I'm Reading a Book

When you truly enjoy reading books, but you are living with a kid constantly trying to get your attention and a man desperate to see his makeshift family bond, you may have a problem. Or not if you have already changed your apathy into an art form. And Gabriel is behaving like a father hoping his kid would like his new girlfriend, only Justin is his employer and Julien is not his kid.

Seeing red & Seeing blue

Mr. Black, Mr. Brown and Mr. Grey all in the one photo (Mr. Red and Ms. Blue are still not available, despite the title). I just played a bit with 3D paper glasses... I wanted a family portrait, I got a family portrait.

むかしむかし…

(+ A story and a no snowing photo)

And all that you have left behind...

Život – to je těžký, strastiplný let
stěhovavých ptáků
do krajin, kde je každý sám.
A nikdy nazpátek.
---
Life is a hard and agonizing flight
of migratory birds
to regions where you are alone.
And whence there’s no return.

(Jaroslav Seifert, Engl. transl. Ewald Osers)

Go back to sleep

"Is that you? Come on in. I'm in dire need of a company."

Fire in the fireplace was dying, the room wasn't very warm and yet Vran was lying on his bed without covers. Bandages on his eyes made the whole scene look somewhat surreal.

Vran's forehead under Justin's palm burned like a furnace.

"You have got a temperature."

"I would also say so, "Vran admitted, "it was a poison after all."

"Maybe I'm also slightly hallucinating," he added reluctantly.

„To jste vy? Pojďte dál. Myslím, že nutně potřebuji společnost.“

V krbu skomíral oheň a v místnosti rozhodně nepanovalo přílišné teplo, přesto však Vran ležel na posteli nepřikrytý. Obvázané oči dodávaly celému výjevu poněkud fantastický ráz.

Vranovo čelo pod Lukovou dlaní pálilo jako kovářská výheň.

„Máš horečku,“ obvinil Justin Vrana poněkud překvapen svým vlastním gestem.

„Také bych řekl,“ připustil Vran, „koneckonců byl to jed.“

„Možná i trochu blouzním,“ dodal neochotně.

I can't tell the sun from the moon

[Last post before hiatus/Poslední příspěvek před dlouhodobým přerušením] Nothing could be further from the truth than to say Justin finds pleasure in sleeping late. His father woke up early due to his age and the whole household had to be awake before him. And Justin only followed the habit.
But now one cannot easily rise with first rays of sunshine when he is kept eyes wide open for the whole night. When the nightmares are coming into life seen in the corner of one's eye.

Nedělní odpoledne

"Mám strach, že jednoho dne si budu pamatovat jen orchideje a sbírku primulí. Už si sotva dokážu vybavit jeho tvář."

The ordering period was on Friday 3rd of Feb 2012 from 2pm (Korean time), in my time zone it's 6am, so I got up at 5:55, logged to their website, ordered one Macaron Cut (8-9) in Caramel Brown and proceeded to PP. I returned to the website after five minutes just to see the wigs are all SOLD OUT, in five minutes, really, woah.
