Check out the Feeding (Futter?)

We all are glad, that Riki got herself some new and striking Pointy-Winterboots not in Helsinki (but in Russia)! Now she will have warm feet where ever she may roam, thanks to the warm, soft-blue fury Inlay !!
Sharing the ecstasy of warmness,

GoodNews

Friday, 24.11.2006 => I saw light at Novus Bar! Don´t worry, rebyata, there´s just remont!

Episode IV: A New Hope...

I really don't know if it means anything, but in the current issue of Афишa and and on their website there are actually some dates scheduled at our beloved Novus-bar!
Maybe our prayers have been aswered to and we are not yet doomed...

sad news followed by even sadder ones...

yesterday when i was talking to ilya he told me that our beloved destination for hanging out at the weekend, cozy "novus"-bar, closed the doors. that's maybe a good explanation, why everonye who was the during the last days was wondering that it was closed. he also told me that one reason could be the new "mod"-club, which is runned by the same owner, but a few times bigger than old novus. so it seems once again, that in this post-soviet country everbody is thinking just about the money. i mean, the bar was so crowded everytime i've been there, there's no reason to close it. but bigger accommodation means bigger money. a bavarian could say now: pfui däubel! but because i'm definitely no bavarian i just say: crazy russia.
i will never understand what's going on in this country.

sorry, riki. seems you'll never have the chance again to show us your analogy with marilyn.

oh, and by the way, a novuM for this site: politics.

have you heard what's happening to the media in this country? gazprommedia is going to buy the newspaper "komsomolskaya pravda", a yellow-press gazeta and simultaneously the biggest russian newspaper. this means, gazprommedia will be involved in 90% (!!!) of all newspapers in russia. in exactly one year there will be parliamentary elections followed by the presidential elections in march 2008.
question: does the democratic opposition have even the glimpse of a chance to win in such a fatal situation, where the state controls all important tv-stations and directly or indirectly 90% of newspapers?
do the math.
i'm out. when i read such news, i got sick.

ps: a statement from the spbtimes to the novus-closing you can find HERE

Underground

just in case ... you want to reach me by phone ... dont try. you won't.
it died as well as my PC, internet and music lately did ... damn luck i have :D!

-catch me if you can.

dver`zakryt!

today finally i had my desaster i was waiting for since the first day of my staying here...
those people, who know where and how i live, propably remember that there is one door from the stairwalk of this house into a small floor followed by another door which leads into our flat. when i stood up today, which was about 1 o'clock (shame on me!), one of the czech girls wanted to go outside, and because the other girl already was somewhere in the city and had taken the key with her, i had to lock the stairwalk-door behind the girl. this happened maybe 15 minutes after i stood up and so i still wore only my boxers and slippers, while locking the door. in this certain moment it became a little bit windy, maybe someone else opened the door in the house, so that the door to my flat closed and excluded me halfnaked. wow. what an amazing feeling, standing like that, nothing but wait. of course i searched all the floor for some keys, but: nada. i asked some neighbours, but they even do not know each other, like in former soviet times. after 30 minutes i was wondering if i would ever enter this goddamn flat again but suddenly ljösha showed up with his keys, and for me, hungry, cold, not-showered-edik he looked more than an angel like a human being.
so what do we learn from this story? don't leave your keys IN your flat, NEVER!
;-)

ed.the door on the left side locked itself while i was locking the door in the background on the picture...

ghost metro station!

yesterday riki, carina & me were shopping at the "grand canyon" shopping mall.
i found nice new shoes and riki a nice new coat, so were are ready for winter in town!

the mall is located at northern end of the blue metro line, so we had much time to fantasise about hidden and secret metro stations, why there is no crossing of "our" green line with the yellow one at ermitage, why at ermitage there is no station at all, and which is the deepest metrostation of the city...

right now i wanted to find out at least the last point, but wikipedia russia soon shocked me with the information, that indeed there is a hidden crossing of the lines at ermitage! wow!

My DiEt

my previous comment made Riki just FURIOUS - so she made me eat all 3 pieces + every gram of sugar powder + took pictures as a punishment! :/

oh, what a revenge :)!

Last Week on 8th Street...

Since there was a very important Seminar last week, about "Justice and stuff" with people from Passau University, there were lots of reasons to do some important afterwork activities such as hanging around. This includes the Schevthschenko-Freeriders Ricki, Kseni, Kari and Hanni (not in the Picture!!) who feast on чипсы-- jep!
P.S. Ksenia and Karina! : your ShakyPics did not make it onto my Blog for you are just too happy and your skin is yet too tense--- :)

today on nevskij

this picture illustrates sweet hanno, wishing (us?) something, while xenia, surprise, surprise, is smiling.
i love you both - VERY MUCH!

heyho!

my dears, today i baked my first cake here in Russia, that's a moment I have to share with you! I'm starting to think about my Christmas here more and more frequently, oh my god! I know that it's a good experience not to be at home for Christmas, but it's getting hard, I guess. However, thank God that there are some really great guys here like me to celebrate with. Today we had a BEAUTY DAY, we made really cool things! Some pictures will be at my blog soon! luv ya all, Riki

Back to school

Yeah,

After two great weeks abroad I’m really happy to be back in spb again. Even if Helsinki was sweet, Bremen was wonderful and Moscow was amazing I had already a feeling of “coming home” when I entered my beloved moika-area with the finally renovated pushkin-museum next to my house. Especially after the “moloch”-city of Moscow I was glad to walk through those nice and not frightening but beautiful streets of piter. And of course I missed some of you guys, hanging here around with me and having a great time.

Oh, and for those of you, who don’t know Swedish gorgeous electroriotgrrrls “the sounds” – try to get some songs from them, they’re amazing and the most russiansounding European band I’ve ever heard! So kitschy, but damn catchy! Listen and s.h.a.k.e.y.o.u.r.a.s.s!

edik
