Nós na sala a vizinha a reclamar os jantares e as caipirinhas e a Joana e as leis e a Diana e o skype e a Mariana a chegar da faculdade entusiasmada e a Vanessa e a delicadeza. As historias da UERJ da Pina e as chegadas da Teresa ao fim de semana. E as piadas do Vasco a barata do Tiago em cima da mesa os planos do Nuno a descontração do outro Nuno e as anedotas do Luís. A calma do Diogo e os dilemas da Isabel. E a saudade.

Now I must tell you more of myself. I an unequivocally tall. I do not know any women who are taller than me. The women who *are* taller than me are lesbians, for whom 1969 was a very momentous year. For me, America is a first-rate place. Most of all, I am beloved of American movies, muscular cars, and hip-hop music. I also dig Negroes, most of all, Michael Jackson. He is a first-rate dancer, just like me. Many girls want to be carnal with me because I'm such a premium dancer. 

Everything is Illuminated

We choose none of the things that determine our lives: not the way we look or where we're born or our parents. None of them. We just have to cope with all the things we haven't chosen and which make us who we are.' My father told me that last year, when I was having trouble with just being me.

Une boteille à la mer de Gaza

Erga essa cabeça mete o pé e vai na fé

Manda essa tristeza embora

Basta acreditar que um novo dia vai raiar

Sua hora vai chegar

"It’s hard to deny that the act of living in another country, in another language, fundamentally changes you. And there’s nothing wrong with that; it’s often part of the reason you left in the first place. You wanted to evolve, to change something, to put yourself in an uncomfortable new situation that would force you to into a new phase of your life."

O tempo não pára.

"Well there's something I never told you about that night. While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last I was falling deep, deeply in love with you."
