oh, you mean THAT desktop...

So, basically since the first week of arriving in Russia I've been suffering trying to get pictures on the web. The things I go through for you people. No, really, I do want to get pictures up because the weather is changing, and I'm meeting people and going places and I just don't know how to properly describe it all for you. But anyway, Veronica (my older exchange sister) took pity on me and got most of the pictures off my camera onto the computer before she flew off for Merry Old England. The problem is, I didn't know where she put them.
So. Yesterday morning, I mention this difficulty over the breakfast table. My host mother looked up over her sausages and said, "Pictures? They wouldn't be in a file marked Dzulia, would they?" Well, she didn't exactly say that, but I'm translating.
"Yes!" I said, astonished. "Where did you find them?" I'd been searching for quite some time.
"On the desk top," she said, returning to her sausages. I could not believe it. But there they were, sitting squarely in the center of the screen, the whole time. Things like this really make me wonder what my host family thinks of my intelligence level.
Without further ado...

Really thought you were going to get them that time didn't you? Don't be bitter, I thought so too. All right, so they aren't loading, so if you want them, please e-mail me and I'll try to send them as an attachment. Stop your griping. This is just as frustrating for me as it is for you.
