About Me

Night, street and streetlight, drugstore,
The purposeless, half-dim, drab light.
For all the use live on a quarter century –
Nothing will change. There’s no way out.

You’ll die – and start all over, live twice,
Everything repeats itself, just as it was:
Night, the canal’s rippled icy surface,
The drugstore, the street, and streetlight.

~Alexander Blok

Original

Charles Baudelaire

“There are, in the history of literature, many analogous destinies of actual damnation, — many men who bear the word ‘Luckless’ written in mysterious characters in the sinuous folds of their foreheads. The blind angel of Expiation hovers forever around them, punishing them with rods for the edification of others. It is in vain that their lives exhibit talents, virtues or graces. Society has for them a special anathema, accusing them even of those infirmities which its own persecutions have generated.”

yuri vinnichuk, vasyl gabor, volodymyr dibrova, oksana zabuzhko, hmm, i can't find his name in english (O_O) but it's something like yurko izdrik (or isdrik, i don't have idea), one of his stories is much alike to sorokin's conceptualism (but better, imo), volodymyr eskilev, oleh lisheha, konstyantin moskalets (again not sure), volodymyr nazarenko, galina pagutyak, lyubov ponomarenko, taras prochasko. i will never manage with eastern european names in english

    None of them have been translated! The most recent writers from Ukraine available are: Ivan Dratch, Mykola Vorobiow, Valery Chewtchuk, Ighor Kalynets, Lida Paly, Sofia Maidanska, Mykola Vinghranowsky, Iryna Jylenko. Ever heard of them?

    Sure do! Bakhtin made me want to read Gogol`s Dead Souls, how much do you love it? ;) I`ll read Andreyev too, Seven Who Were Hanged has been on my list far too long... :)

    I believe so, everything I`ve read by Gogol has been at least great: The Overcoat, The Portrait, Diary of a Madman, The Nose... And the same goes for Andreyev`s short stories!

Yeah, to me it's sort me making fun of myself for being unable to organize my love life in a workable fashion. I'm sort of sad when I watch it, but it's such an abstraction that I can't ever believe someone would understand what these random images mean.* I don't know if I plan on Japanese, but it's certainly something of interest to me. I've never been really good at learning other languages, though. Starting to learn Spanish, working in a kitchen. Which is a stereotype, but I can't help that.

https://vimeo.com/59585197 I don't know if I showed you that. Something I made that actually means something to me, but probably is so rough and undefined it's actually just meaningless. Both fit.* Is Japanese a hard language? I know Spanish is difficult because of all the multitudes of verb infinitives, I have no clue about Portuguese and of course English is a bitch because it has no rules about anything, really. I don't know if you speak Spanish, I just assumed, but how does it compare to English, at least, which I imagine is your second language?

Yeah, sorry about not responding. 55 hour weeks leave very little time to ponder my own life and tell anyone about it. I was thinking of shooting something downtown during my vacation, but it sort hindered on being able to shoot in the restaurant, which probably won't happen because of the new GM. No real news. Lots of work.
