Беседуют англичанин, француз и русский. Англичанин:
- У нас произношение трудное. Мы говорим "Инаф", а пишем "Enough".
Француз:
- О-ля-ля, у нас-то как сложно! Мы говорим "Бордо" а пишем "Bordeaux".
Русский:
- Да это всё пустяки. Мы говорим: "Чё?", а пишем: "Повторите, пожалуйста".

[хроники лемура]

Я сегодня ходила на интервью. Решила, чтобы выглядеть business-like, надеть каблуки. О КАК ЖЕ Я ПОЖАЛЕЛА. зимой! больше! никогда!
Перемещалась по улице я нормально, но перед каждым небольшим спуском/подъемом тормозила, оглядывалась, хваталась за ближайшего мужчину и просила мне помочь Ненуачо, норм.

Возможно, нашла работку. Зарплата не очень большая, но — особенно после прошлой работы — все очень спокойно и в разы легче. За такую работу я бы тоже больше денег не стала платить))) Может, и соглашусь))) Года на два-три хватит, а дальше у меня будет "3 years of relevant experience" и можно будет искать что-нибудь получше))

И еще холодно так сегодня! И у нас тут прямо метель.

Теперь два дня отдыха, надо закончить разбор шкафов, а то он затянулся уже на две недели)))

поиграла сегодня у подруги в гостях, теперь ужасно хочу синтезатор!
играли музыку из Звездных войн, Гарри Поттера, классическую К Элизе, которую я до сих пор помню наизусть *___*

посмотрела на авито, есть за 4 тысячи........ брать или не брать, вот в чем вопрос. вроде бы и денег лишних сейчас нет, а вроде бы и ХОЧЕТСЯ!

[хроники лемура]

- в понедельник первое собеседование (нормальное место, зп пониже, чем хотела, но достаточная, чтобы я всерьез рассмотрела)
- завтра !может быть! я встречусь с "мужчиной моей мечты", аххаха, то есть с чуваком, которого полтора года я знаю только по сообщениям и скайпам. тьфу-тьфу-тьфу.
- а еще завтра учу подругу играть на пианино. и сама заодно поиграю, специально откопала ноты от Доктора Кто и Гарри Поттера))
- иду краситься! скучала по ровному яркому рыжему цвету, а тут вот пора, раз выхожу в люди))

- получила мешок мелочевки для посткроссинга и скрапбукинга с Али... оказалось, если у посылки нет трекера типа RM135505965CN, извещение в почтовый ящик не приносят, надо спрашивать прямо на почте... вот это новость к счастью, мой второй пакетик нашелся.

в целом жизнь хороша! только надо вспоминать, как это — просыпаться в 6 утра

Появилась на участке новенькая девочка. Симпатичная, ростом около полутора метров (возможно важно).

Сразу стала центром внимания для всех молодых парней, то один придет поздороваться, то другой заскочит печеньками угостить, а тут явился к ней Федор, не по-годам серьезный менеджер нашего отделения.

Сразу представился, мол, "Меня Федор звать, а тебя? " Девочка привычно скокетничала: "А ты отгадай!" и улыбается, глазки ему строит.

Не знала несчастная, что Феде её имя понадобилось по работе, а не забавы ради.

Федор нахмурил брови и ушел обратно в свою каморку. вернулся он через пару минут с бейджем "Румпельштицхен", и заявил, что ни при каких обстоятельствах замене бейдж не подлежит и, т.к. является частью рабочей формы, отсутствие его карается штрафом.

фильмы-сериалы 2016

заново напишу, что успела посмотреть в 2016)))

Фильмы:

1-6

1. The Martian / Марсианин, книга лучше, но и экранизация получилась вполне себе норм.
2. Winter's Tale / Любовь сквозь время, нормальный такой зимний фильм про чудо-сказку и любовь. Колин Фаррелл все делает лучше.
3. Outbreak / Эпидемия, классика фильмов-катастроф с разводом ГГ, заговорщиками-военными и чудесным спасением в последнюю секунду, но каст очень хороший)
4. San Andreas / Разлом Сан-Андреас, классический фильм-катастрофа для любителей.
5. Jupiter Ascending / Восхождение Юпитера, это действительно Вачовски? Сценарий слабоват, мягко говоря. Но красиво!! Главная цитата всего фильма: "I'm not your damn mother!!"
6. Jane Eyre / Джен Эйр, 2011 наконец-то посмотрела на Фассбендера с Васиковской. Фильм в целом оставил равнодушным, я как-то Бронте не очень.

Сериалы:

1-3

1. Sherlock: The Abominable Bride
2. Downton Abbey / 1-2 сезоны
3. And Then There Were None
Вот этот мини-сериал по книге "Десять негритят" прямо очень, ОЧЕНЬ понравился! Какой каст! Красиво снято, хорошо играют, интересно смотреть,, даже если знаешь концовку (я читала давно и деталей не помнила). До конца была уверена, что Веру играет Эми Экер, но нет — незнакомая австралийская актриса, справилась отлично. Эйдан Тёрнер!!! Я понимаю, что банальна со своими восторгами по его поводу, но он правда там невозможно прекрасен. Рекомендую три часа хорошего британского телевидения)))

Под вышивку XDD
я не могу смотреть ничего нового, когда вышиваю, на экран глядеть почти не получается. Поэтому пересматриваю старое-любимое.
1. The Fellowship of the Ring
2. The Two Towers
3. The Return of the King
4. Love Actually
5. X-Men 2000

fem!Гарри, путешествие в прошлое))

оооо какой фанфик я прочитала!

Я очень люблю истории про попаданок во вселенную ГП, особенно если это времена Мародеров, Эйлин или еще раньше. Ну вот люблю, ничего не могу поделать. Это такое порно для души)) Плюс в таких текстах зачастую хорошо раскрывается не известная нам по канону сторона волшебного мира — гильдии мастеров (а также воров/убийц/шпионов XD ), Лютный переулок, чистокровные обычаи и т.п.

И вот очередная, не побоюсь этого слова, жемчужина жанра: «Цветок асфоделя». Я уже поняла, что и на фикбуке можно найти прекрасное, если очень-очень-очень долго рыться среди, хм. Не жемчужин

Да, про фик. Отличие его в том, что ГГ — Гарри Поттер aka леди Блэк)) Да, изначально девочка. Никаких попаданцев.
Гарри в возрасте где-то лет сорока проводит ритуал и отдает свою жизнь за жизнь не рожденного еще второго ребенка Малфоев. Но у Смерти свои планы, и та отправляет Гарри в 1966 год в чем мама родила. Без документов, палочки, сейфов в банке; все, что у нее есть, — знания в том числе по артефакторике (кстати, артефакторика как родовой дар Поттеров — это канон? фанон? часто встречаю) и, аххаха, дар некроманта. Ну и жизненный опыт, приобретенный за двадцать не самых простых лет после Победы.

Текст написан хорошо, но читать его лучше как полуориджинал. Героиня — не совсем мэрисью; сейфы, драконы и артефакты не падают ей под ноги по мановению руки, однако это именно то, что называют в ворнингах "сильный Гарри". Умная взрослая женщина, которая постепенно встает на ноги, зарабатывая себе имя, и не может не вмешаться в происходящее (а там как раз Темный Лорд набирает себе последователей из поколения Беллатрикс, Люциуса, Северуса; ну и Дамблдор тоже в Орден присматривает кадры).

Волшебный мир!! Без крайностей, но очень аккуратно и правдоподобно описано все: Лютный переулок, чистокровные фамилии, Хогвартс и преподавание в нем, работа с артефактами и проклятиями, Мунго!! Про Мунго отдельно: в последнее время из второстепенных персонажей очень полюбился мне целитель Сметвик! Его довольно часто прописывают в попаданческих фиках на Фикбуке, но вообще его ужасно мало. А здесь он выписан очень ярко, прям вот влюбилась в персонажа))) «— Артефактор Поттер!!» «— Целитель Сметвик!!» Мимими.

100% пойдет в мою копилку хороших текстов.

Test Your Skills, 2 раунд

О первом раунде этого видеоконтеста я писала здесь. Наконец-то вернулись мои записи, и можно написать про второй))
Создала и ведет его виддер pingvy вместе с themetamorphosis.

Тема второго раунда: Chemistry. Правила там довольно длинные: есть лист элементов, которые можно использовать (плач, танец, смех, стекло и т.д.), их нужно смешать и взболтать, так скажем))). Свободы здесь больше, чем в первом раунде, потому и ролики более разнообразные. Выкладываю десятку лучших по баллам видео, а все результаты здесь (плейлист всех работ, но не по оценкам, тут).

+7

осторожно, в этом клипе прям много кровищи и прочего малоприятного. но сам по себе он неплохой)))

соулмейты и суфражистки

На днях, досмотрев второй сезон Downton Abbey, пошла на AO3 искать фанфиков про Ричарда Карлайла (обожэ но ведь он же такой Ретт Батлер, я прямо не могу!! вот только Мэри не Скарлетт))), а потом и вообще по сериалу.

Нашла прекрасное про Сибил: «Hollowing Stone».

Все три сестры Кроули родились с т.н. soulmark. У Сибил это, понятное дело, Том, у Мэри — Мэтью. Вот только в высшем обществе о soulmarks стараются не говорить и не принимать в расчет, потому что это, естественно, с их укладом жизни никак не сочетается.

“It’s not the first time, y’know,” Branson says eventually. “The family I used to work for, in Dublin, they had a maiden aunt they never spoke of. She shared a mark with a housemaid.”

Хотя в целом soulmate-AU я считаю некоторым... читерством, в этом тексте развитие отношений прописано очень хорошо, неторопливо. Хотя на этот раз бедному Брэнсону не пришлось ждать 7 лет Очень интересно читать о том, как Сибил с детства ищет информацию о soulmarks везде, где только может; как Мэри изо всех сил сопротивляется факту, что они связаны с Мэтью (потому что это Мэри!).

Но еще интересней — остальная жизнь Сибил. Здесь она активно участвует в суфражистском "кружке" и затаскивает туда и Мэри; едет учиться на медсестру еще до войны и пытается поступить медицинский колледж. Очень хорошо прописаны суфражистки в целом, а также отношение Сибил к тому миру, который ей придется оставить.

Еще одно огромное достоинство — дружба Сибил с Мэри и Мэтью, да и отношения Мэри/Мэтью прям ащащащщ.
Метки основаны на картах Таро

В общем, отличный текст)) Советую, если вдруг кому хочется гета по Downton Abbey))

@темы: рекомендую, сериалы, фанфикшен

может быть сделаю!

365 questions challenge

Days 1-8

Day 1: List all the things you want to accomplish this year.
Перечислите все, чего хотите достигнуть в этом году.
Все планы/цели сюда, конечно, не вписать, нооооо:
- похудеть килограмм на 10, можно больше XD
- найти работу с определенной зарплатой в сфере секретарей/ПА.
- съездить за границу!
- вышить все, что запланировано и даже больше)) у меня конкретная цель: минимум 1200 крестиков в неделю)))
- отложить 50% суммы, необходимой для ремонта будущей квартиры
- свидания? бойфренд? секс? короче, хоть какое-то продвижение в этой сфере XDD
- начать учить третий язык! (скорее всего, французский)

Как-то так)) Все достижимо.

Day 2: What is the best way to motivate yourself?
В прошлом году я наконец поняла, что больше всего меня мотивирует признание. Во-первых, лайки и комментарии - к моим фотографиям, вышивкам. Конечно, вышиваю я не столько ради лайков, сколько потому, что у меня это получается, да и успокаивает; но вот фотографирую я именно для того, чтобы потом похвастаться. Поэтому эти два хобби, одно из которых я начала в 2014, а второе в 2015, - думаю, останутся со мной надолго))
Во-вторых, признание окружающих. На прошлой работе у меня этого было вдоволь — и начальство было щедро на похвалу, и преподаватели тоже не жалели доброго слова. Поэтому, хотя я и не очень-то любила то, чем занималась, продержалась там год. С другой стороны, в том числе поэтому я и ушла — поняла, что жажда чужого одобрения увела меня в сильный-сильный перекос. В любом случае, сейчас я потихоньку выравниваю это дело.
А вот самопоощрение на меня не действует И материальное благополучие, если говорить о работе, тоже не самый главный фактор; да, я хочу зарабатывать достаточно, чтобы чувствовать себя свободно, но даже ради зп в пять раз больше, чем на прошлом месте, я не стану работать там, где меня не ценят XD

Day 3: List 6 things that you learned from last year. How will any of this help you in 2015?
Шесть! Господи ты боже мой.
- знакомые — не равны друзьям.
- а шумные вечеринки не заменяют посиделки с любимыми людьми. в новом году постараюсь работать над качеством общения — вместо количества.
- люди очень редко меняются к лучшему, особенно ради других людей (каждый год я это заново учу).
- я окончательно поняла, что работать мне надо среди людей. ищу соответственную работу
- даже маленькое свершение (законченная вышивка на сотню крестиков, разбор шкафа и т.д.) невероятно поднимает самооценку. больше, больше планов в новом году — но маленьких, а не громадных и невыполнимых.
- нужно быть благодарнее по отношению к родителям.

Day 4: Why is friendship important?
Вот я в прошлом году еще поняла: дружба важна даже не столько потому, что помогает против одиночества, а потому что мне (и многим, многим) нужны люди, которые скажут: "слушай, давай-ка выбирайся из трясины самосожаления".

Day 5: Why is love important?
Просто положу сюда цитату Лиама Нисона, которую я сегодня прочитала. Потому что — да.


Day 6: Is there a reason for everything that happens?
Я в это верю всей душой. Нет, я признаю случайности и не согласна, что все в нашей жизни "предначертано"; но все, что происходит, случается не просто так. Эммм. Да.

Day 7: List at least 5 things you like about yourself.
..............................терпеть не могу эти задания. Ну ладно, я:
- моментально разбираюсь во всем, что мне нужно понять/научиться делать.
- в целом люблю людей и быстро прощаю обиды.
- люблю животных! разве это не мило?
- если мне что-то нравится делать, эту страсть не задушить ничем.
- улыбка у меня добрая и голос приятный!

Day 8: List 2 things you dislike about yourself. How can you improve upon these flaws?
- характер. То, что называют short temper. Вечно я на эмоциях натворю чего-нибудь, а потом жалею. Когда меня несет — это все, прячьтесь. Как только над этим работать.... считать до десяти? Медитировать? Взвешивать слова и мессэджи?
- выше уже писала — я поняла, что слишком сильно завишу от других людей. Причем от всех вокруг. Буду учиться искать только своего собственного одобрения, и не стараться понравиться всем.

Day 9: What gets you up in the morning?
Ни-че-го. И это проблема ))

Day 10: For those who are feeling down, and it can include yourself, tell them why life is genuinely amazing.
Товарищи! Люди! В каждом дне есть чуть-чуть, но красоты и чуда, надо только посмотреть вокруг!

Day 11: Are you an optimist? Why or why not?
100% оптимист, потому что даже когда жизнь — дерьмо, все равно над нами сияют звезды, только нужно поднять голову к небу Ну в общем, если серьезно, то даже когда все плохо, остается надежда на лучшее. И шанс что-то исправить.

Day 12: What are the pros for being positive? The cons?
Ну понятно, что позитивный настрой дает силы в самой тяжелой ситуации найти выход, а не метаться и биться головой об стены. С другой стороны, бывает, что за вечным позитивом скрываются серьезные проблемы, о которых старательно не думаешь.

Day 13: What are the pros for being pessimistic? The cons?
Нет ничего хорошего в том, чтобы быть пессимистом! И для здоровья это тоже вредно

Day 14: For the past 2 days, you have discussed why it is bad or good to be positive or pessimistic. Is it better to be positive or pessimistic?
