In a recently published article on Euronews (en-roadfat), Alice Tidey asks the question where in Europe are roads deadliest; the answer is posted even before the question: Romania. We decipher a recent “ProTV News” news segment (spt-victime) where Titi Aur, a “defensive driving instructor”, reveals a deeply seated murderous misunderstanding in terms of the rules of the road, a misunderstanding that he shares.

I recently read a longer article on Bloomberg about Romania and its lagging infrastructure - more specifically, roads and highways. Much to my surprise, all that I was reading on other blogs (or hearing from my relatives) was described and explained as facts. (blmbrg-cows) 

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

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.

Ma preocupa soarta transportului romanesc, printre altele si pentru ca daca merg prin Ro am nevoie sa ma plimb prin tara in timp scurt. Din pacate, stirile-s proaste.

There's been a lot of hoopla about horses and Romania lately. Let's summarize it.

Reportaj inimos din inima Transilvaniei despre efectul unei noi legi care interzice accesul carutelor cu cai pe arterele principale. Multi oameni vor muri de foame spun satenii din Arieseni. Sunt 750000 de carute inregistrate in Romania, si ele sunt responsabile pentru 10% din accidentele rutiere.

Dar dupa ce in prima parte m-am uitat la Andruska si plagiatul NR, aici ne uitam la DeCe si Stash de Cafeina cat si Internerd. Mi-a fost greu sa scriu acest articol, ca nu-mi place sa fiu lup moralist, dar am promis, si n-am incotro.

Acum mai bine de 2 ani, scriam despre cutremurul din l’Aquila, Italia. Acum cateva zile, scriam in pistolul cu pasarica despre cutremurul ce va sa vie in Vancouver. Ei bine, italienii au decis sa aduca in instanta 6 seismologi care au spus cu putin timp inainte de cutremur ca nu exista suficiente dovezi pentru a concluziona ca un cutremur este iminent si aflu despre asta din articolul unei vancou(ve)verite care mai si repeta ce ziceam cu V.

There's a positive, uplifting effect to reliving memories it's especially useful to me now, that I fell on black days. And that's why I continue here with the spring that preceded that July.

After writing about the sexual assault complaint about Ioan Pop on September 13, I was even considering going to the October 15 court appearance. It turns out that a court appearance has already taken place before I had a chance to wake up (and I’m still on antibiotics).

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.

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..

Following Strelnikov’s suggestion and Max’ confirmation, I started listening to Balanescu Quartet. I liked it and thought that it’s worth an article. Which I started a few months ago and am completing today, especially since I have a few new/s (times).

I hesitated for one day before writing this article and telling you this story. Maybe that's cuz here in Canada we went back to regular time, "losing" one hour.

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.

De ziua tatilor, m-am gandit sa fac o lista de clipuri muzicale cu, despre, de si pentru tati. Ar fi indicat sa incep poate cu melodia Timpuri Noi, dar l-am pus cand abia aparuse intr-un articol separat...

Am poposit recent pe pagina unui blog negru, prezentand viata in gri prin intermediul unui batran cu tatuaje violete ce se plimba aproape gol, intelept si decorat pe strada. Mi-am amintit de Arclantida si-nceputul sau. Si-apoi am terminat de tradus Halebarda lui Sorescu.

In restul lumii, 1 Iunie inseamna ziua copilului. Aici in Toronto, anul acesta 1 Iunie marcheaza niste evenimente mai importante decat in alti ani, cum ar fi noi reguli pentru trecerea frontierei in USA si deschidera adoptiilor.

A inceput ieri-alaltaieri (6 mai) procesul lui Silviu Ionescu, diplomatul roman acuzat de uciderea lui Tong Kok Wai, un rezident permanent Malaysian in Singapore. ..
