Futurisme ??? juli 12, 2008

Jeg har lige fået en lækker ny mobiltelefon, og da jeg så sad i metroen på vej hjem fra arbejde igår, skulle jeg lige tjekke kameraet ud. Det kom der dette billede ud af:

På Annies blog bliver der fra tid til anden drevet en ondskabsfuld hetz imod forfatteren Peter Høeg.

Som en hyldest til en af Danmarks bedste forfattere, vil jeg derfor citere et par linier fra “Fortællinger om natten”:

Det er med blid ligegyldighed jeg ser på det faktum, at jeg lever i en verden der snakker så hurtigt, at den er nødt til at trække vejret med røven.

Hvor er det bare en fantastisk skarp karakteristik både af fortælleren og af det samfund, han er en del af. Hatten af for PH!

Så er jeg nået igennem film nr. 2: Charlie og chokoladefabrikken, og selvom det vel nok må kategoriseres som en børnefilm, er jeg dybt forelsket. Jeg elsker farverne, musikken og lokaliteternes lidt kulisseagtige udseende. 

Normalt er jeg egentligt ikke så meget til den genre af film, men den her er bare så vildt flot, og så er Johnny Depp bare fantastisk i rollen som Mr. Wonka.

hvad skal jeg ellers sige?

En rigtig feel good oplevelse.

Og nå jo… så er der jo de fantastiske lærerige sange fra oompa-loompaerne, som man heller ikke kan andet end elske.

Søren Rasted (ham fra Aqua) var for nogle år tilbage engageret i et musikprojekt, der hed Lazyboy. Da jeg idag sad og hørte P3, ramte nostalgien mig. De spillede nemlig sangen “The facts of life”. En dejlig lille ørehænger med mange fantastiske facts.

Jeg var igår ude og løbe DHL-stafetten med mit arbejde inde i Fælledparken. Det var en rigtig hyggelig aften, og sjovt at prøve at løbe med løbenummer og depeche i hånden. 3688 hold stillede til start klokken 18:00, så med ca 1000 hold efter os, må det siges at være en succes. Vi var 5 kvinder på mit hold, der deltes om de 25 km. Det gjorde vi på 2 timer og 23 min. Det giver godt 28 minutter pr. kvinde, så det er da meget pænt, når man tænker på, at jeg helt sikkert ikke har løbet den på under 30.

Det advokatkontor, jeg arbejder på, ligger på Strøget i København. Det er et fint, fint sted med overflod af gratis kage, frugt og drikkevarer til alle medarbejderne. Flere gange i løbet af dagen må jeg forlade denne lille verden af polerede kaffekander og fine jakkesæt for at hente eller bringe noget. Hver gang, jeg går ud af vores port, er det første, jeg ser, en ældre herre, som sidder på sin papkasse med et skilt, hvorpå der står skrevet “Jeg er sulten”. Jeg bliver så ked af det, hver gang jeg ser ham, og samtidig fyldes jeg af en magtesløshed, for hvad kan jeg gøre for ham? Jeg gik hen til ham en dag og spurgte, om jeg kunne købe noget mad til ham, men han pegede på sit øre, og jeg forstod, at han var døv. Ved hjælp af fagter fik jeg dog alligevel lov til at købe manden en kop kaffe og lidt mad, men det kan jeg jo ikke gøre hver dag. Alligevel sidder manden der hver dag, og han er sulten og ensom og døv og hjælpeløs hver dag. Det er ulovligt at tigge i Danmark, og jeg har da også set politiet fjerne manden flere gange, alligevel får jeg dårlig samvittighed, hver gang jeg passerer ham.

Scott Krippayne har skrevet en udemærket sangtekst, som har rumsteret lidt i mit hoved på det sidste:

Saw his old weathered fist holding on tight to that brown paper bag
Pressed it up to his lips and took another sip in the rain
He was mumbling words on the edge of the curb with his eyes to the ground
I would’ve walked on by but I thought I heard him say

I am Jesus
I’m your mother, father
Sister, brother
Your son and daughter
You can pretend you don’t hear me
You can say I don’t exist
But I am
I am Jesus

I admit right at first I thought he was just some crazy old fool
‘Til he carefully shifted his gaze and looked up at me
I recalled an old phrase from back in the days as his desperate eyes sunk in
Something about whatever you do to the least of these – you do to me

Repeat Chorus

There’s no way
Could it be
I don’t know
Maybe he
Was some sort of homeless angel
With a message just for me
