Rainbow child

Today I’m being selfish. Very selfish. “Today I’m racing only for myself. Today I’ll catch my golden fish again.” Today it’s all about ME.

I ate an orange today. My first orange this autumn. I took it in my hand and just smelled it. It had that so very obvious bitter-sweet smell. I took a knife and cut it: one, two, three, four, five long cuts. Then I gently peeled it… A squirt of juice started to drip from it and I licked it. I did it with passion, with desire… not a single drop of my precious orange was wasted. Finally, there it stood, naked in front of me. But it had just a little more to wait. I gathered all the peels and rubbed my hands with them. I simply love the way my hands smell afterwards. Only then was I ready. I took the orange in my hand, tore a segment, smelled it and bit it. It was a wild, deep bite. Now the peels are spread all over my desk… the smell has invaded my room and the taste still persists in my mouth… it was my first orange this autumn and it was great!

On another, worldlier, topic I had such a nice day today. I went with Jen to Carturesti [lovely, lovely place!!!!] and drank a Sweet Orange tea. We talked about lots of things and not only book related topics as you might think. Some people are just so much fun to hang out with. Things like this always make my day.

Now some recommendations and then I’ll be off to bed. If you haven’t found out by now, BOOKAHOLICS  [www.bookaholics.jubjub.ro]is the perfect place for Romanian book lovers. It has been recently initiated, but we’ve already got a reading circle and a book ring going. So, take a look. The other blog is a personal one and belongs to K_t [www.theattentivedreamer.blogspot.com]. She’s a sensible woman, who talks about books, theatre plays, movies, friends. It’s a very nice well-written blog.

That’s about all. Night!

Ps. It seems that my “link to” button doesn’t work! Damn blog.com!
