It' s 35 F in Latvia today. We got snow. We usually get snow before summer hits. It is called Lark snow, because larks are already chirping, but it is snowing at the same time. I know it, Latvians know it, yet there is outrage "OMG SNOW in 2nd half of April" almost every year. People want to...

You might like Band maid then.

I like Japan and Canada. I present you Japanese/Canadian shoe-gaze. The band and video is new, released Feb 2024.

Private pupil cancelled her lesson today. It is Easter holidays for 3 days in Latvia. (Yesterday I had two pupils who wanted lessons anyway, tomorrow I will have one). My best friend lives in Lithuania and other friends have families. I'm with my cat today. It is usually Christmas, Easter, my...

You still playing? Nice! I work as a chess coach these days along other jobs of mine.

It was a mess. She had a kid, I was like nanny. She wasn't interested in women or men who were good at being women I guess. I tried to help her with her 4 yo, but the better I got as a nanny, the less she saw the man in me. So in the end she stopped whole thing, because I had been helping her...

I was trying to date 8 years down and this girl admitted to have craving for this thing. I was like, is snuff the new mary jane?

I sing in a choir. I have recorded an album and then some more songs. I regularly get compliments for my voice. I was lazy to improve it to the point I can get famous off it, but for now I love my position as the only bass-baritone in the choir. I have learned to talk in female voice when I...

The best video games I have played were mods of already existing video games in my dreams. Civ3 and Civ2 meshed together with new techs and resources. New victory options like world peace and utopia. Heroes of might and magic 3 together with 4, new scenarios and music. Epic elf/druidic music...

I really liked Tatami Galaxy. It is about time looping and philosophical themes on youth, meaning of life and love. Yes, slice of life, but with a twist.

Can I ask you, please, to fact check my story about a sixty year old man retiring in Japan for a pension?

Women here in Latvia earn less than men. So men have the money for flowers, but women don't have money for beer to buy on Men's day, I guess. Wage inequality is real here, sadly.

Men at my job want all men to chime in with some money and buy flowers for 50 women working there on National Women's day, 8th of March. I find it amusing. On one hand it's nice to give and receive flowers. On the other hand it is sexist to only celebrate Women's day, but not Men' s day which...

I have studied 19th century and 20th century before World War I extensively in university. My grandpa was born in 1924 and died in 2020. He had a lot to tell about world before computers, mobile phones, even before TV. I was raised by relatives born in 1924 and 1928 iirc. For me internet is a...

Yeah, if you study someone for 20 years you risk starting looking like him :D I still don't look like Virginia Woolf. She was my favorite writer when I applied to philology studies.
