Cel mai greu imi e sa ma bucur de muzica pe care am ales-o eu atunci cand o asculta si alti oameni pe care nu ii cunosc foarte bine. Problema numarul 1 e ca preferintele mele muzicale se indreapta spre tristosenii, genul de-ti vine sa te tai cu lama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In mod paradoxal, cu cat e muzica mai trista, dupa o sesiune buna de ascultat si, cel mai adesea, cantat (a se citi urlat) peste, mie-mi trece tristetea si ma simt ca noua. Efectul de catharsis. Din cate am observat insa, altii nu sunt deloc de aceeasi parere cu mine. Aveam la un moment dat o colega camera, care m-a rugat sa-mi cumpar ori mie casti, ori ei antidepresive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apoi mai e problema playlistului. Nu e de ajuns ca muzica sa fie buna, ea trebuie dozata si amestecata cu grija pentru a curge firesc si a avea parte de variatie in acelasi timp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In ultima vreme nu prea pot sa ma mai bucur de concerte, pentru ca obiceiurile proaste ale celor din jur imi distrag grav atentia. Cel mai mult si cel mai mult, ma enerveaza telefoanele. Canta omul pe scena la sentiment, publicului ii lucesc ochii, ofteaza in masa si brusc se aude &lt;em&gt;Cavalleria Rusticana&lt;/em&gt;, suna un mobil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In momente din astea, as vrea ca toata lumea, inclusiv oamenii de pe scena, sa se intoarca spre individul cu telefonul si sa arunce spre el cu ce au la mana, telefoane stinse, posete, sticle de apa plata, instrumente etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mama lor de mobile, nu mai scapi de ele niciunde.

In ultimii 5 ani am facut nenumarate drumuri cu trenul traversand tara si nu mi s-a intamplat nimic senzational, nici macar placut. In ultima vreme mi-am coborat standardele si imi doresc doar oameni calmi si fara chef de vorbit despre gripa aviara, ultimele scumpiri si alte subiecte de acest fel, care sa nu scuipe seminte sau sa-si intinda masa pe bancheta si sa manance carnati usturoiati stropiti cu bere, sa se descalte si sa provoace mici holocausturi pentru ceilalti pasageri...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am o prietena care da mereu peste personaje colorate, in sens pozitiv, pe tren... ultima data a calatorit cu un mim care tocmai se intorsese dintr-un tur al Europei si i-a povestit despre peregrinarile lui prin lumea larga, i-a aratat poze si timpul parca a zburat...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu in schimb, de obicei, &lt;strong&gt;nu&lt;/strong&gt; primesc locul mult ravnit de la fereastra, ci pe cele de la mijloc, presata bine intre doua persoane mai ponderale decat permite un loc in tren si fata in fata cu vreun individ care, inevitabil, adoarme lungindu-si picioarele deja nepermis de lungi...

Cunostintele mele in materie de benzi desenate se limitau la Pif si Doctor Strange la momentul respectiv si din pacate nu au evoluat mult de atunci incolo (desi as fi vrut).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.northern.edu/hastingw/maus.htm"&gt;Maus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; de &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.booksense.com/people/archive/spiegelmanart.jsp"&gt;Art Spiegelman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; m-a facut sa vad potentialul nelimitat pe care il au benzile desenate. E surprinzator cat de realista si impresionanta poate fi povestea unui supravietuitor al Holocaustului spusa prin imagini. Partea cea mai interesanta sta in faptul ca, desi evreii sunt reprezentati ca soareci, nemtii ca pisici, polonezii ca porci, iar americani sunt caini, seriozitatea subiectului nu e deloc afectata, din contra.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Citeam pe undeva ca viitorul romanului e &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania/fullview/365STNGOX8N5E/103-8677192-2013414?%5Fencoding=UTF8"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;graphic novel&lt;/strong&gt;-ul&lt;/a&gt; si sunt convinsa ca in lume, in acest moment, se produc astfel de romane senzationale. Din pacate, prin tarisoara noastra ajunge vestea despre ele doar dupa ce au devenit filme, cum a fost cazul (cel putin pentru mine) cu Sin City, Harvey Pekar si splendoarea lui americana, V for Vendetta si asa mai departe... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oare de-ar deschide cineva un comic bookstore in Romania, ar avea ceva clienti? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/maus2_C.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/320/maus2_C.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-114838897259532663?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/114838897259532663/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=114838897259532663&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114838897259532663'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114838897259532663'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/05/benzile-desenate-sunt-treaba-serioasa.html' title='benzile desenate sunt treaba serioasa'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-114802975792632556</id><published>2006-05-19T11:18:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-04-01T13:51:46.680+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Un coleg ca Mulder...</title><content type='html'>Pe o persoana foarte apropiata mie a apucat-o nostagia dupa X Files, asa ca, de voie de nevoie, am tras si eu cu ochiul la cateva episoade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cel mai mult mi-a placut episodul in care, printr-un fenomen ciudat, in timpul unui zbor cu avionul, Mulder face schimb de corpuri (fara voia lui, normal) cu un agent CIA. Un fel de Freaky Friday cu special agents... Mulder se trezeste in corpul unui agent trecut de 40 de ani, burtos si cu o nevasta isterica, plus doi copii adolescenti crizati, in dotare... Agentul CIA se trezeste in corpul deloc de lepadat al lui Mulder, tinerel si lipsit de obligatii, plus o colega roscata (deloc rea, daca-ti place genul cerebral), in dotare... Nu e greu de ghicit cui i-a convenit acest aranjament si cui nu...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vazand corpul lui Mulder locuit de alta personalitate, complet diferita, mi-am dat seama ca Mulder asta e chiar baiat misto si ca faptul ca e misto nu tine de fizicul lui ci mai mult de personalitate: ii plac semintele de floarea soarelui (asta e din alt episod), are o intuitie destul de feminina, simtul umorului si nu se lasa descurajat de apucaturile adesea intepate ale colegei lui, Scully... Profilul colegului de serviciu ideal, parerea mea.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-114802975792632556?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/114802975792632556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=114802975792632556&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114802975792632556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114802975792632556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/05/un-coleg-ca-mulder.html' title='Un coleg ca Mulder...'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-114795214870311016</id><published>2006-05-18T14:28:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-05-18T14:35:48.716+03:00</updated><title type='text'>cu fata la covor</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/nestoftens_polly_web.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/320/nestoftens_polly_web.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mirandajuly.com/photos/images/nestoftens_polly_web.jpg"&gt;miranda july&lt;/a&gt;

I-am explicat ca nu-l cunosc si ca, desi e simpatic foc, nu pot sa-l iau cu mine. El m-a privit dezamagit si m-a urmarit un pic pana si-a dat seama, ori ca m-a confundat, ori ca n-am unde sa tin un catel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chestia asta mi-a amintit de alta intalnire un pic ciudata cu un alt catel cu care am nimerit brusc fata in fata pe strada, asa cum mi se intampla adesea cu oameni. Eu am facut un pas spre dreapta sa-l las sa treaca, el a facut doi tot spre dreapta (2 fiindca are 4 picioare) si ne-am trezit iar fata in fata. Apoi am facut un pas spre stanga si catelul la fel, si tot asa pana s-a enervat  si s-a uitat la mine cu o fata care zicea "hai tampito, hotaraste-te si treci odata!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-114744239554136053?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/114744239554136053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=114744239554136053&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114744239554136053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114744239554136053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/05/intalniri-de-gradul-3.html' title='intalniri de gradul 3'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-114683220140872391</id><published>2006-05-05T15:18:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-05-05T15:30:01.416+03:00</updated><title type='text'>this girl convinced me</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/AnnettLouisan-pic14.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/320/AnnettLouisan-pic14.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that Germans can sing...

Teodora Enache, via Maria Tanase, pe albumul &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Radacini&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rau ma doare inima&lt;/em&gt; se cheama unul dintre ele, e trist rau (se recomanda asezonat cu vin rosu sec si/sau lame de ras, pentru initiati), are niste versuri genial de simple care vorbesc despre un secret pe care autoarea (nu stiu de ce dar nu-mi pot inchipui cantecul asta scris de un barbat) nu il poate dezvalui nimanui (&lt;em&gt;Ce-am facut n-am facut bine / Si nu pot sa spun la nime'&lt;/em&gt;)... ma intreb ce ar fi putut sa faca femeia aia de demult... care e secretul atat de mare, pe care nu-l poate rosti nici macar atunci cand e singura in padure si canta...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al doilea e o &lt;em&gt;Doina din Dolj&lt;/em&gt;... povestea unei femei care scapa de o casatorie aranjata de familie, cantandu-i zi si noapte sotului nedorit cantecele ei triste... pana cand individul se spanzura... Imi place mult idea ca tristetea unei femei obligate sa traiasca cu un barbat pe care nu-l iubeste, exprimata prin cantec, are o forta atat de mare incat devine ucigatoare...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce sa mai zic, cand ascult cantecele astea doua ma simt mandra ca femeile anonime care isi cantau jalea prin paduri sunt bunicile noastre si imi vine sa fac o chestie de care nu ma credeam in stare acum ceva vreme: sa citesc tratate de etnologie romaneasca... Bunicile astea aveau mult mai multa vana decat nepoatele lor de azi care se vaicaresc de dureri de inima se ouiesc si asa mai departe, dar le lipseste forta ucigatoare... noroc ca mai apare o teodora enache din cand in cand...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prima data cand am auzit-o pe Teodora Enache a fost acum cativa ani... la Garana, un sat mic si oarecum de munte, unde se tine un festival de jazz de foarte mica anvergura... Desi era august, era un friiig, asa ca, de voie de nevoie, votca era la putere... Nu cred ca o sa-mi auda urechile prea curand ceva mai frumos decat vocea ei in noapte, fara acompaniament, in aerul rece de munte, incalzit cu aburi de votca... a doua oara cand am ascultat-o, in Bucuresti, nu a mai avut acelasi efect...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-114606104342423824?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/114606104342423824/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=114606104342423824&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114606104342423824'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114606104342423824'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/04/si-am-zis-verde.html' title='Si-am zis verde ...'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-114604672756192060</id><published>2006-04-26T12:42:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-05-01T14:27:19.676+03:00</updated><title type='text'>If you can't write a good song, write about a good song</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/song/"&gt;Nice project&lt;/a&gt; organized by McSweeney's, a library that knows how to address people...

Una e la un post de radio care ofera un premiu mare in bani si alta e la un imprumut bancar care nu necesita explicatii.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce as face eu cu nustiucate milioane?

The most annoying thing about the movie is that it gives an end to a story which is not yet finished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The unfortunate series of books is supposed to have, of course, 13 unfortunate volumes. Up to now, Snicket published only 12. The 13th has not yet come out. I have only read 4 of the books... wish I could get my dirty hands on the rest of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave myself a treat by reading the fragment offered by the publishing house: a sample from &lt;a href="http://www.lemonysnicket.com/excerptpage.cfm?bookid=71450"&gt;the twelfth unfortunate book&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Lemony Snicket guy is a master of literary irony and allusions.

I think Oscars are mostly awarded on political grounds and preferences play little part in decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I imagine a room of producers making a brainstorming on what to award and to whom and their leader saying something like: "this year, best actor in a leading role is a black guy and best leading actress must play a lesbian or vice versa" (no references to real life here)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only time I was happy with the Oscar was when American Beauty got it all and the most annoying victory was that of the bloody Titanic that wasn't pleased with getting loads of money, it had to take all the awards too...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not quite sure what the Academy's criteria for judging an actor's performance are, but one thing is clear to me: they sure like it when actors put on weight for a role and make themselves look different by wearing fake noses (see Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull, Charlize Theron in Monster and Nicole Kidman in The Hours).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let's cut to the chase and get to this year's nominations. The funniest thing is that the two guys in Broke Back Mountain, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, are both nominated for best actor, the former for leading role, the latter for supporting role. The problem is that they appear on the screen for the same amount of time, they are equally gay and equally important for the movie. Maybe Ledger is older or something, or he appeared for 2,5 seconds more on the screen, or maybe he was the man of the lovely gay couple and Gyllenhaal was the girl...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(pardon me, I just remembered Gyllenhaal dies in the movie and Ledger doesn't, that's what makes the difference)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actor in a leading role...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don't know to whom the Oscar will got to... sure hope it's not gay Ledger. Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote is not bad, an the guy did really well in movies like Magnolia, Boogie Nights, 25th Hour, Cold Mountain and Punch Drunk Love. He sure is annoying as Truman Capote, and that is a good thing. So my Oscar goes to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guy in Good Night and Good Luck is not half bad either. Mr. Phoenix playing Mr. Cash doesn't seem like a very big achievement to me. His acting manages not to suggest anything deep or surprising about Johnny Cash, or maybe that's the fault of the script. I haven't seen Hustle and Flow... so the guy in that movie might be the best for all I know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actor in a supporting role...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of one thing I'm sure: William Hurt shouldn't get it...&lt;br /&gt;My Oscar goes to Matt Dillon.&lt;br /&gt;The real one might go to Gyllenhall or Clooney... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acress in a leading role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charlize Theron got it last year so she shouldn't get it again, although she wasn't bad as a new Erin Brockovich in the mine... Keira shouldn't get it either... not another pride and prejudice movie... please...&lt;br /&gt;My Oscar doesn't go to any of these girls... I'm saving it for actress in a supporting role...&lt;br /&gt;But I think Reese Witherspoon will get it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Actress in a supporting role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very tough choice here for me&lt;br /&gt;I just love Frances McDormand, she is one hell of a gal and can have so many faces (the part in The Man Who Wasn't There is so different from the one in North Country and she does them equally well).&lt;br /&gt;Amy Adams did great in Junebug, so cute and so annoying at the same time...&lt;br /&gt;Rachel Weisz's character in The Constant Gardener is the best thing about the movie and she is lovely ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catherine Keener and Michelle Williams aren't bad, but not vey good either.&lt;br /&gt;My Oscar goes to Weisz and I think the real one will also go to her...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Animated feature&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Oscar goes to Corpse Bride ... tim burton is the man...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cinematography&lt;br /&gt;The New World&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Directing&lt;br /&gt;Crash&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best picture&lt;br /&gt;Crash&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so on and so forth.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My only problem with the nominations is that Jarhead isn't mentioned...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-114131629365687724?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/114131629365687724/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=114131629365687724&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114131629365687724'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114131629365687724'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/03/my-oscars.html' title='my oscars'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-114114522082061566</id><published>2006-02-28T18:01:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-03-01T12:08:10.116+02:00</updated><title type='text'>de ce mama si nu tata</title><content type='html'>M-a lovit brusc revelatia ca limba romana e mai mult mamofila decat tatofila. Ce vreau sa zic e ca limba nostra (care-i o comoara) are o multime de expresii care contin cuvantul mama, dar cu tata nu prea are nimeni nici o treaba:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mama naibii/masii (mama masii e deja culmea mamozitatii)&lt;br /&gt;mama lor de... (tata lor de tarani!)&lt;br /&gt;mama este numai una (tata este numai unul - e discutabil)&lt;br /&gt;o mama de bataie (un tata de bataie)&lt;br /&gt;la mama dracu' (la tata dracu')&lt;br /&gt;mama ei de viata (tata ei de viata)&lt;br /&gt;mama, mama! (interjectie)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cam suspect... Cred ca spune despre noi ca suntem o natiune de mamosi si nu tatosi (mai ales ca acest cuvant nici nu exista).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pe langa aceste discriminari la nivel lingvistic, mai exista si ziua de 8 martie pentru mame si nimic pentru tati. Nemtii si englezii au Ziua Tatalui si cu acesta ocazie tatii se distreaza la greu. O iau la picior prin oras cu bebelusi si carucioare dupa ei si beau bere la greu.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-114114522082061566?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/114114522082061566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=114114522082061566&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114114522082061566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/114114522082061566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/02/de-ce-mama-si-nu-tata.html' title='de ce mama si nu tata'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-114000469032529457</id><published>2006-02-15T13:10:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-06-05T02:29:44.613+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello Kitty vs. Emily the Strange</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/emily.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/320/emily.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sanrio.com/main/whatsnew/designs/dec05/cafe.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.sanrio.com/main/whatsnew/designs/dec05/cafe.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/320/cafe.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am amazed at how these cute little cartoon/comicbook characters make loads of money. They have communities of fans on the net, their own websites and blogs and most of all online shopping sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was imagining this fat manager in suit and tie drawing up strategies for making more money out of Hello Kitty. I'm not so crazy about the mouthless white cat, although I can't say I'm not at all charmed by her pinky attitude and her mysterious cute little voice which comes literally out of nowhere since she has no mouth. Still many people (especially of the female sex) would pay double and even triple for a pencil, a t-shirt or anything, just because they've got the little kitty on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite her appearence, this mouthless kitty is a real cool and calculated money making machine. She's got her own goody shops all over the world. But her realm is the internet. She's got &lt;a href="http://www.sanrio.com/main/whatsnew/whatsnew.html"&gt;sites&lt;/a&gt; and she's got a &lt;a href="http://blog.cutekitty.com.br/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; and she sure knows how to sell herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emily the Strange is her opposite. She's anticute,  antipink and has a touch of macabre, which makes her just as popular and salable. The fat manager behind Emily is even shrewder than the Hello Kitty guy (or are they gals?). He is playing with antisocial, anticapitalist stuff to make people buy buy and buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from her darkly humorous jokes, Emily sure sells lots of &lt;a href="http://www.emilystrange.com/beware/buyorDIE/index.cfm"&gt;goodies&lt;/a&gt;.

Adica un om isi aduna toti maruntii din buzunar ca sa ia si el o libertatea, un prosport, o povestea noastra, si un parazit ca mine se aseaza strategic langa el in troleu si ii citeste ziarul pe gratis. Nu e corect. Poate ar trebui sa ii dau si eu detinatorului de ziar un leu acolo pentru articolul pe care l-am citit sau poza cu sanii nicoletei luciu la care am tras cu ochiul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recunosc ca eu nu imi iau nimic de citit prin trolee. Scuza ar fi ca oricum e aglomerat, dar adevarul e ca, fiind intre atatia oameni nu pot sa ma concentrez la citit, decat atunci cand vreau sa vad ce citesc ei, normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesante chestii mai citeste lumea prin trolee. Ieri, de exemplu, am tras cu ochiul la o donsoara cu ochelari care citea dintr-o carte... de rugaciuni...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ziarele vedeta sunt libertatea si alea de sport...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desi ma jur ca n-am dat banii in viata mea pe fituica sus numita, recunosc ca din ea citesc cel mai mult in tramvaie. De ce? Simplu: pentru ca are poze multe, titluri mari, si mai ales femei dezbracate... care atrag negresit privirea...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exista totusi si anumite inconveniente atunci cand esti cititor clandestin. De exemplu, daca posesorul publicatiei observa ca tragi cu ochiul la ziarul lui, el se va opri mai mult la pagina cu plicticoasele stiri cu ultimele scumpiri la gaz si va trece rapid peste apetisantele pagini mondene si cu fata de la pagina 5, pe care o va privi indelung acasa la el, linistit pe WC...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-113992058981136035?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/113992058981136035/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=113992058981136035&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/113992058981136035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/113992058981136035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/02/dreptul-de-cumparator.html' title='dreptul de cumparator'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-113991761492239773</id><published>2006-02-14T13:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-02-14T14:40:25.850+02:00</updated><title type='text'>dragostea-i ca si o raie</title><content type='html'>de velantains eu atat vreau sa zic:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;iubirebibeloudeportelan undedragosteneenimicnue oiubiredeneuitat neuitateleiubiri loveisintheair theairisinlove cineiubestesilasa lasa-ne lasa-ne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;si&lt;br /&gt;sa mor eu din dragoste ranita daca nu am dreptate...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-113991761492239773?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/113991761492239773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=113991761492239773&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/113991761492239773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/113991761492239773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/02/dragostea-i-ca-si-o-raie.html' title='dragostea-i ca si o raie'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-113950585070966957</id><published>2006-02-09T18:45:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-02-10T11:39:53.743+02:00</updated><title type='text'>topul cersetorilor</title><content type='html'>Sunt la moda topurile celor mai bogati oameni de afaceri, celor mai de succes  femei de afaceri,  ceor mai a'dracu' lupi tineri ai managementului si asa mai departe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Da' cersetorii de ce sa nu aiba si ei topul lor?

Era cam ora inchiderii si poate din cauza asta nu am gasit decat cutii de lapte marca ZUZU, de care eu una n-am mai auzit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ca sa fiu sigura ca in ambalujul, cam dubios, e lapte si nu altceva, m-am uitat mai atent la ce se zice pe cutie. Si ia uite peste ce am dat:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-style: italic;" lang="RO"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Zuzu e lapticul care vrea sa te tina in puf si sa te alinte. E tandru, bland si atent. Nu-si doreste altceva decat sa aiba grija de tine din zori pana-n seara. Sa-ti tina de urat si sa te rasfete. Iar daca ai sa-l bei seara, inainte sa adormi, Zuzu o sa-ti gadile visele intreaga noapte. Te vei trezi zambind si vei simti nevoia sa soptesti in zori, „Bonjour mon Zuzu.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;" lang="RO"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-style: italic;" lang="RO"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;" lang="RO"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;M-a distrat textul, recunosc, si m-a pus pe ganduri, grele ganduri la raionul de lactate...&lt;br /&gt;In ultima vreme ma tot intreb daca un om care scrie texte pentru reclame mai poate reactiona ca un consumator obisnuit. Adica, citesc si sunt atenta la genul asta de texte fiindca sunt ele demne de atentie sau doar in scopuri profesionale ca sa vad ce se mai scrie. Raspunsul la intrebarea asta nu l-am gasit, dar cert e ca pe lapticul ZUZU l-am cumparat si l-am luat la mine acasa (poate pentru ca era singur pe raft).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi-a placut mie si de Fulga care era o mare vaca la vremea ei, da' laptele nu l-am baut niciodata... deci una e sa-ti placa reclama alta e sa si cumperi produsul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In alta zi am dat si peste iaurtul ZUZU si l-am cumparat ca avea si el text misto, dar cine vrea sa-l citeasca sa treaca pe la raionul lactate...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20473045-113879137179351022?l=silentleaf2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/feeds/113879137179351022/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20473045&amp;postID=113879137179351022&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/113879137179351022'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20473045/posts/default/113879137179351022'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://silentleaf2.blogspot.com/2006/02/textu-la-cutie_01.html' title='textu&apos; la cutie'/><author><name>silent leaf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17765022117738170077</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5265/2051/1600/281.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20473045.post-113864854102683229</id><published>2006-01-30T20:45:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-02-17T14:53:36.220+02:00</updated><title type='text'>aici se ascut creioane</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;continued...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vineri seara, frig afara, ma indreptam incet spre casa cu nasul in fular dupa o zi in care am suferit o infrangere sangeroasa in lupta cu cuvintele...
