Driving Miss Mimi
There're some undeniable perks of having a teenager to take care of. A) it's a her. A female. So no endless wanking into every available piece of clothing that's within the reach, and no aggravated body odour. B) This species can sleep, man! With
Christmas Against Humanity
The 2nd edition of an improvised Christmas tree (this time around using a ladder), and keeping a tradition of adding one new stolen decoration. Much to my shame, this year I've stolen one from a Christmas tree at my beloved Candid Cafe on the same day that the
Frenching Around
> "Voozave bian eleve votrrrrrr fis! Tulemondladorrre alondr!" We are standing on the Levis shop floor in Poitiers, France, and just like that - with a phrase crafted for me by my friend Ola and to a delight of my fellow-commuters BILLION-times repeated out loud on various commutes
Sexiness and shredded cats
(this post is most definitely not suitable for vegans*)# *lots of animals die, albeit except one, none ends up as a source of nourishment Let me ponder for a while the similar ways my family fails in life, stretching from attempts on sauciness to pets being annihilated. I had my

> Except for that one infamous year of my teenage rebellion, my relationship with mum and dad has always been bulletproof. When I was eighteen, my brother killed himself. And with every such deep reaching tragedy, it changes you, it shakes up your world and beliefs. Maybe (and it may
The P(l)easant Life
A quick trip to Prague before embarking on a crazy road trip in Austrian mountains. Walking around in skimpy shorts, having some ice cream (cause I'm a summer stereotype) even though it always makes me sick. Picking up a beautiful rubber bracelet from the dirt of the street
Picnic Season Unlocked
The picnic season unlocked, bonus frostbites and deer poo, but overall a great Sunday in Richmond with what's admittedly the most delicious scones in London (courtesy of the Pembroke Lodge). Finally, after parting our ways for a little bit with an amazing concert of Christine and the Queens
Xmas Groove Initiated
So midweek date night to get the christmas groove finally ignited. Mulled wine concocted completely guerrilla-style in the office microwave, which strikingly came out as the best mulled beverage of several last winters (maybe that's our new thing?), xmas dinner represented by Starbuck's turkey feast flatbread
Instant Solutions
Our generation grew to depend on the instant solutions. We want everything the easy way. And right now. Being it a grocery, clothes, experiences, travels, russian wives or diploma, you can have EVERYTHING in an instant with just a few clicks on your phone or pc. (Especially men) grew so
