please untie my silence knot

My silence knot is tied up in my hair,
As if to keep my love out of my eyes.
I cannot speak to one for whom I care,
A hatpin serves as part of my disguise.

In the play, my role is baticeer,
A word which here means "person who trains bats."
The audience may feel a prick of fear,
As if sharp pins are hidden in their hats.

My co-star lives on what we call a brae.
His solitude might not be just an act.
A piece of mail fails to arrive one day.
This poignant melodrama's based on fact.

The curtain falls just as the knot unties,
The silence broken by the one who dies.

My Silence Knot -- Lemony Snicket (The Beatrice Letters)

library card

Keuntungan memiliki library card adalah:
1. Gak perlu mengeluarkan banyak uang untuk membeli buku (yang bisa aja gak selesai dibaca karena tiba2 ilfil sama bukunya di tengah jalan)
2. Gak nyimpen banyak debu
3. Bisa baca buku apapun, sepuasnya
4. 30 buku bisa dipinjam dalam jangka waktu 3 minggu. Sejauh ini kayaknya gue udah lebih dari 30 buku yang gue baca sejak gue buat library card.

Ini buku2 yang lagi gue baca:

Gue suka ilustrasi2 di buku yang merah, Alice Through The Looking Glass. Meskipun udah baca berbagai versi dari buku ini, gue paling suka versi ini karena gede dan gambar2nya bagus. Disini, Alice juga digambarin kayak anak2 perempuan normal, bukan kayak anak perempuan zaman pertengahan yang pakai celemek kemana2.
