E a idade que dificilmente achei que veria em vida chegou, afinal.
Resolvi facilitar um pouco o trabalho de todos: já arrumei a madeira, serrotes, os pregos e um (somente um) martelo. Tá tudo empilhado em frente da garagem aqui de casa. O morro do Bosômetro pode servir perfeitamente como Gólgota. E na verdade não me importo muito com quem será o primeiro a me pregar, contanto que seja feito exatamente às 18h de hoje - segundo dados de minha certidão de nascimento.
Se quiserem fazer revezamento nas marteladas, também pode. Afinal, não vai ser numa efeméride dessas que iremos deixar de lado o espírito de equipe, o coleguismo e as boas maneiras, certo?

Depois de vários telefonemas anônimos que recebi no meio da noite (onde do outro lado podia ouvir um silêncio furioso) e de um carro preto passar dezenas de vezes - lentamente - pela frente da minha casa, resolvi fazer a Top 5 que o Bruno solicitou.
Volume total de músicas em meu computador:
Zero. Por obra e graça de um HD desenganado pelos médicos. Que resolveu morrer e levar junto minhas músicas arduamente conseguidas de forma ilícita pelo slsk.
O último CD que comprei foi:
A trilha d'O Fundo do Coração. Importado, novinho e barato na Fígaro. Vão lá e comprem, cambada. Parem de roubar o coitado do proprietário.
Música tocando no momento:
Nenhuma. Tenho que reinstalar o WMP. Mas se estivesse, nesse momento, seria qualquer coisa do Lindomar, o Castilho.
Cinco músicas que eu ouço bastante, ou que significam alguma coisa para mim:
Tenho ouvido muito:
Cold Cold Ground (Tom Waits), My Coco (Stellastarr*), You Said Something (P.J. Harvey), The Whole of the Moon (Waterboys) e quase tudo que tenho do The Dears.
Quatro infelizes para quem passo a batata:
Fabón, Seu Jacó, Wilbur e Glauco. Pra esse último com a finalidade de desancorar o blog.
Pronto, Bruneaux. Agora ligue pro sujeito de quem você contratou os serviços de cobrança e peça pra ele retirar a faca do meu pescoço. Ainda tenho que tomar banho e ir trabalhar, porra!

Não costumo ter muita paciência com essas listas dos cem mais isso ou aquilo da história do cinema que surgem de tempos em tempos - sejam feitas tanto do lado de lá quanto do lado de cá do oceano. Principalmente por uma birra antiga que tenho: até hoje o Anjo Exterminador nunca apareceu sequer numa quadragésima colocaçãozinha dessas que fosse. Tsá.
Porém creio que dessa vez o American Film Institute chegou perto com essa lista que eles acabaram de divulgar das 100 melhores frases (ou os trechos de diálogos mais lembrados) do cinema. Agora, aqui entre nós: o que foi que aconteceu contigo quando o Leslie Nielsen disse aquilo pro Robert Hays no Apertem os Cintos o Piloto Sumiu?

Como criar um efeito O.J. Simpson
(errou. tente aqui, agora)
Glauco, desconfio que aquela tua sugestão ("tá certo! eu fumei mas não traguei essa piazada aí!") chegou até o Wacko Jacko, foi analisada, posta em prática e deu frutos. Para aqueles que, como eu, já antecipavam qual seria o próximo lançamento do rei do pop (Live in Santa Barbara's County Jail, ou algo assim), já temos em quem botar a culpa.
