Now that looks like a good movie. I'll go make popcorn.

About your dog comment in Freepmail - strays are a big pain throughout the former Soviet bloc. Slavs just can't bear to shoot 'em, and the grannies keep feeding them so there are more and more. Nothing more pleasant on a summer evening - when it's too hot to close the windows - than twenty or thirty strays out in the courtyard putting on a kontsert for the neighborhood. Slavs can be crazy about pets.

One family I lived with, in an apt where you could look out the kitchen window at night and see the light on the Kremlin, the man used to throw all his leftovers out the window for the dogs. And this was from about the 10th floor or so.

Is that your website or something? It's very funny. But what happened to "sabaka"?

To a Russian this is like weather, nothing can be done about it.

Perfect. And the cats song makes it more clear, but I am confused about people don't leave the well-traveled/trampled path.
