Cutting flesh and Falling in Love, sort of. (July 24-27)

Thursday July 24, 2008
Blini Party! Very good. Learned how to make it from Natalya. Danced with Marina heavily on Irina's Door (Bed). Dr. Nick wouldn't let me dance in the window.

Went w/Asya, Katya, & J. to a really pretty estate "______." Flirtations were heavy. We lay under apple trees near the Moscow River for hrs.

Murdered last Rat?

We at at a German Restaurant w/buffet w/katya. Katya to Papa ... not Propaganda ... walked her home. We danced soberly after B52s & Sex on The Beach that I bought for each of us. We moved away from the others-- only J. & C. because B. had to leave b/c his woman Dasha was there ... again. On the otherside of the floor, we danced closer, lips grazed, and she told me she couldn't kiss me. After a few more brushes, she couldn't hold back (confirmed true later) & we kissed. Made out. She's gorgeous. At 1:30am we left to go get a gypsy cab home. We made out in the back. AT her house, she called her mother, no answer, so we went to her backyard Gazebo. Kissed for 40 min. She would get scared someone was watching. During a silent break we heard a faint vibration. Her phone. It was her mother & she was pissed. Immediately had to leave. Quick kisses and a promise for tomorrow & I go find a Gypsy home to MGU. She might be in love with me.

Morgue: 2 hip dissections. 1 forearm. 1 elbow. Other surgeon smoked w/his tool.


Ostantinko estate.

Katya's flat: Dinner .... parents ridic.... Samarai; numchucks. So, the day before, Friday, we half-
jokingly asked if we could come over for dinner. Her mother said yes to J. and I but she didn't realize C. and B. were w/us now. She said on Sat., tomorrow, we could. S, after the morgue & after sleeping at Ostinko, we got dressed & arrived at the flat at 8pm ... We we asked to arrive at 7pm. Katya's mother awkwardly greeted us by scholding us about being not punctual. Her father dressed in an all red jumpsuit greeted us with a firm handshake & grin while saying, "Welcome!"

Dinner was more than ready. We sat immediately, wine served. Salad, chrries, more stuff, potatoes, meat, all very good, oh and shrimp. Oh, her parents don't speak English so poor Kat had to translate the whole dinner about 1.5 hours. Right away her father asked what sports we played. We talked about cultural stereotypes, etc. Kat admitted that she "hated Americans before she met [us]" I foud that odd. I sat next to her; she rubbed my foot under the table bt otherwise kept very distant the whole night inside the flat. After dinner she told me that that morning her father asked, "How was the kiss? Did you like it?" teasing her. He saw us.

Her father was suprisingly friendly, however, and was eager to show us all his toys -- first the samurai sword. Twirled it around a bit. Then numcucks. Twirled that -- then a wooden staff. More practice weapons. He showed me some proper techniques. He told me "Malodyets!" We decided to go to the Real McCoy -- a nightclub that attracts foreigners. On our way we stopped at a store to get some vodka. The boys went into the club; Kat & I went for a walk. The next 1.5 hrs consisted of walking aimlessly in search of an empty place to sit but stopping every 50 ft to make out -- the public thing they love and i grew to love. Finally we found a bench. It got a "very little much" hot. We were obsessed with eachother.

I really didn't want her to go. I wish we had more time. She is great -- though young which makes it into a teaching exposition. She had to be home at 1:30 so she went. We didn't say goodbye bc we promised eachother that we'd meet again. How f'ing romantic.

(went to RealMcCoy, accidentally, soberly, made out with 25 yr old Marina) Home at 6:30am.

First Rabbit dead. 6cm of descending aorta removed. Prepared 2nd.

Swan Lake next to Bolshoi Theatre. The ballet was very good. Love the music. Strikingly similar to NutCracker. Then repeat of Cream is Creamy. Irina's room to drink tea & eat chocolate. Stole Russ music on my ipod. Oscar Wilde's aphorisms is her fav. book.
