Back in the freeeeze...
Posting here has been limited because of our trip back to Europe. We just arrived last weekend and personally I'm still recovering from the jetlag. One word pretty much sums up the whole trip...COLD. It was -10 C over there at night and it hovered around 0 C during the day (that's around 32 F for you Americanos). Even though there were a few sunny days, it was freezing. Being the California guy I am, I woke up and looked out the window to see the sun shining on those days and was ready to put on a pair of shorts....Um, nooo. We paid a visit to Natalia's grandmother (photo at left with her neighbor and friend) in eastern Slovakia (where it was even colder).
It was good to see a lot of my old friends. Of course, there's never enough time to see everyone and we're always in a rush everywhere we go. We picked up a few CDs and DVDs which you can only get over there. Natalia bought a big ol' glass plate (which I had to carry back on the plane) and lots of Studenska chocolate for our buddy Martin Knazovicky (Or should I say "Martin Schaefer"?). Robo Knazko has decided to go hippy and there were a few others I met- now in the photo gallery. Misha promised me that her new CD (actually a double CD) is even better than her first so I picked one of those up while she was with me (a slightly surrreal experience--buying the CD of the person who you're shopping with). She wanted to get an iPod so we drove over to the Polus Shopping Center and she serenaded me all the way there. Mostro and Natalia are getting married soon and he wants me to be the best man at the wedding, which is very exciting. It means I'll have to go back there . . it also means a wild bachelor party is in order.
It's a bit difficult getting back to work and getting into the swing of things. I'm in the process of redoing my design portfolio and going to add a video to my acting site. Stay tuned...
