A Long December (Counting Crows)

A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaven'
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think you should

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should

tentang buku

"...u can buy many book,but u can't buy a knowledge" 081383118xxx pesan itu sampai ke ponselku beberapa saat setelah aku mengeluh pada seseorang tentang buku "detik-detik menentukan" BJ.Habibie yang tak berhasil aku peroleh dari peluncuran bukunya di hotel clarion hari ini. iya mungkin benar...aku terlalu mengharapkan buku yang ditulis mantan presiden ketiga ini.padahal ku punya begitu banyak buku yang bertumpuk di kamar. Belum pernah aku jamah sedikit pun. aku tak tahu beberapa hari terakhir ini aku begitu jauh dari buku. jauh dari para pengarang-pengarang besar dengan segala masterpiece-nya. akuy begitu malas membaca. malas membuka tiap lembar buku tebal itu dan memplototi huruf-hurufnya yang kecil. "tahu tidak...buku bisa membawa kesuatu tempat tanpa kamu harus bergesr se-inci pun" kata-kata itu selalu keluar jka aku mengeluh sedang malas baca buku... entahlah aku begit malas mengetahui tiap isinya. aku hanya terpesona pada banyak tumpukannya di kam...

Ara Belajar Ngomong

Serius Nulis Ara mulai suka ngoceh. Ada saja suara keluar dari mulutnya. Kadang jelas kadang juga tidak. Beberapa berhasil saya terjemahkan maksudnya. Beberapa mengalami missunderstand berujung pada rengekan atau aksi menarik tangan. Selain nonton lagu anak-anak, beberapa film anak-anak yang menurut saya cukup edukatif menjadi pilihan tontonannya. Saya memutarkan film Blue's Clues, Super Why, hingga Pocoyo. Serial Blue's Clues sudah kami tonton semua. Mulai dari sang pemilik Blue bernama Steve hingga beralih ke Joe adiknya di serial itu. Yang paling nyantol di kepalanya Ara adalah kata "think" sambil telunjuk memegang dahi. Itulah kata pertama yang ia ucapkan secara jelas setelah kata Mama dan Ayah. Entah kenapa kata ini yang melekat di kepalanya. Mungkin karena si Steve sangat aktraktif menyanyikan lagu jingle Blue's Clues terlebih dibagian "Sit down in thinking chair. Think, think, think". Ara juga suka bagian ketika surat datang. Dia akan i...
