Hi, Victor
>>>
***Your wife obsession with books reminds me my earlier years.
Now I'm rather in the latent state of it. The cure that
worked for me was re-readind of what I already have. For
example, the one I've read during vacation. Just plain Gogol,
just ubiquitous Dikan'ka and Mirgorod... gee, what a book!
One that makes me feel that my own bookshelves are worth
exploring more than those in the shop...Yeah, but you probably don't get Kamkin catalogs every week.
One would have to have iron will not to respond to them. I would
like to see you surrounded with all these temptations.
<<<OIC. Looks like you're doomed. Luckily I don't get catalogs.
And have to walk at least 20-30 minutes to visit the shop.
So my lazyness usually provides an extra-protection. But
anytime I visit a shop I leave it with a purchase. Gogol
doesn't help.
>>>
***I'm more lucky than you. My SO does most of the gardening
work herself. Could be something about my digging skills...That must be the way you swing your pick.
<<<Exactly. She always complains that places where I digged look
like after an earthquake.
>>>
***I always have problems doing things more complex than
a pit digging. Lots of brute force though...So you take refuge in FFT butterfly coding... Do you have
picture of Landau on your wall?
<<<No Landay. Once there was a Brezhnev' reproduction on the
wall near my workplace. Looked great and gave a lot of fun
to my friends but for some strange reasons boss asked me
to remove it...Your idea about FFT makes sence. But I see it slightly
different. Thing is, all this Fourier 'entomology' is quite
close to the top limit of my brain skills. So there isn't
much left for digging. :)
>>>
***Thank you for nice invitation. Sounds tempting, especially
considering that digging with guests usually 'degenerates'
into shashlyk and some good drinking IME. :)You've go THAT part right. Except lately we have done more
lyulya kebab. You just can't stop eating them...
<<<BWAHAHAHA! You've just made it even more tempting right now.
Lyulya moved significantly to the top of my preferences list
during last year. Coincidence? Hmmm...
>>>
Let me know if yo hear about DVD "Waterloo".
<<<OK, I'll keep looking. Oh and I forgot to mention that the
Crown Affair I was talking before is a '68 version, not the
recent one.
>>>
As far as not being Outside, it is quicly becoming Felix' whining
and crying place. My hope is he's gonna get tired of nagging.
<<<You lost me here. I simply can't imagine Felix getting tired of this.
Are you sure that we're talking about the same person? :)
