The One With The Winter Swimming

8km run + winter swimming in an ice-cold river.

I guess it's about time I started doing foolish things. Better now - people will get used to and won't get surprised in the future, when I'm old(er).

The One With Either A Good Deed Or Something Like It

An old lady came to me at the library and asked if I had some time to spare.
I automatically said no, thinking she wanted to give me speech about either God or politics, or maybe hand me some leaflets, or something similar.
But then she specified that she was looking for someone to help her finish an official letter that she needed for court; she had a pendrive where the draft document had already been stored; she had a ton of handwritten notes, official letters etc. and she wanted some paragraphs to be added to the document. She knew where the library computer room was (I didn't) and that you could use a computer there to work and print the results, as she had done before with - I assumed - help of some other kind soul.
It felt pretty weird spending an hour with a strange old lady who knew computers and pendrives and such, but still looked like all that technology was kind of magic for her, so she used it as a black box and needed someone to operate it for her.

The One With The Origami Cranes

An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Some stories believe you are granted eternal good luck, instead of just one wish, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury.

I've got injured and so I'm not able to act out and decompress the way I usually do - by some physical activity, most preferably: dancing or running.
So I'm making origami cranes in order to, well, just do something that will take my mind off my life.

(Yeah, it's been a tough week... Fortunately, remote virtual hugs help to some degree).

The One With Prince Charming.Or The One With The Most Sensible Decision.Or The One With The Problem With Relationships

It's just that - I'm no princess...

But is the sensible choice the right one?

And the problem with relationships is not that you can mess up your own life - that's actually the easy part.
The real problem is: you can mess up someone else's life - and have to learn to live with it.

The One Where You Turn Up 15 Minutes Late And Still Make It To The Trailers

Big Hero 6

Surprisingly good. Watching this animation was an experience quite opposite to watching Brave - which I had expected to be fabulous and magical, but which turned out a mother/daughter soap opera... I thought Big Hero 6 would be juvenile version of Avengers, but it is actually quite a funny movie. Very predictable and containing plenty of loopholes in the storyline - but since the narrative is fast and the film is visually stunning you do not have time to dwell over some minor inconsequences.

Stay tuned.
