ºººGardening at Nightººº

Ms Satie

2009-06-01T18:37:00.001-03:00

Another loss last week. This friend also deserves a post here and here it is.

Carol Satie, a fucking fashion designer friend and also my fake cousin who I adore.

She is adorable, She is short, She is cute, She is funny, She is passionate for life.

She makes amazing clothes. She makes amazing shoes. She has little balls tattooed in her arms.

She loves regional music. She plays some music. She has an amazing family. She has the babies of my dog.

She has a lovely nephew and niece. She will draw my wedding dress.

She is far now…London stole another friend of mine. But this is another excuse to go there and see them.

Carol I wish you all the best …and I hope you can be surrounded by many Portuguese and Spanish guys (hihihi) I know you adore them.

I love you from the bottom of my heart. I hope I can read many and many funny emails like you sent some days ago. I’m here cheering for you.

Online radios, software, stuffs and bugs about music

2009-04-07T14:54:00.000-03:00

I’m always plugged in some musical stuff or whatever. Music is for real the fuel of my life I don’t know why…
My father wanted to name me Euterpe the Muse of the music. Maybe it started there? Well anyway I’m far away to be a muse or a expert in music.
But I love to discover new things and that “new things” don’t mean new music. Sometimes I discover new good old things like my new idol Billy Childish
I knew already The Headcoates but I dint know behind it there is Billy Childish and much more about this genius and talented British man called Billy Childish.

Some months ago, well last year I was in SL hanging out with a friend in a pool with some piranhas and a shark biting us. It was a tense talk I remember but we had a station turned on in that place and I was really enjoying the weird punk set I was listening and then the owner of that place arrived and we started to talk and so on and we ended up talking about music and then I asked her what station was that we had on and she said: ohh a nice one from new Jersey: WFMU and she sent me the url address and I started to read their blog and also look for their old programs.
That’s for sure one of the best online radios in the world. WFMU's programming ranges from flat-out uncategorizable strangeness to rock and roll, lots of "alternative" (although no DJ on the station would ever call it that), psychedelia, experimental, obscure 50s-60s blues, unpopular jazz, R&B, soul, reggae, garage rock, hot-rod music, 78's, 8-tracks, twee, indie pop, schlock-a-billy, hip-hop, electronica, hand-cranked wax cylinders, punk rock, exotica, downtown art music, radio improvisation, cooking instructions, old noise, classic radio airchecks, found sound, comedy, call-in shows, anti-fascist lectures, off-kilter kids' music, interviews with obscure radio personalities, interviews with notable science-world luminaries, spoken word mish-mashes, Andrew Lloyd Webber soundtracks in languages other than English, Gospel and Country and western music.
They started in 1958 and they have many ppl supporting them and keeping it alive.for sure to keep a radio on for a long time like that is really hard specially nowadays we have many other ways to discover or get music.

Well here the link from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WFMU and also the link to the wfmu www.wfmu.org

Try to read their blog as well. They have amazing texts and also some mp3.

Another good way to know about music is last.fm. An internet radio you can build your own station. You can tag your music and while you are listening to your libray on Itunes or whatever it keeping updating your profile and they relate the bands or artists what you are listening to another ones and also you can meet new people with closer musical tastes. Sometimes you can also download some tracks. It is a good way as well: www.last.fm

Blogs…an infinite way to discover music as well. There are great ones you can read about music and sometimes download some tracks. I have many ones I consult to see what it is new, what are the new releases and bands…

Of Montreal - So begins our alabee

2008-11-06T01:13:00.000-02:00

And so begins begins our odyssey
And we begin begin our odyssey
And so begins begins our odyssey

The auria is bleeding and the boyish voice is leaving
I've been an evil tenor I filled the innocents doe eyes with glue
You're my only softness you're my only pleasure it's true
And I never want to be your little friend the abject failure

And so begins begins our odyssey
And we begin begin our odyssey
And so begins begins our odyssey

The chrysalis is breaking and the super ego's waking
I've been a gloomy Petrarch with a quill as weepy as Dido
You're my mousy aesthete you're my bouyant cherub it's true
And I never want to be your little friend the abject failure

2nd part of the festival

Hey festival here, last night and today. Well i missed the 1st day but it is on I don't like klaxons.

19:30 eating and drinking outside of the arena and we heard the 1st acordes of junior boys. So run babe... we run and we found a empty place for junior boys, really a pity but even tho the concert was really great.

.. (couldnt see the hour) - dan deacon in the middle of the ppl started talking like crazy, non stop. and the music wtf, the music was really great. he made many plays with the audience and turned that really a party till he finished.

..(couldnt see the hour again) - gogo bordello. Ive seen them in Amsterdan and it was great as there. such a energy they can transmit to the audience.

..(couldnt see the hour one more time) - a dj...cant remember the name...erww ok

music of the last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFlBJ1xZK10

Comments about the place: Ibirapuera Park: Perfect!!! 5 min from home by car. They built a indoor place with nice air conditionair. Sponsered by nivea, eveybody that go to the toilet come back smelling nivea, haha. Beer: 5brl (2,50usd), not bad but the beer not that good...
the best place of all tim festivals since 2000 for sure

Loss...

2008-10-22T20:55:00.005-02:00

I should be used about loss.
I'm not saying I'm a loser but sometimes it is impossible to not think like that.
Today I have this feeling but I have a reason. Sometimes I have the feeling whitout really a reason.
This is the fucking shit of life.

all my love dad.

I will try not to breathe
I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees
These eyes are the eyes of the old, shivering and bold

I need something to breathe (something to breathe - I have seen things you will never see)
I want you to remember

A lenda do coração que explodiu

2008-10-19T23:46:00.001-02:00

Só escrevo isto porque não consegui encontrar nenhuma página de romance, nenhum trecho de poesia, nenhuma letra de música nem nenhuma melodia. As palavras dos outros não estão bastando, não estão sendo suficientes. O que eu sinto só eu sinto, e ninguém senão eu mesmo pode dizer. Eu não sou o que os outros são, nem o que querem que eu seja, e me sinto aliviado por reconhecer que inventei meus desejos. Mas enfim, eu falava do sentimento em si. É que é difícil tornar bonito em palavras o que é feio em sua essência. Essa é uma tarefa para os artistas, esses seres que nos cativam com sua sujeira, desgraça, mazela, nojeira. Eles nos fazem admirar a angústia contida em um grito, a esquizofrenia de nuvens desordenadas, o grotesco de corpos mutilados. É o lado bom da perplexidade. Eu? Não consigo fazer assim. Só saberia descrever cartesianamente a mistura de mágoa e frustração que me incha, fazendo meu coração bater tão forte que eu noto alterado o fluxo de sangue que passa pela minha garganta.

Acho que é isso que, cartesianamente, convencionaram chamar de tristeza.

PS. Decidi ir ao médico amanhã. Tenho certeza que me farão uma punção.

eu tive que copiar isso do blog da Cecilia

On the Countryside

2008-07-01T07:31:00.002-03:00

Yeah I didnt tell about my Sunday. So lets go. A loooonnnnnnng brunch on Brockley Park with Nani and Carol and we didnt leave to the centre that day. We went to the Lewishan centre to see a bit and then we went to Crystal Palace to see her friend play in a bar. But before we watch the final of Euro 2008 with Nanis bf in a nice pub also in Crystal palace, then finally the mini concert at a bar in the same street.

Yesterday I went to the centre to shopping a bit and had a huge walking around Thames River to see OSGEMEOS painel at Tate Modern. but my guide from London said it was in a place called Pilimco (something like that). BUT BUT it was the Tate Britain. so i had to walk all again to the other side of the city till find Tate Modern but it worth. Amazing grafittis, then more walking till the National Gallery to meet Carol, but she preffered to invite me to her pub to have some drinks free. Then we walked to Convent Garden and decied to drink some beers and eat in a pub where Nanis bf works. Finally we went back home.

Today I woke up early to packing and let my luggage at Carols house and came to centre. I had breakefast in covent garden and walked till the British museun to explore. Now I`m in Leincester Square and I`ll go to picadilly to say bye to nani and gab. then back home to get my lugagge and then directly to the airport.
Tomorrow I`m back to SP

so my last post about this trip

Friends/Parties/Friends/Parties/Farewell

Yesterday was such a nice day with great friends all over the city. In the morning a long walking around Nothing Hill, then lunch there with Cla and Sa in a nice restaurant. Then another walk till the other tube line to meet Cleo an Aht, nice coffee time with one friend of them and good and hilarious story. after that we went to their hotel to conect internet for some time and then dinner out in a nice indian restaurant, with another great conversation.

Long day. I was tired but even tho a pub in Convent Garden with Gab, Ed, Carol and Nani and after some pints the final party at Metro with Cla and Sa. ufff, back to Sa`s house to sleep for 3 hours then I went back home to take a shower and meent them again to go to abbey road, after some pic, lunch is a nice restaurant, really old and some great pic of some famous guests like, the queen, audrey hepburn, beatles....

well a farewell in side the tube to Cla, she is coming back to Dublin today and here I`m spending some time in the internet to meet Nani to go back home. I NEED SLEEP!!!.

ah I`m totally fucking tired and i hit my knee in the wall of the bathroom and is really hurting, a shit.

For tomorrow I`ll have breakfast with some friends, meet Dani and maybe go to the british museun to see an exhibition. But I cant forget to go to Tate Modern untill I leave. I need some pic of the Gemeos painel there

Ok that is it for now

Things to love São Paulo

2008-02-02T00:16:00.000-02:00

São Paulo is not a common city. Due our multiplicity of ethnic references, cultures, religion, architecture, gastronomy…Nothing here is typical from here. São Paulo is one city of many cities or the contrary?!?!. From a neighborhood to another can change everything, the landscape, the faces, the signs, the squares, the shops, the ways, the accents. Uhhh the accents…

This ugly beautiful city that I love with (sigh)…I feel so good here even the problems. I can breathe here and it’s a different air from any city of this planet. I don’t miss it while I’m away I just feel better here, protected. I don’t know.

I Love to explore this city, to learn with this city, to get upset also here. No one cares with anyone here. I grew up with my father telling about his love for this city. How he loved here. I grew up walking every weekend in the city centre. Yeah, everybody hates our city centre. I fucking love that area; People talking alone, people running, people crying, people praying, people and people and people, lovely buildings and lovely streets. I love to walk there staring every street, every corner, every shop, every people, everything.

Good memories in my head…Bad memories in my head.

I’m in love with this city since I was born. Actually I learnt to love and hate at the same time.

Now... one more holiday. Carnival… and the city is gonna be empty… The best part.

So if you will be here and don’t like the typical carnival here are my tips:

Go to the cinema
Go to a nice club
Go to a nice restaurant
Go to drink
Go to the city centre and admire that multicultural experience
Go to Benedito Calixto eat “brigadeiro” and listen to “choros” music
Go to a “feira” and eat “pastel” with caldo de cana” yummy!!!! Soooooo typical from Paulistas
Go to a walk on Av. Paulista
Go and listen to good music
Go to a park
Go to Livraria Cultura
Go to some place you don’t know

Take risks once in your life…

Don’t watch TV
Don’t go to shopping malls
Don’t drive

Enjoy this amazing city!!!!

Good Musics to your Carnival (hyperlinked):

Enjoy this amazing city!!!!

Staring Girl

2008-01-27T21:46:00.000-02:00

I once knew a girl
who would just stand there and stare.
At anyone or anything,
she seemed not to care.

She'd stare at the ground,
She'd stare at the sky,
She'd stare at you for hours,
and you'd never know why.

But after winning the local staring contest,
she finally gave her eyes a well deserved rest

Holiday... Rain...

2008-01-25T19:01:00.000-02:00

It’s so weird when you feel you are not in your hometown. When you get the subway, a bus or just walking and you hear people talking and you can’t understand what they are saying. Like other language. I like to fell that weird feeling and be an ugly duck in my own city.

Ok. Today I went to David LaChapelle exhibition at MuBE. Just an “ok” exhibition I was expecting more. If you like colors and sexy pics it’s perfect to you. He has the gift to show that.

Nice and free tip: DAVID LACHAPELLE. MuBE. Avenida Europa, 218, Jardim Europa, 55 11 3081-8611. Terça a domingo e feriados, 10h às 19h. Grátis. Até 5 de fevereiro. A partir de 23 de janeiro.

"Why is it the biggest sin of all? All your life you’re told that you’ll be going to this marvelous place when you pass on. And the one thing you can do to get you there a bit quicker is something that stops you getting there at all. Oh, I can see that it’s a kind of queue-jumping. But if someone jumps the queue at the post office, people tut. Or sometimes they say, “Excuse me, I was here first.” They don’t say, “You will be consumed by hellfire for all eternity.” That would be a bit strong."

This blog still lives…

2008-01-24T00:30:00.000-02:00

I don’t know if someone will read it but who cares?!

I can shout here and say bullshits and no one will complain about it.

I guess I need to change the page picture. That one from Liniers is too cute for how this blog is gonna be written by now.

We can do a contest. I accept ideas… Remember the title: “Gardening at night”

Since my last HUGE trip I was thinking about write something. I got this conclusion walking and talking with a friend in Paris . I needed to start something. Why not write? I like better than talk…everybody knows that. I’m well known from most of my friends as a monosyllabic person: Uhu, Eh, Aha, Mm, Hein, ??, !! Or just to use face expressions.

Well everybody knows how I love to talk about art so is what I’m gonna write in this blog mostly. I stopped to send cultural schedules to my friends I know…I used to do that very often. So now after I read something or visit something or see something I’ll post here my opinions.

Maybe twice a week, maybe once a month… I can’t promise anything.

Enjoy or DIE!!

TGV is a CRAP!!!!!!!

2007-11-20T02:08:00.001-02:00

Last day in Paris was fantastic with my dear friend and a small party at night, tres chique.

So I woke up on Sunday to pack my things and went to Gare de Lyon to take the train to Milan at 15:50pm.

The trip was ok until the train broken down and we had to wait until 22:00 to be rescued until Modena and there we had to continue by bus. This trip to Milan was terrible, terrible.

I was spected to arrive at 10pm and arrived at 04:30am. I arrived in Milano Centrale and all the shops were closed and there weren’t anyone to ask what I could do to go to Malpensa Airport .

When suddenly a police officer came and asked what I wanted to go, uff. He indicated me the way to the airport.

The flight to SP wasn’t good also but here I'm in my safety home

Party at London!!

2007-11-12T09:33:00.000-02:00

Last Saturday we went to Hyde Park to know it. Very nice and a huge park and inside it they have 4 paintings of Romero Britto (ok I hate him). Ahh we were attacked for squirrels. At night we went to Gab's pub to know and drink a bit for free after there he took us to a club called Trash Palace , a gay place in Soho with nice music and very nice kitch decoration.

Yesterday we went to the Victorian and Albert museum and after that a nice party in other gay club called Friendly society with Barbies on the ceiling. So funny.

We met Maria Carol that had studied with Samanta and other 2 Gab's friend: Ju a Brazilian and Bia a Spanish girl.

I have to confess that I'm eating like a pig here I guess is because the cold weather. I can’t stop eat beagels, bread and desserts, uff

This afternoon I'm flying to Amsterdam . I'll be there until Nov 15th

Camden Town

2007-11-10T10:38:00.000-02:00

Last Night Nani and me went to Camden to find the pub that Gab had recommended us: The Hawley Arms (or something like that)... anyway The neighborhood is amazing a lot of cool people and nice pubs, this one that Gab talked is amazing a lot of beautiful people and nice music but was full of people. After there we went to other one but not so good and we found one called Made in Brasil, so we entered. All the staff was Brazilian and the music wasn’t so good but was ok.

When we were coming back we realized that the underground was closed so we had to take a bus to come back home.

Toning we are going to Gab's pub. He is gonna get us drunk for free...

Leeds...Beirut

2007-11-09T16:07:00.000-02:00

Last Night was amazing
I went to Leeds to see Beirut 's Concert. I arrived around 3pm and found easy Tiago's house. I mean Tiago's castle. Yes he lives in a mini castle in a university area. Well we figured out which bus I had to take and I left to the Leeds Irish Club. I have to say that is located in a very weird place out of the town in the middle of a road, with many weird people.

I waited for 1 hour outside almost freezing. This city is really cold. At least I was with my super gloves that I bought in Barcelona .

But didn’t have any place to get a coffee or something to eat. I was starving. And at 7pm they opened the doors. It was a really red neck place, the stage was so beautiful, with many small lights. A guy opened to Beirut (don’t ask me the name) and at 9pm Beirut started one of the best concerts that I’ve seen. It's really fantastic, much much better that his CD, and he is really nice.

Many nice pictures and a video also. When I was coming back to Tiago's castle and I met a Scottish guy that was in the concert also, he said that he came from Glasgow to see and I said that I had came from Brazil to see, hahaha so I won who had came farther.

At night I guess I'll go to Camden neighborhood where Amy Winehouse always appears in the tabloids.

This crap of lan house has the usb behind the PC. I couldn’t put my pen drive to post a pic to you. But I'll try soon in other lan house

Joao, I’m planning to go to the Virgin tomorrow to ask about your Sibelius but I'll have time in Amsterdam and Paris also

I hope everything is good with all of my friends

God save the Queen

A short day today. A Brazilian friend from Gab( she worked with Samanta in Bauru ) arrived here to live, her name is Nani (do you remember her Sa?). Had lunch with Gab and after left to meet Dani Ioca that worked with me in SP. She took me to have a traditional meal of their afternoons, with korn bread and a cafe. After that we went to a long walk around Thames River and she left to work. So I went to see the palace of the Queen (you know the name, I'll not write because is difficult).

The days are getting dark around 4.30pm, too depressing. Tomorrow I'm going to Leeds to see Beirut 's concert (finally)

Dani invited me to a party in a pub next Friday and Gab wants to take me and Nany to a Rock pub. Yes Cecilia he doesn’t like so much Metro, he wants to celebrate his 1 year here on Sunday in a place called Fabric, but he said is more electronic. We will figure out.

I can’t spend too much money because my trip to Paris is confirmed, so only free places.

Yes Ceci, Chagall's house is gonna receive me to show the paintings. They usually are closed because the paintings are traveling to some exhibitions but on Nov 13th they will be there.

I also bought some Chagall's things here in London . Actually cards on Tate museum that I'm intending to come back before I leave

London Calling...

2007-11-06T16:22:00.001-02:00

Here I’m in the city of the Queen. The city is beautiful, but I don’t know I guess until now I preferred Barcelona . I haven’t any problem here. The English people until now were nice.

Yesterday night I met Gabi's boyfriend and we had a long walk together around the Thames River , fantastic. Gabi is studying English and a designer clothes course also. It's too funny because all the time he think that I'm Samanta, he said I'm more similar her than ever.

Today I walked as a camel (I can’t stand more walking), uff

Most of the museums are for free, so today I went to the National Galery, Tate Modern Museum (the best) and the National Portrait museum.

Many Warhol, Matisse, Moore, Kandinsky.

and some of my favorites ones: CALDER and LINCHESTEIN ( I took a hide picture of one Linchestein, hihihi)

And a huge walk until the Tower Bridge .

Many good pictures. I'll try to post soon. In 2 days I'll go to Leeds to see Beirut . I can’t wait

Against the Lines !!

2007-11-03T11:54:00.000-02:00

Yeah people I’m really against the lines, so today I went to places that people don’t use to go, yayayaya (laughing in Spanish).

Skip Casa Batló and Picasso museum (full of people). At least I saw Picasso some years ago in Paris , ufff

So let’s come back to the subject: I saw Dali exhibition and a Pre Colombian exhibition, they are celebrating La fiesta de los muertos... (Fantastic many Archaeological pieces)

Also walked again into the Bairro Gotic and took some pictures, specially Graffiti pictures, yayayaya.

Walk Walk Walk...

2007-11-02T13:43:00.000-02:00

Here I’m in the Bairro Gotic, I tried to go to Picasso museum but gave up, full of people. Now I’m going to kill my family to go to the cinema: Persepolis in some minutes.

Today I went to La Pedrera , one Park near the Miró museun and Sagrada Familia that I just stayed outside. Is impossible to go inside you have to face tons of people and I wasn’t in the mood for that, and of course, I’m not a religious people to go to churches.

Thx Cecilia to tell that I don’t have cancer and you had the same symptoms as I’m feeling (yes my nose is still bleeding).

Sa I’ll recharge my mobile at night, where is our uncle?

ok I gave up about the pictures...

Fucking Chagall and Calder

2007-11-01T15:37:00.000-02:00

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I did so many things, a long walk inside Parc Guell and thanan..... Fundació Miró.

Parc Guell everybody knows is one of the most famous landmarks from Barcelona . but I’m shocked with fundació Miró. I’m really into modern art, pop art and other things like that. The Fundació is awesome BUUUUTTTTTT I have to tell what I found inside that: 3 Chagall and 2 Calder.

For me my trip here can finish here (ok I’m kidding) because in Amsterdam the Chagall house is gonna receive me on nov 13th. But these two guys are my favorite’s artists EVER. Marc Chagall I don’t have any words to say. He really touches me, all his paintings and sculptures. They were there: Le nu rouge (1909), Le nuage nu (1945-46), Deux nus (1951). I bet my sister is very jealous about me, hahaha

And the other Alexander Calder and his Movil Models.

I have to talk about Miró and the others that I also found there: Picasso, Moore, Giacomettis, Lindner, Klein...and others

A walk down in Ramblas but I have to confess, for me is like 25 de Marco but with Europeans. I really prefer Bairro Gotic.

That it is for now...

No photos until now. I have to go to that Pakistan lan house to post the pictures, because here in the hostel is impossible. I have to be very fast.

I’m missing you guys... but I’m enjoying a lot

Someone can send me news about the office? Mari, Marcio are you not going to talk???

I know that in the office is blocked this site for comments, but you can send me e-mails.

Entonces... The 2nd part

2007-11-01T05:55:00.000-02:00

Buenas chicos de mi corazión, in the afternoon I went to the North of Barcelona by bus again and saw many nice things that I’m intending to do today. At night I went to meet a store of a friend and I meet also his wife’s store. Two nice stores very near my hostel.

... Talking about my hostel now, when I arrived yesterday I met a Belgium group that had booked a group for 7, but they aren’t a usual group for hostel, they are about 50-60 years old, and in the kitchen the people were throwing a party (I guess because the Halloween), and they were smoking pot and the music was so loud that I thought that group could be die... Was so funny.

Well you know guys that I’m not a sociable person so... I went to my room sleep.

Ahh... Fuck I woke up at 5am and couldn’t sleep anymore...urgh and stayed awake until 8am that I had finally dressed me up and came to the reception to be on internet.

Now the Belgium group is cooking and I don’t understand anything what they are talking about.

Ok I’m trying to download my pictures but this computer is strange for me. Let’s see if I can put something here to not be so boring to you.

Now a disgusting thing but you are my friends so I can share with you... Well I’ve living in one of the most cities of the world, Sao Paulo but here my nose is bleeding all the time. This air hates me. (I need a ¨rinosoro¨)

Milan Adventure - Barcelona

2007-10-31T10:22:00.000-02:00

My flight arrived at 10:30am, and my flight to Barcelona was at 15:30, so my Italian adventure was inside the airport.

I was waiting and I saw a weird guy making some face expressions and talking alone, that situation let me bit worried. I know that I talked alone sometimes, but not like that. Suddenly he stood up and starts to argue with an old guy... was really weird the old guy had to run away...
Don’t ask me what they talk about, because my headphones were on (Moldy Peaches).

Finally I could take my flight, and arrived safe in Barcelona Airport . Marinah, Jordi and the little Gaia were there waiting for me with a chocolate box from Barcelona . This couple and their little daughter are lovely friends that I have. She is fucking funny and her husband also.

They took me to the centre and I could let my luggage and made my check in.
After a little Tour in Barcelona . They take me to Fnac to see if I could find some gifts that some people ask me. Here the answers: Sa - there is no Nada movie, I’ll have to check in other store, Cla, sold old The science of Sleep. Ivna the same of Samanta, there is no Stupeurs et Tremblements, I’ll check them in other stores.

But my search didn’t finish here, ok!?

After Fnac and some walk for Las Ramblas, we met their friend Camila and we had dinner together in an Italian Restaurant really nice. I was starving but my pizza was so big that I couldn’t eat all..:(

Well Marinah, Jordi and Gaia don’t live in Barcelona , so they left after our dinner to Stiges, that I’ll go soon to know.

Today I woke up around 9am and started my walk down. I took a bus trip, a tip from Marinah, that you can take and leave whatever you want. Now I’m in the Barrio Gotic in a Pakistan lan house... less expensive, 1€ per hour (I have internet free in my hostel). Yesterday I couldn’t write so now I’m here to tell you a bit of my trip.

I knew the South o the city by bus and took nice pictures, Ill post soon.

So that it’s for now and I’ll send some news soon.
