| Today's revelation: papa's disappearance and death, it's behind us now, it's not going to repeat every year, starting July 16, ending Aug. 1 |
|
| Trying to translate a tiny passage from Savva Terentyev's verdict, a masterpiece of a linguistically-challenged mind. Ridiculous. |
|
| 2 days of nonstop headache, can't keep myself from complaining anymore. Plus a sore throat. And a major fit of hypochondria as a result. |
|
| Coffee and a book at TGI Friday's at Besarabka. Shayan the Iranian bartender makes the place feel foreign in such a wonderful kind of way. |
|
| I'm not hallucinating this time: someone's singing a Ukrainian song outside, for real. But I'm in Kyiv, not Moscow :) |
|
| We're in Kyiv. |
|
| The dawn is lovely. Even though I wish I were asleep now. |
|
| Swallows are beginning to wake up, and I'm still not done with the GV translation on the Minsk blast. |
|
| "Translating" from English with a strong foreign accent into English with a lighter foreign accent. My head is about to explode. |

|
| Life's little pleasures: in between two huge thunderstorms, I went out to buy TP and saw a totally gorgeous rainbow! |
|
| Gogol Bordello's "Through the Roof 'n' Underground" - http://tinyurl.com/2ho99u - I missed their concert again, btw, two weeks ago... |
