Time for a timely update
Greetings all. In order to quell frustration and revolt against the current regime of blogging frequency, I have decided to break the silence with text and imagery to hopefully assist you in the full-time task of maintaining your sanity. In other words, allowing you to spend your free time taking in the current news from Russia without thinking too much about your own problems.
First and foremost, some advice to anyone living or travelling through Moscow. Avoid dried apricots like the plague. I don't know what they put into them but here they have at least 10 times whatever it is that makes you do what you do after several dried apricots. You have been warned.
Valentines Day is coming up. I hope you blokes have all done the right thing and organized something for your ladies. Or are in the process of thinking about what she might like. :) :)
We are going out to an Indian Restaurant and it should be a fine evening indeed.
In other news, I'm due to pick up another in-company class after the company sent an email to the school requesting another teacher. I'm hoping this isn't a sign of what's to come. From what i've heard, it can be a rather frustrating experience working for this particular company. Maybe I should have said no, especially seeing as I won't be earning extra money.
I got a 419 letter the other day. I can't believe these scams are still going round. Sadly some people are still in the mood to scam. A friend sent me this link for 419 Eater, a website set up to scam the scammers. Some of the things that they have made scammers do are just hilarious. If you have some time to kill, then go for it. See it here.
Another thing that has recently come to my attention (courtesy of Sveta) is the Hapland series of games. If you are a Logic Nerd with too much free time, then these little games will give you hours of endless entertainment and will have you dreaming about little stick figure men pulling levers and getting destroyed by landmines. Click here to free yourself of spare time for the next week.
The weather is now Freakin Cold on the Moscovite Weather Skale. Ears will fall off if not protected by some form of hat. Hope you Australians are enjoying your toasty weather. If you feel like cooling off, come for a visit. We'll cut a hole in the ice for you and you can go swimming.
I make the best pizza ever. I roxxor!!!
My samsung player is awesome. It is roxxor too!!
I have been going on a download spree recently. James Bond movies have been on the list. I haven't seen Octopussy for ages and was quite excited at the prospect of watching it again. Unfortunately, since the version I got hold of was in Spanish, the experience was a bit less enjoyable (read, understandable) I now also have a 250 gb drive to store downloads on. Yayness!!!
We are expecting our washing machine to arrive on Monday, looking forward to not having to wash clothes in the bathroom any more. :) :) Due to space constraints however, the washing machine will be forced to reside in the kitchen. Hopefully it will co operate with our fridge and oven (who will probably try to brainwash it with Soviet literature, and say things like "The way things used to be." or "When I was made..")
Next week, the shipment of airsoft weaponry arrives from Denmark and we'll be pushing ahead with LAST and it's going to be awesome. We won't really start playing until March as it will still be too cold. Anyway, it is going to be a nice!! I can't vate!!!
Alright, I know you all have lives, I will let you sleep/work and eat as before. Hope you is all well-like. Don't be mischievious. Be nice to cats. Ciao and Paka.
