In Reply to: Rod, did you know? Plus The Raggedy Rawney. posted by Victor Khomenko on November 25, 1999 at 06:08:42:

Hi, Victor

>>>
***No, I don't live in Kremlin... yet. Just tryin' to be precise.
Thing is, 20 of these 60 km are *inside* Moscow, so how far
is it from Moscow really?

Too complicated. Need a calculator to figure that out. Would that
be 20 plus 60? I knew I could do it!
<<<

Look folks, that's what happens when someone forgets how to use slide rule!

>>>
***And yes, ~1.5 hours is more traffic than car problem. And roads...
You know, Russian troubles are fools and roads... some things never
change.

Some things change for worse too. You didn't have that traffic twenty
years ago. You didn't have those ugly parking lots either. You didn't
have Yeltsin, but I am not sure if this is better or worse.
<<<

Honestly I dunno. Maybe roads became better for fools now.

>>>
I know you intentionally left out the size of your drink, just to preserve
the tranquility of this board members. Now, honest, is one drink 500mL or
closer to 750?
<<<

Sorry to disappoint you. I'm a slow drinker. Preferable size is 25-75mL.
Yes, twenty-five! Comfortable total is between 300 and 700, depending on
the party. Actually, some 8 or 10 years ago I noticed that I can recognize
and appreciate even the one and only gnat-sized 25mL doze. That was a BIG
surprise. So under-doze isn't a big deal for me. As opposed to OVERdoze.

>>>
I still remember the standard calculation for most *good* parties back
in Russia - one bottle of vodka per person (that included women and children)
plus wine and beer.
<<<

My friends @ 18 school "invented" Li-G-Ryl metric. That's abbreviated
Litr-GRadus-Rylo. Multiply litres by degrees, divide the product by
number of... well... persons to get the party in Li-G-Ryl's. Thorough
empirical research revealed optimal Li-G-Ryl as ~20. So your standard
is in the ballpark.

>>>
***now I wonder whether the choice of *Beethoven* Drive was intentional? :)

True address. When we were house hunting, my wife saw the street name
and didn't want to look any further. It helped that the house was real
nice too. The company started in my 2500 sq. foot basement, all equipped,
and stayed there for couple of years, until some day my wife kicked
everyone out. She allowed us to keep the address though. It DOES sound
right, doesn't it?
>>>

Have to admit, she's plain SMART. And you... well... plain LUCKY.
Hey... *my* wife buys me movies too!

<<<
BTW, speaking of movies, started watching yesterday a strange one:
The Raggedy Rawney. Still
don't know what to think about it. Have you seen it?
>>>

No. And the title looks completely unfamiliar. So I'm intrigued. Can you
provide some additional info on it, like year, genre, actors etc? I'll try
to find it here.

>>>
Could you give me a list of good recent Russian movies - I can get them
all here, just need to know what to ask for and the guy who runs the shop
is not much into the fine art of movie making. All genre's will be fine,
including some nice action. If you could go back few years - that would
be swell. I have seen many, but I am sure not most.
>>>

I have a strong feeling that *good* ones are in the past. Current are rather
in more/less *decent* territory. And with my rotten memory I need some more
time to make such a list.

Here are few relatively safe choices. Since you've seen many, these are
most probably familiar, but it's all I can remember now.

- Specifics Of Russian National Hunting = Osobennosti russkoj natsional'noj
okhoty. Not a stupid and funny comedy.

- Love In A Russian Style (I) = Ljubit' po-russki. Sentimental. Actor playing
avove current average. Slight smell of socialist realism, sorry. If you'll
like it, proceed with II.

- Agent Of National Security = translate literally. ;-) Action, but TAKE CARE!
I haven't seen it yet, rec is based on s/h info. I'm going to try it in the
near for 16 tugriks as usual, will keep you informed.

I'll make some further research, but don't hold your breath. I'm really slow
and lazy. Do you remember your request about classics for brass orchestra
@ Music Lane... looooong time ago? I got interested, it turned out that wife
is fan of this music as well, we made (and still make) some search, we've
bought a few LP's and... And I still have no comments. :((( She didn't filed
it yet, and I can't remember all the necessary details myself...

I HATE my memory! Umm... wellll... long ago she heard live... well, it was
something like 'CCCP State Brass Orchestra', conductor was... err... Petroff?
I'm sure, neither Ivanoff, nor Sidoroff. And if memory serves her, they played
Pictures On(Of?:) An Excibition.
Damn. I must drink LESS.

regards, gnat
