Ačiū, tai toks dėmesingas gestas,“ – sako ji su nuoširdžia šypsena.En: "Oh, this is wonderful, Rokas! Thank you, it’s such a thoughtful gesture," she says with a sincere smile.Lt: Aldas, linktelėdamas, vis dar bando pasakoti pokštus apie kiaušinio reikšmę, tačiau Milda ir Rokas tik kartu juokiasi.En: Aldas, nodding, is still attempting jokes about the significance of the egg, but Milda and Rokas just laugh together.Lt: Atskirta kiekvieno juoko banga pamažu nuplauna bet kokius Rokų abejones.En: Each wave of laughter gradually washes away any of Rokas's doubts.Lt: Jis jaučiasi drąsiau ir labiau pasitikintis savimi.En: He feels bolder and more confident.Lt: Dabar, kai diena pasibaigė, kavinėse besidriekiantis kvapas ir saulė pro langus nutvieskia miesto centrą, Rokas supranta vieną dalyką.En: Now, as the day ends, with the café’s aroma lingering and the sun shining through the windows of the city center, Rokas realizes one thing.Lt: Svarbiausia, kokie jausmai už dovanos slypi.En: What matters most are the feelings behind a gift.Lt: Sincerumas – stipriausias būdas išreikšti savo tikrus jausmus.En: Sincerity is the strongest way to express true feelings.

Christmas Short Works Collection 2017 by Various ciesse This year's Christmas collection of short stories, poems and non-fiction features 29 readings in English, Lithuanian, Spanish and Romanian. Unstoppable Farce; The Mitch Maloney Story Mitch Maloney Unstoppable Farce tells the story of "Mr. Mirth" himself, in his own words, beginning with forty-five years of what might generously be described as a wasted existence before he decided to become the most successful FC (Famous Comedian) of all time. He describes how he created his Lithuanian Chupacabra alter ego, honed his signature Cheezy Pleezers bit, and became a viral sensation on Qlip Qlop and H!jnx. He dishes the dirt on touring with Hannah Gadsby and Dave Chapelle, what really went down behind the scenes at SNL, and what it was like to be the first (and last) comedian to play the Acropolis. And that's just the beginning. This audio production was made possible by the Seventh Reformed Church of Latter Day Witnesses. Audio engineering by Darbeliostriumopolatrius Macodivetticus. Theme music: "Ouchy" written and performed by Muddy Mitch with Sweet Tooth Delacroix. Monssun Monssun Monssun - Simonas Gudavičius is a Lithuanian musician & producer coming from Siauliai/Vilnius.
