epic raamat.
nagu muuseas,
et kuna Illimar on kaljukits, peab ta silmas pidama vastavat kohta Sir Francis ellingeri raamatust „A Survey of Astrology" (London and New York, 1964), kus öeldakse, et kaljukitse tähtkujus sündinud inimeste üldisel karakteriseerimisel tuleb mäaravaks pidada kaugele arenenud, detailideni väljatöötatud eneseanalüüsi, mis oma üksikasjalisusele vaatamata on tundeline, subtiilselt närviline ja mis kaldub üledramatiseerima köikvõimalikke inimlikke olukordi ja suhteid.
(see oli väga naljakas ja relatable seik via regiast)
(olen kaljukits btw)

August 17, 2025„Surusin veel sõprade käsi, tuul sahises õites pärnades mu kohal: olime kolme peale ära joonud neli pudelit kuiva veini, samas vilistas rong. Pistsin jooksu ja jõudsin veel õigel ajal vagunisse. Uksed plaksatasid mu järel kinni, mootor võttis tuure juurde ja aegamööda liikusid väikese suvituslinna tuled akendest mööda. Perrooni kohal rippusid lambid. Ühest valgusest teise, teisest kolmandasse, siis ei midagi, ainult pimedus. Oli august. Lahtistest akendest lendas sisse nukrat jahedust ja hilissuve lõhnu.“

suured mured ja väikesed mured ja vahepealsed mured ja kas ikkagi saaks teha (head) kunsti v teadust ilma sellele elu ohverdamata? või istud selle otsas kuni sured või satud antiklimaatiliselt lis vangi? ja kas elul on yldse m6tet kui seda j22gituse elementi ei ole?
