Just a couple of hours after posting “Misha, I pregnant” the story has a continuation. This sentence struck me as very funny. It really smelled like a prank. I decided to check whether bayan is my news. I searched the net … And I found it!Just a week before my article, a series of 4 shots of the same inscription swept through joke sites (this is it, I recognized the street) accompanied by a sentimental
Misha, I’m pregnant
Confessions of love , made by paint on the asphalt under the windows of a loved one in almost every yard. Everyone is already used to them and does not pay much attention. I would also have run past this inscription if I had not accidentally seen the addressee’s name – “Misha”.
Is this a message to a guy, not a girl?! Something new – read on:
Misha, I’m pregnant – pick up the phone
Ipad is not a computer, but a TV
Has everyone already “tried” the Ipad? Well done. I also tried today. I surfed a little, launched the applications, showed the child. And at every step of “testing” I invariably figured out which of my daily tasks could be applied to a toy from Apple.As a result, I came to the conclusion that the iPad is not a computer or even a laptop. By nature, it is closer to a TV, a game console or a smartphone, because it is adapted for consuming information, and not for creating and processing it.
Insurance companies bought the traffic police base?
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been getting calls from two or three insurance companies every day, addressing me by name and offering to take out insurance on the car.
The question is, where did the insurance information come from? Have they bought the traffic police database and are calling all the motorists in the city?
I bought anti-rain – now I suffer
Today it was so raining in Kyiv that driving a car turned into torture – glass and mirrors covered with drops of water stopped supplying me with information, but only tried to cheer me up with sparkling lights.
I endured (peered intensely at this sea of lights), endured (rebuilt at random), endured (prayed to God that an idiot with the headlights off was not found on this road) and could not stand it – I drove to a gas station and bought Anti-Rain.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie review
I used to read reviews to see if a movie is worth watching (reading a book, etc.). But in the case of films about Harry Potter and the elf, it is clear that everyone will watch it anyway. Why then write a review of the Deathly Hallows?I am doing this to help you get in the right mindset before watching this movie.So, put on a warm knitted sweater, tie a scarf, prepare a thermos with sweet tea… What else would you like to add so cozy?… Ah! Wrap yourself up in a blanket and get ready to sit up all night with a book. Sitting by a long-extinguished fireplace and despite the draft and the suffering of the heroes, constantly feel wrapped in their warmth and friendship. I continue to feel it now.
I asked my wife what she feels – it turned out that a slight disappointment. After watching the trailers, she was wary of action, but there was none.There were a lot of funny moments (I did not expect it myself). There were wonderful, colorful actors of the second or even third plan. There were interesting costumes (both fabulous and ordinary everyday ones). There was a wonderful, in my opinion, cartoon retelling the legend of the Deathly Hallows.And there was no action.
True, at first, during the chase on the highway, it seemed to me that Matrix-2 was about to begin to end. But I, tired after a hard day’s work, wanted peace. And I found it.
Lonely tent in the middle of a beech forest. There I felt at home (you know what I do) and could calmly wait with the characters of the film. I was not bothered by “calm” scenes, long panoramas (I want to go to England, or where it was all filmed) and other “beautifulness”.Have you changed your mind about going to Potter yet?I’ll tell you about one more charm of this film – cutie Voldemort in the scene of the meeting of the dark forces. He’s played great. No malice and roar, only the lulling softness of a boa constrictor, offering you to climb into his mouth yourself. The perfect villain.
He also holds a wand in a completely inimitable way. Very elegant. And stylish black raincoats for all the villains. Like it or not, the dark side of the force has its own aesthetics and charm.And at the same time, it is clearly seen that Voldemort’s associates are guided solely by fear and, when barefoot is nearby, they are only miserable reptiles, not an ounce of coolness.I liked (I know that many will not agree with this) how the director conveyed the atmosphere of the new power in the Ministry of Magic. Hitler, Stalin, Antichrist and Big Brother from “1984” would envy the wonderful atmosphere of total lies and fear reigning in the world of wizards.
Although if we are talking about associations, then in the first place, of course, “The Lord of the Rings”. The heroes so diligently portray the suffering Frodo with a ring around his neck, and one of the villains in the forest looks so much like an urukkhai that it becomes incomprehensible that the chic platinum hair was given to the villain, and the noble elf walks without pants (and without a bow).Kirill YaskoZ.Y. I read a couple reviews of others authors and once again made sure that everyone finds in this world what they want to find.
Entertaining physics in the toilet
I am currently renovating my apartment and therefore I am constantly struggling with the ubiquitous dirt and dust. One of the stages of anti-dust defense is the usual thin polyethylene film, which covers everything in a row – furniture, appliances, pets and postmen.So, it turns out that if you cover the toilet flush tank with such a film, then when you press the “red button”, the water from the tank will flow for a long, long time, slowly, slowly, and with such strained gurgling, as if … I will not continue the comparison.Have you already guessed what’s the matter?
Kyiv in the fog or fog in Kyiv
Fog covered the glorious city of Kyiv last night. This is a fairly common occurrence in late autumn. The fog comes… and stays. I even got the idea that spending a week or even two under the cover of fog is the most trifling matter for Kyiv.The “Great Dive” simply cannot go unnoticed. It has the most direct impact on the lives of citizens:For example, several times a day in the body there is an irresistible desire to throw everything away, take a camera and a tripod and go to the city for pictures.
Jewelry from Nepal
Having returned after trekking to the capital of Nepal (Kathmandu), our group plunged headlong into shopping, the taste of which we managed to feel (and fall in love with) even before the trip. People bought magnets, calendars, paintings, t-shirts with embroidery, exotic bags and woolen products. I, oddly enough, concentrated exclusively on jewelry from Nepal.The question is, what adorns a man? Well, apart from the scars?
I was stung by a scorpion
During the past Turkish mountains hiking, I was stung by a scorpion. Now I will probably become Spiderman, and I will save humanity all day long. But while I am still a normal person, I have the opportunity to take a couple of minutes of time to tell about this incident. Suddenly, you will also want to become a superhero – you will know where to find a biting scorpion.It is not difficult to find an ordinary scorpion in Turkey – every evening they crawl out of their shelters and guard right on the trails. But, apparently, they do not hunt tourists at all. Therefore, for most of the campaign, we got along quite normally with scorpions. And only once did I manage to find a scorpion hungry enough to attack a person.
The series “Scrubs” – Episode about Speed Metal
I am a simple and predictable person – I saw the name of one of my favorite styles of music on YouTube and immediately wanted to click. You know, I couldn’t resist (it is understood that one should fight with the instinct to click where it doesn’t hit) – he clicked and got angry. The carrier-music lover is played very authentically and energetically.
Just in case, I note that the compositions of the Devildriver group used in the “Clinic” actually have nothing to do with Speed Metal. It’s a completely different style of music, much less aggressive. And the songs that sounded can most likely be attributed to Death Core.
Paintball review
Today I played paintball for the first time in my life. The morning before the game, I spent frantically shoveling the Internet in search of advice to beginner paintball players.And now, after just three hours of fighting, I’m already a full bowl. Ready to give advice, ready to teach the untrained, ready to sit down and write the Great Encyclopedia of Paintball in the evening. Something tells me that this fuse will pass soon, but I will most likely manage to scribble (tra-ta-ta) a small review about paintball and share a couple of considerations.
Boris Akunin – F.M.
With great reluctance, I start writing about books I read a month and a half ago. During this time, so much has happened that not only literary impressions – I hardly remember the titles of books. But who said everything has to be easy?I listened to Akuninsky Fyodor Mikhailovich (F.M.) while driving a bicycle. I listened very enthusiastically, apparently that’s why the bike was able to take advantage of my “absence” and go to bike tour in Crimea< /a>. What has me so bewitched in the aforementioned F.M.?
Terrible live sound.
I rarely go to concerts and this is largely due to the fact that I do not like the sound at these very concerts. Most often, instead of music, I managed to get by with a terrible mess of sounds. The vocalist is not audible, the guitars merge into a continuous rumble, only the drums are more or less distinguishable. At the same time, the speakers are clearly working at the limit of their capabilities and therefore desperately wheeze. Is it really impossible to make the instruments quieter, and the voice louder? Have the sound engineers moved on?I would have remained in the darkness of ignorance if I had not read a wonderful article today by Sergey Kalugin, in which he clearly explained why there is such a terrible sound at concerts, and what should be done if you want to enjoy the music, and not just look at the musicians and a little ” chop yourself” near the stage.
Swimming secrets.
At Eurosport, the European Swimming Championships (more precisely, in water sports) are in full swing now. Looking with one eye (working) at what is happening on the screen, I involuntarily became interested in some questions (why do swimmers-athletes need wetsuits, do they shave their legs, what are the splashes for, etc.).Let’s call them the secrets of swimming, although, of course, the term is controversial, it would be much better suited for an article about a secret way to quickly swim strongly without straining (like a dolphin).
Heavy metal a cappella
For a couple of months now, I have been suffering from musical hunger. I urgently need an album that can sit in my head on its own, without any special tricks, and worthy of the title “soundtrack to life” (well, at least for a couple of weeks). In search of such a miracle, I listen and re-listen to both the creations of little-known modern bands and forgotten hits of the past.In the course of such search work, I came across the music of the German band Van Canto. They perform heavy metal a cappella. use their voice as accompaniment, not guitars and keys (they have a drummer). It turns out very, very funny (interesting, fresh, energetic).
Yesterday all evening I was the witness of Google experiment. Instead of the usual interface of Google Images search results (Google Images), I was “showed” an experimental version – large images without captions, divided into pages.If you hover over the image, a pop-up window appears with an enlarged image, caption, size, and a link to the source. This version of the image search interface somehow reminded me of the style of Google Picasa. On click, a modal window was opened with an even larger frame, and the page of the image source site was loaded in the background.Airborne Forces Day in Ukraine.
I have no idea how the Day of the Airborne Forces was celebrated in Ukraine in general, even about Crimea, which is close to me now, I can say little. I am writing an article only because I learned about the day of the paratrooper this year, not from a news release (fights on the day of the Airborne Forces are a favorite plot of TV people).This time I was lucky enough to personally meet the landing force. We met not in a banal dark lane, and not even in Gorky Park, but
Review of the dinosaur exhibition at the Red Caves
This summer, the entire Crimea is hung with advertisements for the dinosaur exhibition, which was organized near the Red Cave (village of Perevalnoye, Simferopol District) . My three-year-old son was so keenly interested in “real dinosaurs” that we decided to call the organizers and ask for prices. By pure chance, at that very moment, free invitations to the exhibition were played on the radio. We were the first to call, and therefore – the winners, and the happy owners of two tickets to the “World of Dinosaurs”.There’s no way to get away, we put things aside, took our son and went to the Red Caves…
Summer boots with a hole
This summer, only the blind could not notice that the beautiful half of humanity is embraced by a new wave of fashion – everyone is vying with each other experimenting with summer boots with a hole (they are also called lace or knitted boots). Most often they are worn with miniskirts and short dresses, less often with shorts or overalls. I live in a resort seaside town, but so far, thank God, I have not noticed girls in summer boots and swimsuits.I have always been interested in the nature of popularity, the reasons why something becomes popular, the signs by which this popularity can be predicted. You guessed it – I started a mini-investigation dedicated to hole-in boots.
