Anežka came to Prague to do some investigation for her thesis for a day and ended up occupying our apartment for two nights. And she is even worse in getting up early in the morning than me so I had to wake her up about hundred times both days to get to work on time not too late. One trouble was, we wanted to watch Space Shuttle Discovery launch at night and she drank a lot of coffee so she would be able to stay awake, but the launch was canceled that evening and she couldn't fall asleep because of all the coffee she drank anyway. So we were shooting the breeze till late night.

Two Sides

Machines have less problems.
I'd like to be a machine.
Wouldn't you?
- Andy Warhol

Machines have less joy.
I wouldn't like to be a machine.
Would you?
- Jan Mynařík

People too often sacrifice richness of life for getting more comfort. They too often see only one side of their desicions. They want to become machines, willingly or unwillingly. But machines have no freedom, no free mind. Machines are controlled by their operators. They are tools which obey without thinking. I wouldn't like to be a machine.

This is good music

2 things

...I don't like

1. Being outbid on ebay two seconds before the auction is over
2. When people briefly mention on their blog something I would totaly want to hear about and then add they would post more later. which they rarely never do.

Colleague: Cool to have such a charmer on the list.

Me: Sure.
Colleague: So what's your name?
Me: Kidding?

Not to be confused with a New Year's resolution

This is so weird. I always enjoy new year's eve, surrounded by the crowd of my family, but this time it was kind of differend. While the morning and afternoon were awesome, I went to park with dad where I swang on swings, rotated on a small carousel, slided on a frozen pond just like at least ten years ago, the afternoon was different. I was forced by circumstances to realize that there are things I haven't achieved and wanted to achieve, that I didn't use all the inspiration I got througout the year, that I disapointed myself in a way, that what I expect from people around me is often different from what they give me. There is lot of work to be done and while I know that the last day of a year doesn't take away what happened (or did not happen) in the past 365 days - on contrary, determines what will happen in my futrure - it helps me to follow my goals harder so I won't experience the same feelings again. I hope I won't forget this. The year was good, though and there are definitely things that were good and are worth continuing.
