you did WHAT???

Hi! Hello from sunny Prague! I was going to write this post in the Munich airport but I got caught up in re-writing some short stories. Then I was going to write it at night when I couldn't sleep properly due to my jetlag, but I ended up watching Domino instead. Finally now I had some breakfast and some really yummy coffee and I am ready to rolllllllll.

When reading this, the best soundtrack would be the song "VCR" by the xx. Actually, maybe just the whole album "xx" is a good soundtrack to today's post and today's vibe and mood overall.

I always wanted to write about travelling. Flying especially... I guess I can today!

Things I hate about flying:
1. Uncomfortable seats on the plane
2. Always always feeling hungry and thirsty
3. Being really bored and tired
4. Every single stereotype of every nation is represented in every single airport in the world. E.g. Russian wives "Misha, nu chtooooo takoje ya ne ponimaju?? Idi davaj uzhe." - in fur, huge heels, too much make-up and bleached blonde hair. American students in sweatpants, flip-flops and their university jerseys - who told them that this is an appropriate way to dress for a human? Comfort is important, but being a slob is like pissing in public. Sleazy French men, in expensive looking suits, scruffy, slightly intoxicated and effortlessly cool (but sleazy anyway). I could go on but I won't.
5. In some ways all airports are the same, and all airplane situations are the same. Though I do wish they'd sell the same things in all airports, like Dr Pepper and my favorite gum.
6. Two words - OLD PEOPLE. A few more words - OLD PEOPLE THAT DON'T SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE THAT YOU KNOW, including English, German, Russian, Czech.

Things I actually enjoy on flights/travelling
1. Looking outside when the plane is descending, you can see the sky above and the clouds below, and the cities and rivers and forests underneath and it make me feel like I am in space. It gives a different perspective on the world other than just looking up from the ground all the time like a worm.
2. Secretly laughing at people when they freak out at the slightest turbulence. OMG WE'RE GONNA DIE NOW.
3. Seeing cool people - they really stand out in airports amongst the crowds of same-looking hundreds of businessmen, families, teenagers, etc. I like to think that I'm one of those =^.^=
4. Free alcohol on Lufthansa flights. That glass of red wine helps me sleeeeeeeeep
5. Testing your patience during all the long lines, waiting, shuffling, staring, getting annoyed at that one person who takes forever to "undress" for security or that one person that is arguing with the employees during boarding, or that one person at check-in that has way too many suitcases or too heavy suitcases and takes forever to decide what to do about it. Patience is taught through uncomfortable situations.

The other day I was watching "The Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet and the bass player caught my attention:


Steven Priest

Look at this cute Siamese kitty drawing!


It's not mine. I don't know who did it.

I forgot how cool it is in our apartment here. In Bloomington our flat gets so hot and I guess I just got used to it, whereas now here I am perpetually freezing even though I'm wearing full-length pants, a big tee (my WESN tee! I forgot I had it!) and socks. Socks - very important to keep warm because apparently a lot of heat escapes through your feet! That's why it's important to keep them warm and dry in the winter or the rain season.

I really want to go to Japan. I know, nothing new... tell us something we don't know already. But the reality is that it's DRIVING ME INSANE. I really want to go there, but I think I would be terrified of going there alone. How beautiful are these??

so what's the use between death and glory?

Happy endings, no they never bored me
Happy endings, they still don't bore me.

Babyshambles =^.^=
It's that kind of day. I'm just gonna show some cool pics cause it's that kind of day. Ahhlalalalaa...


Pete is such a sweetheart!!



I really really want a black German shepherd puppy.... I know they grow into big dogs. That's what I want.. to watch my puppy grow into a large ferocious beast that would actually be a total sweetheart. Black German shepherds are so fucking beautiful. Could you imagine, my black cat Panther and then a black dog.. I'm such a witch!!! Someone suggested I should just wear all black and make it my "thing" haha... maybe I will do that. But I like wearing colorful stripes too... anyways.





Aren't they the most beautiful creatures? I don't think my cat would like it very much if she knew that I wanted a black puppy. She would probably enslave him and dominate him haha... she is such a bitch when it comes to attention. She wants me all to herself!

Some albino animals are amazing.



These are amazing:




I just watched Enter the Void recently... WOOOWW



Watched Animatrix recently again... My favorite part is the haunted house and the lost cat :3


Finally, how can we forget about the Mighty Boosh???




That last one was the best! Haha... okay I'm off to clean the house. for real.

been feelin the gay lion vibez

Hello world! Feeling weird today. But that's nothing new. Been listening to the yeah yeah yeahs all day instead of doing work/ going to work. A lot of things just put me in a very weird mood.


I was reading about domestic violence/relationship abuse articles all morning, not sure why. Feeling a major inspiration for a new script coming up. So me and Alex have been having this thing about gay lions for a few days... Not sure how it started. I think it was the weird cat/owl/alien thing he drew on my arm, and then a few days later we googled it and got this, inverted color and sides:

For some reason Alex called it gay lions. And now the whole gay lions vibe is going around my head.

I decided to listen to last.fm for like the first time in years. Me and friends used last.fm waaaay before anyone knew about it, before facebook or something like that. But anyway, so I typed in Yeah Yeah Yeahs radio and.... they played "Pin" and now playing Crystal Castles "Celestica". HOW are CC related musically to YYYs?? It doesn't make any sense.

But more than anything, I've been obsessing over Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Gold Lion" song.

Outside, Inside,
This is the moon without a tide,
We'll build a fire in your eyes,
We'll build a fire when the cover's getting brighter,
Cold desire makes the moon without a tide

Last night everyone was feeling very weird. I've been having really vivid dreams that are so much like reality but strangely inverted/surrealistic/as if reality took some acid and munched on a few shrooms too. Like my cats are present in every dream. One time I dreamt Enzo and Panther had kitties (which is impossible in real life cause they're fixed) and there were two black kittens and two ginger kittens. Again, impossible in real life because they are both black cats, how could they possibly make ginger kitties?

Last night we had a sleepover of sorts because it was a scary night to be alone. I read a huge encyclopedia about the universe and it was beautiful and possibly was the reason for my strange mood today. But everything has been strange. Last night everyone was feeling strange, or at least two people. The moon was so bright and left a beautiful illumination on the clouds near to it, with an orange glow on the very edges. It was scary, everything was empty. It was like everyone disappeared from the world. And everyone that was left was a character from a post-apocalyptic novel, scavenging for food and resources, like that stupid movie Mad Max II. Listening to the same song over and over is also not helping. What if the world really is going to end really soon, in my lifetime? Would I survive, and the others that I know, or would I be left all alone in the debris of corpses and death? Or would someone else I know be left alone in the emotional delusion and I will be safely dead?
