Mar. 20th, 2006 09:49 amAnother Saturday thing was the Larissa Dolina concert. Ahem, hem. I should say, the so-called Larissa Dolina concert. It was half an hour of singing and forty minutes of commercial break! LD herself only sang four or five songs - she didn't show up till the end, either, so I missed most of them due to having a panic attack after forty minutes of overheating in a crowded auditorium and then being yelled at by my mum.
The "concert" mostly consisted of a Channel One Russia guy going up to randoms in the audience and giving them venniki, which is kind of like a broom except it's for thwacking people at the banya. There was also a guy with hair like a baby penguin who sang in Russian and French. He was actually quite cute seen in a red Tshirt after the concert - the tuxedo just furthered the Penguin appearance and made him look about thirtyfive, when he was actually like nineteen or something. People started going crazy with cameras the minute he came out afterwards, and then he ran away XP
Also there was a big projector screen on which they regularly showed ads for Channel One and excerpts from the Russian version of Jerry Springer, where we met an eleven yearold girl who just gave birth and other crazy Russians.
On Sunday, I got home from work to find my dad had dismantled my bed. This was eerily familiar. I spent the afternoon clearing shit up and slept in my parents bed (it was supposed tobe the couch but they were watching TV in the living room so...) and got bitten by mosquitoes.
