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.

A while back, I wrote briefly about "Pippi Longstocking", a book I got as a gift from a German friend. It's famous in Europe - especially Germanic countries -

N-am gangurit demult pe seama intamplarilor de-aici, si s-or adunatara multe, asa ca-mi voi da drumu’. Roman cardar, Rosia Montana Redivivus, tiganii Obama, capsunari lefteri, criza care inca nu se simte pe bune, indienii ne invadeaza, online boom, crime si prostii si-n final, festivalul filmului romanesc in Toronto. Ready or not, here I cum!

Recent, zoso publica un videoclip al Antenelor cu ieseni calcandu-se in picioare pentru produse de bricolaj la oferta. Eu revad un clip despre care am scris acum cativa ani. Cel vechi e cu saraci la Walmart.

Is it fair to give special incentive to the diaspora to return home? Doesn’t that encourage more to leave only to get the money on coming back?

I found via bucurenci.ro Cosmin Alexandru's article. I jotted down a few quick thoughts.

I continue to struggle to express my frustrations with the status quo while also presenting the election results. Here I'll start with the facts, hoping that the rest will transpire effortlessly.

I have been staying away from the news of the moment, but this recent tragedy hits extremely close to home, whichever way a member of the Toronto Romanian diaspora (including myself) chooses to define that notion.

Based on my mistaken belief that there may be people reading this, I go ahead with my recommendations, after the intro and Asia. PISA is not just a set of tests, it comes with suggestions and recommendations.

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.

..imi vine sa ma esprim. S-au anuntat tot felu' de ciudatenii atmosferice, din genul celor care te ingrijoreaza in principal daca ai casa. Si cum atunci cand e cald ai chef de salate, am decis sa las Costco sa gateasca in seara asta.

Am primit recent un indemn de a face un sumar cu lucrurile simple din jurul meu care merg pe dos. Dar pentru ca lucrurile simple nu ma intereseaza, voi incerca sa fac un sumar cu cele mai mari probleme ale societatii canadiene. Asa cum le vad eu, desigur.

Stirile despre Romania din presa straina abunda, cand ochiul antrenat le cauta. Sa discutam povestea unui roman ajuns in Canada intr-un container din Italia.

Am descoperit ca exista un numar de chestii care atrag femeile tot astfel cum zgari-zgari atrage pisicile. Una are de-a face cu lama de ras; alta, cu exercitiile fizice

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.

Am remarcat ca acest subiect a fost dezbatut in Romania. Taxele de proprietate sunt mult mai mari ca procent de PIB (ca sa nu mai vorbim de modul absolut) decat la noi si m-am gandit ca experienta mea personala ar putea fi interesanta in discutie. Desigur, eu vorbesc despre Toronto.

Ce poate fi mai existential decat aceste doua subiecte? Tratarea lor in doua filme superbe, filme care mi-au marcat dezvoltarea psiho-sexuala.

A while back I had an overseas guest misbehaving. I had invited her for a longer stay in Canada but it turned out she had difficulties living without regular fights. I offered to make a reservation at a hostel and cover her costs at a hostel for the rest of her stay but she refused and I was eventually bribed to give in due to my membership affiliation.

I’ve recently noticed a tweet that seems to indicate the Romanians are 3rd among EU countries least happy with free movement in Europe. That’s remarkable. Why would that be?

Idolul si role model-ul Dagnir Glaurunga isi aduce recent a sa contributie la efortul cu tiganii (t-tigani) si scoate de la naftalina vechiul cantec animat al lui Cassargoz (t-bunicul). Despre film am mai scris, dar despre nature v nurture sau, cum ii spune el, natura contra cultura, parca nu prea am mai discutat.
