Vladimir Vysotsky is always going to be my number one artist. Anti-Communist Regime Russian during the 60's? Sings delinquent songs to go against Soviet status quo? Double check. Nobody will ever be as cool to me as him.

This was to spell his name right to mention him in a letterboxd review of Another Round saying he would have really made fun of those guys. yerofeyev drank so much alcohol
If you love wild alcohol filled romps but also satire and russian lit, moscow-petushki is a really good book.

I used to spend every night sitting outside looking up into the night sky trying to find constellations. I used to be so obsessed that I got my Mom to take me to a viewing conservatory with a giant telescope every week so I could see Mars in 4K. When that wasn't enough my mom got me a million and one books on constellations, moons and stars, and how to identify them along with a shiny new high tech telescope.
I haven't used a lot of that stuff in years after we moved unfortunately. I learned very quickly that light pollution is a big issue once you move away from the trailer parks and into the suburbs, and any chance at seeing stars is squashed under someone's giganormous TV shining brighter than a Ford F150's headlights. Straight up archangel Michael coming to take me away during the rapture kind of brightness that these people are using.
However I am nothing if not stubborn! I will find a way to use that big ol' telescope I have and I swear I'm gonna find every constellation, star and planet that passes overhead if it's the last thing I do!

Sometimes just looking up and taking in your surroundings makes you feel so real and human.
Something about seeing what your fellow man has created is really inspiring and gives you a cheery buzz of life.
