Ненависть!
Чтоб ты подавился этим евро, безымянная сволочь. Чтоб ты всю жизнь звонил только: в полицию, пожарникам, и в скорую помощь! Чтоб в твоём доме из музыки играл только похоронный марш!

Успокоился, но БЕСИТ всё равно.

I took the incredibly wise decision of leaving my purse at work on Friday. At least, that's where I HOPE I left it. I'm not panicking about it yet, partly because I'm on medication that (theoretically) makes it impossible to panic or to feel emotions lower than a 3 or higher than an 8 on the emotional scale, and partly because there's nothing I can do about it until tomorrow. It's made my choice of meals quite interesting, because I tend to go shopping every few days throughout the week rather than do a big weekly shop, meaning I don't often have, like, LOADS of food in the house. Tonight my tea shall be porridge made with water. And maybe some peas.
It didn't matter too much. Yesterday's entertainment was drinking a tiny amount of limoncello; a tiny amount, but enough for me to get overexcited about Eurovision. I voted for Romania but didn't mind when Denmark won. I was delighted that they had a tin whistle. Now my life-plan involves moving to Denmark or southern Sweden so that I can easily access Eurovision next year, although I have a feeling I'll probably still be in Northumberland this time next year. This is not so bad, for Northumberland has many attractions.( Here, sealy sealy seals!Collapse )

La place Rouge était vide
Devant moi marchait Nathalie
Il avait un joli nom, mon guide
Nathalie

La place Rouge était blanche
La neige faisait un tapis
Et je suivais par ce froid dimanche

Одного жаль: жаль, что таких нельзя положить на брусчатку Красной площади
во время прохождения парадной колонны танков Т-90.

С. Пономарев

Красная площадь, как всегда, была белой.
Снег на ней лежал, как на стенке ковер.
И танки урчали моторами спело,
Давя всех, кто не успел свалить за бугор.

Пойми, Натали,
Поверь, Натали,
Так надо для подъема русской земли.

Когда я сидел за столом в кафе "Пушкин"
И неспешно пил мой горячий шоколад,
Лениво грызя свежайшие сушки,
В помещение ворвалась рота солдат.

Пойми, Натали,
Поверь, Натали,
Так надо для подъема русской земли.

И Красная площадь опять стала красной,
И народ победил разложение и тлен.
Деды, победы, комплексные обеды,
И снова Россия поднимается с колен.

Пойми, Натали,
Поверь, Натали,
Так было надо, иначе не могли.

what i just wrote my naturopathic doctor:

i really want to know the root cause of my thyroid issue. i am researching this and found out:
vitamin d levels need to be checked carefully for two levels. one is your body "storing" it verses your body actually circulating it

my level is only 23 right now...but i hope my body knows how to circulate it? and is not just storing it...i am taking 4,000 IU's a day now.

i am trying to find out about Hashimoto's thyroiditis. they say an underlying cause for underactive thyroid might be this. i want to know if i have this or just Hypothyroidism. also vitamin D levels have two aspects. your body "stores" vitamin D but does not always "circulate it" so you need both checked. your storage level of it verses your body actually using it.

my other concern is adrenal glands. someone said this is connected to thyroid?

i eat fairly healthy and exercise...but my life has been very stressful over the last 20 some years.

some people say take iodine and some say do not take it. i love the smell of iodine. maybe i need more of it?

The dates aren't set yet, but it looks like I'll be house-sitting for the C's in July. Hooray! Whole-house a/c and just *one* self-sufficient feline (and the Rosenweasel). There are other benefits, but those are the biggies.

The funniest thing about this video is not that a man has been treed by a bear, but that the man filming the entire episode seems completely nonplussed--after seeing the treed man he sighs heavily then nonchalantly pans to a rabbit and a long row of cars.  Just another day in Mother Russia.

I had always thought Russians had an absurdist sense of humor--but maybe it is that they have an absurdist view of life!

Трудно поверить что три дня назад я загорал в Вельском районе, неделю назад наслаждался теплом Баден-Бадена. А на Соловках лежит снег. Местами лежит, но все же он есть.

In looking at the dictionary, I realize I use a fair amount of words that begin with the letter Y.  Since I couldn't pick just one, I picked a couple.

Yeah: I say this a lot, not only in speech but also via the written word. I usually use it to convey agreement. Or acknowledgement over what someone's said.  I think it's a bad habit because it's mostly seen in poor etiquette in most circles. It shows the uneducated hick in me. :shrug: It comes out without thinking in speech. It's more purposeful in writing though. But of course if I'm writing something formally, I know better than to type it. I do have some sense about myself.

Yogurt-covered Peanuts: In a recent comment to brisus, I mentioned how much I love them but can't readily find them nowadays. When I was much younger I used to be able to find them at the local hardware store in my hometown, of all places.  I just think they're so yummy! [another Y word ;)]

Y'all: Southern plural for 'you all'.  Or for emphasis: all y'all lol :P Honestly, I have no clue how, where or why I picked this up. Likely I heard or read someone using it & adopted it. It's kinda worn itself out as apart of my vocabulary now. I don't find myself using it that much any more. I grew up saying 'you guys'. Apparently as I aged, women specifically found this sexist or something. I don't even know. It's perfectly acceptable in my hometown to say this & no one gets offended & everyone knows what you're referring to.  Maybe that's where the term y'all was adopted. It's a warmer way to say it. I've also been guilty of using the term 'you'  [look at that, another Y word!] to mean the same thing. But people tend to take that too personally when I'm using it in a general way & not them specifically. Then I find myself explaining this because I've seen too many shocked faces, so it's like the disclaimer immediately comes out. Or if I'm talking to someone who I think would take it to mean them specifically or if I'm writing & I feel my intention won't be conveyed properly, I'll add the disclaimer, as it were.  The other alternative seems too stuffy to me: one.  As in, one can imagine how difficult it must've been.

So, it's always a dilemma for me exactly what word to use in these situations because apparently the way I speak, these situations come up frequently. I tend to make lots of broad references.  :shrug:
