What is living in CIS countryside like?
For today, our world is getting too competitive with creating all this modern technologies. There are some places on Earth where a human being can feel themselves good and free, like russian/kazakhstanian/belarussian countrysides, for example. You can make campfires, grow vegetables, some fruits like apples, have a barbecue using firewood, the air aint that poluted and dirty as it is in some other countries, also not that many people living here - many beautiful fields and forests are available for camping, doing sports and jsut having a rest in summertine. There is a saying "Russia is lungs for our planet", I think that is true. What I want to say is every year there is becoming not that many places on Earth where a human can grow anything, globalisation is spreading everywhere, global corporations make us work as hard as a man possibly can. That is not happy world we all have been dreaming of.

April Fools Day Is My Birthday
Today, April, 1st is my birthday. Yes, it actually is! When I was born, back at 1985, my father was called up by my relatives on the phone at 4:15 a.m. So, when he woke up, he didn't want to believe that "curious" fact, since there was a thought in his mind he got totally fooled and pranked. But he was wrong and getting close to the maternity hospital afterwards, he learned that it wasn't a joke and felt a really proud father.

I hear this expression in some songs rather often. So what does it mean? And, why isn't it saying "perfect picture"?

Today was a working day of congratulations for women. At my job, everyone had having a dinner, had been drinking some "drinks" :) and, by afternoon, all the women and the girls went home.
I just wanted to congratulate on all the women with March 8, and wish them all the best with their dreams and fantasies!

Depeche Mode to release
I've read an article and noticed that it began with the words '"Depeche Mode to release their new album at 2013". What does it mean TO RELEASE, does it mean that they are going to release their new record in the near future or what?

"Should" or "Shall" in asking sentences
Do native speakers use the word "Shall" with the words "I" and "We" in asking sentences or do they use "Should" with these ones in modern English?

Last day at work
A few days ago, my friend and a co-worker from my second work Roman have told me that our commercial music band should perform this Saturday. OK, I'm not opposed to it at all! I even love this fact instead of being celebrating New Year party at my first work and I hope I'll get enough sleep. Hope you will have good Holidays too, my friends!

Names of films are translated differently
Just interested, why are some names of art films translated from english into russian differently? Is it the same in your non-speaking english country? For example, well-known "Yes Man" film sounds as "Always Say Yes" in russian. Or "Die Hard" translated as "Thoughie" by russian translators. Do they do so that it will sound more artistic and commercial, or for what? And one of some novelties I've noticed recently is when a russian translation ends up suddenly I hear only english language. Why do they do that, maybe you know?

Nirvana reunion with Paul McCartney
Yesterday, I've been watching Nirvana reunion with Paul McCartney on the vocals on the Internet. Krist Novoselic, Pat Smear and Dave Grohl played for 12.12.12 charity act, in my opinion, at Madison Square Garden. That was just an incredible perfomance! Like The Beatles met Nirvana and they played together! But I haven't enjoyed that pretty much because they only played one song. That song will be released on Dave Grohl's Sound City Movie album on Febuary, 2013. I can't wait for this album! Ok, I hope you like these bands too. See you, dudes!
