Man, this heat is practically killing me !
I can’t recall which was the hottest summer but i can almost bet no one can beat this one, maybe the ones that are to come. I remember i’ve read in a newspaper today that in our country, 11 people died because of the heat. This it’s pretty much ironically, because in the winter people die because of the low temperatures ( yes,i think even this very winter that have passed, again,thank god there was no snow ! maybe the temperatures in Bucharest were pretty fair for a winter’s time but up in the mountains i remember some people died because of the lack of heat ) and in the summer people die because of the heat. When it’s winter you want the summer to come more quickly but when you’re in the middle of the summer, as july, you wish that the frosty season would come at once

Sometimes it’s even too hot to read. Since i’ve finished Fight Club i took a one day brake from reading and i returned to Mr.G’s books , the reason i linger with these books is that, as puck once said, i don’t want to end quickly. I wanted to start Victor Dragomir’s book but the heat added some time to my break ,even so, i think this night i’ll start reading it.

Finally, my folks thought a nice air conditioner can find it’s place among this heat. So we were to Domo and bought a LG , we bought the one with 12000 BTU because we thought we would put it in the living room and maybe use it for all the house ( i am very sceptical about this , but if it will work :D ) Today they brought it home. We are scheduled next week’s friday for the instalation, thought there is a chance they might come faster. So thank god i’ll have air conditoner , maybe i’ll read more peacefully.


Midnight Post

June 15, 2007

Made out of boringness, insomnia and lyrics
I mean yeah, i’m happy that finally the school’s out…yay…joy…this should take like 5-6 minutes,and then you ask yourself “and now what ? ” i just’ve lived this tomorrow. I started my first holiday day in the most boring way possible, after school some coleagues went to a bar somewhere…i had no money on me so i went home, griefly. I think i could almost sense the summer in the air, you know, the smell of hot days, hotness, burn, short summer rains, leaves. So in my incomprehensible ( i think i spelled it right ) boringness i started the pc , made myself a cup of tea , put some music on and start vegetating. I don’t want all the summer to be like this ! No fucking way ! I want action, i want to break out of this room which is sometimes fulfilled with things that bring me down…i don’t know where it hides, under the piano ?! maybe.
Her smile. So brazen and warm. Brings me up to the real world every time. It’s too hard to talk about these things just from your memory or pictures, i need to see the real thing. Enough with fakes ! Where are the real things ? These can’t hide under the piano….seek and find. Talking about HER smile…it’s bowing so nicely across her face , her hazel eyes can cure a sick man and offer him again the will to live, yes, big eyes, big effect. So it’s all i need, if she’d probably turn up right here right now…man, i’d probably wouldn’t get to sleep,just chat all night long about worthless and meaningless things which surprisngly prove to be a very nice “raw” matter to talk about , talkative i guess. I’ve never done it, talk to the morning rises i mean. I think i’ll do it this summer. Wow, making plans in the middle of the night, now that’s a new thing ! Under the piano ? I’ve checked…nothing there,not even dust… under the wardrobe ? on the balcony ? Another time baby…i’ll expose you to the world ! So everybody may know who you are ! Play some notes, Mozart’s or maybe Bach’s, Bartholdy’s ? Your pick woung man, just don’t put too much pressure on the keyboard, it’s yellowish colour is the most authentical prove that time passes, unwillingly,yes…but unfortunately, unstopable. that scar, do you have it for a long time i guess don’t you ? yes, i was a little prick and that’s the undoubtable truth, desert me for what i’ve been…or posses me for what i am. destroy,play,murder…do what you want, think of me as a toy, the one you had when you were that prick, but please, don’t tear my head apart, it had been already torn and i felt dezastrous. Moles and scars ! You’re a grave of memories aren’t you ? Unwillingly , yes i am. Want to buy a patch for your eternity ? I still have free places…and i sell them cheap, greatest deal in the town, you can go right know and search for a one to match , you’ll not find any , why ? i’m the undertaker around these places…
enough with this meaningless mumbling.
i still have to claim that just a part of the text above is true. you decide which. good night

Nu stiu cum sa incep

Recent nu am mai avut inspiratie pentru posturi, asta pentru ca deobicei posturile sunt bazate pe fapte vazute,auzite sau citite, un fel de cronica subiectiva asupra lor. Din moment ce eu citesc destul de mult pot sa zic , indeosebi lucruri tangentiale cu science fictionul si fantasyul sa nu pot sa “aberez” si eu putin pe o tema. S-a mai intamplat pe la inceput postul despre prima zapada, in care pot sa ma simt bine ca am aberat binisor insa cam ala a fost singurul, restul, povestiri, recenzii si critici.

Recent am citit Nopti albe Zile negre de compatriotul Marian Coman, carte a carei recenzii e cu un post mai jos. In continuare sunt pe sfarsite cu Masinuta lui Hrabal , care este destul de emotionanta ( desi nu este cuvantul potrivit, cartea implica multe sentimente traite de autor vis-a-vis de pisici ) , probabil pe seara sau cel tarziu maine o sa vina si recenzia la cartea astea, nu stiu de ce mai anunt, nu prea primesc feedback.

De maine intr-o saptamana imi vine comanda amazoniana , pe care o astept de mai bine de o luna deja. Dar merita. Stiu de pe acum ca merita sa fi asteptat chiar si doua, poate trei luni, dar sa nu cobesc.

Cheful de scoala ( daca a existat vreodata ) a pierit, mintea mea e ancorata in bookfest si in perioada post 15 iunie. Vara asta o sa fie una wasted, i promise !


Just Today

May 12, 2007

Just Saturday.

So in this another saturday i had i did lots of things that in most saturdays i don’t.
The morning broke up nicely with some episodes of prison break ( now that i’ve said it ) just to raise a little the wonderful substance known by the name of C9H13NO3 or simple…adrenaline from my veins. very good tv-series , i have to admit.
So, the just-woke-up-me started and with his eyes still mended with sweet good sleep saw some money on his desk , spare money that is, and in his early morning mind thought he’s going to make himself a t-shirt because he got bored with the one he already posses. And by the time he fetched the money, in his mind the word totem formed miracously, being surrounded by mist and shadows ( just for the effect ) and all that kind of spooky things. But it was like 11 am and he thought he could stay a little bit more in the company of prison break . When it was nearly 1 pm, that is in the most “hot” hour of the day, he walked outside and strucked down by a heat wave that announced an early summer. He made himself a black t-shirt with a green thing on it, which by the mean, is kind of funny, though he isn’t going to marry soon but still, the t-shirt is sure a rocking thing. He also bought Marian Coman’s Nopti albe Zile negre because he thought it sounds interesting and he might take a peek plus it was wrote by one of us and he was very curios about our kind of writing. Also, today he ate a lot but no worry because he has fast burns , i mean he can eat daily for two months at kfc and by the end of those two months,he won’t get fat just as a regular person would.

Nevertheless, when he was in diverta he saw an interesting thing. he rememberd nemira published a hardcover edition of dan brown’s da vinci code but he also remembered this method is used just overseas, the one of publishing the hardcover first, and after some months , the paperback went out. Just like now, nemira published da vinci’s code like one-two years ago and now they got out the paperback of the same book, he wander’s who’ll be dumb enough to buy it.

now he’s thinking what book will bring for the tomorrow’s bookcross meeting. he’ll figure out something.he says good night.

so do i :)


Wochende

May 11, 2007

Be patient, i’m not going to write down in German, first because i don’t feel myself capable of doing it and second because i still have more to learn about that language.
I just said wochende instead of weekend because somehow i respect the integrity of the german people, their conservationism which is very good in their case. When all the world is bathing in english and using much more term in english than in the native language, the germans keep their language for themselves and are very reticent when comes down to other languages. But i think it was always a problem between germans and enlgish mans.

Whatever.

It’s time for easy going indie rock. Meet you sunday!


Obsession?!

May 8, 2007

I don’t really like using the obsession term, first because if you say you have an obsession you’re immediately labeled as being a freak or something like this, usually, the not open minded people associate obsession with insanity. Frequently, for these obsessions there are always terms to give them a name,a better one. Like obsession for children which results in being cald pedophilia ( let us not omit there must be a plus of sexual attraction in this pedophilia thing ) , maybe that wasn’t the right example to give…let me see…being called a cinefil doesn’t mean you enjoy very much watching movies,it means you got an obsession for them, that you like alot to criticize and generally to watch at least a movie a day. So as you see (if i made myself clear enough) there’s no good use for the obsession term,some people may get offended by labeling them in such way.

But,why did i wanted to analyze a little the obsession meaning ? You’ll see.

Last Sunday i droped by to a friend and she was watching a tv-series ( preffer not to give it’s name though the series are really smart and worth watching, ones who’ll read this will know what tv series i’m talking about ) , and a few days before he told me he can’t let them go because the series are too catchy ( off the record, that’s why because he skipped school two days,to see the series though he’ve seen just the first series ). I like to watch movies,i really do, but the habit to watch a tv series on the pc occurs to me as being very time-eating, so when he told me i should watch them too i refused politely though one day, being on presure i downloaded the first season and start watching. On that day, i watched it for 7 hours continuely, i reached episode 11. But still, i don’t think this is an obsession, certainly not, i’m not desperate about it though the series are exceptionally smart and worth the time you spend.

On another day someone is telling me i have an obsession with the series and i didn’t get it really well. I’m not having an obsession , i’ve never had and i’ll never will. It’s normal to like a thing much but you have to watch carefully not to drift on the other road.

Updated news :
-i just got a sms from puck in which she’s telling me she mailed me Zatul (pentru bookaholics) + a must read sf which in own it twice …. and she keeps the suspense for herself,uuu…i wonder what it might be….the pack arrives wednesday so by the end of the month i’ll have time to read the book for the club and i’ll see about the other one.
-being a quite big tea drinker ( i preffer black or flavoured black ones ) i keep an eye for the newest teas that might turn on once in a while so today i saw a new Lipton Ice Tea ( off the record i’ve seen it a week ago though today i had the chance to taste it ) and that is Red Ice Tea. I bought a bottle just to see about it’s taste. It tastes nice, the flavour reminds me of something i know still i don’t figure out what but all in all it’s good. Once i hated myself for buying an Ice Tea Green made by Nestea though the Lipton’s one tastes real good. Ice Tea Green Nestea is pure shit. Don’t buy it!
-The New Milka with liquid Caramel that i’ve read about at nwradu tastes good, the caramel is nice , reminds me of the one they put in the Aloma ice creams which is a bit of heaven
-These days at school seem to past so quick….just what i’ve wished for!


*yawn*

Good Morning!

yesterday was a day filled with beer , all kind, black or lager, silva or dab, it was beer. My green jacket’s zipper broke down so i had to take it over the shop that repairs this kind of stuff ( i’ve understood the zipper must be changed, so be it, just repair the damn jacket!) and i were to take it thursday morning. I hadn’t got much time then so i went to take it yesterday, the woman there said i was supposed to come back for it thursday morning but i argued i couldn’t, i lied i was out of town then so i came when i could. He couldn’t do much just gave me the jacket , i gave her the money and that was it. My beautiful green jacket is back in bussines.

When i was heading home i met my aunt who told me she was going to do some shopping over auchan and asked me if i want to come. I accepted , mostly because i had nothing to do at home plus i kind of like to go shopping in this hypermarkets. auchan is great when people-free, although it disposes of large space between shelves , when crowded it’s like hell. So i guess friday afternoon wasn’t a confortable hour to go shopping for most people, so the market was very free.

After that, when i finally got home, i powered the pc then mind my own bussines.

Today, i woke up at 8 am and if i get up at that kind of hour i just can’t put myself back to sleep. I made myself a hot cup of tea,started the pc, put some hans zimmer to get me in the mood and then downloaded matrix revolutions cos i haven’t seen it, primarily because i couldn’t help myself with a good movie so this one was the time’s right choice. It was nice, the effects were incredible. Now i’m downloading Neverwhere , cos i found out it was some sort of mini-series and i just have to see it. I’m just downloading, i’ll be seeing it after i read the book, because this is how it’s nice. I’m surprized by the ~30kbps download speed , afterall i download it from US. Good speed though. 1day and 5hours untill finish.

I forgot to say today i received the missing photos from the bookaholics meeting, the one made by puck
They’re really nice, i guess she could catch a picture of the squirrel in the end + the pics with the kittens are great :D Also she offered to mail me a book i have to read for the bookaholics club. It’s very nice when you meet this kind of people.

I can hardly wait for Pirates 3 to get out ( 25 May ), this movie is unbelievable ! Let us not forget is the last movie from the trilogy. I definetly have to see this one at the cinema.


What?

May 3, 2007

Dupa ce am ridicat catorva persoane nivelul de invidie fata de mine ( mai mult sau mai putin serios :P ) cu poza de mai jos cu toate cartile alea frumoase de Neil Gaiman , am revenit la normal.
Nu mai am mult pana sa pun mana pe ele,asa ca timpul care din pacate se afla intre momentul asta si ala o sa-l fac sa treaca cat mai repede posibil.

Imi place la scoala in perioada asta, se pun note pe niste intrebari pe care oricine ar trebui sa le stie, nu te chinuieste cu iesitu la tabla,cu lucrari sau cu mai stiu eu ce. Asa am reusit sa iau o nota destul de buna la Germana pe un simplu cuvant imperfect . Atat. Mi-am asigurat media la Germana.

Soul Music e misto dar nu e de consumat in cantitati mari , adica cel putin pentru mine, daca citesc 50 de pagini deodata inseamna ca e bine, tocmai de aia nu sunt decat abia la 180 :( . Veniss Underground e pus deoparte pana cand termin Soul Music pentru ca asa mi-e mie felul cand vine vorba de citit carti care vin una dupa alta. Cred ca o sa pun pe Hold Veniss pentru ca mai am si alte carti imprumutate si vreau cat mai repede sa le citesc, “cat mai repede”-le acesta insemnand pana imi vine Gaiman, atunci cand o sa ma incui in casa cu pretioasele carti si o sa-mi cumpar ceva de genul carabina , o sa trag stolurile si o sa ridic factura la energia electrica.

Si ca sa se intelega din alt context cat de mult imi pasa mie de scoala : eu de-abia asta seara am aflat ca maine dam teza la Fizica. Tremur. Now this is what i call interest. Not.

scuzati coerenta acestui post , se datoreaza fabricii de bere Heineken Romania S.A. care fabrica minunata Silva Dark Strong Beer


Unu Mai

May 1, 2007

si nu intai mai cum ar fi normal , asa am auzit mai de dimineata la un post tv. unu mai….dah.
Nu stiu eu prea in amanunt ce a fost pe timpul comunismului 1 Mai ( ziua internationala a muncii nu ? si parca atunci erau serbarile alea pe stadioane si tot dichisu asta nu ? ) insa stiu ca orice ar fi fost atunci s-a transmis usor si pana in zilele noastre.
Cei mai norocosi nu s-au dus la munca nici ieri nici azi din moment ce , ceilalti au muncit in continuare ca si cum ar fi fost orice zi obisnuita din an , si in categoria acestora se inscriu o multime de…meserii sa le zicem , in primul rand cei care lucreaza in mediul de sanatate,politie sau pompieri…dupa aceaia cei din ratb si asa mai departe,nu stau sa ii insir,insa daca analizez putin situatia nu e un strop de discriminare strecurata pe aici pe undeva?
Si tocmai eu sunt ala care discrimineaza si arat cu degetul si rad zicand haha,lucrati si azi si cand tot omu sta la o bere cu prietenii ! …. da,e ciudat daca stai putin sa te gandesti mai atent.

Si cum cei care au avut liber au plecat care incotro pe la mare,munte,padure tot asa ceilalti care la fel au avut liber au stat acasa,au iesit la o plimbare in parc sau la un film. In a doua categorie ma incadrez si eu. Initial am avut in plan sa mai merg cu cativa prieteni la mare insa au aparut niste probleme si totul a fost contramandat, pacat,ar fi fost frumos ( desigur ca nu am fi mers in Vama, nu voiam sa fiu oaie ).
Ce fac eu de 1 Mai ? Pai eu de 1 Mai stau acasa, eventual ies diseara pe undeva, beau bere, mananc un mic/o friptura si lenevesc. Ocupatia preferata a noastra,lenevitul;daca in timpul asta mai vin si ceva bani nu poti sa fi mai fericit.
Asadar va transmit un pic cam tarziu ce e adevarat petrecere frumoasa si sa nu mancati prea mult sa nu infundati spitalele ! si nici sa beti prea mult ( daca nu sunteti violenti nu e nicio problema :) ) )
