But also it is a title of Murakami's fiction story. About life of an ordinary, way too ordinary man. Such a twist. Murakami's characters are never ordinary, they are mysterious, they are weird (in a way ,let's say, majority's perception of 'weird'), they are strong, domestically, mentally, they overcome fantastic obstacles author invents. but the one from the 'South...' is an ordinary man, in his mid age crisis, with ordinary psychological problems, with wife, kids, life full of reflections on situations happened in the past, remininscents of things happened in the past. And the whole story is full of his memories about girls he dated and stuff like this. He doesn't seem to be Kazanova type of guy, but he is mentally weak, full of indecisiveness guy, that can't decide what is good and which one is not so bad for him.
Shortly, moral of the story is that what goes around ,at the end, no matter how good you are in hiding from inevitability, comes around, period.
I read it right after I finished 'Kafka...', and I was a bit sceptical, a bit disappointed, as if I was like 'well, now try to impress me even more than you did in Kafka on the shore', and he couldn't.
Started reading 1Q84. I feel like it is way too much of Japanese literature, but I can't stop:)
Was having a conference call with Capgemini (Austrian one) people yesterday, they are planning to start roll out project in Kazakhstan. I've provided very brief introductory session on standard package for localization from SAP for their internal SAP bosses and IT people. I hope it was helpful in terms of understanding what to expect when they are here, starting with their roll out.
P.s: recently I started taking cooking classes :) Those who know me know that I am not that type of girl, cooking, spending time at kitchen, buying ingredients to prepare that super mindblowing meal and etc. But ,I think, it is good in terms of expanding your imagination, I mean, when you combine something with something else, you imagine if that combination will work, how it is gonna work, what patterns you are getting by adding this and that. Shortly, so far I am interested :)))
Today I wanted to surprise my mum, and prepared fried potato with mushroom sauce :)) I prefer not to complicate things I am not really good at :)) It was me, mum and my auntie, I served dinner, candles I bought in Rivera Maison today, in these special astonishingly beautiful candle holders, or what is the name of it...)) Then my dad entered dining room, turned on the light and exclaimed 'You guys are like Van Gogh's painting, sitting in a darkness, eating potato' ahaha, that is such a hilarious comparison :)))) I am still laughing :))
Van Gogh 'Potato eaters', едоки картофеля :)))
the fact that you may find interesting:
ОтветитьУдалитьIT people find algorythm as a something like recipe from cookbook. Thus, developing perfect algorythm is equal to preparing delicious dish.
Haha :)) Indeed you have to think while cooking, otherwise... :)) But I really doubt that there's that obvious correlation between ability to cook and code :))) In my case, it just happened that, at some point of my life, I decided to learn something very new :)))
