Hibernation

-
I think it's safe to observe now that my blog is a bear and it went to sleep to hide from the cold.

Sorry about that, it was not my intention. It still is not my intention for it to be so, but I find myself unable to change it.

Trouble is that the couple of posts I've been preparing are some of the difficult ones, not just in wordiness, but generally in an I-want-them-to-be-just-right way. Then my requalification course started and threw everything in the air.

Instead of editing a millionth version of a blog post, I now find myself spending any "free time" revising history with my super cool flash cards, drawing up lists of kings, peering over books on architecture and trying to learn how to decode specific styles and periods. It's all very interesting. Also very time consuming.

More than that, the course has just advanced to the stage of our outings into the wild streets of Prague. More information to sink into my deepening pool of knowledge. It's all very nice, but I still cannot imagine myself throwing all this information on other people or shall I rather say, I cannot imagine other people being interested enough to care about historical dates, figures, styles of architecture and names.

Whilst trying to maintain an illusion of a social life, I am now under actual pressure from the unemployment office to keep applying for jobs, which doesn't make any sense at all, since I am taking a course to prepare for one and I can't actually start a job until I finish and pass the exam.

And, if all of that was not enough, in a haze of adventurous spirit and a desperate attempt not to be a boring person, I said yes to my sisters invitation to join her (i.e. a school trip from the school where she teaches) on a short trip to Nürnberg in Germany. Seriously who has turned off my brain that I agreed to do this? I don't how I'm gonna survive, because my sleep deprivation is getting worse and worse, but I plan to spy on our tour guide and see if he's doing all the things that we were taught a tour guide should be doing. hee hee. Let's have fun and pretend to be a tourist.

Results:

1) My home is deteriorating into a chaos ruled by piles of paperwork, books and clothes. I don't like it. It makes life complicated. Plus, if there is chaos in my home, it should be ruled by me.
2) My time management skills are constantly being tested and I don't think they're doing very well.

I want it to stop. I want to turn it all off, tidy my room and then curl up in my bed, with a nice cup of tea and I want to read all the books. ALL of them. I mean, there is list. A list of more than 100 books.

Not going to happen, is it?

Well, until further notice, I'm afraid this blog will stay asleep. Good night.

    That's fine. I totally understand. (All my blogs died because the effort put into writing was much bigger than the satisfaction of having them actually done.)

    I still will keep peeping in here from time to time, just in case...

    Take care!

Hudson Taylor at Electric Ballroom

Well aren't you good at patiently waiting for me to get it together? I hope the following music-y ramblings will not disappoint you. In all honesty, the timing of this post could not be any better, because Hudson Taylor's debut album has only just been released in Ireland and for the rest of us the wait is almost over. Trust me, 23rd March will be here sooner than you think. Head over to hudsontaylormusic.com to find out about how and where you can pre-order it. (Or indeed, purchase if you have the proverbial luck of the Irish :) ) Now, let me once again take you back in time, to last summer, 5th June 2014, if you want me to be date specific. On that memorable day I strolled around Regent's Park and in the evening I went to my first (and hopefully not last) concert in London. I've already talked about the supporting musicians: Kimberly Ann and the oh so amazing Flyte (still not over them!), but now comes the time to talk about the music that I

Music Monthly: September 2013

I am not even going to try and come up with an apology for this article being 2 weeks late. It just is. Deal with it :) Why not take a little mid-October brake from digging in the back of our closets, searching for where the heck are all the gloves and scarves and warm wolly sweaters, make yourself and nice cuppa of something warm and listen to a couple of songs I assembled last month. As always, it's a little bit of everything: mainstream, indie, folky... I hope you find something you like. First up, yet again, Hudson Taylor . One more song and then I'll shut up about them. Haha, as if :D  First they would have to stop producing such lovely and heart warming music and that is unlikely. (New EP is out now, go get it on iTunes!) Anyway, this is about September and there was one song in particular that spoke to me more than the others. It's one of their oldies, from a couple of years back, and it's called "Concrete Walls" . Sadly, I must say that a lot of t

Milé divadlo, chybíš mi!

Dnes je Noc divadel. Měla jsem být.. hádejte kde. Nikdy dřív jsem se Noci divadel neúčastnila, nebyla odvaha/s kým jít, ale moje posedlost láska k divadlu je čím dál silnější, a letos to mělo vyjít. Měla jsem to všechno naplánované. Měla jsem dnes být v divadle. A nejsem. Všichni víme proč. Také všichni víme, že se pravidla, respektive možnosti toho, jak divadelní představení (ne)smějí fungovat, mění téměř před očima a záhadně, občas trochu proti zdravému rozumu. Nejnovější perlička: “Divadla smějí hrát, ale bez diváků.”… Ne, nebudu to tady komentovat, nemá to smysl. Je rok 2020. Nic nedává smysl. Místo toho raději napíšu o tom, proč divadlo miluju, co mi na něm chybí a proč je živý zážitek z představení nenahraditelný. Takový malý milostný dopis pro divadlo.
