I had half-promised via SMS to call p last night to reminisce about last weekend. But, then, Daiva and I made plans to chit-chat about a bunch of stuff, and I cleared out my social calendar to make room for a woman to whom I five years ago was up until 6am multiple times a [...]

I’m back at my apartment, 29 hours after leaving it. In the process, I lost: .: my gloves .: my hat .: my Spurs scarf .: my wonderful coat .: my keys .: some $50 .: five coins from colonial Africa with a non-negligible amount of sentimental value I gained: .: someone else’s coat .: [...]

This ABC show, Married to the Kellys had an episode that featured Lithuanian folk dancing. All the usual Eastern European stereotypes were in full effect, including the use of a last name that ends in “ski” (and, hence, not one that’s Lithuanian). Like a name like “Bizunas” isn’t funnier than “Mitelski” or whatever they used? [...]

I was part of the group, so I can tell everyone a bit about this play, on until the end of the month at the Chicago Cultural Centre. First, it was, of course, completely worth the $10 I [...]

I am back. Took the red-eye in from LAX, and now I can start being a normal person again. Skaut camp seemed an odd cap to some two months away from the real world (by which I mean Chicago), but it cannot be denied that I had fun. However, the doctor is now in, so [...]

I am back in the US and have returned to a life that is rather in shambles, I see. First, my email does not work. In order to contact me via email, most likely email to 1984produkts.com. Zuikis is down for now. Second, my phone is dead. I was half expecting this, but it still [...]

I am in Konstanz right now. I walked to Switzerland yesterday, and I am taking a train to Austria today. The Youth Congress was very stressful, but that was entirely my own stupid fault, so I should not complain too loudly about it. I am down to my literal final €50, and, as such, am [...]

Go Sox. Last night was the big dance festival inside the stadium. It was great, and there were tons of kids who danced very, very well. However, right beforehand, Jonas, Justinas, and I bought these little paper crowns (for the karūnavimo šventė, of course), and caused a stir. Never in my life have I had [...]
