Another one from my trip on board of Margaret Todd...

The day before Lina left we went shooting Mt Cadillac... It was after work so the sun was bginning to set... That's what I got from you way there...

A small series of Margaret Todd schooner's scarlet sails...



( two more )

This was shot on Debbah's roof... Madina and I used to go there from time to time... To breathe, you know... ;)

Anna... She's from Kurgan.... We worked together at Debbah's this summer...

some more geological stuff..

Another shot from the Shorepath..

Now this is a guy from the Ukraine who is now living in Boston... Vlad and Imet him on Dream Theater concert and he gave us shelter for that night... We had great time together...

This one was taken in Boston (hard to guess, right? ;) ) when Vlad and I were heading to Dream Theater concert...

I think I'll start posting misc shots from my trip to the US...

Madina and I often spent our lunch and dinner brakes on Bar Harbor Shorepath... I just fell in love with those stones...

I will now share some music with you)))

Here it is... It's empty right now, though... But soon enough there will be some cool stuff...

I found a blog of two extremely talented artists:Kris & Jen

I especially liked the series called "Death to the Angels!"

It all started with this picture.. And, funny as it is, at first I just wanted to place it on the right of a blank 1440*900 image - that's it... but no!... my Muse seemed to have a better plan!.. And then I thought about a nice image for the background that would fit perfectly... And then, in the process I added this one as well...

So now I've got a bruise under my right eye... not a big one, but still pretty noticeable... %))))

After the rehearsal we hung out at our keyboardist's place. I had Hoegaarden (white unfiltered beer) and Andrew & Lina (my best friend and actually his girlfriend) were drinking champagne...
So, after she opened the second bottle of champagne she threw the cork from it at me, as a joke... But missed and I threw it back and it hit her forehead...
Here I must admit that Lina is a crazy girl herself and alcohol makes her simply outrageous....
So, she felt righteous fury and t first she wanted to throw an empty chmpagne bottle at me...
Но Андрейко ее отговорил и предложил свой сотовый, рассчитывал, что она это в лучшем случае воспримет как шутку, а в худшем промахнется...
But Andrew persuaded her to use his cellphone instead, hopng that it would turn it into a joke or she would miss at least...

but...

SHE DID NOT MISS


and Siemens ME75 hit me right at my right cheekbone...
A cell, which, according to his owner's words, experienced an indefinite number of falls, did not survive hitting my cheekbone...
it worked for a couple more hours and then expired...

Andrew: He, it's conscience killed it...
Naka: Yup, it couldn't live with having been used as an instrument of voilence...

no, it's not broken, it just shows a white screen and refuses to operate...


And in the morning my guitarist calls me (he and our drummer were going to a pool tournament to my town that morning) asking:"Hey, wanna go home by car?" Of course I do!! Otherwise I would have to go by bus or train... And he's like "ok, we'll be there in 15 minutes". I'm getting ready very quickly, noticing that I've got that bruise... Andrew says:"Hey, you've got strategically right fringe" and he was right, so now I look like a damn emo, 'cause I have to cover my right eye with the longer part of the fring (which is exactly on the right)

On our way, we stopped by some shop and I got myself a salad and a bottle of sparkling mineral water (it's usually used for fighting hangover). So, I'm eating in the car, we stop at a gas station and there comes that guy - the station worker - and he gave me a really sad look. And that made me think of how it looked from the side... Now, picture it:

a car with three guys and a brused girl, embracing a bottle of mineral water and chewing a salad... daamn, looked really sick i guess...)))

I started this thig a few days ago - I just go to the city centre, put the earphones on and roam the streets. I walk for hours in my silent introspection... And I realised that I love this big grey city where no one cares... No one interferes with the process... lovely... "No one around cares about who we are and what pain we carry in our hearts" Margarita Pushkina

The subj phrase has been my motto lately...

Today.

It took me three. THREE. Re-installations of Windows XP to install WinRAR. Daamn... There are no words...

It was REALLY... MY BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY EVER!

I only invited my closest friends: my band and a few more people... we had a kind of picnic in our backyard and it was f*cking awesome)))))))

No photos yet, later, be patient my friends...

as I said it was absolutely fantastic...


the most surrealistic picture of the evening was my dead drunk bass player Igor hugging my uncle... and then, my relatives singing songs to guitar, drunk together with the band... Knowing my parents, and especially how conservative and strict about alcohol they are... that was completely unbeleivable... My band members just literally charmed them...

Then we went to continue celebration to Lina's friend. We went there by my drummer's car although he had some drinks too and just at her door the road militia caught us... He had to pay... And swore he would never drink and drive nymore... But it all ended good... We had loads of fun... I got SO F*CKING DRUNKwith my favourite wine - Merlot & Pamid, I drank right from the 1.5 liter bottle... Maaaan, that was delicious and although the amounts of alcohol it felt SOOOO GOOOOD...

Ok... I'm back... Back home...

I'v egot TONNS of photos... Only with my new DSLR I took more than 3 thousand shots... My friend Lucy promised to come one evenung and help me to organize them, cause I don't think I'll manage to stand in the face of a superior force of the enemy))) Anyway, some of them are already on my deviantART page, but all the rest... oooh... they're in a complete mess...

Now let me tell you how I were my birthDAY and birthday Party...

Ok... So I was born at 11:05 am (GMT+5hrs) on October 2. I met this particular moment being on a flight from New-York to Vienna. I even wanted to raise a glass of wine for that but by the time I was born they stopped serving wine. Nevermind)

Oh, anyway airports occured to be something like a curced plase for me that day... Misery loves company, you know...

The first plane left New York City being 2 hours late, the next - from Vienna to Moscow was almost 3 hours late. In Vienna, after an hour wait they put us into the plane, the pilot apologized, said they had to replace the brakes and after that they needed to replace the hydraulic valve and it would take approximately 40 mnutesand we would set sail to the sky no sooner than in an hour...Ok... I just tuck my ears into the player and switched off cause although in Vienna it was morning my organism felt it was night itwas still on American Atlantic coast time zone... Then some gyu woke me up, and told me that we were changing the plane. Then we waited a while more and finally took off.

But the real misery approached me as I came to Moscow. My cousin Arsen met me there and I had plenty of time before my flight to Chelyabinsk so we just went to a cafe and chatted... we discussed literally EVERYTHING. Then I went to the check-in... And theeere... I occured to be having 25 kilos of excessive luggage (Russian domestic flight limitation is 20 kilos, excessive is paid 100 roubles per kilo). But
Lina told me it was pretty easy to get a deal with the check-in person. But that asshole made me re-pack almost a half of it which took bloody time and then run back and forth and pay all of it. Fortunately Arsen was there cause I had literally NO MONEY. So when we were through with all that leapfrog with luggage there was really short for time and I had to run, limp, with a swollen ankle I had to run there. They announced my name on the speakers and ten seconds later I was at the last check-in. And those bitches told me I was late and the bus had already left and I had to change my ticket. By that time I had already had a natural hysteria, I was crying with anger and offence... And they said I had to pay 3000 roubles more... And Arsen had already left... I was at a damn loss... So I needed to find a telephone and call Arsen, but before that I decided to let the emotion out and calm down a little. So I just sat on the floor and wept bitterly... And that lady comes up to me, asking what was wrong with me... I explained that through tears... and she paid that fine for me and disappeared... I can swear she was an angel...

So I waited till my next flight... that time it all went quite smooth... And you know what? When I was late they announced me only once and I was there just the other second... But when I was waitng for my other flight they announced those that were late for bloody dozen of times and there were girls from the airline staff standing near the respective gates and shouting the destination towns out... f*ckers...

Well... I guess I just wasn't my day...

You’re my secret. I keep you quiet around the witch-burners.
You’re my unending obsession. I tire them all with you.
You’re my bottomless need. I’m ravenous, and you feed me.
You’re my phantom limb. Your absence burns and itches.
You’re my cloak. I wear you when the storms come.
You’re my defeat and my victory.
You’re my darkness.
You’re my end.

I don't usually pay attention to poetry on dA but this piece touched me...

Here's my first notional post to my brand new English LJ.

I study English at a university, I'm majoring in it and I've had the idea of getting an LJ besides my Russian one for a while but jut couldn't make myself do it. But now, that I've spent 4 awesome months in the US and while my thoughts are still half in English I decided to do it.

Gradually I'll make it an almost full copy of my primary LJ - I'll translate my archive posts. I really hope you'll ike it and find there something interesting to read and see. Thanks a lot and see ya!
