winter is coming 

21/12/2018

winter is coming... 

On the last day of my Vienna in this stint, or rather this semester, I went with a dear friend to an apartment just opposite a park. The park had a small urban garden project happening too, and there were basil plants in it. It was not as cold as it had been but there was quite a wind blowing through, and that was really chilly. We were planning to pick out the Basil leaves, letting other people’s labour bear us fruit, or rather bear us some spice. 

We were exact on time for our appointment, and over the next few minutes the plot thickened, our plans were going to be quashed it seemed. It had been quite something - these past few months and the last year overall for me. Same for my friend, in very different ways. We aren’t the closest of friends, and I won’t say too much for the fear of jinxing it, but having met her a couple of weeks back, we did hit it off. And I don’t think either of us were clear about how we both were there and cooking up plans like that. What we knew for certain in this moment was that it was sinking. 

And sinking it had been. Transitions are difficult, and however much of a nomadic person I might or might not be, with age it does become more and more difficult. No wonder this blog is now named with the number to a place which was home. It’s been a bit since I left that place, and have been yearning for for home since. It’s not yet been. But it has been quite a ride. 

House hunting, I met a person, who was working on a drone project at UN. We discussed the fucked up politics of United Nations, and despite his own UN project which revolved around drones in a country in Africa (that I hadn’t even heard about, and don’t even remember now) being an interesting one, how in the larger scheme of things, even that was fucked up. 

There was a flat I applied for which had 150 applicants (the chances were more difficult than the PhD program I am enrolled for!!! :O ). In another appointment, I met a couple of smokers, who were doing multiple rounds of interview for their flatshare, and the second round of interview (which I was shortlisted for... yayyyy!!) was basically having a joint with them (and was then rejected... blah!! well, the joint was so good, so i guess that counts for something. 

At a few places, I was told directly that I couldn’t have the place because I wasn’t a european, in some other ways, more subtler hints of racism were used - at least they were taking the effort. I met a person who was into japanese thingies, and had a rice cooker which had options of settings for the kind of rice that one wants to cook - sticky, balmy, i don't even remember the rest of the options. But she served me a lovely tea.

One had gone through a miscarriage, and her mother was detected with cancer, and wasn’t sure about living with her current flatmate, also because maybe if things went well with her new boyfriend, they might have been moving in together.

I met another one who drew me a bath the first day of my moving in, because there was a family emergency and after keeping my stuff there, I was just flying to India. And, then later after I was back I had come back, we went to a small intimate concert, we went to the christmas market, so on... 

My cousin who lives in Lille (in France), asked me what it meant when I said Austria is richer, and how does it translate and so on. We were also talking about how white Austria is and the society could be quite insular, and with the language barrier, it becomes more. I was telling her that the public transport system is great, they don't even bother having ticket checking machines on entries to metro or the tram or the bus or whatever. They just don’t bother.

But did I tell her that the public transport system in Vienna is completely accessible? Did I tell her that the cars stopped for people waiting on the crossing? And generally how life on the street becomes softer. I wonder if we discussed what it meant not to having ticket checking machines like in Paris. Did it mean that not regulating people flow like that, not disciplining the crowd like that, had some implication in the larger scheme of things? I don’t know if we discussed all this. But I was discussing with someone how is it good to be poorer in a richer country. And Vienna has a lot of that. It’s of course not easy for the poorest of poor, but when you are doing work like I do, and earn like I do, all the public services you can get is welcome and great. 

Being in such a weather is also something. I used to feel colder than it was, because I was also constantly told, that this wasn’t cold enough now, and that it will get colder. In anticipation, I would shiver. And had started talking like yeah, it ain’t that cold - it’s 1.5 degrees. hahahhahaha... Cold Vienna can get-in weather and otherwise. But the beggar near my academy U Bahn station always smiled and greeted me. I had just once given him something, and that day was something else itself - otherwise I really don’t break the rule. 

Another evening, a frustrated lonely one I was on the U Bahn by myself, and this old person came sat right opposite me and just smiled and me. He very obviously didn’t know english, but we did share that smile. When I got off, incidentally he also did, and then he turned to me and in the broken english said - have a good day and left. Made my day :) 

Last evening I went to the Kebab shop close to the academy. I had only once been there before but today went I asked for a falafel box, the place had become a chinese place!!! That guy said he kept switching between the two cuisines. And I don’t know why but he gave me a free extra beer, and a fortune cookie. My fortune cookie read ‘tonight destiny has something special planned for you’. Having gutted down two beers, and a noodle with crispy duck and teriyaki sauce, when my friend called in I was like let’s go for a drink. 

We went to a place called cafe benno. She apparently had a history at that place. And it was interesting how in a twisted way that cafe had had intersections with her life. Sometimes in ways in which she hadn't even gone there. And sometimes not reaching there was what was the cause of things. It was also very interesting that these happenings and non happenings were seen by my friend as ‘new beginnings’.

This evening we did reach, and there we met a couple at the bar, who were very intrigued by this indian man, who had long hair, beard, and ate beef!!! The one drink turned out to be a long one, and we reached back only by four! And here we were the next day, at this flat getting our plans shattered. I had earlier in the day gone to the library, where the librarian didn’t take a minute to process my request for having books for two extra straight months because I was traveling for research, instead of the scheduled month long issuals. That day things were supposed to go well, and fine, and not the crisis that we were caught in this moment. 

The street where the park was, the urban garden was called max winter plaza. The door of the apartment had a notice saying ‘winter is coming’ - a signage basically for the door NOT to be left open. It really felt like the winter was now coming. But maybe winter is not such a bad thing after all. Look at this landscape I am flying over - all snowed in.

Now, I can’t wait to come back in March, and see the story unfold. 

The Winter is surely coming, and it is NOT a bad thing at all. 

Maybe the summer will come soon too. 

Here’s to winters, summers, and cafe bennos... :)

Top 5 things you haven’t done yet but would love to do (like a bucket list I guess?? 😂)

Oh oh what a question!! Some of these were easy to come up with, there’s a lot I want to do with my life and I’ve got a lot of time ahead of me so!

1. Travel! There are some specific places I’d like to go to, including Ireland, Belgium, and Austria. Ireland and Belgium because I know I have family documents available to find in both places (Belgium especially because I still have family living there!!), and Austria just because I really want to go to Austria—the dream is to see the Spanish Riding School and then go to the Musikverein and see the Vienna Philharmonic. I once had a friend tell me I belonged in Vienna, which is probably also part of why I want to go, but as an equestrian and musician there is just. a lot I want to see there! Plus also travel is just cool in general. Other places I’d like to go include Scotland, Lithuania, and Israel, both for travel and family purposes. Amsterdam and Copenhagen are also on the list but I may have the chance to go to both while at university, so fingers crossed!!

2. Finish my novel. Does this count? I think it counts. I have so many little thoughts in my head but getting them down on the paper is hard! I’ve got my discord server for it though, really pleased folks are interested in it, and that helps keep me motivated. In eighth grade my advanced learning program teacher gave me the “Most Likely to Become a Published Author” award, which surprised me, but now I’m hoping she was right. Mostly I just like screaming about my characters to the world.

3. I have this…slightly odd goal to learn all the languages my ancestors spoke? Like, within what’s still possible to learn. I’m currently studying Yiddish, German, Gàidhlig, Hebrew, Italian, and French. Languages I’ve started studying previously but are sort of “on pause” are Russian, Irish, Dutch, and Latin. I want to add Romanian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, and Flemish (specifically the dialects spoken in my family) to the list!

4. This one’s kind of simple, but I’d like to learn how to rope a steer! My mom knows how, and my family still keeps cattle, but I’ve always wanted to learn how to properly throw a lasso. Since this one’s simpler, I’ll also add in that I’d like to learn to drive with a (horse) trailer the way my mom can. There’s a lot of cool stuff my mom can do, including weld. Don’t know how I ended up with such a cool mom.

5. Okay this one was hard to pick but. It’s between getting my PhD and…eating a macaron. I cannot eat macarons because they use almond flour and I would like to remain alive. Conversely, I really want to get that doctorate. Hopefully I’ll do both!

#i’m already on track to get my masters in the next five-ish years hopefully!! #but anyways yeah there’s A Lot going on in my little brain that i would like to accomplish #honorable mention goes to working for a governmental agency #it’s not on the list bc it’s likely going to happen next semester! #or in like a year but you get my point #oh also additional honorable mention to learning the mandolin. bc if i learn that then i can be my own bluegrass band #there’s a lot of stuff i want to do though so this is honestly just a short list but it did make me think about priorities! #thanks for the ask! #alyssa speaks #asked and answered #top 5 ask game #quicksiluers

plot ideas

the best friend - they’re the opposite of vienna and brings out the carefree side of her. her personal stylist, confidant, and the one person who doesn’t constantly judge or make fun of her likes and dislikes. they’re her platonic soulmate and actually takes interest in what vienna’s into.

robot nerds - should be around the same age as her and were on the same robotics team as they were. one of their biggest inventions is a robot that can theoretically contact aliens, but it may be faulty, WHO KNOWS.

scooby gang - a group of nerds who believe in aliens, ghosts, and other things that go bump in the night. like to run their own “investigations” but they aren’t that serious. it’s mostly just fun and games--or so they claim. she’s velma, so in need of shaggy, scooby, daphne, and fred.

the aldritch kids - the rest of the kids!! she’s the second youngest, so the youngest and the eldest are still needed. liv’s got a better idea of how the family works, so please get in touch with her, but make themmmmm!

the impacted - i wasn’t sure what else to call them, but the kids who have been impacted by all the craziness this town provides, mainly the “abductions” from all those decades ago. i’d love for her to have a couple of close friends who know what she’s going through (though i prefer her best friend to not be one of them).

New SpaceTime out Monday: SpaceTime 20210208 Series 24 Episode 13 Strange new clues about how stars are made Astronomers may have discovered some strange new clues about the processes involved in creating a star. Understanding the secrets of neutron stars Scientists have found evidence of alpha particles at the surface of neutron-rich heavy nuclei – a discovery which could provide new insights into the structure of neutron stars, as well as the process of alpha decay. Iran’s latest nuclear missile test Iran says its successfully carried out a missile test. The launch marked another breach of Tehran’s nuclear weapons ban treaty – ratified by United Nation’s Security Council Resolution 2231 -- 2015 Vienna accord -- which prohibits the islamic republic from developing missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. SpaceX rocket in fiery crash After what looked like a flawless launch and climb to altitude SpaceX’s SN9 Starship test article crashed and burned during an explosive landing attempt at its Texas test site. The Science Report Novavax claims its new COVID-19 vaccine has demonstrated an 89.3% efficacy in UK phase 3 trials. Our world is losing ice at record rate The US Air Force says it’s new B-21 stealth bomber should start test flights by the middle of next year. Brains of musicians have stronger structural and functional connections than non-musicians. Skeptic's guide to asparagus clairvoyance SpaceTime covers the latest news in astronomy & space sciences. The show is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through Apple Podcasts (itunes), Stitcher, Google Podcast, Pocketcasts, SoundCloud, Bitez.com, YouTube, your favourite podcast download provider, and from www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com SpaceTime is also broadcast through the National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio and on both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio. SpaceTime daily news blog: http://spacetimewithstuartgary.tumblr.com/ SpaceTime facebook: www.facebook.com/spacetimewithstuartgary SpaceTime Instagram @spacetimewithstuartgary SpaceTime twitter feed @stuartgary SpaceTime YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceTimewithStuartGary SpaceTime -- A brief history SpaceTime is Australia’s most respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two and a half million downloads a year. The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, spaceflight, and science. SpaceTime features interviews with leading Australian scientists about their latest research. The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network. Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor. Gary – who had been invited to undertake a PHD in Astronomy -- wrote, produced and hosted StarStuff, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience (based on the ABC’s Neilsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth). The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually. However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and after a redirection of available finances to increase sport and horse racing coverage. Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could continue the show independently. The show was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016. Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer technology, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is now published three times a week and is also available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.
