"Little birds" is the English mot-a-mot translation of bijboace, clampacioace, fofoloance. Just the other day, a Latvian friend visited me and brought me as a gift some candy from her native country. And as she explained laughing and blushing, the candy name had a dual meaning.

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).

I've a bad habit of opening tons of tabs as I research topics, then forget to close them as I move on to new knowledge pastures. I was yesterday greeted by a loud motherboard alarm as it was overheating. Normally, I just dump them into my various Tumblr blogs, but today, as I close my tabs, I'll dump them into this article.

I’ve two heavy things on my mind right now, and unlike WhatsApp frustrations, I don't think I'll be able to balance them with some happier, care-free thoughts. The second part of the title was inspired by a comment left by Blegoo about a year ago.

Articolul meu de ziua mamei este mai sarac si confuz decat cel de ziua tatalui, si m-am gandit sa-i scriu un sequel. Vorbeam recent cu o prietena despre contraceptive, ocazie cu care am aflat ca ea si-ar fi dorit o pilula care blocheaza menstruatia, dar i s-a spus ca nu exista. Ca fost sex counsellor, mi s-a facut parul maciuca, ceea ce-i notabil, dat fiind ca-s ras in cap.

Asa cum am aflat ieri, Christina Applegate, care-a jucat-o pe Kelly Bundy in Married... with Children, este un pic altfel. Ca orice admirator de pneumonie, nu pot decat sa plang.

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.

Am decis sa public o scrisoare primita in urma cu 10 ani si 3 luni. Este fix genul de scrisoare pe care nu as putea-o publica in intregime pe acest blog, intrucat nu intentionez s-o supun discutiei. The unencrypted introduction is probably self-explanatory as to why encryption must be used for the rest of it.

Tocmai a fost dat publicitatii un studiu facut pe orfanii din Romania. Vad ca nimeni n-as scris despre asta, asa ca ma grabesc s-o fac eu.

O stire de la Crestin Ortodox . ro ma indeamna cu strasnicie si cuvioasa curiozitate sa vaz ce se mai intampla si pe saitul lor, intru propovaduirea dreptei credinte catre intreaga suflare a neamului.

So many scandals in Romania, so little time. It's hard to decide what to write about. I can't read Romanian news - everything is clickbait and when I try reading something, I invariably find grammar, spelling or logic (or all of the above) mistakes. I choose to write about a "scandal" that happened toward the end of March, because none of the opinions I've read explain what's going on to my level of perception.

I don't how much I will end up writing and whether or not I will password-protect part of it - I just know that I do. If it’s not obvious, the title makes reference to a movie about mother-daughter love with Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson (clips: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).

Am tot amanat sa scriu un articol pe tema asta fiindca nu m-am simtit suficient de informat. Si cand colo, intreband in stanga si-n dreapta, pan-acum nici unul din prietenii mei romani din Toronto nu stia ca se voteaza.

Am inceput acum cateva zile un exercitiu de exquisite corpse pe baza textului partial al unui autor a carui identitate am ascuns-o. A sosit momentul sa dezvalui aceasta identitate, impreuna cu restul textului.

Mno, o poveste numai cu blonde cracanele ar fi incompleta. Musai ii sa va zic si eu despre o bruneta. Si stiu ca e-aiurea sa va zic de ea fara poza, mai bine zis fara poza reala, dar e atat de buna incat nu i-as face poza publica sub nici o forma..

Contemplating the inevitable death of a relative is tough. It's been on my mind for the past few days and I can't shake it. Death is inevitable in itself, but when the sand in the hourglass has accelerated its fall due to a voracious cancer diagnosis, for many it becomes far scarier. I tried to take it in stride, but its unavoidability is still depressing. Even the Simpsons episode with Homer dying with a bucket list containing “make peace with dad” is not as distracting as it could be.

Imi place Google, chiar daca mi-au suspendat contul AdSense fara explicatie, ca apoi sa mi-l reinstaureze fara sa-si ceara scuze. Probabil ca mi-ar place si mai mult dac-as fi cumparat stock la IPO, dar mi s-a parut overpriced si am asteptat o corectie... care nu a mai venit. But it's all good.

Dupa o intreurpere temporara destinata unei discutii a “neanonimitatii” si a motivatiilor acesteia, revenim la seminariu si (z)oile noastre din blogo.ro-oaie.

A relatively recent tragic murder and Munchausen by proxy case is a pretext to look at how Romani / Gypsy / Roma people are perceived, the guilt of their children and mob mentality.

Incepusem sa "adaptez" cateva din poeziile lui Frost. Aici il las pe Marin Sorescu s-o adapteze.
