Blog description
For my dear friends far far away... a diary of my wonderful life in the lovely country of Croatia.

Explanation to all who wonder why this blog is in English:
my dear friends, to whom I write this instead of e-mails, are not Croatian. They’re from all over the world. So, I write in English, which all of my friends, whether Croatian, or Japanese, of French, or Mexican, can understand.

Forgot my e-m@il?
Well, here it is!

The last movie I've seen...
I can't seem to find the time to go see a movie. Or the will. Or the money :).


Alexander the Great

Horrible, horrible movie. Don't go and see it is my honest advice.



The Chronicles of Riddick

What can I say? Vin Diesel. If this were the worst movie in the history of movie making, I’d still love it. But it was quite good, actually. Sort of like Conan in space, but with a much, much hotter guy in the main role. Vin Diesel. Ah, he could make a movie about him walking around in an empty room for two hours doing nothing and I’d think it was the movie of the year :). (oh, and this stays here until I see a new movie with Vinnie boy :)))

The book(s) I'm reading these days...
Right now I've got the new Terry Pratchett - "Monstrus Regiment". It's too serious for a Discworld book so far.

Damn useful!

Stranded, part 2

I can’t describe to you how it feels to be stuck in deep snow, waiting for the road to clear, and not knowing how long you’re still stranded in the cold, with your fuel level getting lower by the minute because the heat’s cracked up, and if it wasn’t, you’d freeze.
Well, for the first three hours it was boring, and then you start getting worried.
What if they don’t clear the road soon?
What if we get stuck here during the night?
What if we run out of fuel?
What if…?
The worst of it was, I had to pee, and I was stuck in snow on a top of a mountain, with no bathroom, or at least a handy bush. Now that was horrible.
Finally, when we started moving (our speed was about 10 km/h), we saw that the delay was caused by about thirty trucks, big, huge trucks, with no winter equipment, which got stranded half-way up the hill, and couldn’t move. We passed a whole huge convoy of trucks which weren’t going anywhere for at least a day, until the road services clear the snow.
Guys, I gotta tell you, getting stuck in snow SUCKS.
But at least this year we had winter tires, while last year we had summer ones, and driving through snow was like ice-skating in a blizzard.
I’m still recovering.
