I’m becoming a Nastase hater. Can’t this guy just disappear from news altogether, or realize that we’re no longer in the 50s and the 70s are over?!

It happened a week ago, but I needed some time to sort out my feelings. It’s complicated, because Alexandra Dulgheru is Romanian (i.e., from my native country) and Eugenie Bouchard is Canadian (i.e., from my adoptive country). Alex is nicer and a winner, Genie is a blonde, confirming the stereotypes that come with that categorization.

I wasn’t planning to write about this game, even though it impressed me and it’s the biggest victory in Romanian tennis. But my Internet is off right now, it will take a while to restore and between writing this article and playing some silly games, writing wins.

[tags]brancusi, frauda, Saatchi, UK[/tags] Mi-am indemnat recent cititorii sa-l voteze pe Brancusi in topul Saatchi. Din pacate, impresia noastra (ca voturile lui Brancusi au scazut recent) pare confirmata.

I suspect there is a 'TestVote' application for each member country of the EU. I decided to follow my own recommendation from Romanian MEP elections in Toronto and go through this, just before voting. Since there is very likely an English one in existence, and the English vote has already concluded, this article has the questions left in original, in Romanian.

Blegoo, previously profiled and published here, took some time off from shovelling to write an article for this blog, as a guest. I’m publishing it here as encouragement (longer version), with the spelling mistakes left uncorrected but listed at the end, and also detailing there the formatting work I (still) had to do.

I'll be writing this article in both English and Romanian. Partea engleza va avea de-a face cu diferentele dintre romani si tigani, cea in romana cu inutilitatea acestei "lupte". Both domains affected do not presently resolve.

M-a deranjat intotdeauna rasismul la romani si argumentele gen "hai sa-i belim pe tigani, ca si altii au facut la fel". Cand ma pronunt impotriva acestor atitudini, o fac nu pentru ca altii n-au facut la fel, ci taman d-aia. Continui deci sa descriu politicile discriminatorii din trecutul Lumii Noi.

As I’ve done in the past, I am publishing here my resolutions, mostly for this blog and wish all my readers La Multi Ani, Feliz Navidad (better late than never, right?) and A Happy New Year!

Dupa ce in prima parte am discutat cazurile cele mai cunoscute de pedofilie belgiana impreuna cu incercarile incununate cu succes de a masca evidenta si de a-i scapa cu basma curata pe vinovati, discutam contextul cultural mai larg si impresii nitel mai subiective. Si-azi e Marti, deci e iarasi Belgia!

I am EXTATIC!!!! N-am auzit de ea inainte sa fi castigat premiul Nobel, cum n-auzisem nici de francezul care a castigat in 2008, dar cu cat citesc mai mult, cu atat ma excit mai tare! E musai s-mpartasesc ce aflu cu cei 2-3 oameni care ma citesc, poate iau si eu un Hertzer sau un BlogIdol. Voi incepe sa scriu acest ghid prin a face mai mult spatiu sub birou.

In Vest, reclamele de tigari pentru femei sunt poveste veche, inceputa pe la sfarsitul anilor ‘60 de catre Philip Morris cu reclama pentru Virginia Slims: you’ve come a long way, baby, reclama care impletea produsul respectiv cu emanciparea femeii si feminismul acelor vremuri (vezi clipurile din surse si din partea I).
