No more illusions :)

My blog is worth $0.00.
How much is your blog worth?

and I can't blame the financial crisis :)

how we do this market thing

Oil prices dropped by half, but gasoline prices in Russia somehow remained as high as ever. People started asking questions. Now, the government, citing the US markets, ordered Russian oil companies to cut gas prices, or else... The companies grudgingly agreed. This is how market economy works in our country :)

I tried to sing a lullaby to my baby, but instead of falling asleep, she started singing along.

I bark if you park

  
Sign reads: "No Park..."

Taganrog; 300.000 residents; one famous birth; one famous death

Chekhov was born here and Tsar Alexander I died here - they got monuments to both of them. I don't know Chekhov's reasons, but Alexander might die of sheer boredom. No, the place is nice, but what on Earth do people DO there?

Women's sports rulezzz

   

this sculpture looks perfectly normal until you start thinking : what the hell is going on there? Two women (apparently) are playing basketball and a man is trying to join in, but unable to jump or run, just sticks in the way like a dumbass. This is a truly feminist sculpture in disguise. Dates back to Soviet era, found in in Moscow River Port park.

Mike, the sculptor I wrote about earlier, is leaving for Canada soon. So much joy for Canada, so much pity for me. Because now, to talk to him about drawing and stuff, I'll have to fly 9 hrs by plane. Anyway, he asked me to get a few images of horses' heads from the Animal Anatomy Atlas, which I post here as well - just in case someone might need them too :) I didn't draw these, of course
