i still do live. but it seems i should change the manner of writing my weblog. guess something is wrong ;) will see in a short time - probably around xmas. but if you want to know something about me, simply read regularly kombajn's and světlo's blogs - and maybe marjánka's (after a long time again active). i hang around with them often :)
what has happened? still more or less the same - i have lot of work not only at work... last week i saw matrix reloaded... (guess i was the last on the planet.) and as i was prepared to be very disappointed, i was not :] well - sure it's not a revolutionary film, but i like the style. it's having the aura :] then there were two completly different films: cabaret balkan (sud prachu) and spare parts (náhradní díly). the first one is based upon a collage of tragicomic stories. one night in belgrade - strong emotive drama, very good actors and above all great script. the other movie was a slovenian one (probably first slovenian movie in normal distribution in .cz ever). about smugglers and their 'hard job'. that's the so great fortress europe.
we went to leitnerka - another literature evening and despite of tomáš lotocki (the author of the evening and really dull and snobby guy, who's citing kafka in every other sentence and was probably holan's best friend - all in all pro intellectual & bard) we had a great fun. and even better was the masquerade ball of our faculty. the theme was 50's to 80's - socialist realism. marjánka and kombajn were dressed like pioneers (a communist youth organisation), markétka (marjánka's younger sister) as a hippie and i ... as a whore :) make-up, hair gel, lipstick, eyeshadow, nail polish. a skirt, fur, and high heeled shoes. i really enjoyed being a star :))
i remember i promised a list of my favourite weblogs. these are those i read often...
i would write more, but nobody's about reading long entries - and this one is already pretty long one, right? (comments:4)
environment : michel faber: under the skin quite an original attempt on between sci-fi and psychological novel. if you were a hunter, killing man for their flash - as a driver taking hitchhikers... how would will your life look like? zajímavý námět, který přes některé logické trhliny táhne a knížku přečtete na jeden zátah. psychologická sci-fi, v níž je na stopaře nahlíženo jinak, než je obvyklé ;)
propellerheads: decksandrumsandrockandroll my long time favourite group - and i still had it only on a tape. so here we go, thanks to tryhuk and let them play 'history repeating' :)
blisaed: feelings in general ep camomille release, from a talented swedish guy, intelligent pop with some ambient flavour.
london underground - platform for art online london underground as a supporter of net art. featuring many famous names. and nice drawings of l.u. :)

last night i went (and now i wonder why) to kapitol club (it was a cinema where we used to go with school) to see & hear head > > fake soundsystem. they were great, maybe it would be better if there were more people... but anyway. i met there matěj, my ex-schoolmate - after really a long time. interesting. am i the last one who haven't spent year or so somewhere like new zealand or at least england? now i should write some bullshit about balzac and thackeray :(
thanks to kombajn (photos) and marjánka (web+comments) you can now see a photo report from the faculty masquerade ball. enjoy :)) (comment?)
environment : pacelift: blue gold language lab (llab.org) in its new era starting with this atmospheric, cosy beats... a must :)

somehow confusing... last night i've been thinking about my grandma.. and today, she's gone. it's been long eleven months since my grandpa has died and she lost any motivation. maybe it's all for the best that i'm piled up with stuff i have to do. also a movie to be mentioned - yesterday i watched lepa sela lepo gore (pretty village pretty flame), yugoslavian war movie, full of deep emotions and with a touch of really pitchful black humor... simply a must.
on saturday a trip to prague... looking forward to it. (comments:2)

christmas are almost there. so i guess it's time to wish you all something nice. i've been talking with my friends about what their christmas are going to be like... and it was a really strange collection of wicked stories. parents divorced, parents just-like-divorced, just left his/her partner, lonely christmas (staying alone) etc. so instead of wishing you M.Ch.&H.N.Y. etc etc i beg you: survive :) remember that all the bullshit surrounding it (first of all claims you have to do something, eg buying gifts, tiding up, eating carp) isn't important at all. maybe there is a point about the primary message, maybe not. but hey, one need hope sometime :]
on saturday i've been to prague, first with ufo & shakul (thanks for the gift!!) and then an exclusive set of people - denisa kera, adam javůrek, martin kopta and jasna sýkorová. talking about this and that, in a very relaxed mood. to say the truth i felt like a guy from a village invited to higher society. but just you wait :)
i also bought another issue (an older one) of 3/4 revue. i dig it. my next days will be full of active work - writing an article about net art for 'konec konců' (ex bariéry). in their first 'rebirth' issue there is an article about blogs (you can read the original here), cutted, but still quite ok... and then an article about fair-trade. i will put it online too, but you can get more information here.

environment : veneer: light if this is pop, it's the first league pop... smart, easy-listening, full of light... again tryhuk as the one who brought this stuff.

well, we have the 'meanwhile' between xmas and new year's eve and i must say it all worked out well in a better way i have supposed. i was eating & sleeping, doing really nothing (that's actually quite stupid, cause i have to do it now). i enjoyed my parents' connection (spending whole xmas on soulseek and icq? and why not?), joined the crowd for the midnight mass, then a drink with tomáš and jana (it's a tradition) and overally just cruised thru my holidays. i wrote an article about net art for konec konců, will put it online soon. today, back in work, oh no ;-)
(and thanks for all the gifts, it's really niceee :) (comment?)
environment : alvin and heidi toffler: creating a new civilization: the politics of the third wave an interesting (and very readable!) essay about changes that might change our civilization - and it depends on us, what kind of change it would be... společenská změna - nová společnost založená na informacích vs. průmyslová společnost - to je podle autorů hlavní dělící čára v dnešním světě...
jarek nohavica: babylon a new disk from the man himself, czech bard no.1, this time was released in poland too, with one song in polish... so i ordered a copy as a gift for my father... arrived today ;) but still, a very nice one :)
transient: no war ep funky elektronika, game soundtrack or what? anyway, fresh stuff, explore kikapu net label for more hq audio :)
snack bar foundation presents quite a nice collection of links about net art i haven't known about before...
