A while back, I had started a series dedicated to poetry. I called it or Tuesday Poem, but it wasn't long lived. Let's try again.

the vcr has warped my fragile little mind

Yet another childhood photo is stirring up memories. This time is with colleagues and friends, rather than teachers.

The Sc Gn nr 197 Teachers  

Ţâpat in , ,

Somebody, somewhere, posted a photo with a few of my primary school (Scoala Generala nr. 197) teachers. The fear of forgetting gets me to share some memories here.

Intimations Aol 2–Strawberry Fields  

Ţâpat in , , ,

We were talking about stories never told and she confessed some early childhood game she used to play. As she had never told anyone, it took her a while and lots of encouragement to write it.

Wien to Vienna  

Ţâpat in ,

A friend asked me for advice on studying in Vienna vs Prague - just the kind of incentive I needed to spin the wheel of memories.

piercing emotions  

Ţâpat in ,

I need to commit some of my very recent memories to this blog, but precisely because everything happened so recently, I need to be even more ambiguous than usual.

Memories of Sweden  

Ţâpat in , ,

I keep talking about Sweden, but I don't think I've ever shared my personal memories. Time to do so.

When Pippi Grew Up  

Ţâpat in , ,

A while back, I wrote briefly about "Pippi Longstocking", a book I got as a gift from a German friend. It's famous in Europe - especially Germanic countries -

Horsing Around

There's been a lot of hoopla about horses and Romania lately. Let's summarize it.

Music by Adrian Enescu  

Ţâpat in

I didn't use to listen to a lot of pop, but Adrian Enescu is a composer responsible for more than 80% of the Romanian pop music I used to listen to as a kid. I thought it might be a good idea to share it with whomever might hold an interest in it.

Cum to Romania  

Ţâpat in , , , , , , , ,

@ziarul_gandul started #cometoromania on the heels of #avoidbritain 
Recently, a lot of cyber-ink has been flowing re: the British xenophobia and more specifically, the fear that waves of Romanians and Bulgarians will invade Britain in search of non-existent jobs or, even worse, of welfare payments.

a harsh intro to Marin Sorescu  

Ţâpat in ,

I have recently attended the “space” / poetry / jamming session I mentioned earlier and predictably, I chose to read a poem by Marin Sorescu. I thought I present it here as well.

zamo zamolxis zalmoxis

I am repeatedly getting inquiries from people who are upset that this blog isn't solely about Zamolxis, as its name might suggest to them. This shouldn't be difficult.

I am Z and I am a flirt-oholic  

Ţâpat in ,

We've met in a crowded room and her smile (or was it her ROTFL?) temporarily blinded me. I don't know why I find her so ubercool - maybe it's cuz I met her in the middle of winter and she’s such an all-around solar experience.

SuperWritings  

Ţâpat in ,

Only recently have I discovered the "Superscrieri Prizes" and I thought I share it with you – it’s quite interesting.

bully management (efectul 3leimedia II)  

Ţâpat in , ,

This is an article I started a while back as the continuation of another, but abandoned before completion. The article no longer reflected my feelings, it seemed exaggerated and somewhat hysterical. I rediscovered it recently, as I needed a reference buried in it.

beauty and the beast II  

Ţâpat in

There's a positive, uplifting effect to reliving memories it's especially useful to me now, that I fell on black days. And that's why I continue here with the that July.

beauty and the beast I  

Ţâpat in

I wanted to write a story on my Targus Bluetooth Keyboard paired to my Galaxy Nexus. It's a less used setup, but likely to become more permanent  due to my laptop / SSD getting busted. What would make a good story? Hard to tell, but it must be something that will write itself; otherwise, I'll have too many double letters and typos left uncorrected.
