It has been a while, I have watched this series "Behind Her Eyes". It is short, only 6 episodes, very interesting and crazy.

Today I translated  an excerpt  from The Eye, in the book  Dear Life by Ali c e Munro: When I was five years old my parents all of a sudden produced a baby boy, which my mother said was what I had always wanted. Where she got this idea I did not know. She did quite a bit of elaborating on it, all fictitious but hard to counter.

The TV screen is a flat high-definition one that Ewan bought so he could watch hockey and football games on it. Constance would rather have the old fuzzy one back, with its strangely orange people and its habit of rippling and fading: there are some things that do not fare well in high definition. She res...
