8-year Wedding Anniversary

Today we’re celebrating 8-year Wedding Anniversary! That’s cool! We’ve been living together 8 years already! Didn’t think it would go so far. :) Of course, we had some problems, we had really big quarrels (with tears and thoughts about divorce), we had problems with my parents, with wife’s, we had problems with our baby, with apartments (we rented one for 3 years because we had problems with my mom), but right now we’re looking into those problems only with a smile. Right now I don’t understand how to live without my wife. As well as she doesn’t know the answer to this question. We believe and trust each other 100%. No, 101%. ;) We think the same way, we live the same, we feel each other even if 300 km separate us. And we have a very beautiful daughter. ;) I think we’re happy. :)

Btw, in russian we’re celebrating a “Tin Wedding”. :) By russian customs nearly every wedding has it’s own name. E.g. 2 years - “Paper Wedding”:) , 5 years - “Wood Wedding”, 15 - “Crystal Wedding”, 25 - “Silver Wedding”, 50 - “Gold Wedding” and the last one - 75 years - “Crown Wedding”. I think whether there are couples who can live longer. Because women kill faster. Haha! :)))

A car from the childhood

A car from the childhood

Jesus! I have found the photo of this car somewhere on LJ. And I remembered everything immediately! I spent a lot of happy hours playing with this “gadget”! Though we all in exUSSR didn’t know that word at all. :) But that thing was fantastic! There are buttos on the control panel atop where one could code the movements of the car. For example, up+25+left+60+up+40 would move the car forward 25 cm, then turn it to the left to 60 degrees, the move forwards 40 cm. There were a lot of possibilites! There were even a button “pause” (the car would stand still for some time). We created a plethora of barricades with soldiers toys imitatinf the war and coded this car to move through the barricades, kill the soldiers and return to base. :) It was a very happy time! Until my mom bought me the Dendy console. But that’s another story. :)

Updated my “Clients” section

http://granik.com/clients/

Now I have such really cool brands like Nokia in my clients (I did a flash-presentation for them, later will put it in the portfolio), Danone (fantastic, mega cool flash presentation with a lot of video and drive - this will be shown to all Danone-Bolshevik offices in Russia) and Bijoux De Paris (latest fashion shooting with the very happy client afterwards)! Stay tuned! I got a lot of potential to get cool brands into my portfolio! :)

Two months ago I found this radio on iTunes. Now I don’t have time to listen to something else. This radio is fantastic! I didn’t know that I loved trance so much! Of course I liked it and listened it from time to time: dance trance, techno trance, psychodelic trance… But right now I don’t listen anything except this radio. When I’m working - I listen, when I’m back home - I listen again, when I go to work - I listen it in my mp3 player. :) I’m packed with trance now. :) I discovered for me a lot of new names and styles. Btw, the DJs talk there in greek of course and now I love this language. It’s so mild in accent and interesting.

Here’s how to find it on iTunes:

SonyEricsson w880i

 SonyEricsson w880i

I’ve bought recently this phone. My god! It’s a fantastic gadget! First of all it’s so stylish and slim that I can’t understand now how I was working with my previous phones. They’re looking for me disgusting at least. I love this phone! SonyEricsson did a fantastic job! When I put out of my pocket it and press a button I feel erected. :) Btw, the black version of this phone sucks. And the listening of music here sucks as well. But I have an mp3 playere and I don’t need it.

Secondly, the interface of the phone is outstanding as well. It’s usability is 10 out of 10. Everything is understandable immediately, the menus laid out perfectly, the animation and the icons are nice to look at, the skins are admirable. The buttons on the phone seem a little bit small but in real life they’re very usable and cool. The illumination of the buttons in darkness show the figures and letters very good. I don’t know what to say else. The price is high. Yes. But iPhone sucks here twice in comparing. :)

When people (even high-paid and bussinessmen)  see this phone coming out of my pocket they immediately take a notice of it and ask what is that nice thing. :)
