Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
There should be a living sense in the things we do and say.
ABOUT ME
I like to discover this world. I like to describe it, to find and to formulate its laws and flows.
I like talking to different people about their thoughts and their lives, I also like dancing, painting, walking, joyful music, cheese and lemon sherbet. I don't like people smoking, cause it stinks and make me cough.
Apart from all of the above, sleeping is my favorite activity.
PHILOSOPHY
There should be a living sense in the things we do and say.

Music, Movies, and Books
I don't really read a lot and neither I watch deep serious drama. So don't be surprised. :)
There was a time when I did a lot, but it's over quite a longtime ago. Mostly technical literature for now. Or self-help books :P
That is not because I'm too busy, but getting older I became too sensitive for some reason. So movies and books often bring too many feelings that are too strong, much more than some imaginary feelings should be. So I have to avoid this.
To characterize me - here are movies that I rewatch from time to time:
"Happy go lucky", "Forest Gump"
Old and not so old soviet cinema with this taste of lucidity and pure happiness.
And ''The living of Brian" by Monty Python - check it out!
I like music of any style if it makes me "feel the same"
And books... It's not so easy with books.
I've lost my immunity for literature some time after I stopped reading serious fiction. Since then everything impresses me.
I still love Erich Fromm and Thomas Mann (esp. "Magic mountain"),
Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Heinrich Boell. The last one made me cry too hard, so haven't read fiction for a year or two and then Nick Hornby, Sally Rooney and Gail Honeyman last year.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once I decided to change my life and I've lost almost everything in my material world. Now I know for sure - it is not as frightening as we imagine it.
And one other time I gave birth to a boy and since then we live together and he calls me "Mommy". And this fact makes life much more thoughtful and complicated than some imagine it.
(And then another one with serious disability, imagine how thoughtful and complicated my life is now! :P)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some rock-n-roll moves or 3d graphics, if you are interested in the boring process.
Or some general things about brain and language, or the magic roots of culture (or what do you think has made us people, labor? )
How to lie on the sofa for the whole day long doing nothing and not to get bored - this is my best.
