Bloomsday

Bloomsday bogotano armado de fragmentos a medio realizar - como ese nadador de la foto en Sandycove lanzándose al agua, aún suspendido en el aire. Suspensión y quietud aparente - a la espera del estrepitoso golpe con el agua fría y las olas. Inicio del 16 enviando el globo al aire, leyendo trozos de Rilke a la medianoche - admirando su consistencia que lo llevó a aislarse del mundo para escribir en una torre abandonada del Valais, sin luz eléctrica ni agua corriente, armado de su pura convicción... read more

We went to Spokane this last weekend so Melissa could run Bloomsday again. I haven't been running, so I didn't run.

We have stayed there twice before and really enjoyed it, so I was all for it. Well, the first time...

Yesterday was Bloomsday! If you don't know what that is you can read about it here . Here is a fun fact: when I very first met The Girl she was reading Ulysses for a James Joyce seminar in college. We spent some time snuggled together reading it. I didn't understand most of it but I like the part where the cat gets to have some milk. The other news today is that I re-listed some items in my Etsy shop . Go take a look and see if anything strikes your fancy! Thanks for reading my comics! 

Блу́мсдэ́й, День Блу́ма (англ. Bloomsday, ирл. Lá Bloom) — четверг 16 июня 1904 года, день действия романа «Улисс» Джеймса Джойса, отмечаемый его поклонниками как праздник. 16 июня 1904 года состоялось первое свидание Джойса и его будущей жены (с 1931) Норы Барнакль, горничной отеля Finn’s Hotel, поэтому писатель решил увековечить этот день в своём произведении.
