Look, it's a mind-freeing question! It's about time I got around to answering one for a change.
   I don't think I feel sunk in monotony today, although it's been an ordinary one: some Pinterest, some Late Late Show, some keyboard exercise, some knitting, and some reading. I'm actually trying to study a  bit of business economics, which I know ( Read more... )

or more work you actually enjoy doing? Hi, sorry I've been away again, but yesterday was kind of busy, involving lots of packing, and some paperwork, including writing and sending out a bill. I still haven't heard from the housing people, and I'm starting to panic, very mildly and slowly, but no less irritatingly. I've become such an optimist in ( Read more... )

   I'm back. I didn't have the energy to blog yesterday, because I spent most of the day reading and answering e-mails and filling in the grant application, which seems to be the most important thing in my life right now. Or, if not the most important thing, certainly the most time-consuming thing. I'll be happy when I can finally mail it, because ( Read more... )

   Ahh, computers. The harddrive on my laptop finally gave up, and that's the reason I've been away from the blog since Monday. I was able to access internet on my phone, thank goodness, but I knew I would never have the patience to write anything lengthy on it, so I simply gave the blog a miss, again. I'm writing this on my mom's laptop, which she ( Read more... )

   Today I went to the dentist, and they told me it's not possible to do anything about that front tooth just yet, because it seems there's a festering infection at the root, and putting in a filling would only postpone the problems. They just took some x-rays and gave me another appointment. Of course I would prefer to have both my front teeth ( Read more... )

   I think this is one of the most cryptic questions on the list, and I don't know how to interpret it. Achieved what?  If I had achieved nothing, I'd have no gained ground to lose, true, but I think it's possible to lose a great deal going after what you think you want most. I'm not overly ambitious, and I do mean overly ambitious. I'm ambitious ( Read more... )

   I'm having lots of questions as entry titles these days. This one is another mind-freeing question. It is liberating to think about good times, feelings and thoughts, whether in the past or in the present. It's hard for me to answer this, not because I can't remember the last time I felt passionate and alive, but rather because I feel rather ( Read more... )

   Wow, that's a difficult one. I have lots of happy childhood memories, of playing with my friends and with my parents, going to the amusement park and the zoo, and of course celebrations, like Christmas, and birthdays, but it's impossible to pick one particular memory over all others. I think, on the whole, the most beautiful memories, that I'll ( Read more... )

   Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset?  Does it really matter now?
As you can see, the mind-freeing question for today has two parts, and it doesn't fit into the entry title space. It's not all a matter of perspective, which would be funny, it's simply too big.
   I went to have lunch with my godmother today, it's ( Read more... )

   That's a cheerful question, isn't it? I don't think my greatest fear has come true, and I think it's a bit of a contradiction in terms, because once it comes true, it's less of a fear and more of a catastrophe, or at any rate a thing that happened to me. I didn't die on the operation table during my heart surgery, and I think that has been my ( Read more... )
