all we want, baby, is everything

an hour before the gig we were sitting in sofas upstairs at the bar. a couple of more people, dan and alexei sipping drinks just by. i was focused on screens where they showed bjork's concert, the one after vespertine was released.
sounds from downstairs got us to follow them, where basta - really promising and enjoyable latvian indie rock band was playing.
very soon handsome furs got on that tiny dare-to-call-it-a-stage of depo. starting with the first until the encore song each of them was an explosion. no slow-downs, no time to relax our attention. they were sexy, loud, fun. they played songs from face control and my favorite Handsome Furs Hate This City from previous lp plague park. dan kept on saying paldies after each song and again i can say that latvian crowd is the best ever. crg is still flying some meters above the ground.

just spending them moments.

couple of days, couple of weeks actually i have been thinking of moving away again. just to move somewhere. i am not sure if moving to another apartment would be enough to satisfy this thirst for planning, dreaming, leaving, settling. i feel it stronger than i am. of course it makes me also dig deeper what is it that leaves me unsatisfied here. i love this city (more in a daytime than nights though), i have my family and best friends here. i know also that any new place would leave me frustrated for some months, it takes me some time to accept and start feeling welcomed... i could explain it with my weekness of living in future (past also - less but still), ignoring the present. at least i know i am really bad with enjoying the moment.

however it was, only after some months back in riga, i am looking for another city to go. can somebody tell me what i am running from/after?

addicted

my way today back home led past my library. well it is not my personal library but just an ordinary public library. anyways i call it mine. i had not visited it for a half of year or even more and even knowing that i won't have much time to read i went in. what a world. the building is old and rooms are not spacious at all, but I love to walk in the aisles and touch the backs of the books. i love to have a small chat with ladies working there. sometimes i envy them having this job. they recommend me some new books and this time i pick two. one is about marianne faithful, a life story about this diva. another - about china and the secret of silk.
the sun is shining, the spring has settled and i am walking home with 900 pages to read, thousands of sentences. i'm gone, ciao.
