An experience as a movie extra (please, help me to correct mistakes) Good day! Do you know a soviet cartoon about the difficulties of a making movie, which called “Film, Film, Film”? If you don't I recommend watching it. For the first time I saw this one as a child, although its adult cartoon (made by Soyuzmultfilm in 1968). You will get a lot of positive emotions and fun while watching it, because this cartoon has good humor and ironic. And now I want to tell you one short story about my experience as a movie extra. It was only two times, but both has been fun. The first one was a few years ago and it was hard for me, because I spent most of my time doing nothing. Sometimes I and other movie extras should have jumped and screamed on camera about five minute, and then we were doing nothing during hours again... But on the plus side, we had a lot of free time to talk with a film crew and follow a process of the movie making. And I think the hardest aspect of this is doing nothing during of the long time. Meanwhile, a day of filming may last more then 24 hours. But I'm lucky and it continued for about 12hours. The second time happened in past year and I truly liked it! One of the reasons why it was superb for me is because it was a movie about the fifties of the past century, you know, all that retro style... Second reason is because I was with my dancing friends, and we spent really fantastic time. We should have dance my lovely Lindy hop and have fun during our action scene. Of course, we were doing nothing for hours the same as the last time, but this time I liked scenery and that all our dancers had professional makeup and special clothes for this movie. Our day of this filming lasted for about 14 hours. It was great and fantastic hours of my life. By the way, I made some money as a movie extra. :)

A weird hobby What do you think my story will be about? Do you like to fantasize? What do you like to imagine in your mind? Oh, I'm sorry! It's too many questions! Let's get down to business. I like to looking into strangers' windows. That's all, you can close the page. *ba-dum-tss* I'm on fire! (Just nervous.) So, anyway, yes it's true. My hobby is looking into strangers' windows, but it's not all. Whenever I do this one, it's like I'm becoming one of a man I see through the window. It sounds very strange, I know, but I'm having fun every time I do this trick. Women, men, children — never mind. You'll can be anyone you want, just use your imagination! Today you saw a woman cooks in her kitchen, and she is excited(she is all time looking at her watch). And you imagine what's going on in her life at the moment. You're becoming she and can feeling what is she feeling. You are excited, because your lovely son will be home soon and today is his birthday. But you have to do so many things before he will come: clean the living room, set the table. You're getting a headache... Suddenly you realize all that is don't exist. And now what are you feeling? What do you think about this trick?

How about Pink Floyd? I was about 12 when I first heard their music and was shocked once and for all. I still consider this band one of the best classical rock music band ever. Every listening is like a cool trip among clouds, or walking through the night urban smog. You could get high just listening one of the many guitar solo(for example, solo from the song «Shine On You Crazy Diamond»)! It's not a joke, I'm serious! Their music will make you happy, crazy, sad, depressed, but it never remains you indifferent. «The Dark Side Of The Moon», «Wish You Were Here» and «The Wall» are my favorite albums, that I usually like to listen. Also, that is great to re-watch «The Wall» movie, it makes me worry and depressed, and yet I still enjoy it. This one of the cool films I really like.

Mulled wine recipe How about a hot drink for New Year's night? :) Today I'll tell you how to make a mulled wine. Take your good mood, smile and we gonna start. For this drink cooking we need red dry wine (about 1,5 litres), an oranges(2 units), sugar (about 300 grams), several pieces of cloves (about 2-4 units), a pinch of cinamon, pepper and a little crushed ginger(you can take a pinch dried ginger). All right. Here we go, now pour the wine in a pot and cooking on a low heat for about 5-7 minutes. Don't bring to a boil. While it's heating we can to make slices of oranges. The next step we put in the pot the slices of oranges, sugar, our spices, that we prepared earlier and now we mix all. Then, cooking again on a very low heat for about 45 minutes. Hooray! I congratulate you, we did it! Our Mulled wine is ready! The last step is pour the drink into mugs or heatproof glasses. Enjoy your drink and happy upcoming New Year!

Social dance called Lindy Hop :) It happened in the past year. My heart was going out, myself was feeling so sad, that I really thinking about a suiсide. I didn't know what should I do to make me happy again and bring me a reason to move on. One night I remember how it was cool to dancing when I was little girl and I wanted to dancing again. But now it should be something social, when people give each other a little bit of their soul. Looking for a social dancing school led me to one of them. And I started to learn to dance Lindy Hop. This is one of swing social dances, because people are dancing with each other to jazz music. It's really dinamic and expressive. By the way, every summer Moscow has open air's social dancing parties. And thanks to that, many lonely sad people can be feeling their a little better. They are having hugs, smiling to everyone and having fun. I love social dance very much! And Lindy Hop is forever in my heart! :) Thank you for your attention. Happy upcoming New Year!
