I am still trying to stay away from computers (well, as much as I can because my job IS all about them): my back (sacroiliac joint) is still not well and sitting is not very comfortable. This all said about sitting, I was tempted by free tickets (my friend’s son works in a cinema so he got some free tickets for himself, his mother and me) and went ( Read more... )

I am still listening to Harry Potter, although I have almost stopped in the book 5 “Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix” to wait for my daughter to finish her reading. “The Order of Phoenix” is my least favourite book and the least favourite film: too long, nothing happens, etc ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays of your choice to everyone! Personally, I am as confused as ever: Russian Christmas is celebrated on the January the 7th and the New Year day is the biggest holiday of the season in Russia.

So I am at home with my cuppa and I want to go and do some shopping for shoes later. Life is pretty awesome ( Read more... )

Having finished both of Neil Marshall’s films (The Descent and Centurion) close together, I noticed one shortcoming of his style, namely the lack of character development and character depth. What Neil is good at is visual world-building. Both films look good enough to be windows in the real world. But the characters? They don’t seem to be his main ( Read more... )

Finally! I found a way to read more! Audiobooks! I used to read an awful lot when I was younger and my vision was better (my vision used to be perfect once). Now my vision is not perfect anymore and I find that reading anything after a day spent on computer (I work as a software programmer) makes my eyes terribly tired. I can only read in big ( Read more... )
