These days it seems easier to just post pictures....
A couple of weeks ago we went to Kasia/Michał/Antek's place where Krzysiek prepared some sushi (well - maki to be exact if I'm not mistaken but I'm no expert so I'm not sure) - it was a very cool evening, though I've been a good girl and didn't drink but a few tiny shots (yes, shots) of some chinese wine... I was still ill back then.. My nose is still stuffed by the way, which is annoying as hell, but at least I don't feel weak or feverish.



There was also some melon and other stuff...



And then here's our outing to the photo exhibition last Saturday... so we meet around 1pm...



We went to see this:

 Pictures from Belfast

But lo and behold - with no warning - it was closed so we had to go to the spontaneous plan B and see this:


 Life in Poland between the 2 wars



Afterward we went for some pizza, then Anne went to work around 6pm and I went home completely exhausted for some reason.. I actually took a nap (spontaneous, after talking on the phone to someone I just stayed on the couch and dozed off) and then around 8-9 pm I went to Daria and Roberto's place to meet some colleagues from work.

Anne came there around midnight after work and already managed to get her hands on a guitar - so it was only for few minutes but still ;-)



Last but not least - we watched some movies yesterday and today..

 

I want to write about all of them, but will I??

Shit it's midnight already and we're supposed to watch Desperate Housewives still now....

And last but not least - Des Des tomorrow!!

It's all downtown from Marszałkowska to the Royal Route! [Nov. 15th, 2008|05:32 pm]

machinatorculus
finally that area will become something more of a city. this building wouldn't perhaps do the trick alone, but combined with the Wolf edifice across Jerozolimskie and whatever will be eventually erected in place of the fugly box in Przeskok there's strong hope Warsaw will gain a proper pulsating downtown.

it's really pity that János Sylvester didn't base his Hungarian grammar on the Hebrew grammar. because the more i get to learn about Hebrew grammar, the more similarities and analogies with Hungarian language i find:

dagesh | assimilation of v [-val/vel etc.]

change of consonants order in hitpael if ש, צ, ס | teher - terhes, kehely - kelyhek

expression of possession [possessive suffixes]

object suffixes | two conjugations and implicativus [-lak/lek] - it makes possible omitting the object

etc.

"Pochwała komunizmu" [Nov. 12th, 2008|02:22 am]

Kinga Dunin

cały artykuł ) gdyby jakiś komunistyczny sponsor przelewał na moje konto właściwą sumę pieniędzy niezależnie od tego, czy stoję, czy leżę, i tak pewno stałabym, czyli robiła to, co robię. Wysypiając się, mając czas na życie, a nawet czasem na użycie. Obawiam się, że dla wielu to, co piszę, jest wyjątkowo irytujące. Jak to tak być zadowolonym z tego, co się robi, i z tego, co się ma? Nie narzekać ani na zmęczenie pracą, ani na brak pieniędzy. I na dodatek nie twierdzić, że okupiło się to wielkim wysiłkiem i wyrzeczeniami. Sorry, ale samo przyszło. Czy jednak jest to utopia dobra dla wszystkich? Ludzie są uwikłani w kapitalizm na dwa sposoby. Po pierwsze - z przymusu ekonomicznego. Muszą zarabiać, żeby żyć, i nie stawiają sobie głupich pytań, czy przypadkiem nie woleliby robić czegoś innego. Po drugie - ponieważ uważają, że zarabianie i wydawanie jest fajne samo przez się. Przyjemność daje im to, co przynosi pieniądze. Takim ludziom w komunizmie nie chciałoby się stuknąć palcem o palec. Najczęściej jednak ludzie nie potrafią odróżnić jednego od drugiego. Marzenia komunistycznego od kapitalistycznego. Stąd zapewne irytacja czytelniczek wywołana listem dziewczyny, która ma wszystko, ale nie zależy jej na kasie. Po prostu Agata jest komunistką. Dodałabym jednak do tego jeszcze jeden warunek: dążenie, żeby wszyscy, którzy tego pragną (a może nawet ci, którzy tego nie pragną), tak mieli. Bo komunizm to nie jest kapitalizm, w którym kasę dzieli się po równo, tylko zupełnie inny świat.

w poranek Święta Niepodległości dobudzałem się w toalecie radiem.
w radiu leciała "Polska" Kazika.
i to nie było Antyradio.
tylko Trójka.

Nocne sklepy z mlekiem
I patrzę, co się dzieje pod sklepem
Tłum przystawia komuś do twarzy pięści
Żądają dla niego kary śmierci
Znowu poranne pociągi
Ja stoję i patrzę na mundurowe dziwolągi
Czy byłeś kiedyś u nas na dworcu w nocy
Jest tak brudno i brzydko, że pękają oczy, oczy, oczy.

Polska
Mieszkam w Polsce
Mieszkam w Polsce
Mieszkam tu, tu, tu, tu
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu ...

W ramach szybkiego ćwiczenia z mojego horoskopu, mam pracować nad poczuciem własnej wartości i kluczem do jego budowy jest uświadomienie sobie wyjątkowych cech, z których jest się dumnym.
No i właśnie zaczynam nad nimi rozmyślać. Lecz zgodnie ze znaną prawdą ludową - im więcej się o czymś myśli, tym na głupsze pomysły się wpada.
Więc ja może na razie nie będę jej publikowała :>

OH GOOD MOTHERFUCKING GODS.

"America will soon pay for this democratic whimsy. [...] Obama is an approaching cataclysm, the end of the white civilization." Link in Polish, though Western journalists will probably translate it soon and the world's gonna laugh at those crazy Poles. Won't be the first time.

This idiot's party discipline leader says he's not a racist, he's a...

...wait for it...

...a monarchist.

The fucker himself said his speech had no racist connotations and obviously only leftist media can spin it as such; he just presented the facts, interpreting them in accordance with his conservative perspective. Un. Fucking. Believable.

Will I be emailing his office, and to the Sejm deputy speaker who didn't stop him running his mouth? You betcha.

Today I feel as shitty as I felt on Wednesday - at the beginning of my 'illness'. I feel horrible, throat, nose, headache, I'm so weak that I can barely manage to be off the couch for 5 minutes.. what the fuck is that?

It should've passed by now... I didn't expect it not to - so of course I'm going back to work tomorrow :/ I don't even remember at what stage I've left all my open cases at work but somehow I can't be bothered to go to the doctor's again tomorrow - but shit, what if I still feel like that - I'll only suffer there...... grrr

I want to feel ok dammit. Roisin's concert is on Wednesday!!!

So we've stayed home all week, I didn't even move an inch. Tonight we're supposed to go to Kasia and Michał's place though (like most Sundays ;-) - I hope I'll be up for it.

In the meantime - today we've watched our videos - from the trip to Prague, then Crete and then Amsterdam from 2007 and also the Gay Pride in Warsaw in 2006 - they're coool - I want to film more!





and yeah, our suitcases are still on the living room floor, did I mention that I feel like shit?

[music |Iron Maiden: Fear Of The Dark]

powiedziano mi, że chronologia się nie liczy, więc zaczynam od dzisiaj, a chronologię zostawię na te trzy miesiące zdjęć.

na początek cytat z książki znalezionej przy haźlu:

Podobno jednak przy nauce gramatyki to, co zostanie wbite przez tyłek, najlepiej utrwala się w pamięci. I im więcej uczyliśmy się, tym bardziej zaczynaliśmy kochać mroczną szkołę, której grube kamienne mury zamykały naszą młodość jak w grobowcu.

[Mika Waltari: "Mikael Karvajalka" s. 17]

dziś w połowie zajęć indywidualnych w bibliotece zapadła ciemność. na zewnątrz ciemność już się od kilkunastu minut robiła, więc podejście do okna nic szczególnie nie dało, syntagmy nie wyłaniały się z kartki. ciemność zapanowała w całym budynku, brakowało mi tylko czerwonych migających lampek i alarmu przez radiowęzeł [jeśli w ogóle coś takiego u nas jest], a poczułbym się jak na łodzi podwodnej z filmu jakiegoś. następne zajęcia musiałem odwołać, bo miałem je mieć w sali w podziemiach, bez okien.

oto są znaki końca tej budowli... najwyższy czas. ;)

najbardziej żałowałem, że nie da się zrobić zdjęcia pokazującego taką wyjątkowo zaistniałą ciemność...

I just gave up on my blog, Netropolia, which was supposed to be something cyberpunkish and steampunkish and all-things-fun-ish or something. I think it was going pretty well, at least with essays. It was fun. But I no longer seem to have time to update regularly, so I closed it. It made me sad. I guess my brilliant essay about 'open source everything' will never see the world, then. Because, seriously, I have no idea where else could this be published (in Poland).

I like my job, but sometimes this little rebel in me gets totally pissed off because of lack of time for other things. And I have to repeat to myself over and over again that it's my choice to rest or spend time with D. or make up stories instead of reading news and writing essays.

But I'm sad anyway. I started Netropolia when I was looking for a job, and first the planning, then writing itself kept me sane when I was frustrated because noone wanted to hire me. I guess I'll have to persuade myself that studying comics books and conspiracy theories for my thesis will have greater value. Besides, there're always other, not so long-term projects. It's always closing the doors and opening the doors at the same time, I guess.

The big 3-0. Half-way there?

Thank you America for the lovely gift with Barack being elected! (I'll wait for the final and official results on Proposition 8 :P I hear it's still a close call) - it's funny how I'm enthusiastic about changes happening in a different country.. but then nothing is changing in mine, that's for sure.....

Anyway - check out the lovely stamps that Netherlands has - that country is also very cool ;-)



Thanks Kimm for the card :)

In other words - I'm on the sick leave till Friday, going back to work on Monday.. I don't feel better to be honest, but I guess I just have to sweat it all out........ yuck.

At least my personal nurse is here with me (its so great she's mostly working from home *sigh*) so now I'm waiting for some birthday pancakes ;-)

She's already spoilt me with gifts - I got the World Press Photo'08 book, a cool BLUE Adidas hoodie ( I know I have to do sports :P), a little Pharaoh figurine (and I had to stop myself from buying junk in Egypt hehe) and a brand new 4 generation Ipod nanooooooooo. 16 GB of space. At last I'll be free :D

Not to mention the champagne bottle of Piper-Heidsieck. Pity I feel like shit, but well, we'll drink it sooner or later. Maybe a little glass tonight will make me even feel better! Who knows.
