Daca ai obiceiul sa ma citesti, iti amintesti poate de articolul in care descriam situatiile de mita din imigratie, ca raspuns la interviul cu o prietena unde ea imi spunea ca nu exista spaga in Canada. Ei bine, judecatorul cu pricina a fost gasit vinovat de "tradarea increderii" si "luare de mita".

I had a pact with a German friend to write the stories of our first time (not together, but rather the cherry-popping kind). She chickened out, and I, rather than publish my story unilaterally (which I might do in the end, quite possibly passworded), I've decided to tell you another one.

I just discovered a new TV series and it's awesome but you shouldn't watch it because you're not going to understand it. Only I can.

Un prieten din New York publica intr-o expozitie din Brasov. Nu mi-este foarte clar ce publica, dar m-am gandit sa public si eu despre el. Afisul e alaturi. Expozitia nu-i cu Mircea Badea, dar articolul, da. :) Si cu ~, mai precis.

Let us explore and make a bit of historical fun of the announcement of Louis CK stepping on Cage’s path, in Romania – a story that may be false and could possibly be fake. Most importantly, CK stands for a Hungarian name, which is why my Romanian compadres might worry that they are being invaded by the Great Hungarian Junta using Louis as a Trojan condom. 

Un articol recent publicat de Gheorghe Funar intr-un ziar constantean anunta ca aceasta ar fi ajuns la 140 de miliarde de euro. Datoria externa a unei tari pare sa streseze multi din cetatenii acesteia si in acelasi timp este putin inteleasa. Ne uitam nitel la motivele stress-ului si la cat este de indreptatit.

Incepusem sa discut in partea I datoria externa a Romaniei, starnit de o afirmatie facuta de Gheorghe Funar cum ca aceasta ar fi ajuns la 140 de miliarde de euro. Desi ar trebui sa reiasa din episodul anterior, aici ajungem la o oarecare concluzie in aceasta privinta.

Cu multi, multi ani in urma, cand eram in faculta, luasem un curs de franceza. Am publicat deja primul eseu scris in acel curs, despre primul meu sarut. Recent, am dat peste cineva care aborda cam aceeasi problema. Si m-am gandit sa public prostioara asta.

Am invitat niste pretenari la o seara de film, si cum am trimis invitatia nitel cam tarziu, m-am gandit s-o pun si-aici pentre cei care - ca si mine - isi citesc Reader-ul si Twitter-ul mai des decat email-ul.

In week-end-ul ce taman a trecut, o fundatie i-a invitat pe cei doi fosti presedinti (G. W. Bush si Bill Clinton) la o sezatoare in Toronto. Frank McKenna, fost ambasador canadian in US i-a moderat si regulat.

Citeam recent in bucurenci.ro un articol milestone – marcheaza intrarea in vocabularul meu a cuvantului sogor si a lui Dragos in lumea celor usor incorecti politic. Este un articol pe care nu m-as fi asteptat sa-l citesc la Dragos intrucat poate fi interpretat ca fiind usor sexist.

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.

I've read this news recently and was not going to react, except that I've read that an acquaintance has actually met this person. It's about a Romanian dentist who was viciously beaten in Edmonton by a sheriff.

LE: The dashcam video of her arrest was released January 12 - find the link at the end.

Cu multe secole in urma incepusem sa comentez scrisoarea unui roman din USA catre casa. In primul episod am vorbit despre San Francisco si alte generalitati, in al doilea despre telefonie, iar aici vom vorbi despre finante si carduri.

Promisesem (mie si celuilalt computer care citeste blogu' asta) c-o sa povestesc de fazele cand am fost prins cu matza-n sac sau, cum se zice aici in Canada, cu desthu-n.. uhm, umed si lipicios. Si-ncep cu Nude Child, ca de ea ma leaga cele mai dure amintiri.

Having recently come back from a trip to Calgary, a friend of mine was showing me beautiful photos of a snowy mountain, with real pine forests covered by snow, which all conjured up in my mind the image of the ski camp where I used to spend all of my winter holiday, and more, all throughout my school years in Romania.

De cativa ani de zile, citim din ce in ce mai des despre lipsa acuta de forta de munca din Romania. De pilda, intr-un articol recent din BIRN- Romania seeks to bring workers home, Romania anunta ca isi va intensifica eforturile de a-si tine muncitorii acasa ca raspuns la lipsa din titlu.

The Romanian expression would be “niste carnati expirati” though in English I could’ve called them hotdogs or patsies just the same. Now, I owe a new installment in an older series, due to a debt born in comments; I know that and I’ll get to it eventually. However, this one is simpler and takes less time to write, which is why I am writing it now, quickly.

In my previous election adventures, I have relied heavily on the 'testvote' application and even shared and commented my results with you, my readers. I was planning to do the same this time, then I noticed something peculiar: all the candidates have virtually the same position! Upon further investigating, it appeared that either the application has been updated in the meantime or there was an error due to poor Internet connectivity and bad coding.

In articolul despre MaraTOROn, am mentionat Kiva.org, proiectul bazat pe ideea de microfinantare pentru care fondatorul (Yunus) a primit premiul Nobel. Astazi am facut primul imprumut caritabil unei doamne din Republica Moldova si alteia din Liban si sunt grozav de multumit.
