lenin at VDNKh in moscow

art moscow II

well actually there was one other piece at the art fair which i liked. first i thought it is just another room under terrible condition, but the i saw that a finnish artist was responsible for it. well i still suspect it is a ready-made and he just put his name under it.

art moscow

about 2 weeks ago i visited art moscow. most fascinating to me where these stylish shopping trolleys. to my disappointment i found out they are not part of the show and not for sale, what a pity, another art fair i got home empty handed.

tomatoes

ruedi who wants to become a latvian found the ultimate never-ending tomatoe tree. i would also like to have one of those in my garden.

САША ОДЕКОЛОН

shopping in maxima still manages to excite me. especially today as i found this little treasure - "САША ОДЕКОЛОН". not that i really was searching for an eau de cologne, i guess i just couldn't resist the charm of sasha and also would have taken him home if he would have been full of ШНАПС...

weekend activity III

it might just as well be the last opportunity this weekend to grill shashlik.

house on fire

last week my copy shop in agenskalns was burning. somehow i managed to take a picture without depicting neither the shop nor the fire. i probably should have read these instructions first...

i don't gif up yet...

...but photobucket is gifing me some problems. old gifs are not shown for a while because photobucket is tired. so let it rest and come back later

how to become superstitious

ruedi wants to become superstitious. actually he already is, as he never shook my hand standing in the doorway or also believing he can only become latvian by saying "davai" and wearing a blue hat. but there are also other superstitions which he thought would be easier to remember thanks to the repetition gifs provide. so we created some together...

now especially in times of crisis i also must remember always to keep a little bit of money in my wallet, because otherwise the devil comes and takes a crap in it:


then if you kept at least on cent or santim it also comes handy once someone presents you a sharp object, because then you have to give a little bit money not to get into conflict:


well and the next one seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy. it says if you put on your clothes inside out, you soon will get drunk. cheers:


the rest of the gifs we created you can see on ruedi's blog post
