PRISM GLASSES

 

Ideas

• Buy buttons in bright colours to refresh old coats and button-up pants.
• Cut off a few pair of all pants right above the ankle.
• Buy white shirts in boys section.
• Buy a small notebook to right those ideas down instead of jotting them down on post-its.

I love Spinning

Well…not really. Mine has much more to do with me sweating all over the motionless bike to the rhythm of hit pop songs. Oh yes, and with those 5 kilos I’m about to loose this month.

I’m actually liking it…

September & PhD Comic

While the kids and teenagers all over Poland attend their first day of school I am working from home.

I must say I am loving the contemporary approach to work in corporations, namely flexibility. I can work on report while watching TV and my washing machine cooperates with me in emptying the laundry bucket.

However, today I am trying to squeeze some time to work on my school application as well, as I should really have it sent by Monday.

Getting into grad school is what I really want right now.

Some of the reasons you can find here.

Awesome, awesome read!!

Easter Monday

My Constant Person has recently fulfilled his dream and bought SAAB convertible.

Unfortunately, so far the weather hasn’t been accomodating enough to have the roof taken down. Until yesterday that is.

After family breakfast we went for a drive. With the roof down and scarf on my head. We were headed to the small town at the seaside and went for a walk.

The sea was so calm, it looked more like a lake. I like to think that this small trip was a preview of how this summer is going to look like. Driving to the countryside, lakes and beaches. Sun and relax.

mad men

My current TV obsession.

Once upon a time in the city of New York, long before political correctness there was an advertising company. Situated on Madison Avenue it brought the name on them: Mad Men. Or if you want the truth…they coined the name.

I read that in US a trend based on Mad Men style was created; clothes and gadgets. It is indeed appealing. However, what I find most attracting is the absolute honesty regarding social rules.

As I said, loooong before political correctness.

I can’t wait till Friday evening when I am going to treat myself to a marathon of first season.

the group

Before Sex and The City there was The Group – the story of 8 female graduates from Vassar College between 1933 and 1940.

Location?

Well, duh. New York City.

It’s a surprisingly honest tale of making something of oneself in times of economic breakdown, Hitler’s shadow and the fact that school is over. Suitable marriage or love affair, women’s doctors and contraception, nursing a baby over giving it a bottle, psychoanalysis, New Deal, money, lesbians, communism, cooking and theatre. Freud, Roosevelt,Mussolini, Trotsky.

The book made me think about choices I made once I got my fancy degree. And about what it meant to be a woman in the ’30 and how some things just failed to change.
