sex-and-the-city therapy

the best:

"I love you.....very much so.....but I love me more"

"how come we write our own vows but we cannot write our own rules?"

monday finds me ..

starting a new job

and wondering why would someone wear a pair of glasses that were already old in 1978

literally, without the magnifier

packing

when one has many trips, suitcases and to-do lists, inspiration doesn't come easily
all my thoughts are in:

on sunday i go to country E
to come back the following friday to country B
to leave on the tuesday to country C
to come back after three weeks to country B
to leave again for country C after another three
to eventually move to country D

and pack the appropiate suitcases

is it me, or has the world gone crazy?

the most useful and practical thing to do, indeeeeed
as per today's news:

Diamantes para Hamilton
El piloto británico estrenará en Mónaco un casco con diamantes incrustados

Diamonds for Hamilton
The British driver will run in Monaco with a diamond encrusted helmet

the simplicity of my life

bank manager:
"so you are from country A
you live, but not officially, in country B
you are going to live and work in country C o D
you will be paid by an organisation from country E
and if relevant, you will be paying taxes in country F"
me:
"yes, that's pretty much it"

cultural idosyncrasies

In English, the expression is to warm a house,
in Spanish "estrenas una casa", meaning you 'wear it' for the first time
in French, you have a "Pendaison de crémaillère", expression orginary from the Middle ages, meaning you add the last bit of the house, the piece that allows you to cook in the chimney

others?

quirky

from quirk: an aspect of somebody's personality or behaviour that is a little strange

i could go back to Foucault's Madness and Civilization, or take it as a compliment

good mood in different countries

"Il y a pas dra", drama shortened Cote d'Ivoirian way
"No Stress", Brazilian styly
"Keep Smiling", Indian version
"Don't worry, be happy", Bobby Mcferrin cheering up song

Acting thought of the week

It's the thoughts we act on, and not the ones we don't, that make us who we are

where will i be next week?

monday was a one day return trip to a country
tuesday was a trip to another country
saturday i will back in another

for someone looking for a bit of stability
this is certainly not the way to go
but hey, inshallah, out of these trips
it will finally arrive
