Recent, Mary Roach a aparut la TED cu o noua prelegere. Si cum nu poti scrie niciodata prea mult despre sex, m-am gandit ca haide.

Sanatatea romaneasca a fost dintotdeauna la pamant. Probabil ca unul din motivele principale are de a face cu cateva tare culturale pe care le vom examina in curand, cat si cu faptul ca suntem, ca medie generala, niste tampiti.

Much to my surprise, a movie featuring Elisabeth Hurley and filmed entirely partly in Romania has no review that I can find.

N-am fost intrebat des unde-am fost de 9/11, si nici eu nu m-am grabit s-o spun. Si-asta pentru c-ar fi urmat replica "tzeara arde si..." whatevah. Nu c-ar fi fost prima data, si nu pentru ca imi pasa sau nu-mi pasa mai mult decat altora, dar cele mai mari dezastre din viata mea s-au cam intamplat fara mine. Deocamdata, 9/11, eventual in seria "calatorii sprancenate".

Povesteam nu demult despre criza sistemului de sanatate din Canada si in special din Ontario. Lipsa acuta de medici de familie se traduce in cozi la salile de urgenta. Si iata ca recent, un nene, suparat pe sistem a intrat intr-o statie de metrou si-a incercat sa omoare doi adolescenti.

Simona Halep just won the most important title in her career thus far (“Premier Mandatory”) by winning at Indian Wells in a disputed game against Jelena Jankovic (ceremony, part I, part II). This is the 3rd part, after bye-bye boobs and an aborted attempt to write about Simona Halep in the context of Romanian education.

One of the best known Romanian folk stories is that of "Human Stupidity", as told by a Romanian bard from Moldova, Ion Creanga – famous for his “Recollections from Childhood”. I haven't found an English translation online, so I decided to translate it myself with the help of Google.

I have recently attended the “space” / poetry / jamming session I mentioned earlier and predictably, I chose to read a poem by Marin Sorescu. I thought I present it here as well.

O foarte recenta decizie a Kurtii Supreme de prin coclaurile din sud (US) este momentan disecata si analizata de tot felu' de frustrati, in principal eu, dar si avocati si cei din anturajul lor. Statutory rape face victime nebanuite, iar in timp ce in Ro pustimea face turism de avort, in Vancouver da ortu' popii si-n NYC sare-n cap.

Am fost intrebat de unde vine titlul blogului si n-am raspuns, pentru ca raspunsul ar fi fost mult prea lung. Dar la un moment dat ceva, cumva trebuie sa ofer ca raspuns. Am decis sa-ncep c-un articol mai mult sau mai putin enciclopedic despre Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra si – intr-un viitor apropiat - Zamolxis.

... e probabil jocul vietii si al mortii in desertul de cenusa. Turambar (1) descopera recent un film din anii 30 (2), si se exprima despre el in limba engleza. Si pune si puoze de-ti vine sa te uiti la film numaidecat. Si eu nu poci pentru ca sa nu ma-ntreb daca nu cumva ctp a fost inspirat de filmu' asta cand a scris Cassargoz..

Am fost invitat la o petrecere cu tema de discuri de pick-up. Astea-s discurile alea vechi care-au fost demult inlocuite de CD-uri, si-acum sunt folosite numai de die-hards si de DJs. Poza de-alaturi e nitel cenzurata. :)

Only recently have I discovered the "Superscrieri Prizes" and I thought I share it with you – it’s quite interesting.

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.

It’s been a while since we haven’t talked about poverty in Romania and solutions. A recent “debate” caused by an over-the-top article on not giving money to the poor gives us a chance to look at it again and also address our reticence with BDSM practices.

The video of Dr Simona Tibu's arrest and assault has recently been released (cbc-video), after a protracted legal battle. What is debatable is to what extent is this a case of police brutality / use of unnecessary and excessive force, or white female entitlement.

Were the two girls, of each at least one lives in London and was traveling back home, subject to unwarranted aggression, or were they able to transform their own arrest into a long-winded drama, at the expense of the image and reputation of the Romanian Police?

Cateodata  am chef sa ma uit la clipuri de muzica, dar nu orice. Cele mai tari, cele mai populare, cele mai vizionate si top of the charts nu ma reprezinta intotdeauna, nu-mi regasesc gusturile in ele. Iata de ce aceste 40-45 clipuri ma incanta – raman cu tine o vreme..

Recent, in Canada, intr-un autobuz Greyhound s-a petrecut o crima destul de neplacuta, in special daca esti cel care a murit. Si Diana cu chestiile ei mici zice despre autobuzul cu oameni pe moarte. Si eu imi amintesc de Halebarda lu' Sorescu.
