 Upcoming Changes | Oct. 5th, 2006 @ 10:12 pm  |

Hiya!
I'm back home and finally able to resume my life. Most of September was spent on the island of Susak with Mom, who was recuperating splendidly from her leg injury, and this weekend we finally got back to Zagreb, in preparation for her trip to the States. Actually, I still haven't gotten confirmation that she got there -- what with her bad English and a metal implant in her leg that just might trigger off alarm systems, I hope something hasn't gone badly. But my brother will be there, and he'll surely be able to help if something untoward does indeed happen.
Meanwhile, things are beginning to go back to normal. I had limited internet access on Susak, but frankly, I thought it best to spare you the woes of my inner turmoils at the time. Having decided to lay off active involvement in the movie business and film criticism for a while, I had to do a lot of soul-searching on the ways in which to readjust my -- well, my whole life to the circumstances. Frankly, I didn't come up with any magic answers: all I did was apply myself to my translating chores, and tried to lead a balanced life. It helped, to a point; and after a month of thinking, I also figured out what to do with my online presence.
This journal will undergo a bit of a facelift (I'm not too tech-savvy, so don't expect a beautiful page!), a change of name, and a change of purpose. Once a week, no more, I'll post a short essay on a topic that tickles my fancy. And that'll be basically it -- until I'm comfortable going anywhere within a proverbial ten-foot pole of my personal life. The upshot is that the essays will be the only essays I write: I won't be doing any sneaky Croatian-language film-reviewing and essay-writing on the side, designed for publication in media that noone reads. I'll tackle things from movies and literature to the blogging/forum culture and the more general issues of the world we live in -- a wider scope than the reviewing of your usual blockbuster du jour gives you, and even if noone reads these short pieces (why would you, if I'm so notorious with replying to your replies?), it will provide an outlet for my various ruminations.
Anyway, this is coming as soon as I redesign the page. Meanwhile, Mom just called from Dr. Brother's car -- she's safe and sound in New Jersey, her flight was just slightly delayed. Sunny and I are tremendously happy and relieved to hear the news. And so is Granny, who just celebrated her 84th birthday today, hale, healthy and happy as ever, with the few family members who are still here.
Cheers, all! |
Hey Vladimir. Sounds like a good idea. I'll look forward to reading your essays... : ) Once my thesis is done I'm going to be updating my new blog, http://open-slather.blogspot.com, where I'll post some links and info about a given topic and then have discussions in the comment threads. I've been doing it a bit on my LJ and it gets pretty fun! Good luck with the change of direction stuff, my man. A couple of weeks ago there was a New Moon at the same time as a solar eclipse. MASSIVE vibes of ending one chapter and beginning another. Good luck with this next chapter of your life! : )

Glad to see you're feeling somewhat better... or at least more balanced.
I'm very interested to see the essays once you write them!

To have a plan is always a good start. :)

I'm glad to hear you're doing better and Happy Birthday to your grandmother! I have a great aunt who will be 100 next year and I wish someone would get her life history in writing. I would do it but I don't live close to her :(
We once saw this documentary where everyone was over 100. I'm not going to try to use the correct word because it's too close to cyclon for me to get wrong. Anyway, this one guy made the most interesting comment. he said that in his lifetime, he has gone from taking 4 hours to get to the nearest city to 4 hours to get across the country. He goes, "I don't think you young people realize the advances that have been made in such a short time!" and that just put a lot of things in perspective to me with regards to history.
Otherwise, I look forward to your musings and I hope you have something about where architecture/landscaping is going. If anything what you have noticed I am selfish in the we are trying to come up with a design for our front and backyard and have yet to be inspired!
:)
Sorry about that last paragraph. This is what it's suppose to say:
I look forwas to our musing and hope you something where you have noticed whata is going on with architecture/landscaping. I am selfish in that we are trying to come up with a design for our front and backyard and have yet to be inspired!
It's not quite 2 am here but apparently close enough!
So like, where'd you go?
Happy New Year! :)
