Once There Was a Way to Get Back Homeward

Met classmates lately. Drank a pack of juice, because I don't drink alcohol.

Last time I drank it was on boss's birthday, it was a hot May day and I drank wine (which is not emulator, apparently). Realized that in Summer there's no place for alcohol drinks stronger than beers because it is all the same hot and those drinks don't fresh at all. And I don't drink beer as well since I didn't enjoy it last time. So I'm on a non-alcoholic diet :) Not to mention the fact that I drive almost every day.

It is because of the heat that lasts a week and my parking place is in the open place, so I take my car every day and park it in the shadows.

Even bought a sunscreen to put on the windscreen from inside of the car, but it appeared to be small so the piece of windscreen is not "covered". Gonna try to buy a bigger sunscreen.

So, I park my car under the trees now but I'm anxious of falling branches and chestnuts. Parked twice, but fortunately not a single branch or chestnut have fall yet.

On the opposing side of the road where I used to park my car lately someone is going to build an office building, so now there's no place to park, because some of drivers who parked their cars not in the parking lot (or whatever it's called) now park them there, so it's packt like sardines in a crushd tin box (c).

...Maybe I should write to my NY-resided classmate tonight, haven't got a line from him for a plenty of time.

Work Menace

(The title is just two words that appeared in my head.)

Have to work. Got lots to do. But can't. Couldn't. I don't know why. Maybe 'coz this is Summer. a) Summer is not for work.

Brother has an idol - Steve Pavlina, a man, who can manage his time pretty well so he is able to do lots of things. He, brother, told me not once to read that site. I visited it once, read a bit and left. I don't think that urging one's self to do work is effective. Well, at least it's not for me. I should admit, that for me the best motivation is b) deadline and c) vacation. It's no matter how many work you should do, just deadline or vacation can bring my mind to a working state. I mean, to a really working state, because I can't say that I'm doing nothing between deadlines. Just work efficiency is much more higher.

Редкая Алиса

Надыбал видео "Горизонт". Слова на треть отличаются от альбомных, да и музыка тоже. Еще и в живом исполнении звучит очень необычно - на альбоме больше электроники. Наверняка 90-е годы. Занятное видео. Спасибо автору, его снявшему.

Дожились...

Лето. Середина июня. Утро. Градусник. +16. Холод собачий...

Dif'rent Moods

Noticed that some music fits to me in wintertime, some in summertime. F'sample, Radiohead: they are more winter-ish than the other music. While such Oasis or Brainstorm are for sunny days.

Made that conclusion while reviewed my blog finding that I've listened Radiohead while it was very cold and remembering the winter before last.

Here are Brainstorm - Thunder Without Rain

Thunderstorm Grows Fast

Hey. It's something I want to write, but alas I dunno what :)

Well... if you dunno what to talk about better talk about weather. So, last weekend, which due to the national holiday lasted three days - including following Monday - there were heavy rains, and on Tuesday as well. Kharkiv was underwater. In lower areas of Kharkiv there were floods, because the water came down the hillsides.

On Monday I was caught by the storm while being on the dacha. I though it would be nice to go there and check if there are strawberries ripened* and yield them. But skies went really stormy while I was driving there, so we (me and Dad) decided just check berries and quickly return, but at the moment I parked my car and we went out of it the really heavy storm began and after yielding just about seven berries :))) we were running to the car and escaping quickly. But rain was heavy and car's windows went steamed up* and there was nothing I could see through them, so we were trying to wipe dry* the window, but it was generally useless.

So I crept (I cannot call it differently) on, lighting all the lights of my car. When I reached the road the window dismisTed ;) and I could drive quite normally, though the rain was still heavy.

And the next day the weather decided to drown the city about noon. Rains and floods were heavier. Transport stuck because of wetting. But storm finally stopped, though there were light rains through the rest of the day. And in the evening just before the sunset overall lighting outdoors suddenly went apocalyptically yellow.

Haha, and on the one of the streets, which is actually a slope, asphalt was just washed away*. I drove up there yesterday and it is awful...

Post Rock

Is it after rock? Or after what is it?

I associated the term with the music and with the picture after nuclear war - in the way I can imagine it. Everything gone, and the new life begins. New rock. New music.



Or is it a sort of 'spring' state? But yeah, it's similar. New life, new green after winter. Post winter. Post rock.
