Slow living

Nothing happened so far..English getting a bit worse....Not sure if I can write anything good this time.
Reading a lot: some books for joy, some for work. Found book on Adobe Illustrator, tried a bit and cannot stop now - a lot of fun - all these tools, pen tablets, tricks (thanks to all those people who post their tutorial videos on YouTube). However there are a lot to learn for improving skills:  they require skills in almost all imaginable tools - Photoshop, Dreamweaver, HTML5, programming languages..JavaScript will be tricky for me.
Finished吾輩は猫である ("I Am Cat") book by Japanese writer Souseki Natsume. Have been reading it for almost 1 year..Sometimes bloody difficult (he uses not modern Japanese but a bit old one and words). But I liked his witty style, humour and dialogues.Feeling of accomplishment of something big.
And the rest of time- shopping : clothes and furniture - bought sofa today  - and my room looks great now..If I get good bonus I ll have to think about moving finally.
 Some people leaving Japan, changing jobs - feeling a bit lonely but getting used to be lonely all the time...
This  week is 26th birthday....4 years since I left the country...funny but I don't wanna go..
Almost not checking news - read about PussyRiot - not support rock concerts in cathedral, but it is inhuman how they treat them. How they treat their people as whole..But there is no awareness at all in the people. And it is so sad....30 years of forbidden Christianity, but now they find reason to convince people as "not appropriate" actions toward religion...Weird
 Watched Natalia Vodianova interview in Internet - what a bright person - so pure and kind.
