| | Friday, January 11th, 2019 10:52 am - Мои размышления... fedor_010 Каждую свою свободную минуту я посвящаю приятным размышлениям о женщинах — об этих чудесных созданиях природы. И даже сейчас, идя на работу, обгаженный глупыми птицами, я предавался этому приятному занятию — размышлению о женщинах.Если я скажу, что все женщины разные, то этим я ничего не скажу. Но тем не менее все женщины действительно разные и ой, какие разные! Из огромного количества брюнеток, блондинок, шатенок и рыжих я всегда выбираю женщин более старшего, чаще всего, предпенсионного возраста.Под пудрой благочестия и стыда скрываются такие никем нераскрытые Лолиты и Клеопатры, что дух захватывает!А нахожу я эти ягодки разврата, конечно, в интернете, где их, как кур нерезаных!В отличии от моих ровесниц, с дамами этого нежного возраста я не комплексую и чувствую себя Аполлоном.С ними я обсуждаю пенсионную реформу, поведение их внуков, критикую нашу отечественную медицину и многое-многое другое.Как любовник, надо признаться, я совсем не ураган и даже не майский ветерок, и здесь я реально смотрю на свои скромные возможности в этом плане. Но я беру другим: свои физические немощи я компенсирую своим высоким интеллектом и грамотным психологическим подходом к этой возрастной категории. Уже на втором свидании они теряют от меня головы и предлагают мне свою руку, сердце и жилплощать. В их разбитых сердцах, я навсегда остаюсь розовой мечтой.Так за своими размышлениями о женщинах я не заметил, как подошёл к охраняемому мной объекту «Вагонное депо».

Ещё раз полюбовавшись на себя в зеркало, я повесил сумку на плечо и переступил порог нашей трёхкомнатной квартиры.Морозное январское утро дыхнуло на меня не только прохладной свежестью, но и неприятным запахом забитого в новогодние праздники мусоропровода.Выйдя из подъезда своей девятиэтажки, я засмотрелся на высокий тополь, весь облепленный крикливыми воронами. «Вот падлы, не дадут матери поспать!» - подумал я, подошёл к дереву и громко свистнул.Напуганные моим свистом вороны, в одно мгновение вспорхнули с дерева, а на мою голову посыпался, сбитый ими с ветвей, снег и целый килограмм птичьего помёта. Мои шапка и бушлат приобрели ужаснейший вид. «Вот твари безмозглые!» - подумал я и зашагал к вагонному депо, в котором работал охранником.- Ну, Федька, ты и остолоп! - услышал я вслед себе неприятный голос отца, кричащего мне из открытого окна.( Read more...Collapse ) (comment on this) Tuesday, January 8th, 2019 8:29 pm - О себе fedor_010 При росте метр шестьдесят и весе пятьдесят пять килограммов я нисколько не комплексую и считаю, что в меня можно не только влюбиться, но и потерять от любви ко мне голову. А мои очки с толстыми линзами только подчеркивают мою самобытность и неповторимость.А ещё я люблю писать стихи, как в свободное время, так и на службе. И хотя по этому поводу у меня было несколько неприятных моментов на службе, я так и не смог отказаться от этого увлекательнейшего занятия, приносящего мне истинное удовольствие.Почему я пошёл работать в ЧОП охранником?Скорее всего в выборе профессии не последнюю роль сыграло «непыльность» данной специальности и всякое исключение физического труда на данном поприще. Поэтому сразу же после окончания юридического факультета геологоразведочного колледжа, я не задумываясь махнул в частные охранники.А еще хочу признаться тебе, читатель, что я заядлый курильщик со стажем. И как бы отец не «бился» с моей пагубной привычкой, надо сказать, что он это сражение проиграл с треском. И теперь две пачки никотиновой отравы в сутки — для меня является нормой.А зовут меня, мой дорогой читатель, Пугайло Фёдор Львович.

It's called Hanging On, and it's available from iTunes and Amazon. I recommend it! Nothing special perhaps, but a nice piece of bouncy, Indie-style rock. A good start.

Beneath the cut is a-ha's appearance on the 1988 Royal Variety Performance in the UK. I was annoyed with myself for not recording it at the time. Only took twenty-three years to find it again!It's a mimed performance, as such things always seemed to be back then, but I don't think you'll mind that when you're watching it.( Click for tuxedos and bouncing...Collapse ) (4 comments | comment on this) Sunday, February 6th, 2011 3:00 pm - West of the Moon 2011 a-ha fan calendar - Order now! romanglass The West of the Moon 2011 a-ha fan calendar is now available to order!ORDER HERE!Here is an interior page preview:This is a weekly desk calendar, NOT a 12-month wall calendar. Please be sure this is what you want before deciding whether to buy - Lulu.com doesn't do returns or exchanges unless something is faulty. Because we missed January due to production delays, we added in January 2012 so that everyone could have the January facts and more photos :-) As always, this is a non-profit product, you pay what it costs Lulu.com to print and ship to you. Thanks to everyone involved, and for all members' support and patience! Let us know what you think of this year's calendar! (comment on this) Sunday, January 30th, 2011 6:41 pm - probably only interesting to me ;-) romanglass Some of you may already know about this, I'm working with some friends on an a-ha calendar for 2011 - and before you say it, yes it is late, and no it isn't ready yet ;-) Anyway, we started making these calendars back on the old official a-ha forum in 2006, and the first version was a weekly desk calendar. The date squares were large enough to include room for facts and information about the band and the guys' solo projects, and at that time we collected quite a lot of data about their career(s). This year we're using the weekly desk calendar format again for the first time since then, and we decided not only to include the major historical facts, but also all live concert dates as well :-) Since so much data was collected last time around, we only had to update for the past few years, and add the concerts. Little did I realize beforehand that there were altogether 688+ concerts to add in...!When all that data was put together in day-book form, it was kind of fun to see how certain dates seemed to be history-heavy. With a 25 year career, and only 365 days in a year, there were bound to be some interesting overlaps. For example the guys received awards at the Spellemanns on two different January 24ths - in 1987 and 2009, respectively. Also there are some dates where a-ha had two releases:March 14 - 'Stay On These Roads' and 'Shapes That Go Together' (Magne also released 'Kryptonite' on this date)March 24 - 'Train of Thought' and 'How Can I Sleep With Your Voice In My Head'September 21 - 'The Sun Never Shone That Day' and 'Nothing Is Keeping You Here'October 28 - 'Hunting High and Low' and 'Birthright'Even more interesting is the live concert breakdown. a-ha's most-performed date is November 11. They played six concerts on that date over the years! Second most-performed date is November 25 with five a-ha concerts on that date. If you add in solo shows, the most-played dates are September 15 and November 1 (Magne's birthday ;-)) with six concerts each. There are some dates with five concerts each also (a-ha and solo):June 4June 5October 28November 3November 14December 4December 7However overall the most interesting concert date IMO is February 1: not only did a-ha play two concerts on that date, but it is the only date on which all three guys have played full solo gigs as well. Morten, Savoy and Apparatjik have all had gigs on February 1. Very cool. (ok, yes, you could say the 'alone together' concerts count for that distinction, but I say they don't - they were one concert/event on each of those nights, not three separate full gigs on those nights, that's my story and I am sticking to it!)Yeah, probably this stuff isn't interesting to anyone but me :-) Anyway, the calendar will be ready hopefully this week, and I'll post a link here in case anyone is interested!

They did run a weekly picture strip throughout 1986 devoted to "The Story So Far" for a number of pop groups, and a-ha were covered in that one week. I know I had it, so if it ever comes to light, I'll post it here! In the meantime, here are the last few interviews and posters. Clickable thumbnails, as before.( The wayback machine...Collapse ) (2 comments | comment on this) Sunday, December 19th, 2010 5:55 pm - Back to the 80s part 2 Sunday, December 12th, 2010 4:44 pm - Back to the 80s swordznsorcery Perhaps inevitably, I've been a little nostalgic in the last week or so, and I wound up looking through my old scrapbooks. As a kid I was very much into Look-In magazine, which for those of you who are of the wrong age, or from outside of Europe, was a British magazine about pop music and TV. It specialised in interviews and posters, and I kept dozens of their centre spreads, some of which I've scanned to post here. At one time my bedroom wall was practically wallpapered in the things, so I apologise for the creases, tears and occasional blu-tac stains. I never imagined twenty-odd years ago that I'd be sharing them on the internet one day!This isn't all of it. There was too much to do in one go, so I'll do some more another time. There's nothing deep and meaningful here, by the way - Look-In specialised in the "What's your favourite colour?" line of questioning. Still fun reading though, looking back.( Travel back in time to the 80s...Collapse ) (5 comments | comment on this) Friday, December 10th, 2010 9:49 am - Last hurrah Sunday, November 7th, 2010 5:19 pm - A-ha.
