35 and up

this morning over our coffees, natalia and i checked the thermometre. by 9:30 it had reached 34 degrees. the forecast shows that this will continue for the foreseeable future. at this rate i will have to buy new clothes. everything i wear is dirty within and hour, and i shower three times a day, even though our hot water was cut, in best moscow tradition, almost two weeks ago.
the library naturally has no air conditioning and it is not allowed to take drinks inside. so you just have to endure it. it is starting to remind me of the summer of 1999 when it was about 35 degrees in moscow for six weeks or so non stop.
everyone is complaining, but i am happy, i like the heat, and the humidity even more, even if there is no air conditioning anywhere, i would rather it be very hot than cold!
yesterday after work i met daniel and we went to kitaiski liotchik. i hadnt been there for at least 3 years, but nothing had changed at all, even the menu was the same. nostalgia set in and i remembered all the nights spent there....
but then we went with a group of french boys and italian girls to watch france destroy togo in the world cup. l'equipe de france sucks this time around, but at least they can still beat togo!

i want to make a point by agreeing with you on this point: the french team sucks for real...not making comments on the Portugal-Netherlands match last night but i just want to say that after an entire (small) nation's horrible suffering, we won. and that is enough.

are you refering to the content or the fact that the appeared twice? i was wondering if you were trying to emphasis the greatness of portuguese football....
