on the verge

回来了，回去了. the hours in between. a trying, an attempt, to make sense of it all, or, digestion, reflection, but, no tripod, or quick thinking, books on a table, and the weather, the weather, apologies, it might have been more interesting, to you, had i made recordings, a spontaneous idea from a flight on sterling, a quick purchase at hema, yet a nasty view of the hotel swimming pool at the holiday inn topkapi, and a continuous falling asleep, the inability to get up at the crack of dawn, and a fear of hotel personnel, so then your memory (always fails) for the last (four) hours before the dash for a forgotten jacket – “i’m only here for a day, i don’t live here anymore, i don’t think it would work out for your greenpeace promotion.. sorry….” in haste forgetting thoughts of afore: contemporary swedish souvenirs: svensson jeans and henry geldzahlers words: “russians are the worst expats, no matter how long they’ve been living in another country, 20 years or more, they’re still yearning for russia.” and yes or no quotation marks, alternate shots, dot dot, wipe, dot dot, wipe, and ‘child’ might have been better than ‘baby’, a shock at the dinner table, and the wonders of photoshop when misspelling words in foreign languages, and perhaps one should stick to single lines in future… …but thank you very much for your words, it was nice to see you (again)…

wee1.jpgwee2.jpgwee3.jpgwee4.jpgwee5.jpgwee6.jpg 《任天堂公司停止生产了老版本的机器，出了新的就有更严格的防止盗版的技术。暂时中国还没有黑客可以破解，不过相信很快就会有人破解。新版其实还是很便宜，大概只有1800RMB。但是因为不能玩盗版，所以在中国就等于没用的机器。老版的又停产了，现在越来越少，我们现在卖2200元。是最便宜的。你可以到外面去看别家他们都卖2400，或者你干脆等两个月，等新版的wii也被破解了。肯定能降到2000以下》

“If you had bought one a few months ago, you could have even gotten it for 1680 rmb. now they’ve come out with a newer model, but we haven’t yet broken the code on it so that it can play bootleg games. These are the last of the old wii, so the price has been going up. ours are 2200 rmb. you can look everywhere else if you want, they are charging 2400. we’re the cheapest you’ll find right now. if you really want it cheap you can wait a couple months, after the hackers have cracked the new machine; the price will go down again.”

right place to be

IMG_1738.JPG
i like e’s room.when once i step into her room, i feel the flow of time changing.i feel how she is spending her own time, it’s very strong.a month ago, i asked her if i could take the pictures of her room. i wanted to memorise how the objects are placed.i think she takes enough time to look at the things around her and finds right way to deal with them.all objects in her room contain those time in their bodies.
