All ride?
A logician will let you drive his car only if you know how to dismantle its engine, name all parts of it and thereafter assamble it back so that the car goes at least as good as before.

Fruitless reasoning
having lots of time to think doesn't necessary broaden the set of viable options... much... generally...
P&P
Mostly you can't escape being on the weak side, though what you can avoid is being on the sucker's side.

While sitting at cafe
It used to be a modern trend to display the IT and technology surge in overall by a guy sitting somewhere anywhere else but office with his laptop. Now I hope it will gradually switch to the notion that either he can't organize his time or he's just addicted to it.

Still an animal
At last the most animalous song has been hooked up with an animalicious video. And as well it pleases me to see that Friendly fires have made the nerdiest Caribbean-theme video so far :).

Converging accents
After returning to bz somehow one of the first things you recognize are the accents of the others - seems like they've got even more characteristic then they were, so that it takes more efforts to get the sense. Or maybe it's just the matter of adjusting (to English in general?) and in a week I won't notice any difference. In either case I guess that you use the English in the environment where it's nobody's mother tongue your accent might improve till it converges to some "best possible". But the same time it might evolve in the wrong direction if you feel too comfortable with the way it's easier for you to talk (not the way that should be correct by the standard) and you don't see any obstacles in conveying your ideas while deliberately worsening your accent.

Tvoi plastjinki slushala ja... la la la
So far one of the catchiest tunes of Russian pop music this year, yet not a banal one. Of course a hot girl hanging around in underwear doesn't spoil much the impression of the song :).
