Je suis fier de dire que j'ai fini mon cours de français. Bien sûr, mes jours de cette langue magnifique n'ont pas fini, j'ai encore beacoup pour apprendre jamais pour pouvoir lire Baudelaire tout seul.

I won't translate this. And all you people out there speaking French, correct me since this is probably the longest sentence I've ever written in ( Read more... )

 We were studying at my house yesterday, and one thing led to another (you can totally see this coming), we ended up searching for a synonym for the word 'eclectic'. As I looked in the couple of the dictionaries I have at home, I've discovered something peculiar - they indicated that eclectic, other than the meaning of something comprehensive or ( Read more... )

 Among the geeky population, Alpha Centauri has a cult status. The game is basically a sci fi Civilization, but the Datalinks (Civilopedia) of that game is an unbelievable source of quotations and smarty goodness. For example, the Academician Prokhor Zakharov speaks about the difference between methodical scientific progress and genius ( Read more... )

 2. Paul Atreides - a short biography

He was warrior and mystic, ogre and saint, the fox and the innocent, chivalrous, ruthless, less than a god, more than a man. There is no measuring Muad'Dib's motives by ordinary standards. In the moment of his triumph, he saw the death prepared for him, yet he accepted the treachery. Can you say he did this out ( Read more... )

 I wrote a seminar for one of my classes at uni about Paul Atreides. The goal of the seminar was to describe a person/a character through 3 psychological personality theories. I chose Paul Atreides, and the three theories I'm using are Jung's, Freud's and Maslow's. Of course, considering my choice, most of the analysis was done through the lens of ( Read more... )

Newer shoes, newer shoes, newer shoes... :D

My mom thinks I'm an idiot and that I'll look like a complete moron. Dad says he had a pair like that too when he was my age...he even had a couple different pairs to wear one shoe from each pair :D

Savjesnost je jedan od najboljih prediktora akademskog uspjeha. Naravno, nakon inteligencije. Što to znači? Najjednostavnije rečeno, savjesni ljudi su bolji u školi/faksu. Redovito pišu zadaće, redovite uče, pohađaju predavanje, izlaze na kolokvije, čitaju dodatnu literaturu, ne kasne, dižu se na vrijeme, vode bilješke tijekom predavanja, javljaju ( Read more... )

"The premiere involved one of the most famous classical music riots in history. The intensely rhythmic score and primitive scenario shocked audiences more accustomed to the demure conventions of classical ballet."

"The complex music and violent dance steps depicting fertility rites first drew catcalls and whistles from the crowd. At the start with ( Read more... )

The organization committee of Zagreb's Pride made a Croatian video for the song 'Fuck You' by Lilly Allen. This is apparently a fad among the LGBTIQ community around the world - so ours followed. And, of course (and to my pleasure), two girls from my college are in it.

You rock!

 Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his ( Read more... )
