Quality time

Molly Sweeny The title character in this play by Brian Friel has been blind since early infancy. Her new husband wants her to have the gift of sight. This riveting play is told from the perspective of Molly, her husband, and the doctor who performs the surgery.

So I have been to the theater. Again. If Dabija and Rebengiuc sound more than familiar to Romanian theater goers, I promise you will hear more about Lelia Ciobotariu. As Molly Sweeney she gives a brilliant performance that should earn her coming awards and recognition. The Romanian text is signed by the one who has recently updated the Catcher in the rye for the new generation. Bottom line is you go and see for yourselves, if you have the chance.

Homework

Brief introduction. I am it, I have arrived. You know you are it, when you have been tagged, and I have been by this guy. I will play along, somehow reluctantly, because it reminds me of the notebook where you had to answer this kind of questions: “Who is you favourite actor? who is your favourite actress?, as well as this kind: “Whom would you kiss? Do you think they’d kiss you back?”… So here goes.

Four jobs I had: newspaper reporter, radio producer, social research interviewer, interpreter - I only got worried after the fiftiest who approached me and I didn’t know their name.
Four films I liked: this, this, this, and this, but the list goes on.
Four dishes I like: chicken clear soup with noodles or dumplings, mashed potatoes and steak, green salad with salt, sugar, lemon, no vinegar, anything chocolate
Four books: Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger, Orbitor Aripa stanga by Mircea Cartarescu, Hygiene de l’assassin by Amelie Nothomb, Mad about the boy by Emmanuel Adely
Four places I’d rather be now: in bed reading, having tea in front of a fireplace, here, or here.
Four former addresses: Circumvalatiunii means circumvallation, not the circumvolution, Berceni, it doesn’t get more redneck than that, close to ProTV, close to DNA
Four favourite TV shows: their bulletin, Desperate Housewives, Sex and the City, Canalul de stiri
Four sites I click on (almost) daily: intranet, google.ro, imdb.com, and my list of blogs
I tag one who might, one who should, one who doesn’t anymore, and one who wouldn’t.
