I recently wrote a poem for a poem for a friend who was seemingly fading away in the background. She had posted this self-accusatory and spelling-challenged photo and then went on and on commenting some stupid blog.

Spuneam intr-un articol precedent ca nu voi participa la roblogfest si, mai mult, ii voi vota pe toti cei din blogroll care mi-o vor cere printr-un mesaj twitter cu URL. Si m-am gandit - ce-ar fi sa fac din asta o chestie de grup?

Desi una din primele modificari facute unui nou blog de blogger, n-am scris nicodata pe larg despre acest subiect si poate-a venit momentul. Exista mai multe instructiuni in engleza dar nu am gasit nici una in romana.

De mai multa vreme cititorii imi spun ca blogul meu se-ncarca mult prea lent. Am izolat doua scripturi care introduceau intarzierea maxima in timpul de incarcare (TI) si le-am scos. Discut in continuare cum am identificat problemele de incarcare si cum am analizat utilitatea / inutilitatea lor. Nu e perfect, dar e mai bine.

Am vazut nu demult chestii scrise cu fundu-n sus, si m-am intrebat daca pot pune asta si pe blogul meu. Decoamdata nu merge, probabil din pricina vreunui conflict sau greseli - o repar mai incolo, daca am timp.

(I’d place the last word of the title in quotation marks, but they’d get escaped, causing the title to look silly.) Recently, Francois Hollande, the French president who looks like a Mickey Mouse (not Victor Ponta, the real, trademarked one), allowed the press to take photos of him and his lover. I suspect the show is put on so that the French people can convince themselves that they still have a heterosexual president. "Is his lover a woman? Are you sure? Well, then we can keep drinking wine, eating cheese and live long!" Meanwhile, I'm annoyed as hell that a friend of mine won't (or pretends she does not) get my jokes.

Citeam recent in buda despre o emisiune, momentu' adevarului, descrisa de Buddha. Si nu mi-au placut concluziile si interpretarile lui. Si-n loc sa-i bag un comment, care-ar fi fost foarte lung, m-am gandit ca mai bine scriu un articol in tema.

Am avut recent o scurta discutie cu Elhunes pe twitter. Este despre gramatica, o arta greu de stapanit pentru romanul emigrant, in special pentru cel care se adapteaza tarii adoptive.

I continue with my answer to a friend, started in asa.zamo.ca/immigrate2canada.

Am aflat recent despre un test care ar deduce daca esti barbat sau femeie pe baza preferintelor tale. Asta-i genul de test care-i oripileaza pe unii (sau unele). Eu sunt insa curios sa identific diferentele. Totusi, nu vei gasi aici un test similar celui cu dreapta vs stanga.

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.

A while back I had an overseas guest misbehaving. I had invited her for a longer stay in Canada but it turned out she had difficulties living without regular fights. I offered to make a reservation at a hostel and cover her costs at a hostel for the rest of her stay but she refused and I was eventually bribed to give in due to my membership affiliation.

Ioan Pop, the priest with the All Saints Romanian Orthodox Church was just charged with sexual assault at church. Apparently, a woman barely escaped only after a couple walked in on what was going on.

Un articol din SciAm ne spune ca bacteriile care ne colonizeaza influenteaza dezvoltarea creieirului si personalitatea. Sa fie oare asta explicatia mamaligii care nu explodeaza si a fricii romanilor de a calatori?

I keep reading about Romanian Police incompetence and I can tell you that I’ve seen far worse here in Toronto. I learned about former cop and current “forensic psychologist” Butoi telling us why a living girl’s carbonized remains ended up in a barrel (cf Romanian “butoi”). And beyond all these facts, inadequacies and incompetence, the question we want to answer even though we know we can’t is why?

I promised a reader to answer a thoughtful provocation on Herta Mueller and I finally keep (or try to) my word. I am replying to Mr Mihail Lungu in regards to how opportune and appropriate was my declared enthusiasm for her work and her Nobel.

Taman cand incepusem spornic sa-mi pun in aplicare diabolicul plan de a-mi reduce participarea in blogo.ro-oaie, Mircea Popescu ma intarata si atata din sfarcuri catre o dezbatere pe tema schimbarii climatice globale, sau, cum ii spune el, incalzirea globala.

My reservations notwithstanding, I suspect most of the people who voted for Iohannis do not really know who he is, apart from the fact that he is not Ponta. I'm trying to bring a bit more color and background to his wooden personality.

Am descoperit un nou PA si am numai cateva minute sa-i raspund (da, stiu ca urma sa-l continui pe cel precedent, dar ma gandesc ca nu-i o idee rea sa intru in hora oficiala).

Based on my mistaken belief that there may be people reading this, I go ahead with my recommendations, after the intro and Asia. PISA is not just a set of tests, it comes with suggestions and recommendations.
