I was actually planning this feature for quite some time now, I just wish I could launch it with some less difficult topic. The idea is that I take an article I read and write the first five sentences that come to mind about the issue it covers. Meaning I don’t just write about that particular article, but mainly my opinion and whatever else comes to mind. Now about this first topic, it was very hard to do just that. Because I struggled to stop at five sentences, and because just yesterday I got criticized for being silent about this…
Another week went by and I cannot believe how close we are to the end of this year already. Once again I had to find that bad things happening to me somehow raise my creativity. And being fired from your job is indeed a bad thing. There are also a number of reasons why I should be grateful and happy about this, starting with the fact that working there was a bad decision for me in the first place, but being fired still sucks. Anyway, I have a lot of new plans and ideas and I am ahead of what needs…
Happy Sunday, everyone! This past one turned out to be only a two day working week for me. I was not so politely asked by my not so polite superior to take some days off while she’s going to be in the office, so we are not gonna have to meet. At one point in my forced holiday (that I have spent out of town) I was even grateful for her, feeling that I really needed these days off. Nevertheless, I spent some time thinking about my future in this job where I mostly have to spend 10+ hours per…
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert Why I never had to read this one in high school, I cannot recall now, probably it would have been due at the time when we skipped a whole shool year’s curriculum with our rather negligent teacher. So it’s just one of the classics that I missed out back then, but now there’s only a few left that I haven’t made up yet. Anyway, it’s better late than never…
Is there any woman who has not ever had a public fashion emergency? I happened to have mine, a major one, on my last and busiest day in my current job recently. As any of us, I have occasionally had nightmares about stained shirts, torn dresses, and yes, every once in a while I thought about broken heels too, but I have always managed to dismiss the idea as swift as it came. This time though it not only stick in my head, but even became a reality. Of course, what could be a better timing for your shoe to…
Actually, I had two other questions submitted that were better than this one. 🙂 Nevertheless, it was nice of him doing this whole Q&A thing. Unfortunately I missed the one with Aaron Sorkin a few weeks ago, and didn’t submit any questions for John Gallagher Jr either, so I was happy to be able to participate in this one. Also, imo the last ep of The Newsroom was the best so far! 🙂
Well I love it, I love it, I love it… it’s no surprise. 🙂 Of course I read the negative criticism, but for me, I absolutely got what I expect when I sit down and watch a show like this: a story that I can relate to, something that can happen in real life (actually, it did), smart conversations, something to keep your mind working the whole time. And yes, “sorkinisms”, with this feeling that he with his excellent writing can create, that the world can actually be changed. 🙂 I honestly hope it’s gonna be a hit, with numerous…
It was so hard to avoid spoilers for two days… 🙂
