Duolingo (invite) sent me a new report placing me in top 1% users, which is a great opportunity to once again look at Romanian radio drama or theatre or teatru radiofonic. Traducere in romana in curand pe pagina de fatacarte Zamolxis.

Recently, a friend asked me to provide Romanian lessons. I directed her to Duolingo (invite) and, as I occasionally listen to Romanian eTeatru (or “teatru radiofonic”), it occurred to me that this is something worth sharing with the rest of the world.

Am avut un week-end destul de plin, si ca de obicei, mi-au iesit numai 30% din chestiile pe care mi le-am dorit.

We're busy, we got stuff to do, but no matter how busy we are (or maybe because we are so), we need to make time for art.

A more recent politico-artistico-philosophical scandal, far more interesting to me but, apparently, less interesting to the Romanian public, is the open conflict between Andrei Plesu, my favourite philosesseist, and the PSD cultural wing.

@JihadAbdo is an L.A.-based actor with more than 43 films, tons of TV series and lots of plays in four languages. One of those languages is Romanian.

A friend of mine published an article in medium on communism and entrepreneurship (ana-medium) and Aferim!, a movie a cousin of mine was involved in producing has hit the theatres, and I feel a debt of honour to write about each one. So hard to stay focused and write meaningfully is. 

Am descoperit un nou PA si am numai cateva minute sa-i raspund (da, stiu ca urma sa-l continui pe cel precedent, dar ma gandesc ca nu-i o idee rea sa intru in hora oficiala).

I have to admit, I don't quite keep up with Romanian music. My favourite groups are rather old, and I only hear about Romanian stars when they are too big and of dubious quality (e.g., Inna).

Astazi incepe Festivalul International al Filmului din Toronto si eu inca n-am apucat sa decid ce filme vreau sa vad. Dar, in traditia expertilor de internet, va voi spune ce filme vor altii sa vada.

I thought long and hard about a subject for the international day of philosophy and came up with two. They've been on my mind for a while, actually, and have to do with security theatre and cheating.

Honest Ed is an iconic “Canadian Kwik-E-Mart” that will forever close its doors on December 31, 2016. If you are wondering what does this have to do with the recently arraigned Ion Iliescu, well, I couldn’t find another rhyme.

Un articol scris in 10 minute dupa ora 12 despre politicianul dansator. Imi dau seama ca suna stupid, dar n-am timp de gandit prea mult..

Transitioning from the old teaching style to the new ethics is hard to accomplish in Eastern Europe. In Romania, it is even more difficult to do so with conniving garbage at the helm of the government. And if you’re wondering, the PP in title stands for Plagiarizing Ponta.

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?

E ziua Canadei (1 Iulie) si-am decis sa scriu iar pe teme pompoase. Nu stiu cine isi mai poate imagina ca-canada nu-i stat politienesc, dar sunt convins ca sunt multi. De cate ori "autoritatile" au avut ocazia, au ales calea cenzurii.

Citeam recent un articol destul de trist cum ca tinerii absolventi de teatru n-o duc taman bine. Si m-au pocnit amintiri cu Costinesti si Festivalul Tinerilor Actori.

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!

Mi-ar fi extrem de greu sa ma impac cu sirul evenimentelor care s-au produs in ultimele cateva saptamani si mai ales zile. Un mod de a impaca realitatea cu dorul de normalitate este refugiul in arta - Commedia dell'Arte, mai precis.

Reciteam recent povestea vietii lui Ion Rimaru, teroarea anilor '70 si ramaneam uimit cum perceptiile populatiei generale si modul de a gandi cu "fa ceva!" au ramas practic neschimbate, gasindu-si mai nou expresie in teatrul de securitate. Criminalii se schimba, prostia vulgului, nu. Asta pe langa prima victima din serialul de familie, care se numea Elena Udrea.
