<p>Con los a<em><strong><a href="http://www.apuntesdelengua.com/" target="_blank">lumnos de 1º y 2º de ESO</a></strong></em> estamos viendo la importanca de la literatura de viajes. <em>La isla del tesoro </em>con l@s alumn@s de 1º ESO y <em>Cielo abajo </em>con los alumnos de 2º ESO. Prueba de su vigencia, encontramos un resumen y crítica de la nueva edición de <em>Los viajes de Gulliver , </em>de Jonathan Swift, que hoy mismo salía reflejado en el suplemento <strong><a href="http://www.elpais.com/suple/babelia/" target="_blank"><em>Babelia</em></a></strong> del diario <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><a href="http://www.elpais.com" target="_blank">EL PAÍS</a></strong></span>.

<description><![CDATA[Il simbolo di Madrid è un orso goloso che approccia un albero di corbezzolo (madrono).
Quest’ulti]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;"><a href="http://ozmoon.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/oso.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-321" title="oso" src="http://ozmoon.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/oso.jpg" alt="" width="361" height="574" /></a>Il simbolo di Madrid è un orso goloso che approccia un albero di corbezzolo (madrono).</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Quest’ultimo fiorisce in ottobre ed i frutti maturano nell’anno successivo, alla fine dell’estate ed in autunno, di modo che la pianta ospiti contemporaneamente fiori, frutti immaturi e frutti maturi. Questo la rende particolarmente ornamentale.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Ignoravo l’esistenza del corbezzolo, fintanto che non mi sono imbattuto nella statua di bronzo del ghiotto animale, in Plaza Puerta del Sol. L’episodio che dette origine a questo simbolo, molto particolare, fu quello della disputa, intorno al 1200, tra i madrilenos e la chiesa, circa il diritto di caccia sui terreni di proprietà ecclesiastica. Il problema si risolse con un accordo che prevedeva che, i primi, avessero diritto di caccia e di coltivazione del suolo che, però, rimaneva di proprietà delle chiesa. L’orso è il simbolo di quest’ultima.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Segnalato questo, mi viene da sorridere, pensando che un animale che identifica una certa tipologia di omosessuale, possa rappresentare anche una delle nostre più acerrime nemiche. E se l’oso della chiesa annusa un frutto che identifica la caccia, il nostro mira ad una bacca ben più carnosa e gustosa.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">La caccia è uno sport, quando non è gratuito ed eccessivo, estremamente virile. Che la Chiesa punti a fucili d’alto calibro, mentre noi ci accontentiamo di testicoli che nascono sugli alberi ?</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Alcune volte li raccogliamo da terra, altre ce li dobbiamo conquistare, con grande fatica. Sostanzialmente cerchiamo tutti, religiosi e laici, la stessa cosa: cibi peccaminosi e, soprattutto, che non ci appartengono.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Sebbene il simpatico animale ci accomuni, inevitabilmente, con l’anima silente e purpurea dell’omosessualità, il nostro avrà sicuramente un pelo più selvaggio, ma sincero.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Woof!</h5>

<description><![CDATA[
Il legno poco livellato ed ondulato sotto i piedi. Scivoloso quanto basta. Ampia scala del mio oste]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;"><a href="http://ozmoon.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/escalera.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-316" title="escalera" src="http://ozmoon.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/escalera.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="483" /></a></h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Il legno poco livellato ed ondulato sotto i piedi. Scivoloso quanto basta. Ampia scala del mio ostello in calle Fuencarral. Quanti sali e scendi alla “isla bonita”.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Mi mancano la peruviana stordita e la checca calva e slavata dalla faccia a pagnottella. <span> </span>Entrambi alla reception. Entrambi surreali.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Mi manca il succo d’arancia nelle taniche di plastica, finora viste solo nei film americani. Gli orari dilatati e le sieste interminabili. Il mercato dove comprare tutto quello che occorre per una serata militar o per riempirsi di metallo, dalle dita al collo. Tutto il trash ha un senso, da quelle parti.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Il mio cuore è rimasto invischiato nelle trame di quel quartiere. Tutto a portata di mano. Tutto alla luce del sole caliente. Il circuito dei locali dove incontrarsi e poter bere due drink, al prezzo di uno, entro la mezzanotte.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Il caos ed il rumore che marciano a passo incalzante verso la manana. La sporcizia e l’odore d’urina che vengono debellati prima che la gente si risvegli. Quanta carne fresca e guizzante, a popolare calle Fuencarral e dintorni. Un po’ “andato” mi ci sono sentito, ma è bastato uno sguardo a ridestarmi.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Tornerò sulle mie tracce. Ricalcherò le mie orme, a breve. Me lo sento, perché ho lasciato qualcosa in sospeso.</h5>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;"><a href="http://ozmoon.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/metro-madrid.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-311" title="metro-madrid" src="http://ozmoon.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/metro-madrid.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="301" /></a></h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">L’essenza ispanica mi si è tatuata addosso. In soli tre giorni ho amato Madrid. La noche en blanco che non mi aspettavo di trovare.<span>  </span>Gli sguardi e la libertà degli amori che, da quelle parti, non sono tanto diversi. E’ vero, il mio ostello era nella Chueca, quartiere che fa letteralmente impallidire la nostra misera e scarna gay street romana. Eppure, ripensare a bimbi che passeggiano con i genitori, a fianco di coppie di maschi che si baciano o che si tengono per mano, mi fa desiderare di essere ancora là. Sopporterei anche la prepotente influenza americana nelle vie della città, pur di giovare della modernità civica e morale di questa Spagna. Gli automobilisti ti lasciano attraversare sulle strisce pedonali ed ignorano l’esistenza dei clacson. Le metropolitane sono quasi tutte estremamente pulite e colorate; soprattutto irrorano interamente la metropoli. E poco me ne importa se la loro storia ci fa sorridere, confrontata con la nostra; negli ultimi trent’anni si sono riscattati dalla dittatura e hanno cercato di lasciarsi alle spalle tutte le frustrazioni, senza guardarsi mai indietro, se non per convincersi che la direzione presa sia quella giusta.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Con al massimo dieci euro puoi pranzare con un pasto completo, abbondante e più che discreto. Certo, la loro passionalità potrebbe essere tradotta, alla lunga, in isteria; ad esempio per come aggrediscono nervosamente i touch-screen, alle casse, negli Starbucks o nei supermarket, con i tappi delle bic, invece che con i loro morbidi indici. Oppure per come sbuffano, simili a tori infuriati, quando li guardi e non sono interessati alle tue moine.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Sono più volubili di noi, probabilmente. O forse non li ho capiti fino in fondo. Ed è per questo che vorrei tanto studiarli ancora ed approfonditamente, in loco, usando come cavia il bel Miguel che, con il solo sguardo incisivo e costante, mi ha riscaldato la cerveza che stavo sorseggiando all’Hot.</h5>

<description><![CDATA[
Quando, da piccolo, chiedevo un pacchetto di patatine, con sorpresa, mio padre faceva sempre storie]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-295" src="http://ozmoon.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/yorkshire-crossing.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="407" /></h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Quando, da piccolo, chiedevo un pacchetto di patatine, con sorpresa, mio padre faceva sempre storie, perché era cattiva alimentazione. E’ per questo motivo che, ogni tanto, mi strafogo di schifezze del genere. Ciò che mi entusiasma è la difficoltà con la quale ci si deve conquistare il regalino, inizialmente affrontando la confezione, unta e scivolosa, per poi proseguire con la plastica, ancora più grassa, che avvolge il gadget. Qualunque regalo sembra assumere proporzioni smisurate, una volta avuto in mano. Che me ne faccio di tre anellini di gomma in tre diversi colori ? Avrò tutto il tempo della durata del viaggio Roma - Parma, per decidere.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Che sconforto, gli scompartimenti a cabina. Mi accaparro sempre il posto vicino al finestrino, ma trovo, il più delle volte, un dirimpettaio con dei trampoli, al posto delle gambe. Fortunatamente, dopo una ventina di minuti dalla partenza, una sceriffa del sud entra, reclamando perentoriamente <span> </span>i due posti prenotati. Uno di questi è proprio quello di fronte a me. Che sollievo: ci si siede la figliola, una bimbetta con la voce di <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Simpson"><span style="color:#993366;">Lisa Simpson</span></a>, corretta con un forte accento calabrese.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Adesso: non so se sia preferibile intrecciare le gambe con uno sconosciuto o sopportare lo sguardo imperterrito e fisso di una ragazzina, inquietante come <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Ricci"><span style="color:#993366;">Cristina Ricci</span></a>. Attenzione, bambina, che lo zio Fester, se si incazza, ti sbriciola la playstation!</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">A metà del duello visivo, ecco arrivare la Pucci!</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">La Pucci è una cagnetta di razza Yorkshire. Indossa una pettorina rosa shocking ed un fiocchetto rosso, a chiusura di una treccia di peli che le orna la testa, cadendo dietro e donandole una parvenza umana (e grottesca). <span> </span>Altrettanto picassiana è la sua padrona. Una giovane con un mento da sfondamento.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Fa caldo e l’alito della bestiola mi infastidisce il gomito destro. Quel mucchietto di peli non pagante olezza. In cabina c’è un misto di aria condizionata e puzza estiva di cane.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Quando vedo uno yorkshire il pensiero corre a <a href="http://video.google.it/videosearch?hl=it&#38;q=un%20pesce%20di%20nome%20wanda&#38;um=1&#38;ie=UTF-8&#38;sa=N&#38;tab=wv#"><span style="color:#993366;">“Un pesce di nome Wanda”</span></a> ed alle fini terribili che spettavano a quei cagnetti fastidiosi.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">All’altezza di Castiglione Fiorentino, la mamma, ammirando il castello, sente la necessità di istruire la figliola: “ Vedi che bella, la torre? Lì veniva rinchiusa la principessa, in attesa che il principe azzurro venisse a salvarla …”</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Che schifo! Questo va oltre l’odore mefitico della Pucci!Dover assistere all’iniziazione dell’ennesima illusa. Povera Lisa Ricci; la immagino di già, oltre i trenta, chiusa in casa il sabato sera, drogata, fino al midollo, di romanzetti Harmony. Sempre con la finestra aperta (pure d’inverno), nell’attesa di uno spasimante ardito … Ingannerà il tempo con snack a base di Nutella.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Per infierire ulteriormente, viene raddoppiato il carico, con un summit su vicissitudini, origini e simbologie delle Winx, per proseguire con una tavola rotonda sulla zodiaco.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Il peggior segno?</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Il gemelli!</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Il migliore?</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Ovviamente il bilancia, quello della sceriffa!</h5>

<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><a href="http://ozmoon.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/binari.jpg"></a></h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><a href="http://ozmoon.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/binario.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-281" src="http://ozmoon.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/binario.jpg" alt="" width="405" height="301" /></a>Avete mai incontrato i dinamitardi?</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Io chiamo così quelle coppie di fidanzatini che hanno i medesimi tratti somatici. A colpo d’occhio paiono fratello e sorella, ma non si tratta d’incesto, perché non lo sono affatto.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Pochi giorni fa, mentre rientro a Roma in treno, all’altezza di Firenze, due esemplari di questa specie occupano posti frontali al mio fianco.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Piccoli di statura. Occhi da gufo, grossi e sporgenti. Incredibilmente uguali! Frettolosi di occupare la postazione, sfoggiano immediatamente le loro peculiarità. Estraggono due giornali. Un corriere sportivo per il maschietto e Focus per la femminuccia. Dal cilindro spuntano, in seguito, altre riviste, di vario genere.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">La ragazza gli sbuccia i giornali, con fare materno, imboccandogli gli articoli migliori. Il piccioncino annuisce ad ogni domanda. Il cellulare squilla: “ No, papy. Stasera tu non andrai a vedere la partita al bar, col mio fidanzato. Non mi pare giusto!”. Lui sorride.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Improvvisamente, una galleria. Le luci non funzionano. Buio completo. Riacquistiamo visibilità ed eccoli lì; tutti e due con gli indici nelle orecchie, per proteggere le <a href="http://web.incl.ne.jp/ishikawa/PET/it/idefn.html"><span style="color:#993366;">tube di Eustachio</span></a>. Io, che non pratico la legge del “prevenire è meglio che curare”, rimedio con lo sbadiglio indotto. Li osservo, con sana invidia, e trovo un confortevole ristoro nel profumo emanato dal panino alla mortazza di un ragazzotto in traiettoria di sguardo.</h5>
<h5 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;">Poi mi volto nuovamente ed eccoli ancora lì, come due binari che corrono, paralleli e speculari. Felici di essere scoppiettanti dinamitardi.</h5>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through the vastness of the universe, I come to settle on you</p>
<p>like a loved one, another alien, a target of my dreams,</p>
<p>whizzing on the electric giant milky way,</p>
<p>sneezing out yon satellites and rockets.</p>
<p>You would think we owned the place.</p>
<p>We the mere borrowers of time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wander with you, I spin with you</p>
<p>Alas like Gulliver, among the little people,</p>
<p>I cast my net far and wide.</p>
<p>As much of humanity has Died, unnecessarily.</p>
<p>Here in my lofty tower of tears.</p>
<p>I bemoan the world of Greed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I grasp for Thor's hammer </p>
<p>only to find thats been stolen too.</p>
<p>By the State Circus, where most of my allies have fled.</p>
<p>Sometimes I wonder why they ran away.</p>
<p>Could it be that their heads are full of mince?</p>
<p>Or some other form of lacklustre  nonsense.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Were they to mention the disappearing bees,</p>
<p>or even the vanishing wild salmon</p>
<p>all so lost they cannot find their home</p>
<p>Are they too so affected by electrosmog they refuse to think?</p>
<p>And by this omission, no longer are the opposition,</p>
<p>but a gang of yesterday's men and women</p>
<p>fondling  Liberty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are our leaders heads all gone</p>
<p>dancing with the dying swan, playing cat or mouse,</p>
<p>Or are they like the unmasked bat</p>
<p>cheating to find out where they are at?</p>
<p>It would make one cry.</p>
<p>Aye! Even Shout!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What glory can there be?</p>
<p>Time warped  in history.</p>
<p>Formal greetings now the whole of politics</p>
<p>''Goodbye Mother Earth !'' They kiss their asses.</p>
<p>As pollinators at peril pass a death sentence on the human race</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We used a clip-on chair for the baby so that she could sit with us at mealtimes. She's been doing this ever since she could hold her head up, usually stuffed with pillows all around her. That's probably the reason she has such strong back muscles today.</p>
<p><a href="http://javaline.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/cliponchair.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-638" src="http://javaline.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/cliponchair.jpg?w=240" alt="" width="175" height="185" /></a></p>
<p>I loved that clip-on chair. I absolutely abhor those plastic contraption highchair things. They're huge, they're ugly, and as much as they may serve their purpose, I just could never bring myself to put one in my house. Not that I have room for it anyway, but that's beside the point.</p>
<p>Many people like to feed their babies reclined. The ugly plastic highchairs have such an option, which facilitates the whole messy mealtimes for the parent handling the food. But the messiness never really bothered me all that much. Sure, there are days when I feel like I will snap their little necks the next time they drop another item on the floor, but mostly I just deal with it. My kids sit straight up at the table and that's that.</p>
<p>Then I managed to break the clip-on chair. I leaned on it in such a way while cleaning crumbs underneath one of the clips that it snapped off. My bad, and the fact that the chair was about 5 years old and has gone through 3 kids probably didn't help matters much.</p>
<p>Luckily, my parents had another one, but it had a different clip-on mechanism and didn't fit our table.</p>
<p>So now I was stuck. Do I stick her in the Bumbo for mealtimes?</p>
<p><a href="http://javaline.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/bumbo.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-639" src="http://javaline.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/bumbo.jpg?w=125" alt="" width="125" height="94" /></a></p>
<p>She really doesn't like it much, especially now that she's soooooo close to crawling. Anything keeping her immobile results in noisy protests which typically last a while.</p>
<p>My solution was to have look at the Ikea Gulliver highchair. I read some reviews and liked the fact that it was sleek, wood (not plastic!), had a straight back, and wasn't expensive either. And I could push it right up against the table.</p>
<p><a href="http://javaline.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/highchair.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-640" src="http://javaline.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/highchair.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Putting it together wasn't too difficult. But because I did it myself, the leveling of the legs was more than a little frustrating. Somehow I just couldn't get all 4 legs to be flush with the floor. I tried taking it apart and putting it back together a few times, doing it the reverse from the instructions once as well, and still, it appeared like one leg was maybe half a cm too short. Given that our Sonja is rather fond of rocking, I couldn't risk having her sit in that chair, even with the belt on, if the legs weren't completely flush with the floor.</p>
<p>Having said that, once her daddy showed up, we managed, together, to get the legs to fit right. There is no rocking, sliding or any movement at all now, and she's happy as a clam sitting in that thing at mealtimes.</p>
<p>I recommend that two adults put the chair together in order to save a lot of frustration. Following the instructions was not difficult, nor was the actual putting it together. But having that second set of adult hands help with the legs was, at least in our case, essential.</p>

Same procedure as always, find 5 Ufo parts and you'll get a rare item from him.<br />

"Hey, it's me! Burp! The Wolfgang-man is here!" xD</p>
<p>He was really surprised about my interior:<br />

<p style="text-align:left;">Χρειάστηκα κάποια λεπτά για να καταλάβω ότι διαφημίζει τη θήκη για μπουκάλι νερού 1,5 λίτρου που έχει μέσα το αυτοκίνητο, με punchline "μπορεί να μείνετε από βενζίνη, αλλά τουλάχιστον δε θα διψάσετε".

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, another day today where I hit the UFO, woohoo! :)<br />
<img src="http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/5366/gulliver1ii5.jpg" /><br />
<img src="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8066/gulliver2pq6.jpg" /><br />
"I'm Gulliver. I'm coming from that what you call "outer space". "<br />
And as usual he asked me to find five UFO parts which are spread over the town. So I started to search for this parts, but only found four of them. I walked several times through all my town but wasn't able to find the last part. So I thought, perhaps it's a good idea when I swap my chara. If the town is restarted, perhaps this missing part is to be find on another better seen place.<br />
So Yuki spoke to Gulliver, too:<br />
<img src="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5008/gulliver3gk0.jpg" /><br />
But surprisingly he introduced himself again and wanted me to search the five parts again.<br />
And in fact I found 5 parts in my town. I put them together on the ground:<br />
<img src="http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/4569/gulliver4gz7.jpg" /><br />
Then I saved and woke up Mayu again:<br />
<img src="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/3715/gulliver5nb7.jpg" /><br />
I hope those parts will still be there ^^<br />
<img src="http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1387/gulliver6uw9.jpg" /><br />
Yay! I know that I just have to give him one part, but I was wondering what he'll do when I give him three of them ;)</p>
<p><img src="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/1326/gulliver7ot8.jpg" /><br />
"That's fantastic! You've found all my missing parts!"<br />
Well, he took all three, and he wasn't complaining about the too many parts :lol:</p>
<p><img src="http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/7561/gulliver8eb7.jpg" /><br />
The left two parts I put in my house. Not very decorative but nevertheless they're rare.<br />
The last thing to check was, if Gulliver is still there when Yuki is playing again:<br />
<img src="http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/9551/gulliver9rc2.jpg" /><br />
But no, he left my town... how disappointing... :( ;)</p>
<p><img src="http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/8638/gulliver10ev6.jpg" /><br />
And the UFO parts are still there, woohoo :lol: :)<br />
So if anyone does need a UFO-part give me a hint, and it's yours :P ^^</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Ho provato a tradurre questo breve aneddoto, narrato dal personaggio di <strong>Fanny Hill</strong>, che ha come protagonisti i membri della <strong>Gulliver’s League</strong>:</p>
<p><img src="http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r44/ConteRaffaelloMascetti/gulliversleagueimmagine.jpg" alt="" width="412" height="440" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><em>Che incredibile banda di avventurieri era! Oltre all’ormai anziano Gulliver, il gruppo includeva un contrabbandiere straccione che, sotto la maschera, si verificò essere un altro vecchio conoscente, vale a dire il Capitano Clegg, a sua volta attempato signore dai capelli color argento attorno ai sessantacinque anni. Un cacciatore proveniente dall’America, tale Mr. Bumpoo, era un uomo più giovane, con degli atteggiamenti da presuntuoso di cui non mi curavo; ma fu con i due più giovani membri della compagnia, una coppia inglese squisitamente carina chiamati i Blakeneys, Marguerite e Percy, che condivisi la più profonda amicizia.</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><em>La nostra straordinaria combriccola, come appresi, era formata da emissari della Corona inglese, e in loro compagnia vissi molte sorprendenti imprese.</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><em>Su per la penisola chiamata Brobdingnag, situata nell’America occidentale e abitata da giganti, venimmo coinvolti nella guerra fra gli abitanti di Brobdingnag e i colossi erranti discendenti dal torreggiante Pantagruel, provenienti da Utopia, nei mari del sud. </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><em>Una volta, mentre stavamo tentando di negoziare una tregua in segreto con una comprensiva gigantessa, il suo ostile sposo tornò inaspettatamente a casa, al che ci nascondemmo presso la di lei persona. Qual raccapriccio! Suo marito scelse quel preciso momento per insistere affinché la moglie compisse il proprio dovere coniugale; cosicché noi, con carrozza e cavallo, venimmo risparmiati soltanto grazie al fatto che, evidentemente, egli optò all’ultimo istante per un differente metodo di ingresso. </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Note:</strong> <strong>Brobdingnag</strong> è tratto da <em>Gulliver’s Travels</em> di Jonathan Swift, mentre il personaggio del gigante <strong>Pantagruel</strong> è stato illustrato nei celebri racconti dello scrittore satirico francese Francois Rabelais. <strong>Utopia</strong> è la conosciutissima ‘isola ideale’ descritta da Thomas More.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Olinpahan toissa. Zed antoi Elizabethin numeron ja Elizabeth sanoi etta keskiviikkona 8.30 Middle Br]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Olinpahan toissa. Zed antoi Elizabethin numeron ja Elizabeth sanoi etta keskiviikkona 8.30 Middle Brightonissa Black Streetilla. Eihan 8.30 ole edes kovin aikaisin aamulla, mutta kun ottaa huomioon et Middle Brightoniin on tunnin matka tasta kavellen ja vaunulla ja taas vahan kavellen ja lopuks junalla, niin se on sitten 7.30. Ja kun mina en ole aamuisin tehokkaimmillani, niin on hyva varata 45 minuuttia vaadittuihin toimenpiteisiin. Nyt ollaan kellonajassa 6.45. Kun tahan lisataan tieto siita, etta edeltavina oina olen mennyt nukkumaan viiden ja seitseman valissa aamulla, paastaan helposti tulokseen etta sain unta vasta puoli viiden jalkeen. Kyllahan kaks tuntia riittaa, eikos se ole se suositeltu maara aikuiselle? Niin.</p>
<p>En ole koskaan nahnyt yhdessa paikassa niin paljon pahvilaatikoita kuin siella varastolla. Aivan tolkuttomat maarat. Korkeita kasoja, kolme, nelja metria. Pahvilaatikkopaljouden keskella kapeita kujia, joilla kavellessaan sai pelata musertuvansa kiikkeran vuoren alle. Niita laatikoita sitten alettiin ohjeiden mukaan jarjestelemaan, mina ja Simon Ruotsista ja Oliver Kanadasta ja Oliverin kaveri, tuota, Gulliver. Myos Kanadasta. En oo ihan varma et oliko sen nimi Gulliver, varmaankaan ei. En muista et mita se sanoi. (Suomen vaestotietojarjestelma tuntee kaksi Gulliveria, toinen on syntynyt vuosien 1920-1939 valilla ja toinen 2000-2007. Enpa ois arvannu. Tarzaneita on vaan yks, syntynyt 1960-1979 valilla.) Niin... laatikoita. Joo. Elizabeth kaski kantamaan niita paikasta toiseen ihan (naennaisen) mielivaltaisesti, <em>I want these ones over there and that one over here</em>. Minut se nainen ylensi jonkin ajan jalkeen kokoamaan sankya, kai se huomasi sen valtaisan potentiaalin mika minussa kiertaa ja kihelmoi. Kylla niista osista tuli semmoinen sangynkaltainen valmiste, hyva risto. Takaisin laatikoiden pariin. Paitsi etta ruokatunti. Elizabeth sanoi et meilla on kiireinen paiva tulossa, pitakaa pojat tunnin tauko.</p>
<p>Miettikaapa, rakkaat lukijat, tuota tahoillanne hetki. Minun ajatuksissa ei ollenkaan toimi tuommoinen yhdistelma, etta kiire ja tunnin ruokatauko. Niin se kuitenkin sanoi viela uudestaankin, kun kavin kysymassa etta tuntiko se nyt oli, naita maan tunteja? Elizabethin aiti tuli keittiotilaan vahan ajan paasta ja kaivoi suuresta muovikassista jokaiselle puolitoista leipaa ja kourallisen annospakkauksia erilaisia tilkkeita kuten ketsuppia, tartar-kastiketta ja maapahkinavoita. Etta lounas. Syotiin vartti. Vaihdettiin nakemyksia rock-festivaaleista, nuorisomusiikista ja eri maiden erikoisruokalajeista 45 minuuttia. Sitten Elizabethin ruma naama killistelikin jo ovella, etta toihin pojat, nimittain! Pihalla oli juuttaallisen kokoinen kontti, semmoinen laivarahtilaatikko, vaittaisin et se oli jotain kymmenen kertaa 2,5 kertaa 2,5 metria. Tuota luokkaa kumminkin. Ja se kontti oli taynna paffilaatikoita, siis pakattu ihan tetris-tayteen. Kahdeksasta 35 kiloon oli ne laatikot, niita kannettiin varaston katkoihin ohjeiden mukaan. Tyhjentamisen loppuvaiheessa tuli auto hakemaan sita konttia ja Elizabeth tuli hoputtamaan, et <em>minahan sanoin et meilla on kiireinen paiva tulossa, tehkaa nopeammin. </em>Oli se onni et istuttiin tunti puhumassa tyhjaa taukohuoneessa, muuten ei valttamatta olisi tullut edes ihan hirvea kiire.</p>
<p>Kun viimein saatiin kontti tyhjaksi, alkoi laatikoiden uudelleenjarjestely. Elizabethin mieli muuttui vahan valia ja jos asken piti A0206-laatikot laittaa tuonne nurkkaan neljan pinoihin, nyt ne piti siirtaa tahan ja laatia viiden, tai kolmen, laatikon pinoja. Ylettoman saatamisen jalkeen oltiin valmiita. Seuraavaksi inventaario! Alettiin tarkistaa et oliko kutakin laatikkoa tullut niin monta kappaletta kuin piti. Amatoori voisi helposti luulla, etta kyseinen tyovaihe olisi sujunut luontevammin siina vaiheessa kun konttia tyhjennettiin, mutta kai se sitten oli parempi yrittaa muistella et minne vietiin mitkakin laatikot ja tuliko ne kaikki vietya samaan paikkaan. Kolmen tarkistuslaskennan jalkeen tulos oli se, etta kaikkia laatikoita oli joko liian vahan tai liian paljon. Ei kuulemma haitannut, <em>it's ok, it's beautiful.</em></p>
<p>Pihaan ajoi uusi auto, jonka kyydissa oli uusi kontti. Oh Boy! Viela isompia ja painavampia laatikoita! Oh boy! Ja eikun vaan. Homma alkoi puuduttaa jo aika pontevasti, tai sitten laatikoissa oli kryptoniittia koska tunsin voimieni hupenevan sita enemman, kuta useampia laatikoita raahasin alati tayttyvan varastohallin synkkeneviin syovereihin. Siella hallissa kun ei ollut valoja ollenkaan, kaikki valo mita oli tuli kattoikkunoista. Viimeisen tunnin aikana alkoi jo olla vaikeuksia erottaa koodit laatikoiden kyljesta, kun piti taas siirrella ja jarjestella uudestaan et saatiin kaikki mahtumaan sisalle. Jos minun ei koskaan enaa tarvii tehda tuota tyota, niin sekaan ei ole liian lyhyt aika.</p>
<p>Kotimatkalla kavin vaunua odottaessani hakemassa Nalkaisen Jaakon ravintolasta hampurilaiseineen, kun muistin etta mulla ei ole mitaan valmista ruokaa enka ollut vahaisimmassakaan maarin aikeissa alkaa valmistamaan mitaan kymmenen tunnin tyopaivan jalkeen. Ollessani poistumassa vaunusta vieressani seisoi tavallisen typeran nakoinen nuorisolainen, joka ovien avauduttua tarttui ahnaasti paivallispussiini ja ampui juoksemaan ulos. Otteeni piti ja paperi noyrtyi, japikan saaliiksi jai noin neljannes Hungry Jack'sin pussista. Se vandaali kaantyi muutaman metrin turvavalin paasta suuntaani ja huusi jotain, en ymmartanyt sanaakaan sen varkaantekeleen aantelysta. Ei se kuitenkaan kuulostanut silta etta nyt jain ilman ruokaa, voi voi. Enemmankin siina oli semmoinen "haa haa, revin sinun ateriapussin rikki" -savy. Ihme otus oli se. Muutama nainen tuli kysymaan et oonko mina kunnossa. Aika erikoinen kysymys sinansa et se hyokkays ei kohdistunut minun henkiloon vaan siihen omistamaani pikaruokaan, mut ehka ne ajatteli semmoista "syvalle sydameen sattuu" -skenaariota.</p>
<p>Paasin lopulta kotiin. Soin. Menin nukkumaan. Herasin 13 tuntia myohemmin. Ponnistelin itseni sangysta alas. Kamppailin jaakaapin oven ja mehupullon korkin auki. Olo oli kuin koomasta heranneella, tuntui et mika tahansa fyysinen ponnistus on liian ponnistava fyysinen toimitus. Ai niin muuten, siita tyosta maksettiin 15 dollaria tunnilta. Miinus verot. Eli ei melkein yhtaan mitaan. Mut kai se oli arvokas kokemus, tai jotain.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><a title="houyhnhnms.jpg" href="http://relationary.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/houyhnhnms.jpg"><img src="http://relationary.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/houyhnhnms.jpg" alt="houyhnhnms.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>I have completed my reading of the fourth part of <em>Gulliver's Travels</em>, "Journey to the Houyhnhnms", and with it completed Jonathan Swift's book.  In this part Gulliver encounters a species of horses calling themselves "Houyhnhnms", who are guided in their lives by reason and virtue, as well as a species of humans called "Yahoos", who are guided by illogic and vice.  As Gulliver comes to acquaint himself with these two species he realizes that he himself is a Yahoo, as are all humans, and finds himself not wanting to leave the company of the Houyhnhnms.  However, reason dictates that he return to the Yahoos of England and the Houyhnhnms exhort him to do so.</p>
<p>This part is not only a satire of humanity, it is a satire of nature.  No one in Jonathan's  time or our own with any knowledge of nature, of which humanity is part, would for a moment declare nature a slave to reason and virtue or free of illogic and vice.</p>
<p>Stepping back for the broader view, Jonathan's book is interesting in that it criticizes all aspects of society, however he never directly criticizes religion.  He instead talks of reason and virtue; of friendship and benevolence; never of god and god's will; never of faith and obedience.  In fact, the only reference to European religion is architecture and the inquisition.  And perhaps that is all that needs mention.</p>
<p>Of course reading the work that coins the word Yahoo and directly associates it with the word  "evil" makes for an interesting contemporary interpretation of our search engine landscape.  If we used the term Yahoo in the same way as used by Jonathan Swift, "Don't be Yahoo", would be grammatically correct.</p>

<p>I've continued my reading of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Swift">Jonathan Swift's</a> novel, <a href="http://www.jaffebros.com/lee/gulliver/contents.html"><em>Gulliver's Travels</em></a>, and have completed the Third Part. In this part we encounter the people of Laputa, so caught up in cogitation limited to music and mathematics that they are nearly unable to function in the physical world; the people of Balnibarbi, so caught up in academics that they are impoverished for lack of pragmatism; the people of Glubbdrubdrib where necromancy allows Gulliver to discover from the dead how contorted historical accounts truly are; and finally the people of Luggnagg among whom exist the immortal Struldbruggs who reveal that immortality is not necessarily everything it is hoped to be.</p>
<p>Jonathan's fiction is a journey into extremes and reveals an irreverance for each of them. All to often we idealize cognition, academics, history and immortality and Jonathan does his utmost to help us to be regrounded.</p>
