Psycho under min hatt

Beatrice is on fire, almost obsessed, after she took the decision to take up the fight and find Kenneth and Violeta. She's in full swing mocking and scolding her ex, Kenneth. She is on top of her own talents and feels great and powerful. She thinks that Kenneth is a poor man with miniature fantasies. She explains what she plans to do with him when she finds him. All the time, he claimed that she is sick and needs medicine. But she doesn't see it this way. She is healthy, but she possesses special talents. That's not a problem. It's fantastic. And she believes that her daughter is like her. Beatrice wants to take crude revenge on Kenneth for having kidnapped Violeta. And to rub it in, she plans to wear the partly burnt wedding dress on the day she finds him. She rhetorically asks if Kenneth really thinks that the two of them were ever good together? Her highest wish of getting a daughter is fulfilled. He cannot give her anymore what she already has...



Give me an honest answer

En for orgelet, en for meg

Every night, Beatrice is sitting up in the attic, wearing her old wedding dress, drinking vodka while playing the pump organ and smoking cigarettes. She enters a kind of psyched up trance. The organ and the vodka fill up the attic with something that she experiences like a religious force. She goes into a state of intoxicated fantasy, or foresight, where she hears her daughter's voice, among other things. She continues drinking until the demons come out, and she shoots a bigger and bigger hole into the ceiling with her shotgun. In the end, she marries her own demons, under the hole in the roof, and looks up at the starry sky of lead that she shot by herself. She is one with the divine, and she's in the center of her own cosmos. She is her own Maker. She is not sick, but she isn't healthy either...

Beatrice is vagrantly wandering about in her tumble-down house, and she's talking to herself and to all the demons she is fighting in her head. As usual, she is clad in her old wedding dress, smelling of gasoline and vodka, with a cigarette in the corner of her mouth. She also went through a hard school with all her thoughts. She's been in an existential crisis ever since Kenneth ran aways with Violeta, and Beatrice has been incapable of action and unable to get a grip on her life, and she now developed a twisted and different philosophy of life. A five-four-time philosophy. After the explosion (Sju bøtter tårer er nok, Beatrice), she actually sees all the links clearly again. The experiences are amplified like in a natural psychadelic ecstacy. The boundaries between dream, fantasy, and reality are blurred. She praises all the beautiful things that her talents can give, and she mocks Kenneth, who is a realist and doesn't believe in other energies than those that can be measured. She rants about creativity, dreams, and the power of thoughts, and she asks rhetorically if these things aren't real as well? She threatens that those who cannot manage to imagine the alternative must obviously be dead. She reminds Kenneth that even though he was naturally born, this doesn't mean that he gets a natural death...


What will you say if we meet again in the next life?

Sju bøtter tårer er nok, Beatrice

After 14 years together, Kenneth runs away from his wife, together with his daughter Violeta. She's seven years old when they flee. He cannot stand Beatrice's demanding and eccentric life-style anymore, and he hides in the world by remaining in movement all the time. Beatrice is left behind in a paralysed state, unable to take action, alone in the big house. Apparently she develops a psychotic behavior marked by compulsive acts. She's grieving, and she fills up a bucket with tears every year, but after seven years she's empty. She doesn't see any way out but to take her life. She puts a stick of dynamite underneath her chair and lights the fuse. In the time it takes for the fuse to burn, Beatrice gets into contact with Violeta in a dream. She decides there and then to go out into the world and bring her daughter back - and take revenge on the father. At the last second, she throws the stick of dynamite out of the window, while she runs for the door. Seven years of sorrow save her when her wedding dress catches fire in the explosion. She douses the flames by emptying the buckets of tears on herself. It's the calm before the storm. The rain is applauding on the roof tiles, and the band is playing in minor key in the back streets. Something is on the way. It's the mood for revenge. The pigeons on the roof have never been so quiet. Nature reacts. Huge powers are in motion...

I Ett Med Verden

Here we get a glimpse of what is simmering inside Kenneth's head at the time when everything peaks, and he decides to escape from his crazy wife and take his daughter with him. All the strange things that are happening around him boil down to one simple conclusion: Get away! After a long period of planning, a period where everything is apparently hunky dory, as if nothing had happened or would happen, the time is finally right to carry out the plan - and take ONE with him ...

Ser uno con el mundo.

Durante los últimos 32 días antes de mi exmen profesional se colocará a diario una canción en orden cronológico de los tres volúmenes de Violeta Violeta.

Beatrice raises her daughter Violeta and transfers her life's wisdom to her: All that you can dream can also happen. You don't have to accept all limits that you meet in life, but you should rather search for new openings and opportunities, and be guided by your heart. Beatrice has qualities and talents surpassing those of ordinary men, and she's sure that her daughter inherited these special qualities. And so she wants to help her use her talents instead of fearing and suppressing them, like the father Kenneth wants her to. He kidnapped his own daughter and is on the run with her in the wide world, just to avoid Violeta becoming like her mother. Beatrice is balancing between being mentally sound and ill. She's hallucinating, and sometimes she thinks that she hears someone ringing at the door. She knows that's not real, but nevertheless she's asking: Is it you? Come in and get yourself some coffee...

Banana, for scale

En algunos sitios de carga de imágenes se comenzó a utilizar una banana dentro de una fotografía para tener una idea del tamaño real de un objeto en cuestión. Se puede apreciar de manera más sencilla en la infografía de cómo ser un papá.

Aunque esta inusual forma de medida, utilizada por primera vez en 2005 para una televisión en venta, y sabemos que no es un buen remplazo de una regla; una propiedad de esta fruta se utiliza para tener una idea respecto a los riesgos de la radiación comparando con la ingesta de un plátano común y corriente. La banana equivalent dose o dosis equivalente a un plátano, es la dosis de radiación recibida al ingerir un plátano. Para no extender la definición de radiación, esta se puede entender como un fenómeno que ocurre en núcleos de elementos inestables, con la capacidad de transformarse o decaer, de manera espontánea, en núcleos atómicos de otros elementos más estables. El Sievert (Sv) mide la dosis de radiación absorbida por materia viva, corregida pro los posibles efectos biológicos producidos.

Regresando a las bananas, tienen material radioactivo de manera natural en la forma de Potasio-40 (⁴⁰K) la dosis equivalente a un plátano pudo originarse en el corredor de seguridad nuclear RadSafe en 1995 donde se sugiere que una banana estándar de 150 gramos tendría un valor de 9.82x10^-8 sieverts,alrededor de 0.1μSv. Este valor es muy útil en intentar explicar dosis infinitesimales y sus riesgos infinitesimales correspondientes al público. 

No obstante, este valor no debería significar preocupación alguna, además que la dosis en el cuerpo humano debido a las bananas no es acumulativa, por que el potasio (y por ende el Potasio-40) es bastante constante debido a la homeostasis, así que cualquier exceso absorbido de la comida se compensa rápidamente por la eliminación de una cantidad equivalente. De ello resulta que la radiación adicional dura unas pocas horas después que su ingestión.

Como dice el adagio en latín sola dosis facit venenum (la dosis hace el veneno) indicando el principio básico de la toxicología, los plátanos, junto con otros alimentos ricos en potasio como las papas, semillas de girasol y nueces; se necesitaría comer una cantidad ridículamente grande como para poder considerarla peligrosa. El simple hecho de vivir en el planeta Tierra significa una dosis de radiación 60 veces mayor.

Una radiografía dental equivale a comerse 50 bananas mientras que los electrones acelerados por las televisiones o monitores "cuadrados" generan rayos X con el fin de encender la pantalla, sin embargo la intensidad es tan baja que su uso por un año equivale únicamente a 10 bananas, aunque probablemente este tipo de tecnología se empiece a ver en los museos en algunos años. El lugar más radioactivo en la tierra es el reactor 4 que explotó en Chernobyl, Ucrania el cual emite 300 sieverts por hora, o lo que es igual a 3,000,000,000 bananas, y continuará así por aproximadamente 240,000 años. Cualquier persona que entre en el edificio con o sin vestimenta de protección moriría en menos de una hora por todas esas bananas.
