Russian New Year

This is why they should have things like Perviy Kanal in the US. This is a little clip from New Year's Eve from Russian television. It's kinda fucking amazing and why don't we have shit like this here? The group is Fabrika and they are sort of a comedy/facts of life group, singing about going to the beach, and being a hussy for sugar daddies and the such. Basically, one of the best groups ever. Anyways, my children, this is why we should all have Russian television.

С Рождеством!

Hi, children!

Today is Orthodox Christmas and if I was a good little Christian boy, my yolka (tree) would still be up until the fourteenth of January (Russian New Year). Alas, I am not and it is boxed away, but I can still drink myself to death today, right?

Over It!

This is just to document something. More later.

Today, I Am a Woman

So, my family came over the other day to give me my Christmas gifts and so we could discuss the future. My gifts included money (the best gift of all), a new cookbook, and some crap from my step grandmother. But two things took the cake yesterday:
1. My mom brought me a starter herb garden!
2. Half of someone's present arrived.

Mama had planted rosemary (clipping) and seeds of sweet basil, thyme, and oregano. She had even made cute little clothespins with the common and scientific names on them. I added my own little touch with their English, Russian, and Georgian names. So, I thought I'd use half of the present to take some pictures of it to make sure the gift works before I give it away (big hint as to what it is.)

Basically, I'm uber-excited and can't wait to re-pot the little ones when it's thyme (God, I'm hilarious.)

Sorry Phillip hasn't posted in forever, he's officially a WoW-tard now.
