If You Have Ghosts (You Have Everything)

That's a title of the song originally written and performed by Roky Erickson. But I'd like to focus on the band who covered it and its performance became even more famous. And of top of that it's called Ghost. According to Wikipedia, the one and only credible source, the band was formed in 2008 in Sweden and  includes 7 (holy number) nameless ghouls who are responsible for all the instrumental part during live shows. Moreover, they change their costumes and masks every album they release. The same rules apply to the leader of the group - Tobias Forge who happened to have 5 incarnations meanwhile.  He has performed as Papa Emeritus, Papa Emeritus II, Papa Emeritus III, Cardinal Copia and recently as Papa Emeritus IV. A revealing of the new persona usually comes with strong emotions among fans. I had a chance to participate in Ghost's concert last year for the very first time and witnessed the incarnation of Cardinal Copia, which was an amazing experience. The choice of t...

Urban Nation Museum

Guten Morgen/Tag/Abend or whichever time of the day it is. Every cloud has a silver lining, so has my blog. Inspired by a recent lesson, I decided to share my fave museum's story. Last year, about the same time I took a quick city break to explore some art in our neighbour's country with my friend. Berlin seemed to be the best option for us and it appeared to have many lovely corners. Nevertheless, it was the Urban Nation Museum that we enjoyed the most. First of all, the entrance is totally free of charge which was important for us, 2 broken girls (pun intended). However, there was a possibility to donate some money inside. And I think that's quite a nice solution since murals that decorate the building outside are often changed. We had a chance to spot this one which was designed by Dima Rebus from Russia. However, the inside was compelling as well. There was an initiative to create some street and urban's pieces due to vandalism which was frequently reflected well......

Duolingo and HI by the way!

I didn't introduce myself properly previously, so I have two simple words for y'all: I'll be writing about some random things, which may be not necessarily smart or enriching. But I'll try to do my best. I'm mostly interested in slacking around, movies and novels of all kinds (I guess I'm some sort of nerd), painting... And maybe learning languages. And today I wanted to focus on the last of my hobbies. There are plenty of apps that cater for developing a communication in a foreign language, but I don't find them to be of much use. I'm rather type of a person who learns languages by watching or reading some stuff in a target language and then repeat it out loud. However, I had watched an SNL material that made me inspired and I really need to share it with you. Let's start from the very beginning. Last year, an SNL's team decided to invite Kristen Stewart to their show, and she played in a few sketch comedies. One of them concerned Doulingo, an a...

Not so joyful news

Unfortunately I'm not going to reboot this blog with some joyful news. That's because there is a far more important matter right now, which has an enormous impact on my (and not only my) further life. And I've never wanted so badly to move to another country as I do now. I may expect that many of you are aware of the recent decision of the Constitutional Tribunal, widely known as the ban on abortion in a case of defect in a fetus. Sounds like a dystopian apocalyptic script for a movie, right? Sadly, these things do happen in Poland nowadays. These things do happen in a developed country in Middle Europe. And this cruel regulation seems like the worst case scenario for many women. In times like this, it is essential to keep abreast of what's going on in our country. 2 popular organizations that I follow, provide information about this topic and offer help for any woman in need. They are known as: Stonewall and Dziewuchy Dziewuchom . You can follow them on FB or Instagram...
