I decided to stop writing this blog. Perhaps will drop by and leave some comments though. Here are some pictures from this summer in California as a final touch to this page. :-)

Просыпаюсь рано от того, что из кухни в спальню льётся яркий свет. Муж сидит на кровати. Спрашиваю: "Всё в порядке?" - "Да, ты спи, еще рано".

Засыпаю и вижу сон. Еду я на эскалаторе/конвеерной ленте, понимаю, что не туда еду, отстегиваю ремень безопасности, спрыгиваю, и весь мой багаж падает проссыпью. Конвеер останавливается, я подбираю вещи и на ( Read more... )

Swedish scientists found that women, who did boob-job (surgery to enhance the breasts), were more likely to attempt suicide than all the rest of female population. Love yourself as you are! :-)

Relatives

May be I'm too demanding and sensitive, but I don't like such situation. :-(

My husband's cousin (daughter of his Mom's sister), her husband and son live in 5 minutes from the place were we stayed this summer. When we told her in April that we are spending summer in California she expressed great excitement and proposed to help us in all possible ( Read more... )

Talked to a Russian lady from Estonia, who works at ALZA as glass-washer. She highly recommended to spend some time after my internship and look around California saying: "If you parents had enough money to send you to California for a whole summer, I'm sure they will be able to pay for two more weeks for you to travel around".

FYI, my Parents didn ( Read more... )

Google cars

In general ALZA employees don't like Google people, they are arrogant and do "all kinds of crazy things" (Health and Safety Office quote) on their parking lot, but at least it's fun to walk through and see the license plates of their cars. A few examples:

Can anybody enlighten me about Spanish Tapas? What's the fuss about? Are they really worth it? Which ones you must try once you go to Tapas restaurant?

Surprizing trend

An interesting line-up for the girls-night-out tonight: five interns ages 21(almost), 22, 23, 24 and 25. Only one of them is not of Asian origin (others are Chinese, Chinese-American, Filipino-American and Japanese-Russian-Hawaiin-American), a PhD student (all undergrads except for one MS), and married, in addition she is the oldest of five. And ( Read more... )

Strange question

There is an oppinion: "For a woman a thought about cheating (being unfaithful) is already a cheating". Would you agree? How would you qualify dreams?

What will you do when you retire?

Talked to my over-70-year old aunt last night. She spends her retired life reading and writing books. Yes, she published her first book about русская интеллигенция in spring and now it's available in Dom Knigi (last name same as mine). Now she is working on her second book and the topic is молодежь!
FYI, she was not a teacher or a professor, she ( Read more... )
