Don't lose heart and continue with your efforts - everything will work out.Those were the soothing words the Astrocenter tarot reading had for me. After advising me that today might be kind of tough going...
Let's see what happens.

408311
Have you ever noticed that some PINs – or number combinations in general – are much easier to remember than others?
The generator gave me 408311 today, which struck me as one of the ones you need to look at twice before you enter it.
On the other hand, there are some numbers that are so good they stay with you for ever and ever. Like my first Colorado license plate: MW 9552. Even though I can't explain exactly why I find this one easy to recall...
Anyway: have a good day!

The imitation Picasso haiku
Some eyes like targets
somewhere, some nippled boobs,
a hoof, Mae West lips.
– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2014)
Note
Inspired by a painting from a Berlin art show photo. Would love to reproduce it here for better understanding, but fairness forbids.

Roja
Watched Mani Ratnam's Roja from 1992 again after a long time. Enjoyed it immensely (despite its obvious flaws). Fabulous music by A. R. Rahman.

Oh help me
My muze
has got the blues
She couldn’t care less –
so there goes any hope for success

The Mark Rothko haiku
Two bed sheets, one black,
the other vaguely blue, strung
together to dry.
– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2014)
Note
You might have guessed it: Mark Rothko is not among my favorite painters. Even though the entire art world seems to be all gaga about his big two- or three-colored bed sheets.

New Google Maps
The new Google Maps is SHIT.
Why does Google proclaim this is easier to use? The exact opposite is true.
All the essential tools and options are no longer displayed where they used to be (and should be), but hidden behind some nincompoop icon.

The Roman neighbor girl on Saturday morning haiku
This house has thin walls –
and she’s already on a
full-fledged whinging binge.
– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2014)
The truth and nothing but the (un)poetic truth. Razor edge of time reporting.

The Modigliani haiku
Squinty little eyes
and narrow face? Good chance it’s
an Amedeo.
– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2014)
Note
The above painting is Gypsy woman with baby (1919) by Amedeo Modigliani.

The no idea haiku
This one has not a
single idea. It lives in
things, in things only.
– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2014)
Note
This one toys with the well-known and often quoted William Carlos Williams’ statement “No ideas but in things.” Actually, it fails on both accounts – it has neither ideas nor things... It is a very reticent poem, one might say.
Recommended viewing: Poets United.
