Well, well, well, isn’t it a hand of Fate, that kept my internet connection broken for the whole day today, and just restored it now, when I’ve finally finished my Great Translation work?! Yes! Three Cheers to me – I did it! I did it! [~shrieks happily and performs a Mad Translator's dance] All is now written, translated, sent out and folded away. 88 pages, 20 483 words (without pictures), all done now.[~and a "little" bragging here, you just can feel it pouring out, can you? 
] ...I probably wouldn’t completed it if not for being taken off line for the main part of the day anyway. Pheeewww, what a job it was. I’m really happy I’ve finished it. Somehow the English version, which is only 6 pages shorter, took me only a month to write, when the Russian one – almost half-year. Paradox, considering Russian being my native language… anyway, with that out of the way, I can finally do things I really enjoy…(lazing around, for instance 
)
Other then that Big News…nothing special, really…Watched a movie yesterday – a sweet old movie – musical of 1980…”Dulcinea from Toboso”. It is a funny fictitious story based on a famous Don Quixote Adventures. The story however not about the Knight, but is happening 7 years after his death. Thought he is dead, his fame inspires many and he is a hero, which he never was during his life. The movie is about Dulcinea, the “beautiful maiden” to whom he has pledged his love. (It is a known fact, that she wasn’t a noble lady, but just a neighboring peasant girl. And of course, Don Quixote believed to be crazy by most people.) So anyway, the story is about that peasant girl, who suddenly inspired by imaginary love and so she decided to go on adventure in search of it, instead of marrying some boring fellow villager. Nothing sophisticated in a plot. But very touching to see how this uneducated, plain, unsightly looking poor girl eventually finds the beauty and poetry, and love in the places too far from princes and palaces…A beautiful movie, an old favorite. And a bitter-sweet Dulcinea’s song pulls those violin’s strings from the heart...

Every woman would like to be called Dulcinea,
even if for a moment,
even if for an hour…
even if in her sleep,
even if in her dream…
