Overactive


I was accidentally stranded this late morning at the supermarket at my corner. A fauna of senior citizens were staring at the small price labels, while young mothers were double pushing strollers and shopping carts. A lost lust provoking sun tanned youth was navigating among the selves, parading his fake P-Diddy diamond ear stud and one size too small flip-flops. Finally, the sales assistant took an incredibly long time with my eggplant salad and pork meatballs, but I have managed to make it to the cashier, who melted my heart with a brief loathe-loaded look. Had it been laser, this account would have not been to start with. I love the supermarket at the corner. It is called Gulliver, and we the clients are always cast as Lilliputians.

Other random thoughts

Google me gently. No more googling me?

I sometimes think we are doomed to be caught in the loop of the same mistakes. Also known as routine.

Sales beats marketing. This is a rant. I am a subscriber for a magazine, and I cannot help but noticing and be bothered by a situation that has been repeating itself during the past months. In brief, the magazine hits the stands upon release, but it takes two more weeks before it reaches me, a member of their constant readership and also a guarantor for their regular income. I feel neglected and frustrated by this type of relations with the client and I do not intend to fall for a renewal of my subscription. Proof that sales are not marketing, nor vice versa. In Romania sales are the marketing of the moment, and that is a shame.  Posted by Picasa

When the things are hitting the fan


What you see is the documentary proof you can create your little iceberg in your (read “my”) home freezer. The photo is old by now, measures have been taken, the 3 kilos of ice are presently down the sh!t hole.

Other signs of a crisis, one should be able to identify at once:

- when you cannot find a clean cup for your morning coffee, although you own more than 30 different cups, all on location.

- when the soles of your shoes release from the floor tiles with a suction noise. In this case you have to check first for unlikely cupping glass or suckers.

- when you find one of those little things you put into the electric anti-mosquito plugs. Used and now inside your fridge.

Fucking crazy?


The squirrel was fucking a nut. The fox comes and asks “Are you fucking crazy?”
“No, I am fucking nuts!”

This is instead of my rant re fucking drivers who don’t know how to park and make me go round the block.

I also hate fucking wet towels left on the bed, when I want to go to bed.  Posted by Picasa

Regrets?


My blog is my personal SPAM. Revisiting some of the old posts, I realize I FORGOT the personal hidden clues I thought were dormant safely there. As it turns out only forgotten things are truly safe. Mine are. Or I am just getting old. Not a day goes by that I don’t get older.  Posted by Picasa

Etymology


The fucker is an f-word.

In real life, it can be a person as well.

If you want to point the relation of this person with your particular situation, then it is then “a mothafucker”.

disproportions are usually pointed out like in “the little fucker”.

In this particular case the little mothafucker was a piece from a metal pipe, with two pointy fangs that wanted a bite of my tire.

I am very sour. On the bright side, my personal best time is improving, ten minutes! Twenty including the shower. I am talking changing tires. Then I took Vava to the airport. Where we had the most expensive sandwiches. And then I took the rest of the day off and I also wanted to take Nicole to the movies, but I ended taking a long sleeve blue t-shirt. I liked today. Apart from the mothafucker, but I picked him yesterday.  Posted by Picasa

Send me your screws, nails, odds and ends, screw me, nail me, awe and end me!


I will gather them with my tires. As I lay flat in my bed I just know my car sits on its flat tire and I almost cannot bring myself to remedy this situation. Only that I have promised a lift to the airport. And when I say this I see a monkey: too-zee-air-port! too-zee-air-port.

Things that got and didn’t get to me lately: that I am pathetic and frustrated, he has started to like you, you just need the affection, I don’t want to depress you.

Nothing much has happened: a kiss, a good-bye, everything goes on, business as usual. Some get a divorce, some get a holiday, or, as another friend of mine puts it, some see “turnu’ Eiffel”, some see Turnu Magurele.

Interesting concepts that have brightened my life these days “clothes from the future”, “urban family”. Maybe I will revert with more details.

More drastic measures, soon

Gheorghe has once threatened to keep on publishing the same article until at least one hundred people sent him an email. And he did get to publish the same article the next week. Apparently he got the one hundred messages he wanted.

Need I say more?

Fill in my Johari window, please. You don’t want this blog to keep on publishing the same post, that would be boring. Thank you.

Whom did I sleep last night with? (because I was depressed)


With a box of Belgian pralines with hazelnuts, the remote control, my mobile, a newspaper, instructions for Kalanchoe and the crumbs from dinner.

4 AM I dreamt somebody was ringing my door bell. For some reason I extracted myself from bed, checked the door, pull the key out. There was nobody. I hate irregular sleeping patterns.

Last night I fall asleep watching Hannibal.
