“You may not be the most social or the most stylish but you are yourself.” Aw, that’s pretty deep, I told my friend. I’ll remember this. When did you come up with this? “I didn’t” she said. “It’s the result of a Facebook test.” So now I’m letting myself guided in life by Facebook wisdom. Lame. But, really, at the moment I’m actually trying to figure myself out. It’s pretty strange for a person who is very certain of what she likes not to know what she wants to do in life. But that’s my case. I love art and writing about it but I am sure I don’t want a career teaching art or working in a museum. So, my art history degree will only sweeten my ego. And I’m pretty passionate about politics but unlike my classmates graduating in International Relations I think working in an office at the Ministry of International Affairs would bore me to death. Then again, I have my job as a TV writer. Today, as I’m officially starting my month off, I realized how much I miss that stupid TV office. But I have to admit I’d like something more challenging than writing travel info and documentaries about food plus the occasional snippets on politics. This evening I also had my first class at the Advertising School. It wasn’t bad. Big ideas but also big egos. My question is do I want to be a copywriter for an Ad agency? Or do I want to be a journalist? Or maybe I want something completely different? I just don’t know. Finding the right answer is harder than ever.

Larger than life

Life must be sweet if you’re one of the execs at BMW Russia or working for Moscow’s Mayor! A 6000 square meters billboard in downtown Moscow, complete with life sized cars- that’s what I call oligarchic marketing

I don’t know about kids today (cos I’m an old, old person) but when I was 7 I really liked playing with Lego. I’d go to my friend’s Alex house and together we’d stage some awesome “productions” with our toys. I’m telling you, soaps, telenovelas, thrillers, rom-coms and horrors all together couldn’t match the sheer craziness and magnitude of the twists in our Lego shows. If only we were so full of ideas now.

Imagine how giddy I was when I ran across this video for camera pop band Camphor. The song’s called Castaway and it’s a stop motion animation with…Lego! Y-haaaa!

Protest in style :p

The Umbuster, from Icelandic designer Sruli Recht- the perfect accessory if you’re an anarchist planning to protect yourself from the bullies in the police force.

And, you have to agree it’s much classier than carrying a police baton (“pulan”) like my friend Bubble did, in high school.
