I think your dreams are no more crazy than mine.

Oh, I seriously doubt your dreams could be as much idiotic as mine. This night I learned a new English word. Sadly, I don't remember the word, but I remember the meaning. I'm sure there's no such a word in any Earth language. I was on a ship as a passenger and the pirates were chasing us. Their ship was faster and well armed, ridiculously unhistorical and unrealistic pirate frigate. We had only civilians on board, so there were no chances to fight back. One guy and I were trying to hide somewhere on the ship, because those pirates were after us for some reason I don't remember. That guy told me he knows a place where we can hide well. He showed me the way. There was some strange place somewhere on the lower deck. The entrance was quite unusual for the ship. An iron-barred door. He opened that door with a key. I stepped inside and he immediately locked the door from the outside. I was kinda "What the..?" He said "You 'some strange unknown to me word' me!" He said it like I betrayed him. "You'll die here when they'll come!" He looked triumphant. I was shocked. "But we were friends! What did I do to you?!" And then again he said that weird unknown to me word "You 'the weird word' me!!!" I asked him what the hell that word is supposed to mean and here's the most idiotic part: turned out that word means – "to show someone a lesser TV set than you actually have." I wanted to tell him I have no idea what he's talking about, but then I said to myself "What the hell, this is ridiculous!" and woke up.

You two are great. I have no doubt. When I read about your dreams only one thought bothered me.



"Why do I imagine a little fat white fox all the time?"

[Дерзкий Серхио]

Yeah, we're great. We're completely crazy and quite happy about it. Thank you.
By the way, is it just me or the sign on the picture says “Polar Bear”?

May be author of picture tries to say that if you really see Polar Bear it may mean 'the little fat white fox' too.

Well, nowadays ecology...
You know, polar caps are getting smaller. Maybe polar bears are getting smaller too. Though I'm not a specialist and can't be a hundred percent sure...

[А.М.]

I am not a specialist in ecology and biology too.
But do you know that one of variants of translation 'the little fat white fox' to Russian is 'маленький полный песец'?
May be author of photo means this variant...

[Дерзкий Серхио]

Yeah, I got it. I was just kidding. I like the sign on the picture. I suppose it's an author's nick, but looks crazy enough on the picture of a little fat white fox.

[А.М.]

Yeah, I see. I was kidding too. I just tried to develop this joke...
Sorry, my joke was not a success.
By the way, 'just kidding' and 'no problem' are my favorite phrases after 'Alf'...
He uses their very often and very tasty.

[Дерзкий Серхио]

Your joke was all right. I’m just a little slow sometimes. You're a really kind person if 'no problem’ is your favorite phrase.

Dreams, crazy dreams...
Yesterday I saw a movie. "Inception".
It's the really crazy movie about the really crazy dreams. About three levels dreams. It's kind of... You are asleep and see dream in which you are asleep and see another dream in which you are asleep... etc.
Sure, you can try to watch it in english. But to me it was so difficult to understand even in Russian. I even had to use cognac to make this movie more clear.
If you didn't see this movie yet, I think you should.

[Дерзкий Серхио]

Bad translation I suppose. The movie is not that difficult. Actually it's quite easy to understand. It's more drama than anything else, so it's all about feelings, not about some hidden crazy difficult meaning. I think you should watch it in English.

They could have found a better looking actress (or just better) to play his dead wife...

I watched another movie.... with Van Damme, where he was a fighter, and a master was preparing him for important battle. And when he was almost ready, sensei brought him to the bar, where he drank a lot of alcohol. Then he provoked a conflict with some local bastards, and drunk Van Damme kicked their asses. The master looked at this with satisfaction, and said: Now you are ready!
And i think, if you'll watch that film with cognac in english, you will be ready too... I mean your english.

[А.М.]

I think you should watch it in English.

And i think, if you'll watch that film with cognac in english, you will ready too...

Now, I think I could. But I think I need not a lot of cognac...

They could have found a better looking actress to play his dead wife...

How can I say in English "Любовь зла..."?
I mean DiCaprio.

[Дерзкий Серхио]

I think they should have, because I don't remember her at all. No face, no name, just nothing. Or maybe they meant it like she's not important, like it's about him, not about her or anyone else.

And i think, if you'll watch that film with cognac in english, you will be ready too... I mean your english.

Now that's definitely not a kids method.
