''Neşemizi çalamazlar ya'' lafını bir çeşit motto olarak benimsemiş durumdayım. Her ne kadar Deniz bunu ironik olarak kullansa bile, her ne kadar Deniz aslında bu sözle dalga geçse bile, benim için çok şey ifade etmeye başladı. ''Ölü Deniz''de, kız arkadaşının bu sözü her seçim sonrası bir dua gibi tekrarlaması üzerinden dalga geçiyordu ve açıkçası ben de tamamen Deniz'den yana tarafım.

I seem to have adopted the phrase “They can’t steal our joy, can they?” as a kind of motto. Even though Deniz used it ironically, even though he was actually making fun of the phrase, it has come to mean quite a lot to me. In Ölü Deniz—Dead Deniz, a pun on “the Dead Sea”—he mocked the way his girlfriend repeated these words like a prayer after every election, and honestly, I am entirely on Deniz’s side.

Trying to study. The study loop — I once again found myself avoiding the responsibilities I was supposed to fulfill and being productive for all the wrong things. One of those things is, of course, these blog posts of mine that nobody gives a shit about. No, I am not labeling the blog itself as the wrong thing, but it...]]></description><link>https://www.altarcag.rocks/post/log-8</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4ebd330bcfc75fd1997dd4</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2026 22:43:21 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Taha Altar Çağ</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Log #7]]></title><description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, this blog entry will begin with some sad news. Prof. Mehmet Tekin Yürür, a retired professor of structural geology at Hacettepe University, sadly passed away two weeks ago. He retired after giving his last lecture, a structural geology course in the 2022 summer school that I also took. I have never met anyone who needed slides or other teaching materials so little. With just a marker, using his hands, relying solely on intuition and imagination, he was able to convey these...]]></description><link>https://www.altarcag.rocks/post/log-7</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d91c377d3e231e1c88fd80</guid><category><![CDATA[Captain's Log]]></category><category><![CDATA[blog]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 08:05:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/838586_9d8a81cf5ffc457dac7310f6522e6cb5~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Taha Altar Çağ</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Log #6]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hey you, after two failed blog entry, here I am with my 3rd attempt to write the entry N.6.

I always feel homesick and miss a lot of things back in Ankara. I miss my old room, the cozy corner with all the books and all the memories I had in there. I know it was only 4 years, and it was mostly sad and depressing, but still, I always felt so secure being in there. I was always enjoying my alone time; it was just the external stuff making me stressed all the time.
