Hi, Victor>>>
I recently spent some time in Japan and I guess that does
qualify as some mixed time, but it is already well behind
us and I have been digging since then. Harder than ever in
fact. I suspect you now get your share of digging too.
<<<Japan? I suspect it had something to do with a company which
name starts and ends with 'O', right? :)You're 200% correct about digging. Damn potatoes need ALOT of it!
>>>
***Made it like a real spy, if only spies do it
in a company with their wife and daughter. Paid 20 bucks
to some unknown soldier..."Unknown Soldier?" You mean the one whose tomb is at
the Red Square? So now he gets up occasionally and
collects bucks at border crossings. I think this is
as good a symbol of new times as there has ever been.
How ironic... Maybe he also sells the flowers that
Pioneers used to bring him.BTW, don't mean any disrespect to the soldiers, just all
that symbol stuff...
<<<I knew that you'll catch my drift. Guy looked like he
can sell not only flowers, but his whole motherland.
>>>
***to avoid meeting Gussinsky. :(Who is that? I have been detached, as you can see.
<<<He's an owner of local mass-media empire. He was arrested
recently and it was a REALLY big scandal around it. I'm
detached as well, so dunno the details.
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...
>>>
Ah, yes, and those GARDENING BOOKS!!!! The constant, non-stop
horror of having them all over the place, all with dozens of
bookmarks in them!!!
The constant anticipation of boxes and boxes of plants
arriving, and me digging, and digging, and fertilizing and
weeding... So on Saturdays I excape to my office, there
is no one to bother me and she knows I am "working" so I
am not be be disturbed... She is such sweet lady...
<<<I'm more lucky than you. My SO does most of the gardening
work herself. Could be something about my digging skills...
I always have problems doing things more complex than
a pit digging. Lots of brute force though...
>>>
Any plans for visiting the New World? You can stay in that
library/guest room, watch the deer from the window and
melt surrounded with all those bookinist treasures. We
will take you out to do some digging... on Saturday, while
I am in my office "working"...
<<<Thank you for nice invitation. Sounds tempting, especially
considering that digging with guests usually 'degenerates'
into shashlyk and some good drinking IME. :) So I guess
that you won't need "working" on that Saturday. Well, I'll
remind you about this invitation when (if) I visit your
neck of woods. But don't hold your breath, since I'm basically
one laaazy homesitter.

Ohh, I just noticed we're in Films, not Outside. OK, as an
anti-offtopic, some films info for you. I've read recently
that Solaris is now available on DVD. The picture is restored
from negatives under the control of that guy Yusov who made
the original one. Sound remastered into 5.1.Anothe one is Thomas Crown Affair I watched recently. Beautiful
picture. Story... mmm... kind of extremely lightweigted 'Crime
And Punishent'. I mean EXTREMELY... and wit a happy end of course!
Nice music by Legrand, with the only caveat - I think it should
have a spanish flavour during the chess scene. Spanish because
they seemed to play a spanish game. Love the scene anyway...
