Václav is back

For the present he is a nominee for the post of the Slovak television director.

PS: Václav is the mischief-making-man. He usually nominees himself to selections procedures because he wants to show the selection procedure is not as transparent as it should be.

Stardust - the book

I don't want you to think I read the Stardust just because I have seen it at a cinema. No. I already read the book seven years ago and because I liked it, I have decided to read it again. Unfortunatelly I did it at the same time as the movie has been in cinemas and it was difficult to raise the book. Luckily w. has all the Gaimans book at home and she lent it me [thanx].

Wiki

After more than a year I've started to cotribute to Czech Wikipeida again.
I can't suffer an egregious absence of information about Boris Akunin on Czech Wikipedia anymore. Because the Akunin theme is well-written on English Wikipedia I've decided to tranlslate it to Czech and also to take it as the other kind of my English learning.
My first article is about Nicholas Fandorin [the grandson of more known Erast Petrovich Fandorin] and I hope it is not the last one.

Another funny Czech song

Another next funny Ivan Mladek's song I discovered while I was writting the last czenglish spot. The song called "The shortcuts" starts at 5:27...


...and in the comments on youtube its translated to English by ID deep747 and ID lekkno.

PS: The man on the left is Zdeněk Svěrák, a Czech writer and actor who wrote Kolya movie screenplay - the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language [Oscar] winner in 1997.

From the Czech newspapers

The two main topics of all five main newspapers:
1) Christopher Columbus bring the syphilis to Europe
2) Poles like the old [in Czech Republic still very popular] Czech interpreted Ivan Mladek song "Jozin from the bog"



Here I have found Czech/Polish/English lyrics of this song:

1. I drive Skoda 100 to camp here on Orava
So I hurry, take a risk - go through Morava
The monster lives there, comes out of the bog
Eats mostly Prague citizen, its name is Jozin (Joseph)

Chorus: Jozin from the bog creeps through swamp
Jozin from the bog closes to the village
Jozin from the bog edges its teeth
Jozin from the bog bites, strangles
To defend Jozin from the bog, who could imagine,
only works a plane with manure (white powder).

2. I was driving through the village on road to Vizovice
The village mayor greeted me, said to me during drinking plum brandy
'The one who will bring Jozin dead or alive
gets my daughter and a half of National Agrarian Farm'

Chorus: Jozin...

3. I said: 'give me a plane and powder, mayor,
I'll bring you Jozin, I see no trouble about that',
Mayor helped me, in the morning I went up in the sky
The powder from the plane prettily fell on Jozin.

A cangaroo is hopping though the Australian desert and every hundred meters stops for a small penguin spewing out its pocket.
At the same time in the Antarctics there is a small cangaroo among a group of penguins, sneezes time to time and jabbering: fuck the exchange stays!

Geda [snowboard] and shortly me [ski] in Petříkov. Low quality, because it is a mobile phone video:

The lunch

Today is a special day: after a very long time I have the self-home-made lunch at work. But the lunch is not only an apple and yorgurt or something like that. My toady's lunch is real sandwich: bread, butter and ham. I'm very proud of myself :)

PS: I found two great things, when I was looking for a picture for this spot: the Holy toaster and the Miracle toaster.

About geography

I would like to write about two things:

1) On the Všemi osmi blog I found the Traveler IQ challenge - How well do you know your world? link. I passed 10th level of 12 and I think it is good. Last levels was very difficult and I was satisfied if I specified the right continent at least.
2) With the Traveler IQ challenge I remember the World 66 where you can mark your visited countries.

Cold

Some idiot switched off [OK, I did] the heating in our flat before the holidays departure. Today we come back home and the warmest room is suprisingly the foyer which usually have door properly isolated to keep the foyer cold out.
