Kit·blog — 37th

Museum lobby, Berlin. View large on black.

Counting the squares that I step on—everybody does—don’t ask me why.

Anyway.

The trick is to avoid the black ones and to keep away from the floor drain for as long as possible.

Although sooner or later you’ll have no choice—because The Big Bastard won’t allow you to step on the same square twice.

Kit·Blog Notes — Honest-to-goodness

Sat, 03 May 2008 00:00:25 +0200

So many blogs are crap that the two substantives—blog and crap—will soon be synonymous. But every once in a while you find a post so honest-to-goodness and beautiful that it single-handedly exonerates the whole damn category.

Kit·blog — Writing

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:17:03 +0200

Writer working at Cafe Wintergarten in Literaturhaus, Berlin.

As a hopeless office inmate, I often fancy the idea of working in a public space—a nice café like Cafe Wintergarten at Literaturhaus¹ in Berlin—but I never actually try doing it. I wonder whether its mild noise of dishes and chatter would inspire or rather distract.

Moreover, I just learned that my preferred café in Bucharest, Crem Cafe Royale, has been acquired by a local restaurant chain and will be murdered in order to make room for another mediocre luncheonette with greasy spoons.

While passing by it, I’ll murmur —The price of progress!, and I’ll keep looking the other way.

¹ Right across the street from the Leica Store—even looking through its window inflicts serious damages to a bank account.

Kit·Blog Notes — Bunny spam

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:56:17 +0200

For many companies, Orthodox Easter is a great opportunity for sending tons of crappy e-mails that are written worse than most unsolicited mass mailings commonly known as “spam.” The Easter greetings filter cries to be invented.

Beth Gibbons at Portishead live performance, Cristian ·Kit· Paul, Edinburgh, 2008.

The concert was heart wrenching beautiful—way beyond what my writing skills will ever allow me to express.

God, how could I possibly forgot that film—with all its grain and scanning pain—feels this fucking amazingly great?
