Roommate: Hey, do you watch "America's Got Talent?"
Me: No.
Roommate: Well, I'm sending you this anyway.
[Roommate types (you can hear clicking noises)]
Roommate: It's a video of the winner of the Ukrainian version of that show.
[I look up, one eyebrow raised]
Roommate: She paints with sand. She does this whole thing about the Nazis invading the Ukraine during World War II.
[Both of my eyebrows are now raised as high as physiologically possible]
Me: Seriously?
Roommate: Just watch it. It's mesmerizing.
And darned if he wasn't right. This video is 8:33 long but worth every second. I was immediately tempted to make a joke along the lines of "The Ukraine has talent?" but after watching this video...I mean, wow. She is good. I do have to tell you one thing about the end (and no, this does not give anything away). What she writes translates to, "You are always near."
