# I hate January, I really do. Ludmila kept me busy with translations until last week, so I haven't had much time to slip into my usual post-Christmas depression yet, but, gah. We had about 30 cm of snow last week, and now everything is disgustingly mushy, the world is all black and white and greys, and I don't even remember the last time I saw the

Looking forward to the meta! And I know that lovely feeling when stuff finally begins to gel - it's amazing.

but on a Watsonian level the whole trip is something of a Freudian slip, as if he's determined to make her experience at least on some level what he himself went through.
Oh totally. (Look, I even have an icon that fits!) Mostly, then it beautifully defines the whole thing - it's a test, I suppose, his way of seeing whether she can understand, whether she can cope. And then, miraculously (when he confesses what happened to *his* home), she is just human and starts talking about chips. (That I think he derides in the first episode?) And that's it. She becomes his kite string, the thing that tethers him to the world.

Not to put you off, because it might be a good thing, and lead somewhere, but try to work out what your dreams might be. Not just from a romantic standpoint,

Thank you. Friday was only the first time, so I'll give it another couple of lessons before I decide whether or not to sign up for the second part, but I'll keep that in mind. The problem is that sometimes I think I've spent so much time and energy resigning myself to my current job that I can't even tell what's the right thing any longer... And it feels as if it's too late anyway; I should have made this decision years and years ago.

I suppose, his way of seeing whether she can understand, whether she can cope.

I wonder if maybe it isn't all happening on a more subconscious level. What he wants to show her is that humanity has survived, but on some darker level I think maybe part of him wants to destroy her innocence a bit, even when at the same time this is what attracts him to her. (I was just a bit reminded of the SJA episode with Androvax, who wants to show everyone that destruction is the only truth in the universe.)

Solitary-summer!
I go around to teaching people via Skype lessons $20 an hour of pure Russian ($10 for 30minutes just as pure) via pay-pal transfer. Video or voice seccions, regardless.
Would you be willing to participate?

If this isn't just a generic spam-comment - sorry, but I'm already taking lessons with someone.
