Day 03 - Your favorite television program

"ProjectorParisHilton" :3
But it's Russian, so you won't understand it unless you know Russian T_T But I soo love this programme. It's very funny,and it's the only programme I watch on tv apart from Discovery and Animal Planet programmes.
Basically, they discuss all sorts of news there but in a funny way. I love how the humor's not perverted and not really cynical. Not as stupid as Comedy Club.

Day 04 - Your favorite book

Japanese literature aside, there are two books I absolutely love:

Richard Matheson's "What Dreams May Come"




Stephen King's "Hearts In Atlantis".



Both books have been made into movies and are highly recommendable to watch. However only the first out of 3 parts of "Hearts In Atlantis" have made it into the movie. It's really sad, because the movie part is kinda only the premise to the story.

Stephen King has a unique way of writing. It's rather straightforward, yet contains mystery. Things he writes, they're pretty close to our real life, and he managed to interwine them with the supernatural. And supernatural doesn't seem like something out of this world in his books, it seems rather fitting, that's why I love his books, because normally I'm not too fond of supernatural fiction.

As for Richard Matheson, the book is also very deep as it explores what happens to us after we die, what happens to our relationships, what happens to people close to us. The plot also dwells on the writer's perception of what is the true meaning of our life and existence.

Both books are easy to read, yet I couldn't help but underline some words important to me and some things to think about later.

Christmas Meme:

Day 22: Somewhere you would want to spend Christmas one year.

I'd say Japan? I'd love to go to the temple to pray, to get those luck thingies and all. I'd also want to have a hot pot and a kotatsu.
But being more realistic for now, I guess England or the US would do, preferably England. But tehcnically... anywhere where you can feel the spirit of this holiday. And that is definitely NOT in Russia >.> If you saw my city, you'd understand.

Day 23: How much money do you think you spent Christmas shopping?
I have no idea, but a lot as usual. I try not to spend much money, but always end up spending everything -.-' Can't be helped, I guess. Once a year, it's a great holiday, afterall.
