Naiv.Super

Another great book of scandinavian literature. This is a book of Norwegian Erlend Loe.

The story follows a young man in his mid-twenties, who becomes confused by life and quits university. He becomes fascinated by modern scientific theories of time and relativity but also with a childish activities like repeatedly throwing a ball against a wall. To break this he visits his brother in New York, where he finds a new sense of meaning in life.

Every person could find herself in this book because everyone in some period collapse in desperation and find his life completely lacking of anything. She makes you to find a new interest in reading .

She is example of simplicity. And she explains very well that . There’s no need to try hard and make things more complicated when you can be childish sometimes and ignore that.

« This book is naive. This is why it’s super. »

I read this book when I need something to cheer me up . And she does that so good that I’m little sad when the book ends.

«  I feel I am on high for the first time in a very long while I have a feeling that anything can happen. This morning I woke up thinking everything could happen, that things would just come to me , and that they would be good. »

«  Something is going to have to happen. Not necessarily something big. Just something. »

The missing piece

The missing piece is a story about circular creature that is missing a wedge-shaped piece of itself.

It starts an adventure to find his missing piece, to complete itself and it sings all the time .

" Oh, I'm lookin' for my missin' piece

   I'm lookin' for my missin' piece

   Hi-dee-ho, here I go

   Lookin' for my missin' piece."

At the end of its adventure, he finds his missing piece, but then he realizes that it can no longer do the things like before and it leaves the piece and continues alone.

Because a person without a search loose ends and becomes too smooth to enjoy and to exchange things with outside.

One serbian band Oruzjem protiv otmicara, named one of his albums after this book.

Sandals with the socks

Fashion can be strange sometimes and for someone wearing sandals with socks could be horible.

But you can wear heels with the socks and look very stilish. You can mix colors and prints.

Here are some propositions

But it is tiny line between looking fashionable and looking horible.

LOS CHURROS

A churros or tejeringos - spanish doughnuts.

It is a fried - dough pastry - predominantly choux. It's a mixture of flour, water and salt, but you can also add a little of lemon or vanil sugar. It is something similar to turkish tulumba just without sugar - sweet syrup.

They are very popular in Spain, the Philippines, Portugal, Latin America, US, but the french people are simply crazy for them. 

You can find them at the street vendors.

You can eat them with sugar , but they are great with hot chocolate and a cup of coffee.

Tower of Miotte

Visiting the tower by the night was incredible. Before Lion of Bartholdi, that was a symbol of Belfort. The first mention of the tower was in 1679. The tower was a part of medieval castle and it was used like watchtower. She's probably date from 13th century. Tower of Miotte has several stages and the last is from 1947, when she was renovated by ancient prisoners from Second World War.

Today  it is important monument of Belfort and gives a beautiful view on the city.

Kelly watch the stars

"My star will just be one of the stars for you. And so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens....they will all be your friends."

I like the stars because the way they shine.

I like the stars because I love to stare into eternity.

I like the stars ........they can't say nothing.

I like stars. They are illusion.....they are always flaring up and caving in and going out. They are fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust...... but at the moment they are like trees in the forest, alive and breathing.
