Blogging proved to be hard and complicated. It takes a lot of time and resource, drains the brain from ideas and even though it's totally worht it, there comes a time when even the best blogger has to prioritize; unfortunately, blogging is not always within Top 3 of the important things in life.

That's the case here. Need to focus on other issues. Thank you for your kind attention and the feedback I've been getting. The archives will remain here - use them only in a case of emergency and keep them a secret (just kiddin'!)

That's all from me. Have an amazing autumn!

Live Space

Some time ago I admitted how much I admire the English design thought. Apparently, the Brits can't help it - although I know nothing about interior design, most of the ideas thatI witnessed here, made me jump with excitement. CLEI UK is a collection of so called smart furniture which gives amazing ideas for optimization of living space and teaches how to get the maximum of the minimalistic design.

Worshipping objects with such fanaticism is not zen at all but this piece of furniture just made me hold my breath. I promise to glorify anyone who provides me with it at a reasonable price.

Love Languages

This friend of mine sometimes doubts his girlfriend's love and from time to time tells her he loves her while she is asleep and then waits for her answer (he claims noone can tell a lie in their sleep). She always answers "I love you too" - probably loves him a lot or she has just learned how to lie in her sleep.

Out of the context of the Good Morning Sweetheart pillow, it doesn't make any sense to tell you about my friends. Having the pillow in mind, though, it all seems quite inspiring - a really creative way to say something sweet to your significant other even before you open your eyes in the morning.

Maximum Protection

I've been trying to uninstall my McAfee antivirus software for a few days now, not to mention the sleepless nights that go with them. I finally succeeded, and as tech support claims, all the McAfee components are wiped out from my computer. But McAfee Personal Firewall Plus is still on. Spooky, eh?

I need to switch it off and I need to do it urgently.

If anyone has had any experience with McAfee, please help me - I'm kinda desperate. Thanks in advance.

Lifestylе on sale

Just like the hunting season, the season of the sales has its rules and peculiarities. Sometimes funny "goods" are on sale.

White Lilies for Breakfast

There are moments when someone writes stupid things at their blogs and you're mad at them for breathing your oxygen. Or moments when you're a ninja-zombie because of the post-narcotic depression and you have no clue why are there cookie crumbs on your keyboard. There are moments when you have a long list of things to write about, organized by priority but you look at someone else's punk life in images, listen to Lily and then write pointless entries about them, screwing up you schizo order. Then, like a real fan, you create something with a logo and a picture and enter the true-fans hall, while you'd rather be walking around rainy London with a yellow umbrella, looking at everything twice.

And everything is just a bit different if you're in love with a non-London girl who loves life, the world and you more than anything else even when you're stupid enough not to be with her.

This entry is dedicated to all the meaningless entries in the blogosphere.

Stories of Space

Packing luggage in a suitcase, putting goods in a supermarket cart, standing in a particular spot, sketching with chalk on the road, re-arranging furniture, building buildings - just a few examples of defining space. Not necessarily conventional and not always apparent.
The symbiosis between humans and concrete, steel as an extension of the mind, windows as subsequent pairs of eyes - people themselves are also subjects to defining in space.

Everyone has their story. Every building has its people and stories. Architects as therapists, architects as fighters for freedom of space, architects as story-tellers. The stories of someone's habitats, of the inhabitants themselves, of special space designers.

Don't forget to read the story of a French home and it's genius-creator from Holland. Inspiring; just inspiring.

God Bless The Queen & Modern Design!

Most of my British friends are fockin' freaks; they do nothing for ages and then, all of a sudden, start creating stuff. Once that creativity process starts, surprises are to follow (I still remember this one time when a friend tried to cook a traditional British meal - we were definitely surprised, but that's another story; besides, there are almost no stains left on the kitchen walls now).

Actually, I'd rather consider such culinary experiments exceptions of the rule, since I have little doubt in the British creative thought. The faith of mine is being confirmed by the work of the designer Richard Shed. Google doesn't provide with much info/ bio of Richard so I'm not even sure he comes from the good old kingdom, but I'm positive I want to have every single object from his website in my home.

Indoor Advertising

If I have to translate the pictures into words, those images would say something like "Have a nice trip home, we hope you had fun in Amsterdam".
