* she was a film major and is a total film snob. in fact she's even snobbier than me, and i think the only person i've met who's snobbier is named TOBY. she lent me The Third Man and The Bicycle Thief (she has a lot of good DVDs) and we went to the video store together, where she rented Kieslowski's Decalogue (I-III).
* she spent a year in the hospital when she was eight because of Chernobyl. she said her family found out about it from a relative in America who called and were like "Are you guys okay??" and they were like sure, why not? and he was like "Because a nuclear reactor just exploded right next to you?" and they were like "Wasn't it just some minor thing?" and the relative's like FLEE MINSK NOW! nice job, Soviets.
