Hotnews has previously interviewed Romanian diaspora people, which we covered, and we have also been profiling others in the diaspora ourselves. This interview is somewhat new in that the interviewee is "returned" - and we expect to be many more like him in the coming years.

@BAndreescu_ (#BiancaAndreescu, ofc) catapulted herself so fast to stardom that I am having difficulties forming a mental picture of her. And so are most of her new fans, attracted to her rising star like loving insects to the blinding light. I’ll be giving you 3 reasons, not counting the intro, but if you can only remember / have time for one, remember creative visualization.

I watched these days Simona Halep having to retire due to an injury, Bianca triumphing over Genie Bouchard and though I certainly rooted for Bianca, I do regret somewhat both Serena’s and Genie’s respective losses.

I wasn’t planning to write about this game, even though it impressed me and it’s the biggest victory in Romanian tennis. But my Internet is off right now, it will take a while to restore and between writing this article and playing some silly games, writing wins.

I’ve watched (a bit late) @Simona_Halep’s win @RolandGarros and I think it’s enough of a milestone to come out of my springbernation and tell you about it.

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?!

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.

As I'm starting this article, there's a ton of things I want to talk about, and I'll be lucky if I have the time to get into 2 of them. First, Simona Halep's amazing win against Serena Williams, then I'd like to talk about Romanian accomplishments, education, verbal aggression, debating skills, and Sfinx / Dan Andrei Aldea. Let's see how far I manage to get.

In editia de 27 Iulie a Daily Show with Jon Stewart, invitata a fost Rachel Weisz, eroina filmului The Whistleblower (2010) [trailer], unde le gasim si pe Monica Bellucci si Vanessa Redgrave. Intre multe alte nume cu consoane duble, si o gramada de romani si romance.

Am inceput sa prezint poeziile lui Bogza (I, II). Si iar ma confrunt cu dilema care este de fapt mobilul si blestemul bloggerului: prezinti materialul altuia si-atunci nu mai e loc de ce ai sa zici si nimeni nu comenteaza, sau iti spui pasul fara a prezenta originalul si-atunci oamenii comenteaza dar nivelul discutiei este scazut dat fiind ca putini au rabdare sa citeasca trimiterile din Surse(?)..

Ma bateau zilele astea niste ganduri. Si eu pa ele.

Este mai putin stiut azi ca Romania a incercat si ea o primavara relativa prin anii ‘60. Lucrurile s-au inrautatit treptat in anii ‘70 aducand Romania intr-un faliment al optimismului in anii ‘80. Ceva s-a intamplat, dar ce?

Robert Frost este gagistrul care o zas ca a scrie poezie in versuri albe este ca si cum ai juca tenis cu fileul la pamant. Taman d-aia, m-am gandit sa va prezint cateva poezii si sa le traduc in versuri albe.

Azi la tenis o prietena imi spune ca degeaba-i Finlanda tara unde se traieste cel mai bine, ca ea a mers cu Finnair si n-a avut loc sa-si puna picioarele (ea nefiind tocmai inalta). Eu i-am spus ca probabil spatiul de picioare nu se ia in calcul in astfel de topuri, si oricum - gandindu-ma la topurile ONU - nu-i Finlanda prima. Dar de fapt e.

Am publicat nu demult o foarte rudimentara "traducere" a poeziei lui Larkin, "asta sa-ti fie versul (manca-ti-as)". Am promis atunci ca vin c-o traducere mai buna.

Sora unei prietene din copilarie este balerina si showgirl in Paris si Las Vegas si-as vrea sa scriu despre ea. Dar nu pot face asta pana nu va povestesc despre Ancusor.

M-am gandit cum sa traduc “self-promoting”, am obosit, si-am esuat in “trufas”, inecandu-ma ca rrom-ul, cu gheata la mal. Am primit care va sa zica aceasta leapsa de la curalelobi, si m-am gandit “de ce nu”, dat fiind ca deja am inceput cu aproape 30 de intrebari si raspunsuri in “Despre” (al doilea link in menu-ul de sus).

In caz ca nu stii ce-nseamna „per pedes“, da-mi voie sa-ti explic, folosind wikipedia germana. Zice ea: (deutsch: zu Fuß) ist eine lateinische Redewendung für „zu Fuß gehen“. Es stammt vom Ausspruch per pedes apostolorum (zu Deutsch in etwa „zu Fuß wie die Apostel“), der vom Aussendungsauftrag Jesu herrührt.
