Redecoration and a Bit of Something Else

New tv.com - I dont like it. Complicated, slow, ugly. They should just have an option of switching back to the old version. But I think just about everyone here stated the arguments, so no need to get all tangled in how much I want the old stuff back.

Anyway, I went to this dinner last night. Lots of journalists with a sprinkle of diplomats. We were quite a nice multinational mix. I was so happy to finally get a break from French and listen to some English :).But soon everyone lost track of who speaks what language, and started rambing randomly in German, English, and all diaclects of what used to be Serbocroatian. And as they were going on about their war stories ("So, there I was in Bosnia, in 1992, corresponding for UPI, when I heard rafals" etc) I scanned the bookshelf. Huge amount of political books and a nice collection of Ben Elton. But then I saw it - "The Gun Seller". I've been looking for it for ages. The fact that I still haven't gotten my hands on it may be explained by that I'vr never came across it in an Anglophone bookstore, and as far as I know, it hasn't been translated to Serbian. Not that I would read the sad substitute for the original anyway :). So just as I was going to get a closer look, the hostess ruined my plans by making a literal head dive across the living room. I had to hand it to her, the stunt was amazing. Must have been airborne for at least a few seconds. Or it looked that way. Anyhow, after about a minute of staring at her, we moved to the dining room, and I never saw the book again. I guess it'll have to wait for another gathering :).

And I just couldn't let this slide: OMG, HOUSE IS HERE AGAIN!!!!! *jumps up and down with exitment* Hehe, about a week-delayed reacton, but what can I do...
