Il Senso Essiste

I've been thinking what I wrote you almost every day here? What silly words did I put here? I grow thinking that it's kinda stupid describing the weather or that I've done nothing during the day, but anyhow I keep on doing that and it calms me down with the thought that I do write s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g. Well, it did, 'cause now you must have noticed that my posts are published really rarely, when I have no one to speak out to or I've saved enough news to tell. Writing has become not a pure aim, but a way of sharing my inner world with the outer one.

Sometimes I receive the inspiration and write drafts for stories. They're not completed for sure and are pretty dumb, but they are something, it's a start. I'm still waiting for a moment of the true inspiration to write something fully. From time to time I get ideas, but then my idleness works or my self-confidence doesn't work right and break the Internet any plans.

My education for this academic year is almost over, it's so close to the end. The only thing I have to do is to retell some books to my teacher of foreign literature. Even though I failed my final test, she allowed me just to tell the texts not to take the exam. I'll have to answer her questions about "Romeo and Juliet" (though I read it at school, I forgot many details), "Hamlet", "King Lear" and "Othello" by Shakespeare, "Decameron" by Boccaccio, "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes and "The Dog in the Manger" by Lope de Vega. And I'm quite ready for all of them. I pray for it. I've been lazy for the whole semester and hardly read anything, so now I deserve to suffer and read all this things. Actually I've watched some of the plays to make my life easier. But I really enjoyed reading "The Dog in the Manger" and ended up laughing at "Romeo and Juliet" - how stupidly things turned out to be! Still I'm not a fan of Shakespeare, no. But read some literature, it makes you smarter, guys!

The song of the day will be a cool Italian song "L'Amore Essiste" by Francesca Michielin. It says that love doesn't have sense, it has neither name, nor eyes, but nevertheless it exists, and you can run into it all of the sudden, when you even don't think of it. 

Be brave to believe in love

The 5th Day Of Nonsense

Hey you, how's your summer going? What? It's only the 5th of it? So you just can't enjoy it! Neither can I because I still have my studies and some other headaches to deal with. Actually, my life's pretty fine now if I don't mess it up and manage my time right.
I've just watched one Soviet screening of "Hamlet", 1964. Surprisingly it ended up satisfying for me, though I had considered "Hamlet" to be a pretty boring thing. I tried to read it in the 9th grade at school, but I almost fell asleep. Maybe, I've simply grown up? The fact that the movie was black and white added some special atmosphere to it.

Guess who

My mom went to her travel yesterday. She's about to visit our relatives in the Russian North and attend a conference in Saint Petersburg. But the most exciting news from her for me is that my mother and her friends will visit Armenia and Georgia in October! Unfortunately, I won't join them, but I'll certainly receive a birthday text from Yerevan or Tbilisi. I'd like to visit Armenia one day too. 

Tomorrow I'll go to the concert of Cherry Lady's university choir. I've seen their performance only once when they sand one single song during a big concert, and now I'll chance to hear many songs of their repertoire. 

Plainly nowadays I feel a bit bored, because I don't work anymore and my student organisation doesn't put up any meetings. So I have to amuse somehow myself - going to the hospital, for example. 

And the song of the day will be a pretty sexy song with a totally unsexy tittle "Gorilla" by Bruno Mars. Get it.

Ooh I got a body full of liquor

With a cocaine kicker

And I'm feeling like I'm thirty feet tall

So lay it down, lay it down

You got your legs up in the sky

With the devil in your eyes

Let me hear you say you want it all

Say it now, say it now

Look what you're doing, look what you've done

But in this jungle you can't run

'Cause what I got for you

I promise it's a killer,

You'll be banging on my chest

Bang bang, gorilla

Ooh, yeah

You and me baby making love like gorillas

Ooh, yeah

You and me baby making love like gorillas

Yeah, I got a fistful of your hair

But you don't look like you're scared

You just smile and tell me, "Daddy, it's yours."

'Cause you know how I like it,

You's a dirty little lover

If the neighbors call the cops,

Call the sheriff, call the SWAT ‒ we don't stop,

We keep rocking while they're knocking on our door

And you're screaming, "Give it to me baby,

[Clean version:] Give it like you wanna!"

[Explicit version:] Give it to me motherfucker!"

Oh, look what you're doing, look what you've done

But in this jungle you can't run

'Cause what I got for you

I promise it's a killer,

You'll be banging on my chest

Bang bang, gorilla

Ooh, yeah

You and me baby making love like gorillas

Ooh, yeah

You and me baby making love like gorillas

I bet you never ever felt so good, so good

I got your body trembling like it should, it should

You'll never be the same baby once I'm done with you

You [x3]

Oh, you with me baby making love like gorillas

Ooh, yeah

You and me baby we'll be fuckin' like gorillas

Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah, baby, baby, oh yeah, yeah)

You and me baby making love like gorillas

When You're Around Me

I'm the one who left you, you're not the one who left me

Marina And The Diamonds, "Radioactive"

I've spent all day at home, therefore I've watched some things.

Firstly, I watched Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing" starring adorable David Tennant and lovely Catherine Tate with Russian subs, of course. What a wonderful thing! "Digital Theatre" recorded it, so now everyone can watch British theatre performances, thanks to them. Well, "Much Ado About Nothing" is a comedy about the whims of life and love; David and Catherine are absolutely brilliant there! The play is hilarious. And Tom Bateman played Claudio was awesome. It's one  more confirmation that David Tennant and Catherine Tate are totally amazing actors. Love them

After the play I watched a movie "Monte Carlo" with Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester, new for me Katie Cassidy, Glee's Cory Monteith and Catherine Tate again! The story's about three girls having adventures in France. One thing I must admit being a girl is the guys are handsome. And I liked Leighton Meester there.

And yesternight I watched "Valentine's Day" by Garry Marshall starring many many many people. Garry Marshall also made "New Year's Eve" even after "Valentine's Day", so the structure is the same - some stories connected with each other. I want to mark out Ashton Kutcher, he's sweet again, and Bradley Cooper with... an interesting and unexpected character. Generally I really loved the movie and was crying as a little bitch.

Tomorrow the first rehearsal for the Japan trip will be. I hope I'll learn everything easily.

Moreover, the last week in my city in June starts. Let me prepare to the U.S.A.!
And the song of the day will be "Radioactive" by fabulous Marina And The Diamonds. When I heard it for the 1st time, I didn't like the song; but I listened to it one more time yesterday and fell in love.

Lying on a fake beach

You'll never get a tan

Baby I'm gonna leave you drowning until you reach for my hand

In the night your heart is full and by the morning empty

But baby I'm the one who left you, you're not the one who left me

[Chorus]

When you’re around me, I’m radioactive

My blood is burning, radioactive

I'm turning radioactive

My blood is radioactive

My heart is nuclear

Love is all that I feel

I'm turning radioactive

My blood is radioactive

Waiting for the night fall, for my heart to light up

Oh baby I want you to die for, for you to die for my love

In the night your heart is full and by the morning empty

But baby I'm the one who left you, you're not the one who left me

[Chorus]

When you’re around me, I’m radioactive

My blood is burning, radioactive

I'm turning radioactive

My blood is radioactive

My heart is nuclear

Love is all that I feel

Ready to be let down

Now I’m heading for a meltdown

[Bridge]

Tonight I feel like neon gold

I take one look at you and I grow cold

And I grow cold...

And I grow cold...

[Chorus]

When you’re around me, I’m radioactive

My blood is burning, radioactive

I'm turning radioactive

My blood is radioactive

My heart is nuclear

Love is all that I feel

Ready to be let down

Now I’m heading for a meltdown

Be brave

The Day of Tom Hiddleston. Midnight in Paris. Cannes.

I've just watched the movie "Midnight in Paris" by incredible Woody Allen. Oh, the film is maarvellous! ("The kiki is maarvellous") I've watched it certainly because of Tom Hiddleston. Then I've found out beautiful Marion Cotillard and Rachel McAdams take the parts there. In general, the movie's simply fabulous, "Midnight in Paris" received an enthusiastic critical response. For the next part of the discription let's go to the Wikipedia:

Taking place in Paris, the film follows Gil Pender, a screenwriter, who is forced to confront the shortcomings of his relationship with his materialistic fiancée and their divergent goals, which become increasingly exaggerated as he travels back in time each night at midnight. The movie explores themes of nostalgia and modernism. Thanks to the site, I'll continue. The movie mentions a lot of great people of that "lost generation": Francis Scott Fitzgerald (Tom Hiddleston) and his wife Zelda, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and others. 

BTW, the film made its debut at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. "Midnight in Paris" won several cool prizes, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Grammy. Isn't it great?

Well, the movie's blended perfectly with my thoughts about Mr. Fitzgerald and his Gatsby, Mr. Hiddleston and Festival de Cannes. A coincidence or destiny?

Soon I'll learn to distinguish films by Allen from others, because it's the 2nd movie by this famous director I've seen; the 1st one is "To Rome With Love" starring Alec Baldwin, cute Jesse Eisenberg, Penélope Cruz and Woody Allen himself. My mom and I was laughing a lot watching it.

What about other Allen's works, so I want to watch "Vicky Cristina Barcelona".

This is my second post for the day, and this is the second time I mention Tom Hiddleston. Let me remember what movies starring him I've seen:

• The first time I saw Tom at all was "War Horse" with Benedict Cumberbatch. Hiddleston played Captain Nicholls, and I didn't know that cute guy is OMG TOM HIDDLESTON
• The second time I ran into this actor was "The Avengers". I watched the movie with my friend in the cinema and told her: "Hey, I've already seen him with Benedict!"
• Then I started to familiarize with the world of Marvel and the world of Tom Hiddleston, so the next movie I watched was "Thor". Generally, it's rediculous I watched "Thor", "Iron Man" and "The Captain America" only after "The Avengers". It's the nature of me.
• And here goes "Midnight in Paris" - my today's exploration

I know there's a big BBC project "The Hollow Crown" based on the plays by William Shakespeare, and Mr. Hiddleston appears there as Henry V, but shame on me, I watched only the 1st part of the series - a film about Richard II played by Ben Whishaw. Yeah, now you know why I watched. When I was watching it I thought it's a little bit boring, but now I understand it's so great.

If you think I like every film I watch, so you go a wrong path. For example, I definitely dislike "Marmaduke". Definitely. It's dull in my oppinion.

Well well well, also today we talk about Cannes! Yesterday I scrolled through some photos from the red carpet of the Festival paying my attention to the dresses. I hope I'll find an idea for my prom's dress. Yes, I know it'll be only in a year, but time goes by so fast. So here's some looks I like:

The black dress on Audrey Tautou is my favourite. I'd like to have something like this, but not black. I don't know what colour I want, but not black. And yes, 2 last dresses look alike very much, but anyway they're different. Girls understand.

According to the title, here's some pictures for you, as usual. Photos of Tom Hiddleston from Cannes:

Moreover, while Thomas has fun in France, Ian Somerhalder had fun in Moscow a day or two ago. Today I'm going to watch a late night show with him.

Ouch, I promised you the song of the day... Let inject some Brazilian music in my blog, and I introduce Cartola with his song "Preciso me encontrar". Enjoy!

Be brave!

P.S. Who's sweet here? ^_^

Poems' Day

Sometimes I run into the pictures with beautiful verses, and I feel like sharing them with you. I don't know the authors, they just appear in my Internet space. Yeah, I admit the poems are pretty sad, but it doesn't spoil their tenderness.

I also want to get you my favourite poem "The Tyger" by William Blake. The poet even made an illustration. You see, here's the original Y in 'Tyger' and the punctuation, but later editions, of course, have done it our way. No matter what, enjoy "The Tyger".

Tyger Tyger. burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye.

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand, dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat.

What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,

In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? what dread grasp.

Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears

And water'd heaven with their tears:

Did he smile his work to see?

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright.

In the forests of the night:

What immortal hand or eye.

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

There're some audio versions of Shakespeare's sonets and other different poems in my Reader, read by my favourite British actors: Devid Tennant, Tom Hiddleston, Ben Whishaw, Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Scott. It's useful listening to the original English language recorded by native speakers (so sexy native speakers) and trying to understand every tiny thing. Plus, I can't help listening to it when I'm sleepless or nervous - nice rich deep male voices always work wonders with the women. 

And here's Mr. Devid Tennant performing for you Sonet 12 by William Shakespeare. Oh, he sits like a machine, but his words fly away.

Also I can't miss our Russian literature and my favourite Russian poets - Mikhail Lermontov and Alexander Blok. Russian writers and poets have probably never had easy life, so didn't have these two. 

Mikhail Lermontov

Like An Evil Spirit

Like an evil spirit hast thou

Shocked my heart from out its rest,

If thou'lt take it quite away now -

Thou wilt win my healing blest!

My heart thy temple evermore!

Thy face,- the altar's Godhead sign!

Not heaven's grace, - thy smiles, restore,

Grant absolution, joy divine! 

Alexander Blok

A Girl Sang a Song

A girl sang a song in the temple's chorus, 

About men, tired in alien lands, 

About the ships that left native shores, 

And all who forgot their joy to the end. 

Thus sang her clean voice, and flew up to the highness, 

And sunbeams shined on her shoulder's white - 

And everyone saw and heard from the darkness 

The white and airy gown, singing in the light. 

And all of them were sure, that joy would burst out: 

The ships have arrived at their beach, 

The people, in the land of the aliens tired, 

Regaining their bearing, are happy and reach. 

And sweet was her voice and the sun's beams around.... 

And only, by Caesar's Gates - high on the vault, 

The baby, versed into mysteries, mourned, 

Because none of them will be ever returned.

And certainly, exercising my rights as a would-be musician, I can't deny many songs have really nice lyrics. And vice versa - there's a glut of cases when a poem has become a decent song. At least, I can warrant Russian music area.

If you're still looking forward to the song of the day, so it'll be an adorable song "The Man I Love" by Ella Fitzgerald. No, it's not the same song which Lana Del Rey sings. But you should pay your attention even more to Ella's song, Ella Fitzgerald is The Queen of jazz. We must give her due, because singing jazz is a hard deal, however easy and funny it may look. I definitely love it. 

Be brave, be smart!

The World's End

So, guys, I congratulate you with the end of the world! And with the sart of a new one :D
To tell the truth, I'll have a new era for myself anyway - just some days ago I broke up with my boyfriend. I had to do it, because I can't stay with someone without love. Well, he loves me, but I don't. Aah, don't want to talk about it anymore.
Today at school we've been shown a great French musical "Romeo Et Julliet", with Russian subtitles, of course. We've not be able to finish watching it at the lesson, so my friend and I have watched it till the end at my home. The musical is really fantastic! Here's some fragments from the movie we've watched:

Aren't Romeo and his friends adorable? So cute! And Julliet is so nice ^_^ 

We're so excited about it! I'm about to learn the word of some somgs by heart, though I don't know French. Maybe, one day I'll start learning it...

Also I've found out today a new cool series "A Young Doctor's Notebook" based on short stories with the same name of our Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov. I've watched the 1st episode, and it's very interesting lol

Today's morning one my pen-friend has sent me a link for the music video of a really amazing song! And exactly it will be the song of the day! Here's "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons.

Moreover, yesterday I finished reading "The Time Traveler's Wife".

Happy Birthday, David!

Let's forget about our problems!

Today is the birthday of my favourite actor - David Tennant! He's become 41 years old. I wish him great roles and happiness. And be brave, Mr. Tennant!

He came in my life as the 10th Doctor, and he'll be in it forever.

David plays in the theatre, films in the movies and in general he's an awesome man!

William Shakespeare - To be, or not to be (from Hamlet 3/1)

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.
