Ghosts Again - Depeche Mode Again

I believe this is Depeche Mode's new single (unless it's come kind of remix thereof).

Negroni

 Just a Negroni earlier this week, to accompany a late lunch here in Moscow



Not too bad but had no refills for purposes of economy.

However, was not a traditional but a house Negroni - a Cherry and Sake Negroni, and the house was Japanese or some Oriental food leaning.

Breakfast Americain at Miratorg Steak & Burger in Moscow

Cafe culture lives on for me - as in avoiding eating at home and welcoming opportunities to eat at cafes and such - here is what we are (I am) reduced to in terms of eating out in Moscow, in view of the latest Western provoked unpleasantness in the world: my recent breakfast at Miratorg Steak and Burger place here in Moscow, one of.

They call this American breakfast and I like to eat american so I went for it.

Two fried eggs, some tossed salad with cucumbers and tomatoes, a burger and an extra bun.

"American" is just a name here not a description of type but it was more or less good; and though it is breakfast it can be had all day long.


Yes, even though it's called American, it's nothing like the sh*t Yanks have for breakfast.

David Kleinfeld, Carlito's Way

This is not going to be a character study of a movie villain, and one of the greatest movie villains at that, but is just to say that I have been warming to Kleinfeld's style in Carlito's Way as portrayed by the idiot - and only an occasional above par - actor Sean Penn.

So Sean Penn is obviously an idiot and much overrated, and most of his roles and movies are total and irredeemable flops... however his Kleinfeld was great in De Palma's Carlito's Way.

And he had great style... or whoever was in charge of dressing the characters did.


Such panache... or whatever it is

Space Dogs Live On

 Here are the first two mammals in space, we think, who happen to be dogs and live on posthumously.




This is Strelka.


And this one is Belka.
