Guys, next time you'all are in Paris , drop by this place! Even if you are not into fish eggs! Its great. Food is old fashioned , a little fattening but there is not much of it on the plate and you wouldn't feel gross afterwards . All real good. And the old world atmosphere and its owner will charm you forever! I loved it! Metro La Tour-Maubourg.
В лесу стояла тишина.
Соколов шел уверенно и быстро, треща валежником, поблескивая очками.
Oн прошел между березами и остановился. Перед ним лежала небольшая, залитая луной поляна. Невысокая трава искрилась росою, листья орешника казались серебристо-серыми.Небольшая кучка кала лежала в траве, маслянисто поблескивая. Соколов приблизил к ней свое лицо. От кала сильно пахло. Он взял одну из слипшихся колбасок. Она была теплой и мягкой. Он поцеловал ее и стал быстро есть, жадно откусывая, мажа губы и пальцы.
Снова где-то далеко закричала ночная птица. Соколов взял две оставшиеся колбаски и, попеременно откусывая то от одной, то от другой, быстро съел.
Signature page of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact,“If, against all expectation, Germany finds itself in a difficult situation then she can be sure that the Soviet people will come to Germany's aid and will not allow Germany to be strangled. The Soviet Union wants to see a strong Germany and we will not allow Germany to be thrown to the ground.”

Today is my Mom's B-Day and I was remembering how I used to torture her when I was a teen. Turns out there is A new generation of super naughty girls in full bloom and they happen to be our own pretty daughters!
Down below is my iPhone pic - Before the Concert
Last night we went to a concert in Denver and heard Rachmaninov 3rd Concerto played by a Russian pianist Valenina Lisitza up above. I have heard this concerto a million times but Never
"My work focuses on the often awkward transition from young girl to womanhood and how confusing it can be to figure out if you're sexy, and what sexy is supposed to be," Sophia RoesslerMolly Soda (who once made a miniseriesread diary entries about hanging out with her friends and dance around in her room using wigs and Photobooth effects to alter her appearance. told me. Inspired by the work of "Tumblr celebrity" about "12 year old bffs"), extensive YouTube research, and her own memories, Roessler filmed a bunch of videos emulating the way tweens act online: in addition to asking commenters if she's pretty, you can watch Roessler
"I wanted to explore pure teenage sentimentality," she said. "People dismiss teen girls and their emotions as stupid, but is it really that dumb to be sentimental?" It's true; while the "Am I Ugly?" videos made my heart break a little, I can think of countless times I've made fun of my friends' little sisters' emo spoken word poetry or simpering VYou accounts, rather than considering their work as a legitimate form of expression — and that's coming from someone who regularly staged her own productions of RENT in her living room back in the day. I told Roessler it was often hard for me to feel like YouTube teens are really "being themselves," maybe because their movements seem so orchestrated after I've watched video after video of the same eyerolls and giggles — and also because, well, it's YouTube, the number one website for 15-seconds-of-fame-seekers. Roessler said that's exactly why she tried to make her videos as cringe-inducing as possible, to encourage viewers to reconsider the discomfort they feel when confronted with "genuinity."
Of course, it's not just the videos that make us cringe — it's the comments. I asked Roessler if she was honestly immune to cyber-bullying, even as a 21-year-old. "Of course I cared what people said, even though I didn't think I would," she said, adding that it worked both ways — nice comments made her worry that the piece would turn into a vanity project and that she'd feel conceited, but mean comments, even about her hair, which she purposefully messed up to seem younger, made her feel shittier than she expected.
Here's one photo from her installation. (a larger, more formal project is taking place this May - check it out if you're in Kansas City!) Some of her videos played on loop in a bedroom she filled with paint-pen drawings, stickers, snapshots and other "nostalgic ephemera" — including leaves to represent the changing of seasons — meant to "create this dreamy space that is more about the fluidity of memory."
Никого не будет в доме,
Кроме сумерек. Один
Зимний день в сквозном проеме
Незадернутых гардин.
Только белых мокрых комьев
Быстрый промельк моховой,
Только крыши, снег, и, кроме
Крыш и снега, никого.
Кто хвалится родством своим со знатью,
Кто силой, кто блестящим галуном,
Кто кошельком, кто пряжками на платье,
Кто соколом, собакой, скакуном.
Есть у людей различные пристрастья,
Но каждому милей всего одно.
А у меня особенное счастье, -
В нем остальное все заключено.
Твоя любовь, мой друг, дороже клада,
Почетнее короны королей,
Наряднее богатого наряда,
Охоты соколиной веселей.
Ты можешь все отнять, чем я владею,
И в этот миг я сразу обеднею.
