Interesting is not what people tell us, but what they don't tell.

Every single one of us is sentenced to death. And yet we act as we plan to live forever.

I never noticed the exact moment
when I turned from "If I have kids" into "when I have kids"

Every summer I have a new crush on someone, music wise. I've gone through Nouvelle Vague, Feist, Spektor like that. And here this summer was already into its first 2 weeks, and I was worried that I'm going to live though it with empty heart, and bored ears. And then Booooooom!
It's new for me, not necessarily for anyone else :)

Chilly Gonzalez  -Big Yay!
(I love his Lovertits with Feist, and Salieri Serenade, I'm sure you'll love it too. Then there's Solo Piano. Well, pretty much all albums are goo-od!

And something I just downloaded - it will rock your fed-up with music souls :))
Joanna Newsom - Peach, Plum, Pear. O-M-G!

Enjoy :))

Собираюсь пойти уже какое-то время, никак не соберусь.
До сих пор жалею, что заморских гостей туда не взяла :)

And all of a sudden I realized that I've been writing my last two notes in Russian.
I'd edit them, but the key words there are in fact in English: Comme des Garcon, and Big Onion ;-)

On the streets of Murray Hill:

Father to his 3 year old son: That's enough, understand? You don't bite anyone, especially new friends!

This is just hilarious.
Everyone knows famous "got milk?" advertising.
I saw a new version of it today.
Saw through the window of a bus: "got cholent?"
Obviously it's happenning in a Jewish neighborhood :)
I finally managed to get a pic. sorry for the quality - my phone cam is not good )

Yesterday I came to my career advisor asking her for help in improving my cover letter.
And she really worked hard.
After her revising you could find such words in the letter: After taking off a year and soul searching I realized ...
Pretty funny, and true.
However, when I told her that I was looking for smth else, she gave me a very good book. I need to return it next week. But it's just eye-openning, called: "Careers in Finance".

Did you see elephants yesterday?
Did you feel as bad as I did?
Little creatures, holding each other's tails with their proboscises.
The clown riding them reminded me of Jack Nicolson in that old Batman movie: with a scary smile and madness in his eyes.
Evil clown.
And these shabby guys, walking in a sad chain, seemed as they were prisoned by him, and by raved city.

Ppl's desire to be possessed is not normal. 
It's a slaves' psychology that poisons your life. There are a lot of ppl who want to be possessed, and very few who would want to own you. Such owners can make your life a living hell. But they'd rather be with someone who's free as well. 
Nobody loves or appriciate slaves.
Therefore, if you need true love you have to learn to be free
On the other side, when you learn to be free it becomes clear that love is just one of the effects of slavery.
You must learn to let ppl go (and most importantly learn to be self-sufficient and let yourself go) to be happy, and to be happy with smb, even though it wouldn't be an issue then.

Unfortunately understanding is only 0.01% of the possible success

If I could go to stars
Who said I couldn’t?
I live on planet Mars –
Two days from Sun
One tried to fight the nature
Way we shouldn’t,
He lost the game,
But after him we run. 

The waters run through me:
The come, they leave, they fill me.
I am the net,
I live in motion of the sea
And it’s my choice
What I would hold or wouldn’t,
And it’s my choice
When set it free 

If I could go to stars
I’d learn to be the river
I’d leave my net on Mars
And be the world itself
Imbibe the universe
All beauty, every minute
Dissolve in boundless nothing
Find myself.

    I walked out of the theater yesterday with a bit of disappointment after watching a play. I didn’t know if it actually was a bad play, or an average one, but my expectations were too high. However, I refuse to believe that people who claim to love theater could enjoy those fake conversations that I saw. 
    While putting my gloves on in the foyer, I shared my thoughts with a friend, reasoning my disappointment. Actors’ work wasn’t breathtaking, it wasn’t good at all. 
    Bill Nighy was good: he’s generally great, as he is. However, the line he chose was too plain: it didn’t change once, as if he didn’t react to whatever was happening around him, but was just carrying his great performance. It created a bit disharmony with what he was sometimes saying, and how he acted. There were two different Olivers, and it was hard to follow. 
    Juliana Moore wasn’t exactly convincing as well. Her Nadia had some thoughts that I found controversial, but I couldn’t match these ideas with Juliana Moore. As if I was thinking: I could talk about that and that with Nadia, if she existed; but I didn’t see Nadia in Moore. 
    Unfortunately, I didn’t like the play itself as well. It seemed to me that the heroes in a play just locked themselves up in a prison of circumstances and suffering. They enjoyed the feeling of being misunderstood by the society, or their families. This voluntarily imprisonment made them special in their own eyes. 
    It might be as well that I just didn’t understand the play, since whatever they talked about wasn't a part of my reality.

My head is about to explode. Thousands things I have to take care of happened suddenly. I think think, and think about them. I think too much. I need action, but in these particular situations can't act without deep thought and deliberate and accepted decision.
On the top of that the dark fog, eating me from the inside, tries to fill me with doubts. My bright side is fighting with this monster. This battle, however, doesn't really unload my brain, but makes me think even more, what brings me closer to explosion.
I never had that feeling before - the one ppl have before possible breakdown, i do now.
And believe me: the tension before tornado is much much worse, than tornado itself.

Current Music:
White Stripes - Little Acorns

Walking down the street I found a Russian bookstore. It's even called "Russian Bookstore #21"
It's a little hard to notice a little door among delis and stores on 5th Ave, and you need to go up the stairs to get inside.
It's full of books and smells the way my favorite library in Izhevsk smelled: dust and books, both old and new. Wooden floor squeaks responding to my steps as I walk. Almost a minute passes before a very pleasant woman comes out of some room, hidden behind bookshelves.
Amazing little bookstore. It's precious at least for being located in Manhattan, for having everything I had on my list that day, for a woman with crazy curly gray hair. I literally entered the house of hospitable mistress, almost felt like a cup of tea.
