Yesterday, my family and I were getting ready to go to my cousin's wedding. My mother walks into my room -

"At this wedding, can you please not smoke, not drink too much, and dance appropriately?"
"I'll try..."

So last night, Ilya and I decided to grab a drink after work. We met up in Union Square and wandered about the area until we found a hole-in-the-wall bar to sit down at. There were no seats at the bar in the central room, but there was a small room with a billiard table that was empty. So we sat down in the corner and proceeded to drink double vodkas, chatting and laughing about this and that. Some time passes, we're on our third round of double vodkas, feeling good and rather irreverent. Some guy walks in and starts shooting pool right next to us (not very well. Sorry Anton). :)  I'm not sure what nonsense we were talking about at this point, but given that it's a small room and we were clearly audible to the man right next to us, we decide to switch to Russian, giggling about how we must look, sitting just the two of us in a corner of an empty room downing vodka. Shortly thereafter we forgot all about the guy and continued to ramble on as before, disregarding his presence.

This morning I wake up at 6am... can't sleep... somewhat hung over.  I drink a bottle of water, take a couple of advil, get back into bed and decide to check my email, as I had not done so the previous night. I go onto LJ, onto my Friends Page, and read the following post from [info]kutuz_off (whom I don't know personally and don't remember why I initially added him to my Friends list. Notably, I am not on his Friends list)

How weird is this??

I am slightly ashamed of being thus caught in the midst of drunken absurdity on a random Monday evening. But only ever so slightly. :)

Какая татуировка бы вам подошла?


Сила


Вы - сильная личность. Вы обычно четко осознаете, чего хотите, и идете к намеченной цели уверенным шагом. Вы не боитесь перемен и открыты для всего нового. Неприятности не могут вас сломить - они лишь делают вас опытнее. Ваши друзья знают, что на вас всегда можно положиться.


Вы никогда не будете делать татуировку из соображений моды или минутной прихоти. Для вас - татуировка - не просто украшение, она символизирует что-то, что важно для вас. Если у вас уже есть рисунки на теле, то скорее всего, это талисманы, этническая символика или хищная фауна.

How wonderful it is to really enjoy your job. This is definitely a first for me. I've had jobs that were fun, or easy, or fine in general. I've only had one or two jobs that I really hated. But my current job is simply wonderful.

I am now the Manager of Human Resources and Recruitment.

What this really means is that I do everything from SEO, to advertising, to recruitment, to web design, to customer service, etc. i am constantly bombarded with new projects, some of which are on-going, others are temporary. On of my favorite permanent projects is property advertisement - what this consists of is going out to apartments that have just been put on the market, photographing them, and creating webpage advertisements for these properties under my company. This is exciting for several reasons- a)I get to go out in Manhattan and see cool apartments b)Sometimes getting into buildings with the apartments is like a covert operation, involving various shenanigans :) c)I get to do some photography, which I've always really enjoyed though never took seriously c)I get to be creative in designing the ads, trying to compete with professional advertisement firms, though i have no background in this field.

Yesterday I got (another) raise, and was offered a full-time position there upon graduation from college, with benefits and medical. I find this all to be very exciting. :) It's also great because it's a growing firm, whose revenue has been exponentially increasing over the last couple of years, so there's a potential opportunity to really grow with the company. What I will actually do upon graduation is still of course undecided, but it's nice to have an offer.

Эдгар По

На опушке старого, мрачного, обвитого в таинственно-жесткую вуаль леса, над
которым носились темные облака зловещих испарений и будто слышался
фатальный звук оков, в мистическом ужасе жила Красная Шапочка.


Эрнст Хемингуэй

Мать вошла, она поставила на стол кошелку. В кошелке было молоко, белый
хлеб и яйца.
- Вот, - сказала мать.
- Что? - спросила ее Красная Шапочка.
- Вот это, - сказала мать, - отнесешь своей бабушке.
- Ладно, - сказала Красная Шапочка.
- И смотри в оба, - сказала мать, - Волк.
- Да.
Мать смотрела, как ее дочь, которую все называли Красной Шапочкой, потому
что она всегда ходила в красной шапочке, вышла и, глядя на свою уходящую
дочь, мать подумала, что очень опасно пускать ее одну в лес; и, кроме того,
она подумала, что волк снова стал там появляться; и, подумав это, она
почувствовала, что начинает тревожиться.


Ги де Мопассап

Волк ее встретил. Он осмотрел ее тем особенным взглядом, который опытный
парижский развратник бросает на провинциальную кокетку, которая все еще
старается выдать себя за невинную. Но он верит в ее невинность не более ее
самой и будто видит уже, как она раздевается, как ее юбки падают одна за
другой и она остается только в рубахе, под которой очерчиваются сладостные
формы ее тела.


Виктор Гюго

Красная Шапочка задрожала. Она была одна. Она была одна, как иголка в
пустыне, как песчинка среди звезд, как гладиатор среди ядовитых змей, как
сомнабула в печке...


Джек Лондон

Но она была достойной дочерью своей расы; в ее жилах текла сильная кровь
белых покорителей Севера. Поэтому, и не моргнув глазом, она бросилась на
волка, нанесла ему сокрушительный удар и сразу же подкрепила его одним
классическим апперкотом. Волк в страхе побежал. Она смотрела ему вслед,
улыбаясь своей очаровательной женской улыбкой.


Ярослав Гашек

- Эх, и что же я наделал? - бормотал Волк. - Одним словом обделался.


Оноре де Бальзак

Волк достиг домика бабушки и постучал в дверь. Эта дверь была сделана в
середине 17 века неизвестным мастером. Он вырезал ее из модного в то время
канадского дуба, придал ей классическую форму и повесил ее на железные
петли, которые в свое время, может быть, и были хороши, но ужасно сейчас
скрипели. На двери не было никаких орнаментов и узоров, только в правом
нижнем углу виднелась одна царапина, о которой говорили, что ее сделал
собственной шпорой Селестен де Шавард - фаворит Марии Антуанетты и
двоюродный брат по материнской линии бабушкиного дедушки Красной Шапочки. В
остальном же дверь была обыкновенной, и поэтому не следует останавливаться
на ней более подробно.


Оскар Уайльд

Волк. Извините, вы не знаете моего имени, но...
Бабушка. О, не имеет значения. В современном обществе добрым именем
пользуется тот, кто его не имеет. Чем могу служить?
Волк. Видите ли... Очень сожалею, но я пришел, чтобы вас съесть.
Бабушка. Как это мило. Вы очень остроумный джентльмен.
Волк. Но я говорю серьезно.
Бабушка. И это придает особый блеск вашему остроумию.
Волк. Я рад, что вы не относитесь серьезно к факту, который я только что
вам сообщил.
Бабушка. Нынче относиться серьезно к серьезным вещам - это проявление
дурного вкуса.
Волк. А к чему мы должны относиться серьезно?
Бабушка. Разумеется к глупостям. Но вы невыносимы.
Волк. Когда же Волк бывает несносным?
Бабушка. Когда надоедает вопросами.
Волк. А женщина?
Бабушка. Когда никто не может поставить ее на место.
Волк. Вы очень строги к себе.
Бабушка. Рассчитываю на вашу скромность.
Волк. Можете верить. Я не скажу никому ни слова (съедает ее).
Бабушка. (из брюха Волка). Жалко, что вы поспешили. Я только что собиралась
рассказать вам одну поучительную историю.


Эрих Мария Ремарк

Иди ко мне, - сказал Волк.
Красная Шапочка налила две рюмки коньяку и села к нему на кровать. Они
вдыхали знакомый аромат коньяка. В этом коньяке была тоска и усталость -
тоска и усталость гаснущих сумерек. Коньяк был самой жизнью.
- Конечно, - сказала она. - Нам не на что надеяться. У меня нет будущего.
Волк молчал. Он был с ней согласен."

That's right, I'm a sap. I admit it. 

In spite of the fact that everything is cliche and expected, it's still nice. All of the things that happen on Valentine's Day are far more precious and genuine when they happen on a random day, but I don't think there's anything wrong with having a day when you make a point of telling your loved ones exactly how wonderful they are.

Gogol Bordello concert at Irving Plaza - I crowd surfed for the first time in my life last night! Euge basically threw me into the air, and the crowd carried me right up to Eugene Hutz. He held out the microphone to me, but I was so consumed with the fact that I was being carried by the masses below, that I wasn't at all paying attention to the song itself, and so had no idea what the words were, but I screamed something anyway (what, I don't remember) at which point the security guards took me and placed me on the ground. It was amazing!!!

Being on top of the crowd is surprisingly less scary than being amongst it - I felt like I would be crushed at any given moment. It was impossible to stand in one place and I constantly had my hands out in front of me protecting myself. Moshing is definitely not for me. But the crowd surfing was worth the ridiculousness.

I was in Queens. It was about 10am. I was sitting by the window in the kitchen, staring blankly into the cold. From somewhere, I hear a voice - loudly, but politely, screaming "excuse me! miss! excuse me!" I didn't know where it was coming from and didn't think it was directed at me, but after this went on for a few minutes, I spotted a young guy leaning out of the window from the building across the way, from the same floor I was on. He was about 25, a beautiful light-skinned black guy with a 'fro. He smiles and asks, "Have you seen my cat?" I'm a bit puzzled by his question but respond that no, I had not. I realize at this point that the fire-escapes from our buildings are connected so if he did, in fact, have a cat, which I was not at all sure of, the cat could have walked along the fire escape to our building. I notice that his window is all painted in colorful squares, interlocking to form what resembles a modernist mural. I scream, "I like your window!" to which he laughs and starts telling me how he's been trying to convince his roommate to get rid of the paint, blah blah... So we're chatting from window to window, and then a raspy voice from below yells, "Your cat got out again!" I look down to see an old woman in a nightgown with rollers in her hair and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, popping out of the window two floors below us. The guy yells "Thank you! What apartment?" From below we hear "EHH??" in a high-pitched smoky voice. "What apartment?" "2C! You better get her now or I'm throwin her out the window!" "I'm coming!" He smiles at me. His window slams shut and I see him running down the stairs.

OK, so nothing exciting happened. Some guy's cat wandered off. A lady living in the apartment below found her. End of story. But having never lived in apartments in NYC, I never had the tenement experience of chatting from window to window, or seeing old ladies in hair curlers leaning out of windows. I felt like I was in Rent or West-Side Story... and wanted to break out into song. ...Instead I closed my window and made tea.

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington
Chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the
Professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why
we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools
when it expands and heats when it is Compressed) or some variant. One student,
however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to
know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and The rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are
entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world
today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,
then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"
