Forced to be a minimalist

I don’t like clutter in general (I only have mental clutter, but that’s kind of the kink of this blog) but I do have a lot of stuff. However, since my husband and I are moving half way across the globe, I am forced to be a minimalist. Some background

The courage to be yourself

Ingredients for a perfect wedding

I’m getting married one of these days and it got me thinking about the perfect wedding. I’m probably not going to have my dream wedding because we are in a rush to get married before half the family moves away.

The first circle of hell

I never read Dante’s Inferno and I probably never will (is there a movie of it I can watch?). I reckon the first circle of hell is people just waiting around for stupid shit.

My short-lived academic life
Michelle's Anecdotes

My short-lived academic life (part 1)

There was a time when I had the ambition to be an academic. I love reading and learning stuff, and the thought of travelling all over the world to present at conferences seemed so romantic to me. But that didn’t happen – for many reasons that I won’t get into now. Let me tell you about my short-lived academic life before it all came crumbling down.
