A few short things.

My cat is having kittens, apparently. And apparently she came to me this way, which explains why she looks about the size of an American football down the middle.

A nice girl at the club made an interesting mistake of referring to me as Ota as a nickname instead of Otabek. In Kazakh it means something she likely didn't intend. So - I am sharing so no one else makes the similar mistake. Otabek is fine. No nicknames or whatever needed. Please.

Also, this place is feeling quiet. Especially at the rink. So if anyone wants to come skate with me... I'm there almost every afternoon. I'm not sure if others would enjoy it, but the offer is there. If you can't skate...I can show you. I'm not a teacher, but...getting comfortable on the ice is something I know.

I'm sure you need at least a bit of talent for that.

[bringbackgold]

Not necessarily. I believe if you want it you can do it.

[anthropophagite]

I think I just see things differently in my case. I'm not good at a lot of things, even after I try to do them.

[bringbackgold]

So you stop trying?

[anthropophagite]

I prefer to focus on what I'm good at, instead.

[ Otabek's never fancied himself a very motivational person, so... he sort of drops it there. ]

What is that?

[anthropophagite]

Literature. I know a lot about books.

[bringbackgold]

Oh? I never had much time to read.

[ He could stand to make some, though. ]

Do you have any favorites?
