Another week, another drink
it's been raining all day, feeling a bit low now, but a good martini based cocktail seems to have helped a bit... Never mind i am not big on Martini:) but it somehow feels very appropriate for the weather! Had it last night at Beverly Hills Diner, thought I liked it enough to make at home, and while I realize treating depression with alcohol is bad ( Read more... ) -
Liquorice Affair
It’s another Friday night and a perfect time to make and taste something new cocktail-wise, something I have neither made or tasted before, both sophisticated and simple to make. Browsing through the pages of one of my cocktail books I stopped at “LIQORICE AFFAIR” a drink from the bar of a very famous London’s hotel “Dorchester”. I was skeptical ( Read more... ) -
A new fancy mall in Moscow
I was over a friend’s house the other day, and on the way back I used Vistovochniy Centre metro station beside which a new shopping mall Afi had just been built. It is said to be the biggest shopping mall in Europe! So, I took the opportunity to explore and, well, I don’t know about that, but it took me hours to wander around it.

Late Fall thoughts
If one thing i should like about fall, it will be its mesmerizing beauty! It almost feels like the nature itself in the final struggle and jerk of despair to remain, bursts out in colors one last time only to surrender to the chilly gray and deadly winter, failing in its attempt to remain. Defeated. Winter prevails and soon will take over. I am ( Read more... ) -
early fall makes me depressed
God only knows how I hate waking up to the sound of rain drops beating against the window sill and this chill and humid air invading and filling my room's interior at the first sight of approaching autumn. It's a struggle to open my eyes and the only appropriate thing to do is to drink some freshly made coffee. Yet, my quilt is something beautiful ( Read more... ) -
Long awaited answer put into words after a few years of contemplaing
I've had this confusing feeling over the years until today I've managed to finally put it into words, having read it somewhere. Could you really hate someone for something they've done and still love them for something they'd once been? i guess, i know the answer now as well as i am certain of normality or and sanity of what this answer holds ( Read more... ) -
