Mysterious

Today, on the way to work, in three different places, three different black cats crossed my path. Three times.
Dear Universe, what are you trying to tell me?

Problems...Problems...Problems...

Somehow, I have a real trouble to test the hamsa pattern.

I don't understand why.
I've made 8 hamsas according to the pattern, but my testers are not able to finish one by my instructions.
It is definitely my fault, but I can't figure out why it is happens…

Happy Purim!

Today we celebrate Purim !

Early morning / Рано утром

We do not need a pillow- we have a cat

Не удержалась
Нам не нужны подушки - у нас есть кошка!
Кошка-подушка

I'm dreaming about my own site / Я мечтаю о своем сайте

I asked my husband make me Internet site for my handmade stuff. Instead, he send me make a market research.
That's what happens when the husband is a top manager :)

Попросила мужа сделать мне сайт, а вместо этого он отправил меня в делительный market research.
Вот что бывает, когда муж - большой начальник :)



Или это он просто меня так деликатно послал на... отшил?

Happy New Year! / С Новым Годом !

Happy New Year, dear friends!


Сегодня смотрела по телевизору "Гусарскую баладу".
Делайте со мной, что хотите, но всякий раз, как на экране произносили "Это поручик Ржевский", я не могла удержаться от совершенно бесконтрольного глупого хихиканья.


С Новым Годом всех!

Добро против добра

У нас , наконец, началась зима.По этому случаю купила дочкам новые зонтики.
Пока дома разбиралась с глажкой белья, деточки устроили эпическую битву джедаев.
Результат : два погнутых и сломанных зонтика.

Late Hanukkah post / Поздний ханукальный пост.

Hanukkah is officially ended last week. We all ate too many donuts and potato pancakes.

But besides extra pounds, the holiday left also some good memories: my daughters got a completely cool dreidel:

Ханука официально закончилась на прошлой неделе. Мы все съели слишком много пончиков и картофельный оладий.

Но, кроме лишних килограммов, от праздника остались и хорошие воспоминания: мои дочки получили исключительный ханукальный волчок.

Rest in peace, dear goldfish / Спи спокойно, дорогой товарищ Золотая рыбка

The goldfish died. He killed by the cat. No, the cat didn't eat him, he even didn't touch the fish.
The cat just drank almost all water in aquarium.




Нашей Золотой рыбки уже нет в живых. Ее убила кошка.Нет, кошка не ела рыбку, она даже к ней не прикоснулась .
Кошка просто выпила почти всю воду аквариума.

Compliments / Комплименты

Yesterday I've got the most complimentary feedback at all to my Rupert the Crab pattern:

"This is probably the most detailed, best written pattern I have ever seen, and she only charged $4..."





Вчера я получила, наверное, самый большой комплимент моей схеме:



"Это, вероятно, самая подробная, лучшая письменная схема, которую я видела, и она просит за нее только $ 4 ..."

I'm confused

I find it very difficult to understand these kind of messages:
"You've reached 85% of your unlimited space"

Gamer - the movie review

So, I'm sick again.






I decided to see the "Gamer" movie - of course, because of Dexter. I mean because of Michael C. Hall.






The movie and especially the end of it make me laugh, really laugh.



In russian fandom (fantasy/sci-fi fans society) we have a really well-known character, named "Чорный Властелин", it means "The Dark Lord". This character is the quintessence of all main anti-heroes, a common collective image of all clichés.

Like Dr. Evil or Spector main guy etc'

Why do I talk about this? Because, according to common cliché, during the Last Epic Battle the Main Hero, The Good Guy will be surely defeated. And then The Dark Lord, instead of kill The Good Guy, just begins to explain how and why he won it and what comes next. Of course, while The Dark Lord so passionate talking about it, The Good Guy gathers his forces and kills The Dark Lord.

This scenario has its own chapter in humoristic "Manual for The Dark Lord": Just kill the good guy!"

And in this movie, Gamer, it's ends exactly according to the Dark Lord's script.

The best moment in the movie is, of course, the Ken Castle's song and the dance.

Interestingly, is he singing by himself?
I hope that the actor will not perform only the role of evil heroes in the future.

Simon's Cat in 'The Box'

Absolutely love it!

Dexter

Yesterday I was in "sick day" vacation, and I did a kind of act of heroism: I saw the entire first season of "Dexter".

I always had a kind of "issue" with serial killers - I love to watch movies or read books with racing after serial killers and finally catching them.


So what I have to say about Dexter?Apparently, I'm in love with this TV series.
The series really interesting, not expected (although I've read three books about Dexter a long time ago).
It is is hard to think about Dexter as a monster, he just too cute.
Of course, I have all sorts of philosophical insights on the subject ...


In short: highly recommended and very addictive.

P.S. I'm not a psycho
