Evgeny's notebook entry: Dec 29, 2010 Are you saw a total solar eclipse? Two and a half years ago I lucked out that I visited Novosibirsk when this magnificent natural phenomena was. During the totality the sky was clear. First clouds appeared shortly after the end of totality. I think it's a great luck. I have seen solar corona! Of coarse, I saw it before by means of coronograph, but only during eclipse it such impressive. A few minutes before the totality all sounds around quieten down, solar lights are dimmed, but you see bright sun all the same. Suddenly sun turn into narrow glare crescent. One more time later the crescent disappeared and you can see dark disc surrounded by shining solar corona. Unforgettable.

New Year. New cares. Seventeen days left till New Year. I didn't chose gifts for my family yet. I think the older man became, the more difficult choose the gift for him. The easiest choice is a gift for kid. There is a numerous games, which he wish play. But the gift for adults... Even I don't know what should I wish to receive as a New Year's gift. really strange.

Evgeny's notebook entry: Dec 03, 2010 If you have nothing to talk you should talking about weather. ;) So, today in Moscow is about fifteen degrees of centigrade below zero (five Fahrenheit degrees above zero). The sky overcasted by clouds, but it isn't any precipitation. They forecast snowfall tomorrow. I think snowing and freezing weather is good weather. I believe my child will be ill rarely. Above all to wear warm clothes.

What doesit mean: I've had a red light of the wrist without me even gettin' kissed

Evgeny's notebook entry: Nov 25, 2010 I thought the winter had come! In last Monday snow fell down and remained two day. But yesterday weather changed. The rain has fallen second day. Oh, what weather! The cold water falls from above and slush under feet. I wish the normal winter would come sooner.

Evgeny's notebook entry: Nov 24, 2010 On the last week I have bought the magazine 'Illustrated Science' and have read about time that used on Polar Antarctic stations. There isn't difference, what standard time you will be use, because in Antarctica either polar day or polar night. So, each station use more convenient time. In the magazine the time map was given. It was very interesting. In this connection I remember that I could get to the Antarctica with scientific expedition about ten years ago. I didn't decide to participate in expedition. Later this expedition was canceled because a lick of funding. But now I think that it have been a real chance to do something unusual.

Evgeny's notebook entry: Nov 23, 2010 Last night I have watched a film in English. Unfortunately, I have understand very little. The main problem is, I cannot divide speech into words. Need mo practice.

Culture for children Several weeks ago I have decided to show my little child the Kremlin and the Red Square. The more so because he ask me for it for a long time. We have walked about two hours and have seen many interesting things such as fairy sculptures at Neglinka-river, The Eternal Flame and guard of honor, towers of Kremlin, Saint Basil's Cathedral and many others. But when I ask my child, what him have liked best of all, he have answered "construction site". On the Red Square are being assembling a skating-rink. The work of forklift truck have impressed my son more then best of Moscow's sights.

Why I have registered here? One week ago I create account in italki.com. Why I have done it? Of coarse, I wish to learn English. But why I have decided to learn it here? I can read sufficiently complicated texts in English, including special papers about physics, astronomy and computer science. But when I begin to write in English I have many problems. And speaking English is out of the question. I'm immediately forgetting all English words, if I need to say something in English. So, I think I'm here so as to learning write in English. Therefore I must write something more often then one per week. And may be I can find language partner to speak. But for this I need to solve some technical and organization problems. So leave it to the future. Ok. My plan of action. One record per day at least. Let's go.
