Flow

11.14 p.m. 
Have spent several days in nothingness. This is the first time in my life when I simply contemplate my life, see the way it flows, without feeling guilt for no action, without any need to feel or do anything.
Yesterday (well, tecnically, today) did the bridges with Rishab. I think we did all of them! It [...]

Radiance

00.53 a.m. 
This is so curious to observe; I’ve just made a new friend, Samira; just got a text message from her. It’s so bizzare, to register a moment when you are meeting someone new. I never know what new people will mean in my life; I never know who of them will come and go, [...]

XMas (non-Orthodox)

03.14 a.m. 
This was a beautiful Christmas Eve. Elisa came and brought her American friend, Alisia, from New Jersey; Lisa also came. Irina and I made some Russian food and international drinks. Now I am typing this and listening to Furdado’s excellent album. I have an absolutely amazing feeling of clarity, simplicity, and purity. As if [...]

00.59 a.m. 
Listening to Sigur Ros, (   ), right now; it was the first album I heard of theirs, in sunny and misty London-Oxford commuting days, three? four? years ago. I think I should probably listen to it more often. It reminds me of who I am. It truly reminds me, of who I truly am; [...]

SnowPatrol:LightUp

Pabammmm! I’m back from Snow Patrol gig in SECC. It’s one of those things: all the tickets sold out, but you know that you’ll get one. You just know that it’ll happen, and you let it go. And it happens, you get one. (Elisa’s magic in my case. )
So: what it was like.
Before even the concert [...]

Download this present?

Alas… I mean… Hurrah. Printed out Econometrics; avoid looking at it. Need to let it go. It doesn’t matter. What came out of the printer, will go to the office. No scrutiny. The electronic copy sent in already anyway.
 Sitting in the big cold deep-blue-coloured lab L (Lovely Lab L) in Adam Smith. Just a couple of [...]

GlassBeads

Just back from Edinburgh (Dun Eideann); left a fortune in Fopp there; Beth Orton now in my speakers; mellow.

Went with Lisa and Eva; had wonderful time. The city is very beautiful; reminds me of North England rather than Scotland though… It has some [...]

People and clouds

Awesome. I love the spread of the amount of hours I sleep:
Tue/Wed: 2.
Wed/Thu: 12.
Thu/today: 6.
And I like the pattern!
Now we are up to Econometrics Assignment. ‘What is happening basically’ is that we are running a regression of stock returns on some funny data (a very, very bad fit of the model; of course you know [...]

Kalispera

I’m falling… No, I’m hurling myself in and out of love! With… people and the flow (speedy) of life. I have so much energy, I can’t sleep. Too much coffee, too little food, perhaps. Or maybe I spent a bit more time with Vladimiros than I should have, and the enormous energy has been pumped [...]

Right.

So perhaps it’s time I introduced myself. I am Tatiana (Ana, Tania, Tat, Tatie, and all the funny names they’ve tried to call me here), I am from… I think it was… Siberia, Russian Federation, under the rule of the Terrible Mr Putin (as seen here), the grey industrial city called Novosibirsk, third largest after [...]
