disgusting insects, food crusted over the keyboard,

Lightening: FO EM & ENECS
It’s difficult to express my attitude towards the stage in a full paragraph,
carrying within themselves sharp antipathy or, conversely, ardent love
to the phenomenon that is included free of charge with your Spectrum,
but perhaps also for emulators. Emulators are good now.
As a matter of fact, I have never felt that
an irresistible need for many to rise to the occasion and
bend down, turning part of your excretory towards the audience
systems. Because I feel much calmer when this is vital

I was once incredibly excited by bouncing dot balls
and grids agonizing in three spatial coordinates along

decadent habit, lazily looking at the next screen
action and withwith a sense of one’s own coolness to instill in the same

who makes faces on stage, trying to lure the audience towards him from
first rows. Without an audience, stage performance degenerates into
the most boring masturbation and self-torture.
In theory, CAFE should have a relatively large

The emerging trend of transition of electronic publications to HTML
causes nausea. There is no HTML on Spectrum. There is no Spectrum in HTML.
The disappearance of major publications, although rarely published, is unlikely
will be replenished in a short time - both in terms of quantity (volume) and
and in terms of quality (in principle, a very slippery topic), at least
because most manufacturers of electronic waste paper

Stage Presscomes out rarely and causes acute
bouts of optimism. She is beautiful and gives the opportunity to take communion
to the Great Spectrum Stage. The texts are intended for stagers,
but dissenters may well enjoy the design - it’s on
height. Where is the result of mysterious stage manipulations,
declarations of love and beating yourself in the chest with your left heel?
