“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe
Okay. So I have a feeling that my blog consists of these Sunday Posts…I promise you’ll get better content soon!
Books I read this week. I managed to finish three books: Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H.Pink, The Killing Lessons (Valerie Hart, #1) by Saul Black: I mean imagine a thriller with not just one but two serial killers…so this was pretty good book. And then the highlight of my week: The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe by J. Randy Taraborrelli. As for so many of us, Marilyn Monroe has always been a huge icon for me. My mother always adored Marilyn and that’s how, I think, I ended up seeing all of her films when I was a kid. I knew Marilyn Monroe had a tragic life, however I never realized the extent of it before reading Taraborrelli’s book. This book made me appreciate her career so much more. And also I ended up re-watching her film ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’.
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”

Otherwise, it was quite quiet week. I visited National Library of Finland and that was amazing, then I visited Cat Café in Helsinki called ‘Helkatti’ with an old classmate and then on Friday we had this farewell dinner party for some colleagues at a very nice restaurant.
How’s your week been? What have you been reading? What’s your favorite movie with Marilyn Monroe?
