Nikita Khrushchev; despite his calming effect and significant departure from the policies of Stalin, this guy was pretty wacky. He's an interesting icon, because all we remember of him for the most part is Bay of Pigs, and his famous lines at the United Nations of "Мы вас похороним!", or "We will bury you!" while banging his shoe on the desk. Further research says he had a lot more to say, and that the quote was poorly transliterated, but...

Job at Wet Paint is going great- what's funny is that I've been dropped into Back To School season, which is making the air charged with excitement and kinetic energy. Very stimulating, but also making me realize I need a new pair of shoes. Oof!

We recently picked this up at the store- Yoropen. We've had for a while the more expensive versions of this ergonomic pen, but now we've got the Yoropen pen and pencil for the masses. This things are great at $3.00 a pop.

TTYL!

Here's a Soviet soldier, circa WWII. His gun is an AVS-36.
