So You Think You Can Dance??? /// Myslis si ze umis tancit???

So You Think You Can Dance is american dance show, like singing contest American Idol, but with dancing. It's over now, and the winner is Lauren Froderman, lovely little blonde girl from Phoenix.

For me, watching even the last three episodes of the show, was amazing. I've never seen such routines, such ideas, such performances before. Well, back in Moscow I've seen a lot of brilliant russian dancers, but this is somehow different. Because it's a competition, contestants work with professional choreographers, and for every routine they have different choreographer, who comes with something extraordinary. I love the variety of styles coming together in a fascinating mix that makes your heart run faster. Dancers are literally flying, they are so full of energy, full of joy and the best thing is - you can get it from them. Joy and excitement. Best disease ever!

Let's see Lauren's solo:

So You Think You Can Dance je americka tanecni show, neco jako soutez American Idol, ale tanecni. Soutez prave skoncila a vyhrala Lauren Froderman, roztomila mala blondynka z Phoenixu.

I kdyz jsem videla jen tri posledni dily souteze, bylo to pro me uzasny. Nikdy predtim jsem nevidela takovy styly, takovy napady, takova vystoupeni. Vlastne, v Moskve jsem videla dost vybornych ruskych tanecniku, ale tohle je nejak jiny. Je to soutez, takze soutezici pracuji s profesionalnimi choreografy a pro kazde vystoupeni (a kazdy typ tance) maji jineho choreografa, ktery vymysli neco neobycejnyho.
Miluju rozmanitost stylu, ktery se spojuji ve fascinujici mix co vam rozproudi krev v zilach. Tanecnici se doslova vznasi, jsou plni energie a radosti a nejlepsi na tom je, ze to od nich muzete chytit. Radost a nadseni. Nejlepsi choroba pod sluncem!

Tohle je podle me absolutni Laurenina spicka. Na tomhle vystoupeni uvidite, proc prave ona a nikdo jiny, vyhrala soutez a titul Nejoblibenejsi tanecnice Ameriky.

I listened to this song when I was feeling miserable. It helped. A lot.

Tohle jsem poslouchala kdyz jsem se citila mizerne, dost to pomahalo.

New world - new work /// Novy svet - nova prace

I came to U.S. because of a summer job. In fact, I came here to work as a door-to-door salesperson, independent dealer of educational books for kids and students. By the time I signed up for this, even by the time I got here and began my work, I had absolutely no clue that I'm the worst salesperson in the world. I mean, knocking at people's door is not as hard as it seems, as long as you don't meet many rude people. And I did this in Arkansas. It's South. People are friendly. And I'm the lucky owner of "the cutest accent you've ever heard", as I was told yesterday. Anyway, chatting with people was nice, but when it came to sales... I realized very soon that there's no way I can earn enough to even stay here until the end of the summer doing this.
There's also that funny thing about weather. It's hot in Arkansas. But that's not the worst thing - I kinda got used to the heat. Problem was the humidity. It's extremely high, sometimes it's even hard to breathe. I realized, that I desperately need to work inside - with an air-conditioner.
Fortunately, I was able to find another job, and now I work in a pizza restaurant and I'm looking forward to getting mu paycheck soon:)

Prijela jsem do Spojenych Statu kvuli letni brigade. Vlastne jsem sem prijela pracovat jako podomni prodejce, nezavisly dealer vzdelavacich knih pro deti a studenty. V dobe, kdy jsem se k tomuhle upsala, dokonce jeste v dobe kdy jsem prijela a zacala pracovat, jsem nemela ani stin podezreni. Fakt je ale ten, ze jsem ten nejhorsi prodejce na svete. Chci rict, samotne klepani na dvere neni tak tezke jak vypada, dokud nepotkate vylozene neprijemne lidi. Ja prodavala v Arkansasu. To je na Jihu. Lidi jsou pratelsti. A ja jsem stastny majitel "toho nejroztomilejsiho prizvuku co jste kdy slyseli", jak mi bylo receno vcera.
Zkratka a dobre, kecat s lidma bylo fajn, ale kdyz doslo na prodavani... Dost brzo jsem si uvedomila, ze pro me neni mozny si tomhle zpusobem vydelat ani tolik, abych mohla zustat v Americe do konce leta.
A pak je tu ta vec s pocasim. V Arkansasu je vedro. Ale to neni to nejhorsi - na horko jsem si tak nejak zvykla. Problem byla vzdusna vlhkost. Je fakt extremne vysoka, nekdy je tu tezky i dychat. Doslo mi, ze zoufale potrebuju pracovat uvnitr - s klimatizaci.
Nastesti jsem si nasla jinou praci a ted pracuju v pizzerii a tesim se, ze brzo dostanu vyplatu:)

UPD August 11, 2010/// UPD pro 11. srpen 2010

OK, from now I'm gonna try very hard to write every entry in both English and Czech. I'm sorry for neglecting Russian and German (that I can speak as well), but I truly believe that most of people from all over the world know and learn English. which is basically the reason for English being an international language. huh?

OK, takze odted se budu fakt snazit psat kazdy prispevek v anglictine i cestine. Omlouvam se za zanedbavani rustiny a nemciny (ktere ovladam rovnez), ale skutecne verim tomu, ze vetsina lidi v dnesnim svete umi nebo se uci anglicky. coz je v podstate hlavni duvod, proc je anglictina mezinarodni jazyk. nebo ne?

Hey there from Conway, Arkansas

Now that I'm in U.S. I decided to start writing my entries also in English. Yesterday I had a nice chat with my friend Stephen, who suggested me to translate some of my short stories from Czech to English. In fact, he told me that there's probably more English speaking guys than Czech speaking in the world. Which is obvious, but I hadn't think about it that much... Until yesterday.
Well. Right now I'm doing some research for my future movie. I'm trying to find something about wildlife, nature and stuff and I actually found pretty interesting website.
Here is the link. I mean, the website is kinda ordinary, but the campaign is worth people's attention, so check this out. In Kid's corner you can find some facts about carnivores. I really like this section:)

Ted kdyz jsem ve Spojenych Statech, rozhodla jsem se zacit psat svoje prispevky taky v anglictine. Vcera jsem si hezky popovidala s kamaradem Stephenem, ktery mi navrhnul, at prelozim nektere sve povidky z cestiny do anglictiny. Vlastne mi rekl, ze na svete pravdepodobne zije vic anglicky nez cesky mluvicich lidi. Coz je tak trochu zjevne, ale do vcerejska jsem o tom zas tak moc nepremyslela.
No dobre. Momentalne si vyhledavam nejake onformace pro svuj budouci film. Snazim se najit neco o divoce zijicich zviratech, prirode a tak a nasla jsem docela zajimavou stranku (v AJ).
Tadu je link. Chci rict, samotna stranka neni nic extra, ale prezentovana kampan stoji za pozornost, takze na to kouknete. V sekci Kid's corner najdete nejake informace o selmach. Mne se to zda super:)
