So incase you are not following I am in Tomsk Russia right now visiting with the other part of our little software company. Since our software is used as a solution by alot of web 2.0 companies such as this one (Though 43things is not our customer) I am trying to make the engineers play with these types of social networking sites. As I was reviewing my list of things with one of the engineers he almost fell over when he read that more than 15 thousand people wanted to drink more water. He was very puzzled as to why it was hard to drink water in the USA. Anyone got any answers for this?

So of course I have seen a shooting star before. I mostly added it to these 43 things because it romantic. However I was reviewing this list with Losha Losha I will have to post to the one about water what he thought of that. Losha Losha is one of the graphics mill engineers here in russia. Anyway we went out later on in the evening and saw a poster of a shooting star. So I will close this one for now.

So I guess I am learning Russian right now. I mean I am not trying to learn Russian but since I am in Russia you can’t help but pick up a few words.

And not the silly p words you know it seems like all the regular words start with p.

Pagoust = Thank You
Previat = Hello
Paka = Goodbuy
and so on

I have no problem remember word that deal with pain…

Boinya = It Hurts
ostpaquisa = Calm down

I WILL NOT!!!

I would be happy to just be mother it does not have to be a baby of my own body!

So most of the time I was in France I had a very bad tooth pain. Once I got to Russia I was worn out by it so I asked Marina to make me a dentist appointment. Andrew came with me as a translator, the first day was pretty bad because the dentist needed to kill the nerve. I came back to the office and layed down wishing I had brought my Vicoden to the office.

The second day I went back it was much easier and the only thing that really bothered me was holding my mouth open so much. The really kewl thing about the dentist here is that they do xrays that print right up on a computer. I have not seen that before (you know just the plates and then it goes through some type of developing). The dentist here was very modern and he was very nice and had kind eyes that looked out over his mask. The girls all were skinny and wore short skirts. Everyone was in white and the doctors shirt had a little tag that said EliteDoc in greens and reds. It was kind of kewt.

Now that tooth is all better and really I should get a few more fixed but one is enough for a while and nothing else hurts… Why do anything until one is pain… as my russian boys say Later Later…

When you are a child they tell you hell is hot. They lied to you… Hell is driving in a car from moscow to tomsk in siberia. Okay have you ever driven through montana or south dakota… well think of this for 3000 miles… except snow swept landscapes with white birch trees. Oh yes where the Tartars and Bashkirs live it hard to find a bathroom.
