December the second, two thousand and six… It’s Saturday morning and it’s snowing… The first snow of the season…
I was thinking this morning that it’s good to take other people’s opinions into account but not when it’s going too far and not when others think they have a right to tell us how to live… If this situation go on much longer it will become intolerable so it has to be sorted. NOW.
Off to yoga…

WOW, this one was “memory refreshing” indeed!

Dear God,
So far today, I’ve done OK. I haven’t gossiped, or lost my temper. I haven’t been greedy, crabby, mean, nasty, selfish, bitchy, or overindulgent. And I’m very grateful for that.
But dear God, in a few minutes I’m gonna get out of bed, and then I’m probably gonna need a lot more help!
Amen…

For those of you who give a damn, I’m ALIVE…
The past few days were absof***inglutely busy… Running around like a headless chicken or working like a dog – take your pick… Starting the day at 5:30 am or even earlier… (All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and Shadan a v.e.r.y. dull girl.)
The highlight of this incommunicado period was last weekend when I took a short two-day trip and paid a visit to the one and only Montréal… One of kind trip… Very relaxing… Great companions, food, wine, café, music, ciggies (sorry), etc… Special thanks go to our Montréaler friends 🙂
I’ll be back with more interesting stuff soon, promise…
May I just say that I badly want chocolate? NOW?!!

If you are as fanatical of a fan as I am, then I have good news for you…
She finally did it… Did what she had to do… Showing her memoirs on the big screen…
Marjane Satrapi‘s “Persepolis” is being made into a movie as we speak, to be released in 2007… The film will depict her (and her family’s) stories through witty animations, much in the same manner as her books do.”Persepolis” is directed jointly by Marjane* and Vincent Paronnaud. And who else would write the screenplay but the author herself – afterall, it’s HER life!
Can’t wait… Can’t wait at all… Stay tuned!

* Yep, we’re on a first name basis. Marjane has signed a copy of her first “Persepolis” book for me, you see, courtesy of…! 😉
