Wednesday bookmarks, June 1

June already?! Spring went by so quickly this year - I guess it's because of the long winter. Anyway, june is here, and it starts off with a very long weekend that we're planning to spend in beautiful Dalarna. Can't wait!

I also have some very exciting news for the blog that I'll tell you about in a few weeks - I think you'll like it!

Now, to some bookmarks. Not that many - but a few. First, a very good-looking baguette from one of my favorite bread bloggers, Pain de Martin. (In Swedish.)

Joy the baker has made what might be the most decadent cupcakes I have ever, ever seen: Chocolate, Peanut Butter dough and Toasted Marshmallows.

After that, it's time for something healthy. How about a lentil salad for non-lentil lovers, with onions, peppers, raisins, parsley and corn. I think it sounds delicious, and am thankful to Kicki for posting it. (In Swedish.)

I keep all of my bookmarks here. For non-food-stuff, I've just started using Pinterest!

To my rapidly vanishing "Twenties"

Now I think I realize what Daphne Du Maurier meant when the Protagonist at the end of the book says rather wistfully I’ll Never Be Young Again. I found this poem while browsing some site last evening. I fell in love with it right at the first line though the very essence of it only came to me after two, three readings. I took a print out home and made my Mum read it. Every once in a while I find some poem which appeals to me or touches a chord somewhere and this one did as I approach the end of my twenties in a little over two years. Okay yes two years is a long time but even then I feel somehow me and a some of us were happier people a couple of years back. The World was going to be our oyster. I say it still will be but that joyous feeling seems to be absent. Now the realities somehow bite me more. Happiness as a state of mind has to be maintained and worked at. Such is life. Some myths have been shattered, dreams broken into fragments but trying to be rebuilt again. That passion and zeal almost vanished in the middle. We were silly, wild and happy 23,24 year olds and we thought the world was at our feet and we shall conquer it all. The follies of youth I tell you. To be 23 again. Sigh! Here’s to my rapidly vanishing “twenties” and maybe Cheers to the approaching "Thirties". Hope you maybe as interesting and in some ways a little less harsh.

To My Twenties

How lucky that I ran into you



When everything was possible


For my legs and arms, and with hope in my heart


And so happy to see any woman—


O woman! O my twentieth year!


Basking in you, you


Oasis from both growing and decay


Fantastic unheard of nine- or ten-year oasis


A palm tree, hey! And then another


And another—and water!


I’m still very impressed by you. Whither,


Midst falling decades, have you gone? Oh in what lucky fellow,


Unsure of himself, upset, and unemployable


For the moment in any case, do you live now?


From my window I drop a nickel


By mistake. With


You I race down to get it


But I find there on


The street instead, a good friend,


X— N—, who says to me


Kenneth do you have a minute?


And I say yes! I am in my twenties!


I have plenty of time! In you I marry,


In you I first go to France; I make my best friends


In you, and a few enemies. I


Write a lot and am living all the time


And thinking about living. I loved to frequent you


After my teens and before my thirties.


You three together in a bar


I always preferred you because you were midmost


Most lustrous apparently strongest


Although now that I look back on you


What part have you played?


You never, ever, were stingy.


What you gave me you gave whole


But as for telling


Me how best to use it


You weren’t a genius at that.


Twenties, my soul


Is yours for the asking


You know that, if you ever come back.

Kenneth Koch

Edolas Arc is (Y).

EDOLAS IS COOL MAN!


A bit slow because I already watched the episode yesterday but only logged in to rave about it now. Triple Lucy!


Eh....... but I still don't like Juvia.


Firstly she likes my Gray-sama.
Secondly, she keeps sticking to my Gray-sama.
Thirdly, she bullies my Gray-sama because Edolas is reversed and it became that my Gray-sama likes her.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

You have to find your own peace. You can’t let all this noise get to you.  All this is temporary. Even this feeling of upheaval is temporary. Don’t let this cloud your senses or your mind. This isn’t it and it was never going to be it. You are more than all this brouhaha. This doesn’t define you.  You are more, way more. You are not about to lose your identity with this. This is just a momentary state of mind and time like tide will change like it always has.
