XKCD: The Important Field

To have air of awareness

Several days ago I found a new phrase definition.


To have air of something/somebody means to look like something/somebody.

Thoughts on the go

Dear Diary,

From the next Monday I start attending to English class again, but as of maternity leave, Katia is not our teacher anymore, but Katia is... Well, our new teacher's name is Katia and we aren't to memorize her name! Just kidding.

Today I watched 'The DOGMA' movie with subtitles on, understood almost everything without looking at the bottom of the screen. Noticed, that in english film more sensitive and touching (overflown with swearing, as well). Russian translation's satire is more Juvenalian, while original seemed more like Horatian.

It's late and I'm still up, so bye now and I hope to see you soon.

PS: Do I need some separate site for introducing interesting moments of the language that I discover from time to time or that should be done right here?

My reading progress

Dear Diary,

Today I'm a good boy! I've read more than 20 pages in one go. And that afterall was Orwell. You know, after some period of adoptation to the author's style it's much easier to read. First 20 pages was a pain for me but now I'm ok and enjoing that good book.

See you soon.

PS: What whould you recommend to read?

Not enough power

Hey Diary, I need your support.

Theese days I completely depleted all my power sources. I feel like a leaf on the autumn's tree: after long time of working very hard, doing your best, you realize that everything slows down, that actually it's you slowing down and it is you are yellow, it's your turn to take a rest.

I've a lot things to do, but I've lost almost all my motivation and my efficiency is very low now. I suppose it's swings effect and low performance time. But every time I reach it, I really hate it. Boy, wish I could be drunk, though it would be worse than that.

Bye Diary.

Sleepy thoughts

Dear Diary,

I haven't seen you for a long time! But don't be so angry, I have an excuse, I was really tired that days and wasn't powered enough to open my browser, type your address and, at last show you mine world. Besides, I even forgot to read Orwell's "1984"! That's horrible, for several months I zealously read english books every day and now I have a week-long gap! Shame-shame-shame. Sue me next time, please!

That's the very difficult to pay enough attention to one's hobbies after hard routine days, you know. Oh, well, you're my diary and you have no sense of things like that at all.

Last week, perhaps, was something special for me: there was some new exciting people to met, some new situations and so on. But don't be bothered, I won't tell you a little bit of that.

Cheers!
