Good luck on your film Evgenia! It sounds so amazing and one of my favorite genres. I am also so looking forward to listening to this new episode with my mom as we drive cross country on my exodus out of LA.

Good luck on your film Evgenia! It sounds so amazing and one of my favorite genres. I am also so looking forward to listening to this new episode with my mom as we drive cross country on my exodus out of LA.
I am in a very close relationship with a Moscow boy who lives in the US now too and you pinpointed the mood perfectly -- the grim black and white portion of life before you get the new blender. We endlessly butt heads over this as he constantly complains about how terrible Russia is because he still wants to believe in the illusion presented of America. I, on the other hand tell him -- well look -- we've got the new blender, but that doesn't mean much of anything with my $50k in student loans and inability to afford a home or have healthcare.
I don't want to pretend to know what life is like in Russia, I just get infuriated by the claim that America is so great cause of these new blenders haha. As always appreciate your reads on this topic and this one particularly makes me feel more sane!
Moving back to the opposite coastal liberal hellhole haha. To my demise, It's always either NY or LA for me, but in this instance all of my family is in NY. I initially moved here for school, but after 6 years of living paycheck to paycheck and dying in the heat every summer, I figured I may as well live paycheck to paycheck, closer to family.
That mood used to be real — def felt like a more vibrant life “after the purchase” when I first moved. I loved those магазин на диване commercials as a kid though. People had such huge white psychotic smiles there.

Where are you moving too? LA feels like a final destination)
