I was working on my master’s thesis when I found this brilliant, yet simple, book about qualitative data management/analysis.
Highly recommended if You are researching or… want to find out what is this “life peppered with personal tragedy”.. ;]
"People, being what they are, rebel against all sorts of things: social injustice, political dictatorship, intolerance, repression. Others believe their lot in life has very little to offer. They’ve got no idea what they want, but they sense that it must be better than what they have. These people become travelers, to find the thing they imagine, or artists, to create what they seek: they paint, they compose, they write or sing, as if some perfect note will suddenly bring the thing that they desire to life in all its splendor."
— Cecilia Urbina “A Tuesday Like Today” p. 50
overloads
So, I decided to start using this blog because recently my brain is overloaded… This overload is caused by travels/places, studies, movies, music, people, architecture, theater, the Internet, food and drinks, etc. Basically, most of the things I am going to write here are for myself but maybe someone will find them interesting too.
Sometimes I am going to write in English, sometimes in Lithuanian.. maybe even in Italian, when it will be sufficient enough :) There also might be times when a language is not important at all..
Okay,
there are some things I want to share immediately. I was waiting for the professor to answer to my e-mail.This took quite a lot of time because you know…Italians.. :) This was the week when my brain got overloaded with movies. Here are two of them:
UPSIDE NMOⱭ a fantastic love story about not giving up when somebody already did.
and Anna Karenina a well known love story. Overwhelmed me. I am a bit skeptical about all kinds of adaptions of this book because it’s just too hard to imagine the story in any other format. But this is absolutely another case, it stood up. The transitions between scenes! In short, a must see…
I think this is it for the first time. You can also expect to find some photos, music, and all kinds of things that happen to me or inspire me.. and there is simply not enough space in my head to grasp all of them :)
For example, a photo of a cafè in Florence, Italy. This photo was taken with a purpose to not forget the place and come back for a drink.. I might upload more things like that which are useful for me and, of course, for those who plan to visit places..
