now i remember why i stopped updating the diary in the first place. trying to think up of what to write is very time consuming and i'm already bored with the process. but i still really like reading about other ppl's lives.

got a great haircut. :) now i'm ready for vacation (although losing 10-15 pounds wouldn't hurt either).

Мишка вчера закрыл себя в ванноии. когда пытался выити, так дёрнул за ручку что она отлетела. моя подруга (и соседка с верху) наконец-то его вызволила минут через 10. но было интересно себе представлять как он там ночевать будет пока супер утром не придёт.

completely sucks. the weather is giving me arthritis and headaches and Mishka started his vacation, so now he needs to be fed and entertained daily. considering going home early, as can't find another workable solution for the headache (in order to buy tylenol i'd be passing by the subway station, might as well go in).

сколько можно? на улице холодно, на работе холодно, дома холодно (утром даже горячеи воды не было). я хочу лето и тепло!!!

почему от всемирного потепления только белым медведям и пингвинам должно бы хорошо?

went to a friend's apt for a seder last night. after so many years of being an atheist and not following any religious traditions, it's hard to take them seriously. we went through the motions but none of us really cared about what we said or why. plus at that point we already went through 3 bottles of wine and had as much ahead. kind of sad that we don't really have traditions to pass on to our children. starye zabyli, novye ne vyuchili.

хотела как всегда сэкономить и сделала дешёвую стрижку. теперь хожу как дура с хвостиком уже месяц. наконец-то решилась сделать апоитмент в нормальном салоне. обоидётся это в круглую копеечку, но зато буду выглядеть как человек.

tired, cranky and sleepy. why is it when i have a productive weekend, i feel like crap afterward and when i procrastinate for two days, i feel a little guilty but completely relaxed on monday?

majorly pissed this morning. had an appt with a cleaning lady who just decided not to show up. we spoke on thursday and took my address and driving directions and then today she just decides not to come. who does something like that? how can you be so irresponsible?!!?!?!?! i'm also extremely pissed that now i need to do all the cleaning myself. not that i terribly mind cleaning or too good for it but i already made plans to be doing other stuff while she cleans (like ironing and cooking), which now won't get done again.

нужны рекоммендации для отпускного чтения, заумного и серьёзного не предлагать.

there's a woman in my office two cubicles away and she annoys me so much, my hands start itching. she has the most screeching voice and her laugh gives me goose bumps (the most comparable sounds is running a nail on a glass). i try to annoy her back with loud russian music but then other ppl ask me to turn it down a bit (can't use headphones as then don't hear the phone). i really think i will do something horrible to her one day. any suggestions? i'm thinking of starting with something very mild, like knopki na stule. although tempering with her phone will at least limit her capabilities of talking to everyone she knows every single day.

а в New Yorke опять дождь. настроение под стать мерзкое. не представляю как с такои серостью за окном можно не хандрить.

You probably heard about a new reality show with Trump. Yesterday was another episode. It once again proved that often luck has more to do with winning than skill. One team won during the last 2 minutes purely due to luck, they sucked during the challenge whereas the other team had a great strategy but ended up losing any way. So, where's the justice?

когда уже будет весна. пока что льёт как из ведра уже неделю, и просвета не видно. я хочу солнешко, птичек и цеточков. от такого частого юзанья у меня уже два зонтика сломалось (причём не из дешовых). зато всего через две недели я буду лежать на белом песочке и загорать. как бы только эти две недели подвинуть вперёд?

I guess I need a quick recap of the past few months (3 to be exact). not much happened. I moved to a new position at work, which basically meant bigger piles on my desk, more deadlines and responsibility. but i also get to go on cool trips. last month it was Las Vegas. don't get to see much of the city on these business trips but do get to go to very expensive restaurants with clients. in Vegas we went to Nobu (not sure if it rings a bell for anyone but it's considered one of the best/most expensive sushi places in NY and LV). next month it'll be Chicago. hopefully it'll be less exhausting but I have a feeling it won't. i'll be working through the weekend and they're making me come to the office on the day i fly back. i'm not even mentioning the fact that we all have to go to a baseball game on sunday night. the sacraficies we have to make for a paycheck.

одно дело комментарии у Юльки писать а другое целые посты сочинять. но с другои стороны практика опять таки. only a line and a half and i'm already tired. will lapse into english for a bit. too late in the day to be able to thing/type in latin russian.

it seems that there are still those who's prefer a revival of this project that never quite took off from the beginning. I could technically give it another try if that's what obshestvennost' desires.

Как только решила писать по-русски прошла всякая охота писать. Придется себя заставлять. Но может быть игра не стоит свеч? Я уже почти пол года пытаюсь втянутся в дневник и никак не получается. Может просто с етим делом завязать?

Юлька ну как мои русскии очень заржавел? По-моиму не так уж и плохо для пятого класса.

Блин, теперь надо думать по-русски. Как-то непривычно. Но как видимо придётся привыкать. Такая практика мне не помешает. Надеюсь ета новинка осчaстливит моих несушествуюших читателеи.
