Suits Suits is an American serial whose plot is about a law firm. The two main characters are men. Harvey Specter is an excellent lawyer. He's looking for a new employee who would help him in his cases. His astounding secretary (the most complex, amusing and interesting character in the entire serial) let a young drug dealer, running away from his enemies, enter the Harvey's office. In this way, Harvey meets Mike and hires him. But why does the best lawyer illegaly help a young offender? Well, Mike isn't a primitive youth without the education. In fact, he's a genius. He has a photographic memory and he loves the law. He's clever and ingenious. The only problem is that he has no degree and he can't attend Harvard - the only university that has a contract with the mentioned law firm. Thus far, they has produced 5 seasons and the fans are waiting for the next one with impatience because the last episode has left us in suspense. I higly recommend it to everybody. What convinced me to this serial was the colourful characters, funny dialogues and fast-flowing action. And of course, men in the suits!

A story from my trip to Spain (part one) Sevilla in August. If you don't know yet that this city is the hottest point in Europe, you do know now! My friend and I used to spend the afternoons in a shopping mall where we had an air conditioning system and a restroom (in our travel dictionary the restroom equalled a socket, so we could feed our dead batteries in cell phones with the energy). We sightsaw in the morning and in the mid-afternoon. Normally, we started our day at 9 am. Our bedroom was located on a beach. In fact, it was a small space covered with the sand. The pavement was alongside this beach so everybody could see us. However, it didn't matter, we managed to get use to it during months of being homeless. Nevertheless, in Sevilla we had a lot of adventures. Some were funny, the others - not necessarily. I'll focus on the brightsides. I opened my heavy eyelids. What could wake me up so early?! I heard the reason before I saw it. The droning/whirring(?) of engine was more and more annoying. Finally, when my visual acuity improved, I caught what the engine belonged to. A small yellow boat with two men on the board was about three metres from our sleeping bags. The men didn't pay even the slightest attention to us. They were from some kind of service because they were cleaning the beach. Although they didn't seem to be unfriendly, I woke up my friend and I told her that we should have gone. Like always, at the beginning she was honing how stupid my behaviour was and how early in the morning I woke her up, but finally she packed her stuff up and we went to take a shower. Of course, we hadn't taken a real shower since almost three weeks. We had a bad luck with the Spanish hosts on the south and there was no real beach with douches. So we used a wash-hand basin to wash our whole bodies. It didn't work very well, to be honest. I wanted to die because I could see how dirty my skin was. A dirt was so obstinate that the standard set (a soap plus water) failed trying to remove it. But not so refreshing shower in washbasin was still better than not washing ourselves at all...

Might the science be interesting? A few days ago one of my favourite youtubers added a new video. I have to highlight that he's a physicist and a science buff. That's why he always pays attention to the facts and resources. The title was encouraging - "A short movie about the truth and the false". But in fact this movie lasts one hour and forty minutes! He didn't accustom his followers to such long materials. However, I decided to watch 10 minutes of this video every day until I end. Of course, it didn't work out because it was so compelling I swallowed the whole movie at once. The main goal of this video was convincing us to question our own statements. The youtuber advises to ask ourselves about which kind of argument would make change our opinion in any case. If there is no argument which could do that, our statement isn't objective, is rather a belief. Another important thing is to search for the informations in the objective and scientific materials: from universities, scholarly papers or English wikipedia which is the best encyclopedia in the world. The youtuber shows us which obstacles stand on our way to seperate truth from false. He tells about the errors in understanding process, the ignorance about a topic and the inability to evaluate resources. When he explains what these phenomenons consist in, he advises how to avoid them. There's also a part devoted to a manipulation and a propaganda in the media (and not only there). It took 6 months to make this material but it was definitely worthwhiling! It's both entertaining and informative and it contains a lot of funny examples and exercises, for instance to point out which of the statements is true, false and manipulated. I'm glad not everything in the Internet is just a trash and some people really care about our development.

So scatty! Today, I went for a walk with my dog - Tiger. He was squeaking for a very long time until I did myself up and I leashed and bemuzzled him. I didn't want to spend more time at home looking for my keys becuase he was impatient so I grabbed my mum's keys which already were in a lock of the door. Our walk lasted over one hour because I like exploring new places. Today, I decided to go by some gritty path in a small forest. When we went back I had to open a door of our staircase. I put my hand in the pocket to take the keys but... it was empty. For a moment I was terrified. Then, I tried to relax myself and think it over. I live on the first floor so I looked through the pane with a hope that accidentally I had left my keys in the lock. But I didn't see them. I decided to retrace the begining of my way. I went back to a meadow where I always start my walks with my dog. However, I wasn't able to find any sign of the keys among bushes. It was completely hopeless. Besides, I had to go back and check a mum's car because in the bunch of keys there was the one to the car. If somebody had found it on the parking, they could have opened the car and... I prefered not to think about it. I was sure my mother would kill me! I was on my way home when I saw her standing on the pavement. She seemed to be very serious. But in my head I had only one question: "Do you have your keys!?" - I exclaimed. "Yes. You left them in the door on the exterior. I worried where you were so much time and I wanted to go to a shop, but I noticed you had taken my bunch of keys. I tried to open the door with yours, but I couldn't due to the key on the other side of the door. So I had to leave the flat through the window!". My relief was enormous but I can't even compare it with my gale of laughter when I thought about my mother jumping through the window like a rebel teenager... (I know I wrote that I checked if I had left the keys in the lock, and I did but I never noticed it. I'm so scatty!).

Call in one's chit/chits - what does it mean? I went into this phrase in the serial Suits. This was a full sentence: Are you asking as a friend or are you calling in a chit? I couldn't find any good explanation what it means. Anybody knows?

How should I use this word? I've found in a dictionary that "buy-in" can mean permission, acceptance and so on. Could you explain me in which context it can be used? I'm not sure. Thank you in advance!
