Awwww dog!

I had heard about something like that, vaguely, and got some RP mileage out of it here, but it is nice to have a proper article about it.

Oh, weren't they always! I suspect there is always a spot of greener grass somewhere on the other side...

I've learned to content myself with my drought-stricken patch. :)

God LJ is slow this morning!

[yakalskovich]

You should have seen how slow it was last night! I was getting 'nginx' errors at time!

And yes, I quite like my own patch as well. It contains cats, tea, and lots of things to read.

And books!

The staple of life.

Did you see how many young Russians were reading the classics? It was very heartening!

[yakalskovich]

No. Where did they write about that?

[idylchild.livejournal.com]

In Writersblock.

The question was "What book do you reread?" and sooooo many Russians said Bulgakov, Gorky, Tolstoy.

I was pleased. :)

[yakalskovich]

As for Russian classics, I always preferred Dostoevsky to Tolstoy. I think I never read anything of the latter...

And I'm not going to any time soon, because from July 1st onwards, I read 'Song of Ice and Fire' before I read anything else.

And by Bulgakov, I only read 'The Master and Margarita', but several times. And gave it to people as presents several times (different people!) because I thought it might be fun for them.

I like Turgenev. :)

You never read Tolstoy? *shocked*

[yakalskovich]

Nope, I never read Tolstoy. Is that very bad?

[idylchild.livejournal.com]

Even his fairy tales???

[yakalskovich]

Nope, not even those...

[idylchild.livejournal.com]

That's pretty bad.

[yakalskovich]

I guess I know what I am going to read when Song of Ice and Fire is through?

[idylchild.livejournal.com]

LOL

Or you can watch the films...

[yakalskovich]

Nope. Ordered a book.-

[idylchild.livejournal.com]

Good for you! :)

[yakalskovich]

One more for the stacks...

[idylchild.livejournal.com]

LOL

I now have a mountain beside my bed! I need a month of bed rest to get through them all.

[yakalskovich]

So do I; but I don't want the attendant complicated leg fracture!

I want to take a mental health month.

To recover from dealing with my fellow man!

[yakalskovich]

That would entail conveying to said fellow man that dealing with him (as an old-fashioned generalisation of 'mankind', not a jibe against the male* of the species!) will necessitate a mental health month from time to time...


* My friend the Nazgul is in a women-only workplace, and that's just as bad.
