How I misinterpret Russian song lyrics

January 12, 2012

A couple weeks ago, Mr. B and I ordered Russian cable , because all the best concerts and shows are on in time for New Year and, honestly, watching American TV for New Year is like spending Christmas in Florida, a la Home Alone 2. When you order Russian TV, you get three channels: Perviy Kanal (Channel 1), RTV, and RTV+, I believe.  While these are three Russian channels, they are Russian channels in the same way that mall sushi ...

What Russian Men Talk About? Surprise! It’s Cheating on Their Wives

September 14, 2011

A couple weeks ago, Mr. B and I watched some movies that my aunt brought when she came to visit from Russia in August.  One of them was a movie that’s Russia’s favorite current bromance comedy and has stirred up a lot of press, even in English, “What Men Talk About.” The story is basically four guys in their late-30s early-4os escaping everyday life and going together on a road trip from Moscow to Odessa, where one of their friends ...

Reminder! Russian Dolls Tomorrow Night @ 10:30

August 10, 2011

This show is tomorrow. And I’m liveblogging it.  Come back at 10:30 sharp for thoughtful analysis. And then read my blog. If you want some live coverage, follow Marinka, who I think might be anti-Semitic because she didn’t pick me to go instead of her family. I’m feeling a bit like I didn’t make Schindler’s list. It’ll be fun. Anyone else covering it? P.S. For some REAL insight into the Amero-Russian community, why not check out my hundreds of blog ...

I have to stop blogging because the Russian spirit world is telling me to.

August 8, 2011

It’s true that comedy writers usually need to be miserable to produce good content.  Unfortunately, I had a very excellent birthday weekend filled with friends, family, love, happiness, and those little tarts that have fruit on them, so I’m all out of ideas. I could blog about my weekend. However, I can’t, because, according to my family, if you tell people good things that are happening to you, they are going to hate you and mess up your good luck ...

Mila Kunis Schools a Reporter but Maybe Makes a Grammar Mistake

August 3, 2011

Edit: I was wrong.  I watched it again and she says “vi”, so thanks to everyone for pointing it out. Not sure where I got this from.  Maybe from my imagination, which is currently running a Mila vs. Russian journalist kung fu movie? Everyone has seen the Mila Kunis video by now, yes? Something that I think is interesting that no one is pointing out is that she addressed the reporter as “ti,” you, instead of “vi”, You.  There are ...
