Verde

De prin iunie ai mei se tot gandesc si razagandesc,planuiesc si pun la cale sa renoveze apartamentul. Am fost prin Praktiker,prin Bricostore sa luam toate cele , sa ne holbam la unele preturi si sa ne dam cu parerea ce culori de faianta si vopseluri sa alegem. Cand cineva se hotara asupra unor culori,celalat se impotrivea si planul nu se mai desfasura,pentru ca,nu-i asa,trebuie ca toti sa fim de comun acord pentru ca dupa aceea sa nu comenteze nimeni ca niciodata nu e cum vrea el si posibil,daca ceilalti isi dau seama intr-un tarziu — spre bucuria celuilalt — acesta triumfeaza cu maretul si neclintitul “v-am spus eu ! dar nuuuu…” .
Din fericire asa ceva nu s-a intamplat si la mine … pentru ca toti vroiam verde cu alb si vopsea verzuie. Deci a fost simplu,repede si usor. Well, partea cu usor a fost spusa datorita constructiei, nu a fost nicidecum usor sa cari 22 de cutii de faianta. Nu am cantarit cat ar detine o cutie,insa era mai mult de 5 kg, asta pot sa afirm.

Si dupa cum am spus la inceput,planurile erau pentru toata casa … pentru ca intr-un sfarsit mult asteptat de mine sa se hotarasca sa fie “redecorata” deocamdata doar bucataria. Bine au facut, la cat praf si materie nefolosibila a iesit de la bucatarie — si va mai iesi vreo 2 zile de acum inainte — nici nu vreau sa-mi imaginez cum ar fi fost daca toata casa ar fi fost luata cu asalt.

Toate utilitatile care fac viata mai usoara azi,adica ceva de genul,masina de spalat,frigider sau aragaz au fost frumusel trase pe hol, unde doar frigiderului i s-a acordat clementa din partea magistratilor, lasand sa infulece curent in continuare, restul sunt la carcera. Si cum culoarea vopselei care a fost asternuta pe pereti inainte de “actiune” era un soi de portocaliu,si cum se dorea verde…trebui ca sa fie data jos.Usor de zis,greu de facut,greu de suportat.
Nu pot sa zic ca nu a fost zgomot, a fost…insa parca nu a fost ce m-am asteptat eu, nu mi-au tiuit urechile sau alte chestii pe care le asteptam cu frica, de fapt binecunoscuta picatura chinezeasca si-a facut numarul, fiind interpretata de minunata dalta si ciocan , aplauze. Chestii gen bormasina s-au auzit mai rar decat (nu) mi-as fi dorit si asta a fost de bine.

Desigur tevile erau suprasolicitate … acum vad si eu ca vecinii au o ureche muzicala de foarte mare acuitate , si nu lasa alt zgomot decat cel al pianinei mele sa razbata peretii lor. Insa nu s-au infiintat la noi la usa , motivul ramane in continuare necunoscut. Oricum , seriful ( aka dad ) a zis ca atat le trebuie : ” ce, noi am venit la ei la usa cand si-au daramat ei casa ? ” ( asta asa e,corect)
Trebuie sa cred ca a fost ceva la nivel telepatic , altfel nu imi explic.

Dupa cateva zile in care nu erau prea multe de vazut la locul faptei, azi am vazut primul perete de faianta pusa. Arata destul de bine , din cate am inteles mai trebuie chituit si dat cu vopsea din aia verzuie. Termenul oficial de incheiere al lucrarilor ar fi maine insa anumiti oameni care lucreaza in bransa sunt sceptici. Daca nu maine,macar luni, zic eu.

Later Edit

In sfarsit pot sa zic ca acum, de fapt ca sa fiu corect ieri, a expirat termenul ala de stat in casa,de tinut gheata, de luat pastile si de leneveala macra. Am fost la doctor ca sa stiu daca s-a rezolvat si daca pot sa-mi reiau activitatile zilnice.
Long story short, totul e bine, desi mai trebuie sa port genunchiera 2 saptamani , nu trebuie sa iau pastile sau sa mai pun gheata ( *relief* ) .

Lunile astea care tocmai au trecut am citit numai carti de lungime medii sau chiar scurte, ce tare mi-as dori sa ma infig acum intr-un King de peste 500 de pagini. Si vreau sa termin Apocalipsa vacanta asta,pentru ca daca nu acum,atunci sigur in timpul scolii nu o sa am cum.

Pe de alta parte, imi face cu ochiul Plansul lui Nietzsche , pe care am vazut-o la Ionuca, aici .
Abia astept sa pun mana si pe Amber #3 si dupa aceea….vom vedea.

Live blogging from the brink of the bed

Well, i’m still not supposed to walk much, ofcourse this not includes the eventual walk i might do to the kitch, the sofa in the living or the bathroom but still,being chained up in the flat is very depressing. I guess i’m a little bit lucky with this internet and all that instant messaging thing or else i’d probably have gone really mad.

Now to get a grip on the palahniuk style , i’m taking two kinds of pills, Tador ( which contains a substance called dexketoprofen that helps in curing the pain of moderate level, like muscular or skeletal ones ) and Oxacilin ( which helps preventing and curing the infections that have might been causen by bacteria or germs ), in total 6 pills a day and one during the night. Ofcourse ,the usual ice can’t be idle so my knee is more or less frozen ( just during the day, he is allowed to take the night off )

Two days ago, some men came and installed the conditioned air device , and since then i’m enjoying it every minute passing. Sure,i don’t keep him working 24/7 but at least 3 or 4 hours a day he’s on. But it’s still hot.

Regarding books, i allowed myself to take some 3-4 days free from books but focusing on Futurama , an awesome tv series which i used to watch on tvr2 at midnight. Lucky me, i have found some persons who have almost all the Futurama seasons at share and in these 2 days i’m nearly at the end of season 2. And it’s truley cunning ! I might call it the best cartoon, especially for it’s language and for the nature of the characters. Anyhow, if you haven’t seen Futurama yet,what are you waiting for.

Another great thing is that Simpsons The Movie ( which is made by the guy who work on Futurama, Mark Groening ) can be found on online trackers. The video and audio quality is not too good but since Simpsons are cartoons you don’t have to have an eye for details as you would do at a regular movie. I haven’t seen it yet, i’m still thinking if it worths seeing in this way or wait until a better quality release hits the scene.

Talking about the knee again, the bump seems like cured , actually the bump is nearly gone but still,i have to respect the doctor’s prescription and grow mad all the next week. bugger ! It seems awkward you know, when you say illness i think of pain,though i am ill ( in an odd way ) i don’t suffer from pain and this is very confusing because it’s like i’m trying to cure something that doesn’t need to be cured. My knee doesn’t hurt but still i am supposed to ice it and have pills. I hope you got it. I don’t pray for pain so that my cure should have some real help, i like it more this way it’s just i haven’t done this yet.

So i hope i’ll get better soon and recall my status

Something’s Gone Bad

Si ceva chiar a mers rau la un moment dat acum vreo o saptamana,dar faptul ca la momentul respectiv am avut destula anduranta ca sa suport repercusiunile si faptul ca rana a fost superficiala la un moment dat , nu a oprit faptul ca ceva sa mearga prost inca o data.
Despre ce e vorba : unii poate stiu dar cei mai multi cred ca nu , obisnuiam acum un an si ceva sa ma dau cu skate-ul destul de des,fapt care l-am mai rarit cand am rupt placa ( pentru ca la momentul ala 2 mil + erau ceva bani si eu nu aveam de unde sa-i iau ) si probabil ca atunci am facut bine, dupa cam 3 luni de skating ( atunci ) nu sufeream de nimic de pe urma minunatului sport extrem. Dar stiti proverbul cu pragul de sus nu ?
Cam asa s-a si intamplat. Acum vreo o saptamana de dragul vremurilor trecute si probabil pentru ca nu pot sta sa privesc la altii cum se dau , am incercat cateva chestii cu skateul unu prieten. Si pentru ca dupa 2 ore incontinuu imi mergea destul de bine am zis sa ma dedau si la chestii mai complicate , pe care oricum nu le mai incercasem , dar am zis asa in premiera. Premierele sunt un lucru rau ! ( exclus filmul ) si la un quarterpipe am incercat un nosestall ( pentru cei care stiu ) , totul bine si frumos pana la coborare cand mi-a fugit skateul de sub picioare si eu am cazut in genunchi pe beton ( vasazica am avut ceva avant , avant da , dar genunchiere nu ! ) La momentul ala a fost doar julitura ca apoi cateva zile mai tarziu ( mai alaltaieir) sa se umfle destul de aiurea. Nu durea , la os nu aveam nimic,doar ca umflatura aia era acolo, ok nu deranja ea cu nimic,dar ERA acolo !
Azi am fost la doctor . Defapt mai multi. Am fost de la unul la altul.
Prima oprire : doctorul de familie care de specialitate e pediatru (deh) si a zis ca pare a fi ceva superficial dar ca mai bine imi face trimitere la chirurgie ( oops ! nu am suferit de nici o interventie pana acum si nici nu sunt on tenterhooks ca sa vreau ) Bun, mers la chirurgie. Pe la urechi imi treceau termeni specifici si spui in mare graba , insa am putut prinde o esenta ( un fel de acumulare de tesut mort,asezonat cu putin lichid si infectie de stafilococi sau streptococi). M-a pus sa ma urc pe masa. Eu deja stateam mai pe langa usa asa. Inca o invitatie. Ok…ma descalt si imi expun mandru genunchiul. Nu stiu ce cauta doctorita prin cutiile alea sinistre de metal, intr-un tarziu scoate niste fasa elastica,pansament,un fel de cleste si doua sticle. Am intrebat daca o sa fac injectii ( am o aversiune aparte pentru injectii ) , m-am calmat cand a zis ca nu. Dupa aia am vazut de mai aproape,intr-o sticluta era tinctura de iod si cealalta era un spray cu care mi-a dat pe genunchi ( nu stiu pentru ce era ). Mi-a dat sa iau antiinflamatoare,antibiotice,sa pun gheata asa 12/7 si sa tin piciorul in sus si sa incerc sa nu il misc pentru ca ce e acolo sa se reabsoarba. A zis sa mai vin peste o saptamana sa vada cum este si daca nu trece complet imi face punctie ( flashback : eu cand eram mai mic asa am facut meningita si aproape ce mai tin minte era faptul ca punctia era chestia aia cand cineva te tinea strans si altcineva iti lua maduva din coloana vertebrala, dupa aceea trebuia sa stai nemiscat 3 ore sau aveai dureri mari de cap, ce mai,o fericire,noroc ca eu cand auzeam de urmari , incremeneam acolo 3 ore cap coada ) si asta m-a dus cu gandul la coloana,apoi am alfat ca era vorba de punctie acolo pe umflatura ca sa scoata “ce e rau” ( am aproape 18 ani ! nu trebuie sa-mi zici ca la copil ! )
Momentan stau intr-o pozitie cam incomoda la pc , dat fiind faptul ca piciorul trebuie sa-l tin intins si in sus. Se spune ca la skateboarding nu esti destul de cool daca nu iti rupi ceva ( can i join ? please ? ) . O prostie. Astazi o sa termin Mendebilul , l-am inceput azi-noapte si doar oboseala m-a despartit de el.
Asadar multumesc ca ati avut rabdare sa cititi pana la capat si va rog,daca aveti de gand sa lasati un comment,sa nu ma certati pentru imprudenta, am facut-o eu , ok ?

Nu sunt prea multe de spus

Decat ca un pic un pic asa s-a mai racorit. In sfarsit e posibil sa iesi afara din casa inainte de ora 10 seara si dupa 6-7 dimineata, in trecut astea fiind intervalele orare care iti permiteau plimbari sau lenevit pe o banca afara. Ca veni vorba de banci, ceea ce nu este un lucru nou, primarul sectorului 3 respectiv domnul Liviu Negoita s-a gandit el la soarta ( in prima speta ) tuturor babelor si mosilor ( a se citi persoanelor batrane ) care se incapataneaza sa isi faca loc in peisajul stradal si a pus banci la fiecare 20-30 de metri pe trotuar. O intentie “umanitara” , asta daca acele banci nu ar servi ca paturi pentru homlesi care se inchipuie dormind pe banci ca dormind intr-un baldachin cu asternuturi de matase. Overall e o tampenie.
Ca o revelatie intarziata, cartile lui Palahniuk nu sunt numai placeri ale ochilor si a partii din creier responsabile cu imaginatie ( shame me ca nu stiu ) ci si a intelectului ( suna ca la tara ) deoarece cartile dumnealui contin si multe referiri de farmacologie si medicina de unde daca vrei mai poti tine minte unele cuvinte specifice si simptome. Deasemenea e un izvor nesfarsit de citate.
Astept Fight Club-ul , portia pe care mi-a oferit-o filmul este prea mica

Urban

Am fost plecat cateva zile pe la tara, loc pe care,franc,il detest. Nu suport sa fie multa treaba de facut,sa ai lucruri pe care trebuie sa fii cu ochii la fiecare 10 minute,nu suport mizerie,muste,animale de curte si mai ales oamenii de acolo. Singura chestie faina care e acolo este ca exact pe la sfarsitul gradinii trece prahova si e linistitor sa stai pe unul din malurile raului,sa auzi apa si sa simti vantul si sa te gandesti la ce te doare pe tine.cred ca asta e singurul lucru care merita vazut acolo. conditia noastra de acolo nu e proasta,adica avem unde sa stam si ce sa mancam si asa mai departe,adica cui i-ar place ar putea gasi coltul sau de lume acolo,numai ca mie nu imi place mediul rural nicicum, niciunde. a, si mai e o chestie misto acolo ca poti sa citesti in voie la umbra copacilor din gradina fara sa te deranjeze nimeni si nimic, ca veni vorba , am terminat Roger Zelazny-Lordul luminii, o sa scriu despre ea mai incolo cand o sa am resimt.
Pana una alta am realizat ca eu nu pot trai mai mult de 5 zile la tara si ca eu sunt oarecum legat de beton,blocuri,aglomeratie,caldura,civilizatie in general

In the meantime

This hot weather is very annoying, you don’t get to do anything, darn, it’s even too hot to read !
Maybe the ones who saw me at Bookfest know i was really scattering to find Longman, i did, it was at the first floor, but i was rather dissapointed that i did not find the dictionary i wanted to buy, so i spent my money then on other cool books. Recently, some money turned up to me , as reward of my weariness. So i thought with these ones i really have to get that dictionary ( Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English…i had once the chance to turn over its pages and i found it really helpful, contains both new and old english words, therefore, because i had no serious english dictionary at home i had to have one ) and i started to use my friend google until the moment i found Longman’s website. I searched for the dictionary and there it was ! I did the formalities and already begin to seethe. I knew these english dictionaries made by Macmillan or Longman are pretty cool, they have lot of words, nice explanations and examples as well as some orientative ilustrations, i took Longman’s one because someone advised me this is better than Macmillan’s, i said ok. The cool thing about it, it’s that i am to receive 2 cds along with the dictionary, to use it on the computer too.
In 4 days i had the dictionary, it’s pretty cool, and his virtual edition works pretty well.
I continue to feel very woozy because of this unbearable hot weather. I will pretty soon start to redecorate my flat and there will be lots of mess and dirt, but i guess everybody does it, yesterday when i was wandering across my neighbourhood’s street the sound made by all those machines was almost stereo so i guess they’ll be happy to hear another satellite to all this mass surround system.
This is buggering me !
LE : I’m currently reading Spark’s The Wedding ( which you can see in the library thing widget, its cover i mean ) , long story short, it’s about two people that have been married for 30 years now and after all these years, they ( well mostly he ) try to regain the passion, it’s pretty cool, it’s not that cheesy romance or shit,no, of course it has romantic things all over it but they’re said with a rather serious tone, so i guess that’s ok, i hope i’ll finish it today

Let’s Wander

I reckon it passed some time since i made my last post in english, somehow i miss this kind of story telling. I’ve just finished reading one of the fiction from the wonderful Fragile Things , it is called A Study in Emerald … but i shall not talk about it now because i don’t want to talk about every short stories particularily … once i have the book finished then i’ll make a ,i acquire,quite large post presenting every each one of them.
I still can’t believe tomorrow’s the last day of school…this is bloody unbelieveable ! I mean the time seemed to past so hard that at a point I thought this holiday will never come. Ow…it began to rain…
I fear to make plans for the summer because I know I’d not respect them and i would be in a manner of speaking,deceived. So this summer i’ll just let it go , though, i have some whishes that might or let’s say must become true. I’m the kind of person that is called spontaneous , alas, i’ve never wanted to be different. If someone asks me if I can go somewhere with him in 30 mins i say yes withouth the palest shadow of reluctance in my acceptance. It’s just happening. They say the most beautiful trips are the spontaneous ones…like you wake up in the morning and a thought just strikes your mind…to get on the next train and travel aimlessly , i agree with the ones that stand for this kind of adventure, i plan something alike this summer. Maybe you lived this feeling or look forward to it…then you know what it means

Almost there

As you can see i finally found out how to change the header and i photoshoped some pictures, no fancy thing…a simple and defining one. Just hope you like it. For the ones who know about Gaiman, they’ll recognize the font. It’s from the UK editions of his books , i personally love it , this being the one and only ( i think ) reason i’ve choosen it.

The title means i’m almost there, almost there…. saturdat i’m getting my hands over those beautiful Gaiman ( 5 ! ) and one Atwood books ! I just can’t believe how rapidly the time passed, it just feels that yesterday i was waiting for that month to flew away. Somebody told me if i stop think about the time between the moments , that’ll make the actual time which is unchangeable, pass more quickly. And hell, it did ! I can’t believe it, it’s like one day from now i’ll get my hands over those lovely books ! I just can wait to sense their smell, to check their print…to see the extras ! because yes, this ones do have extras, like a link to some audiobook or something, an interview with Gaiman and more cool stuff.

I’m euphoric….

Ramblin’ #2

Yesterday was a nice day, rather good, but let’s name it nice.
I think sometimes a month or something ago i was telling you about those meetings that are taken place at Preoteasa, meetings in which a quite large number ( ~100 ) of teens discuss day to day problems and everyone’s putting a hand.
Well, last time i got there i was like very sceptical cause that was my first attend and it’s ok to be a little nervous or anxious when it comes down to your first time in doing something , right ?
But it turned out that the atmosphere was very familiar, warm and the people that were there were so open minded that you can talk with them about everything you want.
Well, yesterday evening was the second meeting ( for me ) and i haven’t experienced the same feelings of being nervous like the first time, this time i was very detached. So this time was about friendship and relations, the way you choose a friend, the way you get yourself involved in that relationship, the way you keep that friend , cause that’s one of the hardest thing to do, you know what they say , getting to the top is easy, staying there is a bit more difficult , the same with keeping a friend.
Last time they said they’ll bring someone special to share his experience in relations, and they did. The guy who talked about this was an american,i think it was friend with the staff, he also played some songs, that were very cool, too bad the songs were made by him cause i can’t find them on the net, maybe i’ll talk with someone from the staff to ask him if he has a cd or something to give away.
The thing with this meetings is that you really learn something not just spend 2-3 hours doing nothing that really helps you in one way or another. My feeling is that when i was there i was trying to focus of what we were talking about and forget my problmes, and for those 2-3 hours it really worked. I’m so pleased of this meetings !

Pitifully, i couldn’t finish Hrabal’s book but today i will, during the book i realised i want a cat for my own and now i’m gathering infos about how you take care of a cat. The first impression is that is not very hard, i’ll see at the that moment how right or wrong i was
