'Blue' llive (kor)

...and this is Korean version of BIGBANG's 'Blue', I like the editing, but guys screwed up at performance a bit.

also their stylist should be hanged on the nearest tree :)

2 songs

A new release from AAA 'Still love you'. They kinda repeat themselves, but the song is ok.

And this is yet another song - or a sample - that I liked. JOKER - 'Liar'

Catchy songs

Two catchy songs that I've been listening to lately.
And some others songs of theirs...

BIGBANG - Blue:


D☆DATE - Love Heaven

Ukrainian realities

Ukrainian realities:

people who have survived WWII cannot find means to survive in 'free democratic Ukraine'

people who have survived USSR repressions cannot find means to survive in 'free democratic Ukraine'

'children of Ukraine' who experienced hunger in early 1990's are scared their children would experience the same thing soon

re-distribution

One gets mixed feeling upon stumbling on something he/she created (we're talking about paid work atm) for someone on someone else's website.
The first reaction is 'Hey, wtf, that's mine! They stole my work!'. Then you understand that even if they did, they stole it from that someone who paid you to do it. And if they don't care, why should you?

lately

Ok, here goes keeping this blog up to date.

What's been happening recently?

The thing that irritates me on a daily basis is my Samsung galaxy gio phone. The worst money investment ever. After 6 month of use battery dies in less than 8 hours of standby. I bought it to be able to sync my mail while on the move, yet I can't use we-fi because the phone can't survive that much power usage. Epic fail for Samsung. 

Few times I was very late for something, because after finishing recharging my phone at 11pm I would set the alarm for the morning, yet it would before sounding the alarm at 6am. I began using alarms on my tab. 

Samsung star than I had before was brilliant. Good screen, good battery, good usability. Too bad I gave it up for this atrocity. 

Of course, battery isn't covered by warranty.

Been keeping an eye for recent release in j-pop/j-rock area, found few promising bands. 

Oh ye, before anyone gets interested, I positively hate the idea of this EURO 2012 here. All the chaos they created "preparing" for it (reconstructions, constructions, take Paton's interchange as a prominent example - they've been torturing the bridge itself and citizens for half a year, still not done and what's more - never would be done properly), all the chaos they announced they'd create by closing major streets to the traffic for a freaking MONTH; all this for someone to steal more money and pretend we're ok. 

Pfff.

Just cancel already, who needs it here? Besides the prostitutes that's been making huge business plans... 

Oh yeah - decent women won't be able to walk the streets in peace now, we've seen sex tourists rummaging the city already. Now it would only get worse.

Pfff.

And if you can't cancel, just make it comfortable for people who live here. The people who wanted the thing here aren't the ones who have to suffer because of it.

Wasn't able to even try to paint something for my personal satisfaction, been too busy with work and kinda not in the mood. 

At least I've switched to English language mode again and don't start every sentence with '最近' :)

That's great.

Here's a pic that turned out nicely:

Presenting: The peculiarities of Ukrainian construction sites. And the peculiar greed of certain Ukrainians.

Time

Interesting...
I just realized that a month has passed.
April had my BD, too. Yet it went in a flash and it's kinda scary.
No wonder I give all my free tickets away to people who can find time to use them.

Steampunk

Finished reading Kady Cross 'The girl in the steel corset'  and 'The girl in the clockwork collar'. Still trying to find proper steampunk books I guess.
Anyhow it was OK and even enjoyable in some parts, so I think author deserves her kudos. If she'd stayed true to 'more steampunk, less romance' line in second volume, it'd be even good. Good book.
As it is I can recommend only first volume, since it's more fun reading and story flow is generic, while in 2nd book it is a bit... artificial. You almost can feel author's tension to come up with next scene. May be a result of over-editing, though.
Who knows. 
Hm, but I like the cover of the 2nd book better :)
The concept of the world is good, though. Kudos. 

This one is closer to definition of steampunk than series i recently finished - Parasol Protectorate by Geil Carriger [Soulless, Changeless, Blameless, Heartless, Timeless] - but nevertheless not quite steampunk enough.

More jokes in this arrangement of books, but also less sense and more vampires and werewolves, which don't really fit into my perception of steampunk. Oh yeah and too much detail on CLOTHES. Really, the writer must have prized her wardrobe research, but to me it all was just blah-blah-blah dress. Provide illustrations, if you want people to crave for it :)
Also these series are a bit special because when I was reading it I had a strong feeling it was written somewhere right after WW II. Figures, the last book only came out in 2012. Lol. After giving it some thought, I decided not to judge whether it is a good or bad thing.Speculating is pointless. It wasn't the language, though, but ... the contents? Not the old-wrodly charm you can find in works of classics of 20th century, no, just ... something that gave a feeling of it being old. Can't ascertain what it was.

redesign

played around with design a little, as a remedy for the nerves...

nothing is going right today...

and certain people shouldn't be allowed to procreate...

Amen.

reviews for $5

And this http://fiverr.com/gigs/search?query=reviews+kindle&x=0&y=0 is a LOL.
Nothing too amazing, if u think about it. But gives some perspective.

Though... $5? Really?

Stop! In the name of love

Been listening to this song and trying to decide which variation is the best.

And the song is... 'Stop! In the name of love', a good timeless oldie.

Stop! In The Name Of Love [1965]_96.mp3
Stop! In the name of Love - Diana Ross & The Supremes.mp3
Stop in the name of love - The Hollies.mp3
NICKI FRENCH - STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE.mp3

I am sick. . .

Do i have to be grateful that my body remembered how to produce a fever and now exercises it?
