/I’m in the sunroom of my apartment in Ekaterinburg, lying naked on the floor, hallucinating because of the heat.  I'm melting on a rock next to a lake in Siberia, listening to Roman's stories about medieval Ukrainian queens. I'm in a theatre in Berlin, rubbing my neck with ice cubes, watching Jared Leto die in a Belgian science fiction film. I'm passed out on a beach on the Ligurian coast, suffering happily from heat stroke and a limencello-induced hangover/ Me, summer 2010
