My everyday routine
Since i write in this blog rarely, i'd like to just describe for myself my present flow.
1. Work, work, work. Get very tired every day.
2. Reading reddit, creepypasta, vk.com, Spiritual Housecleaning (so-so), Suzuki, some superficial articles on Feng Shui.
3. Made some necklaces:
Turquoise
Dzi beads
Lodolite pendant
4. Listing sales on ebay, etsy, tumblr.
5. Went to Cape Cod, was fun:
In Provincetown
6. Have not been recently to any exhibits, museums, concerts, etc. What the point of me living in NY then? Have not been outside for 3 days now.
Want to live in a village. My next destination: Amish Country.
7. Glued to iPad most of the time.
8. Music i listen to: Holodno, Tumi Baja Re Mana, Faison L'amour by Jeane Manson. "Listening" i mean like every day, couple times a day for weeks now.
I'm a big fan of repetitive actions. I do things over and over again for years. Routine makes me feel balanced and peaceful: same music, books, cleaning, beading.
My recent finds:
YA-NE-SEN a Go Go from Shishi Yamazaki on Vimeo.

3. I did not go to the beach these weeknds, but was at an Indian restaurant on Fri and will stay home Min+Tue: it is Tu B'shvat.
4. Everybody's talking about Trayvon and Zimmerman: killing an unarmed teen was too much, 'not guilty' is too little.
5. I feel i might go vack to watching tons of japanese movies. Just finished watching my fav britcoms like Keeping Up Appearances, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, and Fawlty Towers. They are a great source of good mood for me.
6. Happy with my jewelry designs. Will post thm soon.
7. Like ROBERT SHIELDS, KAROLYN POLLACK, SILPADA,
8. Content with my life. Almost.
9. Plan to visit Cape Cod in September.
10. Reading Nishi and Suzuki.
11. The sound of empty bottles clinking behind my window.
12. Bought a $9 1/4 of a Jacks Fruit. It needs to be riper.
13. Unmovable.
14. Started enjoying waking up earlier 5-6am, but closer to 8-9am i feel sleepy again.
15. Badly want to move to a country side. Donot now how i can execute this, but eventualy i will.
16. Started watching this film http://thecureismovie.com/bob-proctor-offer/the-cure-full.html#

Discovering Chinatown, NYC
Aside from cheap Chinese bakeries ($0.75 for a sponge cake and $0.80 small cup of milk tea) and dumpling places like Vanessa's Dumpling, Prosperity Dumpling and Fried Dumpling place on Mosco (frieddumplingnyc.com), i recently discovered few more hideouts. Welcome to Chinatown!
1. 242 CANAL CAFE BAKERY (242 CANAL NEAR CENTER ST.) Bakery and Cooked food. The $3.25 rice box includes rice and two other items.
2. DELUX FOOD MARKET 79 ELIZABETH AND 122 MOTT ST. Super place, has it all: vegetables, sushi, chicken, meat, buns, cooked food (the $3.25 rice box combination), bakery, dining area, restroom, etc etc. provides very authentic experience. I usually choose rice with tofu and string beans or sesame chicken and some greens, then any 2 buns or egg tarts for $1, vegetable sushi for $2.50, eel sushi for $3.75, lo mei gai and $1 steamed bun with pork for my bf. Last time i got stuffed bitter melon but did not like it much. The first time i passed by there were some tourists taking pictures in front of the stands with durians, so, I guess, the place must be mentioned in some tourist guides.
3. LUNCH BOX - 195 CENTER STREET AND 243 GRAND STREET 5 combinations for $4.25 to go and $4.75 to stay plus soup. I usually get a to-go box at Center St, but love to hang out at the one on Grand Street - it reminds me of a some forgotten place at a train station in China. And also - of In The Mood for Love small diners where the main heroine used to buy wonton soup or congee.

MIA presents, Favorites from AXWFF A selection of favorites from the Another Exchange by Women Film Festival, NYC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEMIA presents, Favorites from AXWFFA selection of favorites from the Another Exchange by Women Film Festival, NYCOn November 28th the MIA screening series will present a selection of fifteen Favorites from Another Exchange by Women Film Festival curated by the festival's director, Lili White. The Another Exchange by Women Film Festival (AXWFF) screens the work of women experimental filmmakers at the Anthology Film Archives in New York, NY.Alessandra Cianelli, a native of Naples where the octopus plays a central role, tells the Story of the Octopus with a Heart-Shaped Head (2009). A travel show taking the audience to a non-space, Lori Felker & Robert Todd explore the duality of place in The Mirrored Curtain (2011). Angela Ferraiolo's Subway (2011) is an generative montage, assembled by a computer using a variety of algorithms to create the final result. In You Can See the Sun in Late December (2010) Sasha Waters Freyer films evidence of absence, presence and maternity in cold winter light. Matoula Eolou Gekko's This Is A Test Reel (2010) is a series of portraits of strangers on the streets of Athens holding up captions the artist had pre-prepared which unfold the artist's reaction to the financial crisis. Using a home-made optical printing technique, Noe Kidder experiments with abstracting the image and her own experience of loss in Paradise (2007). A repetition of images in equally timed segments lull and seduce in Sally Grizzell Larson's Axiom (2010). Ana Rodríguez León takes the audience on a trip from the past to the future in Bell & Howell 2146 XL (2011). Xmas in the suburbs is juxtaposed with a line from To Kill A Mockingbird, "There are a lot of ugly things in the world. I wish I could protect you from them." in Kelly Oliver's The Borough (2010). Through superimposed and repeated motifs, Liliana Resnick's INSiDE OUT (2011) shows how a cycle of violence empowers a man by destroying a woman. Lynne Sachs films her daughter Maya Street-Sachs in Same Stream Twice (2011). Una Sporca Vacanza (Dirty Vacation) (2005) by Cinzia Sarto joins imagery both documentary and digital to depict humans on vacation, indifferent to the reality surrounding them. Rebecca Louise Tiernan's One Mississippi is a psycho-narrative of four girls playing skipping rhymes in a barren field with a lonesome Scarecrow. A homage to motherhood, Lili White's 8 Happinesses in 8 Minutes at the Park (2011) spends a few minutes of time in a shared space with different species. The mother-daughter collaboration, C & A Projects (Carolyn Radlo and Alanna Simone) investigate the state of the world in a stop motion animation, and this forest will be a desert (2010) - it's all about plastic, panic and paradise.###
The MIA(Moving Image Art) series began in June of 2012, founded by video artist Alanna Simone to promote the work of artists who use the moving image. Every 4th Friday the MIA series screens video art, experimental films, performance art, essay films and animation from local and international artists at the Armory Center for the Arts, 145 North Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91103. Each program is organized around a theme and screenings usually last a little over an hour. A donation of $5 is suggested. If you'd like more information about MIA screenings, please visit the series' website http://MIAscreen.com or send an email to: newsletter@MIAscreen.com###
This month's MIA event, Favorites from AXWFF starts at 7PM on December 28th, 2012 at the Armory Center for the Arts, 145 N. Raymond Ave., Pasadena, CA 91103. Please visit the series' website http://MIAscreen.com or send questions to: newsletter@MIAscreen.com

Exploring Ebay and Etsy
I decided to open my own shop on Etsy to sell beaded necklaces and sometimes paintings.
I love beading and finally gave way to my old passion and bought some beads, spacers, pendants, and clasps.
Besides, i learned many interesting things about beading like conditioning threat, making bracelets on a loom and how to construct one, about treated turquoise, about tribal Afghani necklaces, hand made beads from Elsha Limbu, pendants from neolithic China period called Hongshan, about buchonon and the difference between brass, copper and bronze, because most of them are just zinc alloy. I learned about silver plate and gold filled, solid copper, colors of agate, jasper, jade, and many other interesting facts and tricks.
Will be posting pix soon.
