I don’t know how many records I’ve ‘lost’, vinyls or CDs, and even cassettes, by lending them to my ‘friends’, but I’ve lost a lot. If you also lent people your records, you’ll see what I’m talking about, right? Albums that I really cared about, which were sometimes almost impossible to find again! So one […]
Life
A Pain in the…Ear
Bzzzzz… Bzzzzz… Bzzzzz… – Hey! Do you hear the bees? – Huh? – The bees! Can you hear them? – What bees? There are no bees here! – Well, what’s this buzzing in my head? Like you, I’ve been to over a thousand concerts. And I still continue to go to them. I’ve seen good […]
Old Lady Hands
I’ve never liked my hands, even as a teenager. I used to secretly compare the skin on my hands with my classmates’ and friends’ hands. Their hands always looked so beautiful. Their skin was so smooth – like the skin of an ‘English rose’. I always thought that my hand skin looked like it was […]
Old Teeth

So I’ll tell you a little story about this alcohol, which is very (too?) popular in Russia. […]
Putting on weight – it’s so easy!
