So, a week ago, a friend was playing this song (from: this album ) and I recognizedthe artist before any vocals began, mostly from hearing the drums. Of course, they have a very distinctive drum sound...I think I recognized it by the sound of the instrument at least as much as the style (the beginning of the song doesn't seem to me to really have Metallica's "stamp" on it, stylistically speaking)

Now, even though I'm convinced this is one of the best things I ever could have done, I can already feel it slipping away, too quickly. Anyway. Jet lag hasn't completely faded. ⎋
Был такой каламбур в клипе Джери Халивел - надпись Geri's back и ее спина на экране. Моя спина вполне так себе по-человечески загорела, хотя и слегка "облезает" - как выражаются в нашей компании, имеет...уже в районе Каскелена, а на Саина от горечи и першения в горле хочется вывезти из Алматы всех детей и беременных женщин. Сижу, вновь подавленный аллергией, и I still got sand in my shoes (c)
.. than I anticipated. A fewlessons, the Bring and Buy Sale, where I brought friends but ending up not buying anything, mostly by sort of accident but was a good gathering and felt a little guilty -one...drive so don’t drink. But last night I wasn’t driving... Tomorrow should bring five lessons in the daytime, if it all happens ok. And I may have a free week-day evening for the first time in ages
Left is right. In is out. Up is down. This is not America. And yet, everyone speaks English. But still, you're the only American, you're the only one with blonde hair and blue eyes, you're the only... Traffic is bizarrely malleable in this town. Saw my first sacred cow to-day, too. Just moseying along the middle of the thoroughfare, traffic streaming around it like a metal and plastic Ganges.
x-posted to Fb/LJ-- I am doing better. Better than I was immediately after surgery, and definitely better than I was at this point in my recovery after my first ACL knee surgery. I have a little bruising...Bell on the way home, either, even though I was really hungry and I begged him to.... Or on any of the days since, come to think of it. Harrumph.
за прошедшие пару дней мне очень понравилось: 1. новая жутко позитивная реклама МТС(которая типа как мюзикл); 2. смотреть как плавает Майкл Фелпс; 3. огромная пористая шоколадка Вернисаж (молочный, с фундуком...очередного фильма про школу; 2. делать пиццу без помидоров (какое-то сухое тесто получается слишком); 3. то, что кот меньше, чем за минуту, сгрыз зарядку для ноута. (но это такая, в целом, ерунда)
One work-week into my India residency and the promised culture shock is still taking its sweet time hitting Your Humble Narrator. Part of this has to do with Hyderabad's relative modernity when compared...whatever traffic laws we grudgingly obey in the Western world are completely and totally disregarded in the Asian subcontinent. Don't believe me? Check it out: "Drive With Patience," indeed.
