In prima parte am inceput mai general, cu citate din Nietzsche si o lista iutub. Aici-sa zicem cu detalii si carti existentialiste si general-introductive.

Uichendu' trecut nu mi-au iesit toate pasientele, si m-am gandit sa ma confesez si sa-nghit niste carbohidrati imbibati in vin dup-aia. Si uite-asa m-am trezit cumparand un belet pe care de fapt il castigasem...

In fiecare an de 1 Aprilie, ma-mbrac in scutece de adult si ma astern la comfuter sa vad ce le-a mai kkt scornit mintea tembelilor de pe interneatza. De obicei rad. Mult. Motive pentru care, de altfel, am si scutecele pe mine.

Asta-i un titlu mult prea fain ca sa-l ratez. Pentru cei care nu le au cu romgleza, seamen inseamna marinari, semen inseamna sperma. Cel mai probabil acesti semeni ai nostri were free(d) to cum home. 

Pus la treaba de Karla, care ma-ntreba in articolul precedent despre calendarul crestin ortodox 2010 cand cade Pastele Catolic in 2010, am purces a ma informa nu numa' despre cel Catolic, ci de toate Pastele si Rumegarile care este.

Jinduiesc la concerte.. Inca nu m-am hotarat la nici unul. Ar trebui sa merg la EdgeFest by default, si-apoi macar unul dintre ATP si Lolla..

The latest news item about the Romanian Royal House (more precisely, King Mihai's daughter) is not particularly flattering to them, but is an excellent metaphor for state violence, in continuation of the previous article, on the police brutality incident suffered by a Romanian dentist in Alberta.

"O femeie" ridica niste probleme foarte interesante ca raspuns in articolul precedent din serie, motiv pentru care ma vad nevoit sa le raspund. Si cum raspunsul meu este cel putin la fel de lung pe cat comentariul dumneaei, il pun intr-un articol.

Dupa introducerea din partea I si discutia despre afaceri si carti din partea a II, ajungem la rascoale si obsesii, care fac obiectul acestei ultime parti.

Am avut un week-end destul de plin, si ca de obicei, mi-au iesit numai 30% din chestiile pe care mi le-am dorit.

It's a sad day for Ioan Pop, his family, and Romanian Christian Orthodoxy in general, but on the bright side, the abused women are finally getting some closure and Ioan Pop won’t have a chance to repeat his weird brand of sexual religiosity. As usual, I am not content with only reporting on the news; I have a few other things to say.

Munca pana la epuizare se numeste karoshi in Japonia, unde o gramada de oameni muncesc pana mor. In Romania acesta este un fenomen care a aparut relativ recent in vizorul mass-mediei, cam totodata cu fenomenul "urban". Si tot relativ recenta este aparitia cartii "Bonjour Paresse!" sau Bonjur Lene, care este practic un spoof al gramezii de carti de management scrise sa te-ajute sa inoti prin meandrele concretului.

Incepusem sa vorbesc in primul articol despre cum vaz eu lucrurile si-n special conjectura l3st. Ici-sha trecem din planul ideatic in parcarea din spatele blocului si cercetam ce e de facut.

The stuff I haven't told you yet about Anaughtia (see previous and still unfinished, at this time, article) is on my mind, fighting its way into a sequel. But it will be a while. There are other stories for other blogs that also searching for a way out of my head. Until then, a somewhat easier subject, on Sweden.

I recently read about the Battle of Gallipoli (subject also of a movie with Mel Gibson from back when he still was, apparently, cuter than crazy) and it reminded me of a famous epic poem by the Romanian national poet, Mihai Eminescu.

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).

The current culture clash about some Norwegian child welfare agency having seized a Romanian couple’s children over physical discipline and the ensuing protests coming mostly from religious groups has a recognizable background: it’s a rehashing of the century-old conservative vs liberal quarrel. I have respect and admiration for Norway and their altruistic, enlightened and generous foreign policy and foreign aid, but this case may be more than just that.

Ca si anul trecut sau 2009, Zamolxis iti aduce primul premiile Darwin abia anuntate, spre delectare si evitare. Premiile Darwin comemoreaza pe cei care, in mod involuntar, imbogatesc calitatea fondului genetic universal prin autoeliminare.

Lumea arde si eu mi-am pus sablon nou. Au aparut o gramada de probleme dar, din pacate, nu am timp sa le rezolv. Asa ca merg inainte, urmand sa corectez problemele in cateva zile, cand voi avea mai mult timp. Pan-atunci, sa ne-atintim privirea-n lume.

Unlike most of my Romanian friends, who are angered by the details of the 112/police (EMS) response to Alexandra Macesanu’s increasingly desperate calls, I am far more upset by police colonel, university professor and forensic psychologist Tudorel Badea Butoi-Severin and the inconsequential censure by CNCD following his deeply offensive, misogynistic, victim-blaming comments. I believe that the hostility and inadequacy of the police response is rooted in the attitude that Prof Butoi has expressed and this bigotry is the root cause of police inaction and incompetence.
