The school choir raises money for trips across the country. The event is called a fundraiser car wash, and this particular one is organized by the Langley School choristers. For car owners, this is not just a wash, but a way to donate money to a good cause, not just giving it away, but letting the kids earn it. Most of these kids live in homes worth millions of dollars (in our area, and especially in the Great Falls area where this photo was taken, mostly such; in Moscow, this would be roughly equivalent to the Rublyovka level)

An unimaginably complex concept in Russia. However, children of millionaires also rarely go to work as waiters, but in the states, it’s quite common.

Three and a half years into living in the USA, my family has a debate at half past one in the morning about how to properly write – “in a thousand cinemas” or “in a thousand cinema”. Well, if the answer seems obvious, replace “cinemas” with “kilometers”. Is it “a thousand kilometers from Moscow” or “in a thousand kilometers from Moscow”?

very cool. I’ve attached some photos, the rest are on Instagram.

P.S. There’s another similar one, but his work is not as elegant or conceptually strong https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzij4nIILja/

The temporary cat is getting used to us

It’s so rare for me to come across a piano in my life that it’s hard to imagine someone more awkward than me, especially when people are walking around with cameras 🙂 But being allowed to rehearse in a church, with a great instrument and wonderful acoustics in the hall – that’s priceless. This is my third time here (practically next door, Nadya is coaching volleyball players, and I’m waiting for her), and it was only today that I found a local gentleman who I asked after the fact “is it okay that I am using your instrument?”. “Just don’t forget to close it, but of course, play to your heart’s content,” the gentleman replied. In another church, I found several pianos in various rooms, and there was simply no one to ask for permission from either.

In the video – a snippet from Einaudi’s Monday. A very beautiful piece. Overall, it is technically easy, as is much of Einaudi’s work.

Marketing is asking for help)

P.S. didn’t ask, and I didn’t take the bottle. Everything broke down after all

“Meduza” does not mention that an idiot slashed a painting at the Centre Pompidou, and the painting is this one, Manifestation 3, with such red stripes, from 1967. The guy decorated subways and various external objects with similar vertical stripes. For several decades, these stripes appeared unchanged in various contexts and on different surfaces.

An interesting creation. Who is this?

Watched this short film and the movie “Stranger than Fiction” back to back. Both are simply fabulous (and share a common theme)
