Camilo Castelo Branco Sep 25, 2020

Barbara Cochran, MFA wrote:

After I submit a finished book translation to a client, I enjoy reading books on the theories and practice of psychoanalysis, as well as psychoanalytic case histories.

Right now, as a personal literary project, I am translating Camilo Castelo Branco's Amor da Perdição.

In other words, I don't really "unwind" all that much. I like to stay mentally energized, although I do take an occasional walk through a local park along the river, and through a botanical garden surrounded by acres of very tall trees. Can't wait to view the colorful fall foiliage!

But I often take my laptop with me to those places, since I really like to work surrounded by nature.


"Amor de Perdição". One of my favourite writers!

Sleep and outdoor physical activity Sep 25, 2020

I also work late nights, since I am a mother of two little children and we're all confined right now in Argentina. So, after a long stretch of work I always enjoy to sleep well to recover any lost sleep and then go outside with my children to make sure we all get that much-needed exercise.

(By the way, Romanian is a lovely language)
Reading a book: "O que dizem os teus olhos" (What your eyes say), Florencia Bonelli.

Walking in the mountains of Valongo: http://www.centrotrailvalongo.pt/ (I am trying to get used to rural landscapes). It's a nice and very friendly city ▲ Collapse

Video games Sep 25, 2020

Most of the time, that'll be video games. Also reading or knitting while listening to an e-book. But video games really are perfect for relaxing while still keeping my gears turning.

Physical activity Sep 25, 2020

There is nothing like a long walk around the neighborhood, stretches and running up the stairs.

A nice bottle Sep 26, 2020

of Pinot Noir, my favourite. Paired with a good film or a stupid game, like Candy Crush Saga (the creepy male voice which says, 'Divine!' never fails to amuse me).
