Artem goes home Friday, February 6th was a great day. We took our newborn son Artem (and his mom, of course) from the hospital. Relatives came: my mother, my wife's mother, my sister and her husband with their son, and my wife's brother. Nikita, our oldest son, filmed everything on video. The day before, at home, I did a complete cleaning and assembled baby cot. And assembled without instructions, they were not in any box, no internet (this is Russia, baby :). It was not difficult, but with the assembly of the pendulum had to exert all their ingenuity.

My new stage of learning English started yesterday Last week I received my order - «English for beginner» from ESCC (European School for Correspondence Courses). 20 magazines with 40 lessons + 20 audio CD mp3 in box.

In addition, I will read (and listen) the book «The Cat in Boots», adapted for beginner. And continue to look a regular partner for a small talk in a text chat.

My answers for serios questions Samantha from Baltimore asked me two good questions. 1. Why did you decide to learn English? There are several reasons. Firstly, in the past and the year before I went abroad (the Czech Republic) and realized that it is necessary to know the language to fully communicate with people. Secondly, I have friends, the Americans and the British, and I want to communicate with them without interpreters and Google translator. Third, I am a programmer. English language for 20 years I have "before your eyes." It is time to learn to speak it. 2. How many years have you been studying? I started studying English seriously newly. Last year I have been studying English for two months, using the self-tutorials. Then I took a short break. This year I returned to the study of English.

A blood test Today morning I was must give my blood for test (group and rhesus). I really don't like this procedure. They take a huge needle and stick you in the arm. I always turn and look to the side, so as not to see it. But today decided not to do so. Looked to needle, specially. And I did it. I wins. Сегодня утром должен был сдавать кровь в больнице на анализ (группа крови и резус фактор). Я очень не люблю эту процедуру. Берут огромную иглу и втыкают её в руку. Я всегда поворачиваюсь и смотрю в сторону, чтобы не видеть это. Но сегодня решил так не делать. Смотрел на иглу, специально. И у меня это получилось. Я победил.

Friday Joke In office workers in Russia have a tradition - to celebrate Friday. On this day, everyone is trying to not work too much and joke a lot. Today's joke of the day: The Kremlin disappointed: the Olympics (as in the 80s) was repeated, leader returned, the Cold War returned, the Iron Curtain and and deficiency of food returned soon, but the erection, as a young time - does not return.

Switch to English Last fall and this summer I traveled to Prague. So I studied the Czech language. My next trip to the Czech Republic will not happen soon. So I decided, since July 6, switch to learning English. I signed up for a free online class. Now I'm doing every day tasks and write reports. In the car I listen to "Seven Keys to learning English" in English. And I continue to search for a language partner to practice speaking.

Moje sociální sítě Můj otec byl vojenský muzikant, takže jsme hodně cestoval. Změnil jsem šest škol studoval a žil v Německu a Československu. Vzhledem k tomu, studoval a působil (v armádě), v Lotyšsku a Bělorusku. Takže když jsem se začal hledat na své staré přátele, uvědomil jsem si, že je to možné pouze s pomocí internetu. Když začal rozkvět sociálních sítí, zaznamenané ve všech. V průběhu doby, některé sítě "zvadlých" nakonec jsem zůstal jen tři. Odnoklassniki.ru – zde obsahují velké množství mých bývalých spolužáků, kolegy, kolegy kolem práce. A, samozřejmě, rodina. V přátele Přiznám se pouze ty, které vím osobně. Většina z nich - moji vrstevníci, a někteří dokonce starší. Je to docela nuda sítě. V poslední době, páska byla hodně vládní a vojenské propagandy, což mě přivádí k zuřivosti. Wacky Obrázky urážlivé Ukrajinci, Američané a Evropané, mnoho lží a nenávistí. A moji přátelé jsou "laykayut." Je mi z toho smutno. Vkontakte.ru – toto je můj "Creative-Youth Network." Aktivně používat, začala jsem před třemi lety. Pak jsem se jak na tvůrčí průlom, jsem znovu začal zpívat s kytarou. V umělecké kavárně jsme začali trávit večery v paměti Vladimir Vysockij, Bulat Okudzhava a dalších známých umělců. Prostřednictvím skupiny VKontakte jsme oznámení těchto stran a pozval všem příchozím. Mezi mými přáteli je tu mnoho mladých lidí. Samozřejmě, že jsem se přidat přátele, že každý, kdo se zeptá. Jakékoliv - osobně seznámit, nebo ne, může být v co večer jsme se potkali? Facebook - jsem tu častěji. Většina přátelé - ty, které jsem znám osobně, ale tam jsou "pouze síť." Mám mnoho zahraničních přátel (Američané, Kanaďané, tam je i Francouz). Existují lidé, kteří žili v Rusku, a nyní se do zahraničí. Zde jsem se vždy naučit něco nového a zajímavého.
