Tempus fugit!
A few things have been happening to me lately, much as they did to Ilya Ilyich Oblomov eventually even though he tried to keep mostly sedentary.
(I watched Несколько дней из жизни И. И. Обломова semi-recently! Far more recently, as in yesterday, my kindly friend Ian took me to watch the opening night's show at the International House of Philadelphia - two films, Vitaly Mansky's Bliss and Alina Rudnitskaya's Civil Status. The Cyrillic rushed by my face too quickly for me to catch it exactly. I could check their works to be sure through my l33t Russian Wikipedia skillz... *boots self out of laziness and checks Mansky's Wiki first*) Ah, yes, it was Благодать, then Гражданское Цоцторние, which can be seen here. I told him they are supposed to be funny. He told me they were depressing and that the best thing about the evening was that I was there.
This may be ego-boosting, but I also seemed to have had no competition.
The other stuff going on is I've been trying to increase my endurance on my primary musical instrument, the oboe! Through focus on playing the music I put to this entry.
Hmm, using these l33t Russian Wiki skillz I detailed earlier, I could maybe find the two films that are supposed to be playing today at the IHP! Then watch Jeopardy as well as them, from the comfort of my home! That might be nice. It wouldn't be in Philly, though...
