I’m becoming a Nastase hater. Can’t this guy just disappear from news altogether, or realize that we’re no longer in the 50s and the 70s are over?!

In prima parte am discutat neuroplasticitatea, in a II-a am vorbit despre flow si iata ca in sfarsit ajung la bucata de stiri care m-a determinat sa scriu seria. Continui povestea creierului si bag aici si lista TED de videoclipuri despre creier si succes.

This could very well be a paid post, but it's not (unless you consider a free concert and a couple of Pepsi bottles as 'payment'). I was just passing by their tent and the music caught my ear; I enjoyed it while watching a cover of Talking Heads (Psycho Killer). All in all, a great opportunity to reminisce on what Pepsi meant in my childhood.

It happened a week ago, but I needed some time to sort out my feelings. It’s complicated, because Alexandra Dulgheru is Romanian (i.e., from my native country) and Eugenie Bouchard is Canadian (i.e., from my adoptive country). Alex is nicer and a winner, Genie is a blonde, confirming the stereotypes that come with that categorization.

Este donatia unei operatii de chirurgie plastica un act de emancipare sau o exploatare patriarhala a unei copile naive? Sunt femeile asuprite in Occident si daca da, de catre cine? Nu pot sa nu-mi amintesc o scena cu Bamo, cand stateam “La Mama” cu el si alti chirurgi plastici colegi la o masa, si prietenele lor se laudau cu cate operatii aveau la activ.

Povesteam nu demult o amintire din liceu, cand am colaborat cu Agurida la un poem pentru Lox. Si mi s-a deschis apetitul pentru un encore, dar de data asta cu oameni seriosi, mari (dar si cu cei ne~, cum sunt si eu de altfel). Care va sa zica, este vorba de o invitatie de a ne infrupta dintr-un nou exquisite corpse!

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.

Dupa cum am mai lasat sa se intrevada pe acest blog, sunt inglodat intr-un proces cam din 2003-2004. Tot atunci Attorney General in Ontario a fost numit cel mai tanar avocat sa fi fost vreodata in aceasta pozitie, si anume, Michael Bryant. Acest om a ucis ieri un biciclist.

Un sistem de invatamant bun si investitiile in educatie, cata vreme sunt facute inteligent, sunt probabil cel mai eficient mod de a scoate o tara din mlastina. Si desi multi romani sunt convinsi ca sistemul de educatie din Romania este printre cele mai bune din lume, un studiu recent arata ca pana si intre tarile nou intrate in Europa, sistemul romanesc lasa de dorit.

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.

In a recent post on his Facebook page, Raed Arafat, the Romanian EMS SMURDfather, complains that SMURD teams on the beach should not be expected to save people from drowning. As a Canadian-trained (RLSSC) lifeguard (salvamar), that strikes me as odd.

Incepusem sa scriu acum cateva luni despre Michael Bryant, Zeul Justitiei Ontariene, care a omorat un biciclist cu decapotabilul sau Saab de lux. Negru. O vizita recenta la wikipedia mi-a spus ce se-ntampla.

Mi s-or adunatara cateva chestii pa crestet, si simt nevoia sa ma confesez. Nu-i atat vorba de draci, cat de chestii asa, nerostite, care trebuiesc spuse dar gagica nu le-ntelege, ca-s cu tehnologie, si n-o intereseaza, ca nu-s cu ea. Si-n plus, nu mai vorbim de ceva vreme.

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.

I happened to be in the area so I decided to pay the consulate a visit, not expecting to be able to vote, but hoping to learn more info about my programmed visit for my passport renewal. I didn't waste a lot of time, but in typical Romanian fashion, someone managed to use my time with info that is likely useless.

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.

…si nu toti cei de pe asistenta sociala sunt milogi. Dupa ce am relatat ca IHT s-a uitat la o familie de romani din Spania (stirea 4 din 10), iata ca si NYT, simbolul presei libere ucigatoare de copaci, descrie cazul unui cuplu de romani in varsta care au preferat sa faca foame decat s-ajunga pe welfare. Este greu de zis daca o duc sau nu mai bine in New York decat oriunde altundeva in Romania.

Am tot amanat sa scriu despre Geoana, intrucat nu-i ceva pozitiv iar el n-o duce tocmai bine. Iata ca-n final am reusit cu chiu, cu vai, sa-mi vantur ideile pe pajistea propriului blog, m-apropii de ceea ce ar trebui sa fie finalul, cu exceptia cazului in care iese si asta prea lung si tre' sa-l mai sparg in cateva articole. Cam asta-i partea finala a raspunsului meu la articolul lui AlphaDog, dupa ce am vorbit despre despotismu' lu' Base in prima parte, am raspuns apoi punct cu punct argumentelor sale intr-a doua, si-ntr-a treia am descris Romania ideala, de care cred ca Base ne apropie mai mult.

Luiza care i-a adus in Toronto si pe Nightlosers vrea sa-i aduca pe Timpuri Noi. Care erau trupa mea favorita si pe care nu i-am vazut de-un car de ani.

The most important debating tournament in Romania took place at the “Mihai Viteazu” high-school and the reporter summarized a debate with a BIRT on whether the Romanian government should provide reparations to the Roma community for the Holocaust. This is worth a discussion.
