The Forgotten Town

Just stumbled on this thing I forgot about: http://www.facebook.com/pages/CONSTANTAde-altadata/112468065442496 . It's my hometown, at least what it used to be before being sent into the eastern post-communist "revival". The city looked better after being bombed than what it looks like today. It's mostly a twisted heap of kitsch combined with old, decrepit buildings forgotten by city planners. If you've got an artist's eye you can still see what they used to look like in their good days, but their state is really deplorable. Somewhere there's a nice analogy, the old deserve a minimum of dignity.

Storm's 'a brewing

Three days straight of storms in Manchester. Nobody feels like revising for exams anymore. I just slipped into the comatose blues. Find me in Praha, wandering the old Jewish Quarter.
