oddly enough, Mark.
Gue juga akhir-akhir ini kan sering ngobrol sama Gaya dan Karen di London. Walopun ngga lama, dan isinya paling cela-celaan tentang orang lain tentunya, ahahaha doang, the words across my screen provides me dengan semacam emotional tanda sayang.
It was getting depressing, so in a way I was glad Skype went down and I didn't have to think about the gaping void that was my main communication and presence channel.
Teenage kicks
Pernah liat film 'The Virgin Suicides' ngga? I think the opening shots captured perfectly moments dari summer kita di tahun 1992. Masa-masa angsty, tapi full of lust for life, awakening, discovery.
Gue ngga tahu apakah gue merasa flattered, touched, awkward atau gimana, ketika someone from my blurry past mengatakan bahwa dia selalu berharap akan bertemu gue lagi ketika gue pindah dari US, Gue ngga tau apa mungkin dia punya unresolved issues atau memories yang membuat dia confess itu semalam. Anyway...
We lay on our backs in the grass
Silently watching the rain clouds move by far too fast
You said it was a night where anything could happen
But nothing was gonna last
And we're doing fine now yeah we do
We don't feel sad or bad or blue and you know
We ain't never defeated
Not broken inside all that is fine
Yeah all that is fine
