...when he can watch all Russian MTV he might want?The smell of the LOTR is strong here too... unfortunately...
Is there a place on Earth one could hide from it?
I've heard it is doing marvelously in Shruzumbe.
Back to more MTV...
Follow Ups:
I hear local vodka is even worse than it used to be and most Georgian wine is fake.
And please don't take cabs!
Victor's fuel was beer[more than once I caught him with Miller Lite!...the man stooped low] and we hit several acid discos before I flew back home.
I have some incriminating photos, but won't post them unless Victor says it's a go.
Wait till I'm back, so I could defend my honor... whatever is left of it after that $4 a bottle Miller Lite.Next time we take Patrick with us - that shapely blond that crawled all over my laps REALLY wanted to meet a nice mature Frenchman.
BTW - caught on the local TV a wonderful program on Napoleon and Josephine - a program by none else but Oleg Sokolov - if you remember the Napoleon Army book by him that I bought in Piter. A very interesting and well made program - the man REALLY digs that period! I eenoyed every minute.
The Japanese ballet was fantastic, I must have spent $10 on the phone describing it to my wife.
Unable to catch anything here though... I usually don't get free before 9 or so, too late for any kind of shows.
Doris!! Doris!!!! Victor said I was mature!!!
Moscow Here we comes.
We had a very interesting TV film on ARTE ( culture canal for the EU )
It was a two part film with Deneuve as Princesse Marie Bonaparte (18882-1962 ) and her relation to Freud, very good as for the a real story ( she save him from the Nazis ) less so, as a film, even you could find very good scenes in it.
A must for the lover of psychanalyse.
I didn't know it is legal in Moscow! So, how's the most expensive city in Europe (as they stupidly proudly call that megapolis)?
It certainly isn't cheap, but not nearly anywhere as expensive as say, new York.
I had a mixed reaction. Big positive -- unbelievable number of well-dressed beautiful young women. Negative - most restaurants I went to were bad to mediocre. Excellent movie place - "35mm" - European and cult movies, last showtime - 1am.
Funny, movie tickets run around $6-7, while a decent seat for a Japanese Ballet in the Vakhtangov theater cost $3.50.
Funny? I donīt thnk so, the Ballet is a leftover of the " good old time " when culture as all the rest was cheap.
Movie has now more the chic of the new economy.
Subvention against hardware capitalism.
Hey Victor,While you're in Russia, buy me a Yulia Nova life-sized calendar.
On second thought, she might not fit in your luggage.
No idea who that is... need to ask around. Is she dancing at the local club?Supposedly there are some nice movies in town, but amazinly, all I am seeing around is the usual schlock... at least close to where I am staying.
Here she is. Dunno if she dances. AFAIK she's a college student and part-time model.
Dunno if only the exact match will do... there are so many look alikes here.

What we are going through here since LOTR win some kind of Disney Mikey Mouse award.
Please come back...Quick!!!
Hold the line a little longer, mio caro Patrick, we'll show them!In the meantime, ask Dmitry who Major Pronin is - he eats Captain America for lunch.
When you need him? AuPh is raging......
...he consumed during the Oscars - he is so oblivious of the world outside the LOTR you can take him with your bare hands.Imagine... spending the time he did watching that wretched "movie"? I suspect he took the clue from the Orange - and you know what - it WORKED!
BTW, I prefer the "Blue" (Grande Reserve) rather than Brown or White label; I'm unfamiliar with the "Orange". ;^)
Knock the Academy if you like, but it's STILL the most prestigious of film awards worldwide. [Sheeesh! I'm beginning to understand why your own countrymen exiled you in Germany.] ;^)
You can have your academy all you want - better you than me, pal!As far as being the most prestigious... well, man, you need to learn there's life outside that small Texas town - the whole world, in fact. I would venture to say the several European festivals are far more influential in the arts department than the dreaded academy.
But if all you are looking for is money, then go ahead - you've found your pigeon hole!

I admire your self-indulgent stubborn streak, but it looks like you're sailing into waters off the coast of Egypt again (i.e., de Nile). ;^)
> > > "...you've found your pigeon hole." < < <
Perhaps, but like most European marble facade you stand rigid and inflexible in defiance of the reality flying over your head; there is a price for that as I'm sure you're well aware! ;^D
He is from Texas.
...he's apparently into the pigeon hole thing! ;^)
> > > "The smell of LOTR is strong here too... unfortunately... Is there any place on Earth one could hide from it?" < < <Try vacationing in Siberia, you'ld probably like it better there anyway. ;^)
And I have been using plenty of air freshener.
Go watch a Jerry Lewis feature with your clone Patrick.
I am taking Patrick on my next trip... we are gonna hit every... well, museum, in town.
Museums, huh? Take some photos for us.
