***Your examlpe shows one thing that concerns me more and more.
It's not only language... looks like everything becomes
simplified and unified. I obtain standartized characters,
stories, tricks and, yes, language. "Fuck you" as a (lowest:)
common denominator for some basic emotion...As they used to say at Phys-Tech - "you can't fight entropy". Eventually it takes over.
***For me, this makes lots of movies predictable and boring.
And even when I'm successfully entertained, I still feel
that my pleasure carries a good doze of... well, something
like masturbation.Careful here. We are still just one step from teaching masturbation in schools. The fact they threw one idiot out doesn't help much - they are like most pests - there are plenty more to come.
***Actually, I don't care much, since there are TONS of old *quality*
movies out there to enjoy. :)You are right, that's how I feel too. Every once in a while there is a good new one too. And it is usually easy to tell what is worth watching so I don't usually spend any hard-earned tugriks on trash. I have friends early-scouts doing fine work.
***As for dacha, it was cool indeed. "Dachka v Kratovo, Volga-matushka...".
It's near Istra indeed. :) I was done with potatoes in September,
so this time there was just *snow* digging.Oh, sorry, I forgot... It is still t-shirt and sandals here. Well, maybe not every day... How far from Moscow is that?
***Fresh air, cold vodka,
some sex... life is good.Sounds like it...
***Sorry, I'm peaceful. :) There's nothing but vegetables in my basement.
SVT is Tokarev, right?Yes.
***I've heard that Tula is a good place to do
gun-searching.Any tubes made there? I guess I need an excuse to go there.
We are having the Thanksgiving here. I take this moment to thank God (whomever that might be) for everything good here and in your land, and everywhere else. Join us tomorrow in gulping some icey-cold vodka.
