The Burning Girl!

...this is who I want to be: the Burning Girl, not burdened by the fetish of all those things I have created, and had to leave behind. I am a nomad, I have no history to turn back to...

Tilsim was my cat, her name means 'magic'. I still miss her. She was all black with penetrating green eyes, a real Istanbul lady. I promised I will give her name to my coffee shop. So this is it.

I read: Sirens of Titan, Remembering Jack, A Man Without a Country, Player Piano
I am reading: Hemingway: Complete Short Stories, Slaughterhouse Five, The Second Sex
The last three movies I watched: Man From Earth, Fur, Ocean 13
What I have done this year that I haven't done before: Be a mom
A day absolutely ordinaire: Latte at a coffee shop and daily news from the Washington Post (hm this hasn't changed :))
Wbat is in: Buying designer outfits at a discount

Who: Leman
What I do from dusk till dawn: Be a mom
My pet ghost: Selmin
My source of inspiration:Lalita
I live: in a cozy town home with an Italian garden with my beautiful baby girl Lara and our pet Kotmish
I learned: "The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time." -George Bernard Shaw

Today I had an interpreting assignment. It is one of the assignments my professors would have been proud of, having the opportunity to interpret in a business meeting that involved the World Bank. I prepared for the assignment beforehand, studying vocabulary, and historical facts. One more time, I felt I am in the right place, in the right time, and that good things might happen.
