Skating and struggle against cold

Hi there, fellow runner! It's cold out there, finally, so you can mix up your running with some cute winter sports like skating and skiing. By the way, in Moscow there is one of the greatest in Europe skating parks -- the Gorky park. It's fun and mice there, everybody can lend skates for about 10 USD for 5 hours. And you should leave 50 USD deposit for skates themselves (which is compensated, when you return skates). If you have your skates with you, you only pay 10 and go have fun. By the way, you can sharpen your skates there, it's not too expensive.

Skating is fun

And by the way, if your toes and fingers are getting white, cold and icy while you are skating, the problem might be hiding in your nutrition -- try to eat more meat, fish and other full of proteins types of food. You might also want some tea, chocolate or cacao -- feel free to consume them too, they will be of help too.

Rasskazy, awesome film (neither design, nor running)

This post is not quite about design or running, but every designer can take some cold and step of the running route for a while, why not to spend some time in cinema? So here in Moscow we have quite a variety of films in theaters, choice is overwhelming! We decided to go to European trade center as they have multiplex cinema there. Halls are called according to European capitals, London, Paris.. We went to Rome. They had new russian film there, "Rasskazy".

Rasskazy

Main feature of this film is the manner it told in and clean fresh humor. With every new story told you feel different scale, shade and color of slightly sad sens of director's humor. Heroes are being treated carefully, their features are clean and sharp thou their presence on screen is super brief and only last story makes us somewhat close to them. Last story is hilarious! Though, it's really good modern comedy without any piece of over-everything, just juicy fast and fun trip.

Rasskazy, scene from the movie

To be honest to the end -- the story before last, where old woman was and Pushkin's book was too made me fell asleep, but it's not to long )

Soviet design of 1950—1980 exhibition of industrial and graphic design

Soviet design of 1950—1980 is the name of industrial and graphic design exhibition which takes place at Manezh exhibition center. It is held there along with two other exhibitions, one -- Vollar publisher and his artists -- it consists of books and pages with somewhat beautiful but not eye catching illustrations. You should visit it only if going to two other exhibitions and shouldn't expect much.
Second one is called "video holes" and is all about modern media art -- like video films translated in two or more streams captured with different cameras. It's interesting, if I were you, I'll go!

Casio g-shock GA-150A

Casio g-shock GA-150A are first in second row

G-shock... They are like hound hunting you down till you face them and have no other option then buy. Absolutely no other option then buy them! Especially if they are Casio g-shock GA-150A. Color is like umm.. gunship or somewhat related. They are much more thinner then my previous GA-100 and GA-110, look much more civil and have nice small black buttons. Displays are clear black and all info is available al any angle and in all lighting conditions. Nice light clock face and thick but sharp hands give adequate contrast so they are a great couple.

Casio g-shock GA-150A case

The unique 3-D design of these watches creates the appearance as if they've been chiseled out of stone, creating a look of toughness and solid power. Their concave dials with half-gloss finish cast a menacing shadow over their dials and combined with the case and band's metallic colorway give them an edgy, streetwise look. Metallic blue resin band analog and digital watch with metallic blue face.
