Oh, hiya Weaver. What are you doing here? Love those Russian books 'Oh, those Russians' (spot the song). That old theatre looks wonderful. Being a thespian myself. Or a past it one. I'd love to visit Moscow and see the much talked about railway stations. Willow here too. How come we've not bumped into each other before?BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-57145948141647168562009-08-18T22:00:20.081+01:002009-08-18T22:00:20.081+01:00Yip, Sara, made me even more crazy! :)Yip, Sara, made me even more crazy! :)Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-14327310102873364402009-08-18T17:28:15.044+01:002009-08-18T17:28:15.044+01:00WOW - that flu really affected you didn't it?!...WOW - that flu really affected you didn't it?!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729233060266402303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-63891239771817950982009-08-18T00:24:03.903+01:002009-08-18T00:24:03.903+01:00I love ruined buildings and always pull in and tre...I love ruined buildings and always pull in and trek across fields when I see one from the car.Found an old brass bedtime candlesick in the last one -deadly.As for chocolate inspiration,I wonder where your songs really spring from and where do you dig to perform them so well?Totalfeckineejithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352708391465031655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012340126991815859.post-90218825902602510832009-08-17T20:07:47.649+01:002009-08-17T20:07:47.649+01:00That's some hefty inspiration!...

Inspirational, for sure! <br /><br />I've had a few Russian students in my classes and am always thrilled to read their writing. (I save correcting theirs for the last as an educational dessert of sorts.) They have a poetic nature to just about every form of writing that I've assigned. Amazing. <br /><br />Ah, the reason sound may be so inspirational to you is that the hearing mechanism is quite intricate in that it involves the physiological as well as the psychological. Here's a book that may interest some of you: <br /><br />Mithen, Steven. The Singing Neanderthals: The Origins of Music, Language, <br />Mind, and Body.

Alcohol makes me too goofy. A few bloggers I know can attest to that.<br /><br />I think moderation is the key. A drop of this or that to stir the muse and spur the creativity is a good thing. <br /><br />I think some of the most beautiful things must be in Russia. It does look like a place I would love to see. Have you seen the film, "Russian Ark"?

I am a total hypocrite about graffiti I often admire it elsewhere or in books and hate it in my neighbourhood ,though in my defence the local graffiti is shite, like total moronic shite really poorly executed! Even that is a ridiculous statement what am I, a graffiti snob?

Lovely photos of what I still find it hard not to call Leningrad (went there often in the old days - it was cheap).
