smork

smork is a word Kostya and Eloosha came up with to say 'blow your nose' from the Russian word сморкаться - smorkatsya. I have a cold

Léon: The Professional (1994 French in English) – I wanted something faster passed but got a cold instead. Tonight I had a dinner for four instead of going to a party of I-didn’t-find-out-how-many.  

The first TBL recording of the semester was yesterday

 I’ve only ever watched one zombie movie in my life, and, minus the whole ‘walking dead’ bit it was a teen romance (Warm Bodies), not horror. But I’ve had two zombie dreams in the past month. In the first, it was zombies merged with vampires: they ate brains, crowded together and had to avoid the light. I had to walk quickly to get to a safe room before the sunset, while they reached out to me from the shadows. The decay had not yet set into the city, but the cement was cold.

The second Hannah and I were walking around and occasionally I had to kill zombies by cracking their skulls open and jumbling their brains. It felt like…snapping a lobster claw when I pushed through the temple-area (I’ve eaten lobster once and won’t ever again – as Папа said, it felt like eating a giant cricket). One time I ripped the jaw off first, going through the roof of the mouth. I was afraid I would get infected, an accidental broken bone penetrating my skin. 

And then there was a house with five doors, each leading to another world. The house connected the five but I had to choose which one to live in before the house ceased to exist, and I with it. All the world had zombies in them, so there really wasn’t much choice.
