this is show, people!

You should see Romanian artists' concerts, to realise why we crave for events, not happenings:)

I give you my heart

as my heart belongs to them, right now:)
I didn't go to the Hommage a Michel Petrucciani* show this night, I wasn't in the mood.
But Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli managed to keep me company.
J'attendrai- Django Reinhardt and his Quintet of the Hot Club of France
Aren't they fabulous?


*I wanted to go, as I feel guilty about Mr. Petrucciani. He died 2 weeks after a concert he had in Bucharest that I attended. I had the flu, that time. Didn't cough or sneeze, to spread some Fluegge drops into the hall atmosphere, but he died of some pulmonary infection.

I've been tagged!

the most interesting thing about having two blogs is that you get tagged twice, by people who probably don't know that you are bipolar;)
Pam Pas asked me to tell five things people don't know about me.
Since I am quite new in the blogosphere, I imagine I can tell almost everything, pretending it's something hidden about me.

1. I wanted to be a piano player, I studied piano and I had big concerts with the philharmonic orchestra in my native town. Then everybody told me I could end poor if I don't do something else in life, so I quit. I studied Law and then Foreign Affairs, was on the verge of a PhD in Global Economy but stopped, busy with other plans, see point 4. I still have the piano, though
2. Even if you see me chocoholic, here, I don't eat too much chocolate. Hope to do it again, sometimes.
3. I'm the laziest person you've ever met. I enjoy staying in the house for days ( Thanks, God! my job allows me to do that) reading and surfing the web. So lazy I can't find things in the indoors mess. Being bipolar, at job I am the tidiest person they've ever met:)
4. I've seen death two times, so I am quite used to the idea the Dark Lady might come anytime.
5. I knit ( made my first money knitting pullovers and selling them. Now I knit booties for my friends' babies.) Yeah, cast the stones:)

Departe and Gorgeoux, what don't I know about you?

where to find an orange borsalino hat?

OK, synchronicity beats me, sometimes.
I spoke with a friend about an orange hat to match his purple suit...
I searched the web and, instead of what I was looking for, I bumped into caps, kid hats, chapeaux etc
Now, after a week of not thinking about them, here they are.



Not real Humphie borsalinos but at least very close to... the one near SJP (left) is one to laugh at, but the other one...a thing to admire, my opinion...I bet that guy is playing a guitar...

By the way: do you happen to know a place where my friend could find a men orange borsalino hat?

before bars



Yesterday I bumped into an incarcerated guy letter. Perfect grammar, coherent message, 15 years conviction for a certain Penal Code article mentioned there. Scanned my Penal Law brain drawer realised he killed somebody.
Some hours after, saw some prisoners telling poems. Embarrassing moments for them, I presume, and for those who were listening. I guess it mattered for their files.
TV, some other hours later, prisoners on the screen. Checked my stats, a visit from somebody coming from a 2pac_amaru blog. OK, two times, a coincidence, three, four times what? Was it my prison day? What about you? Are you obsessed by the incarcerated, detention centers and whatever else linked to the society darkest side? visit Prison Flicks, the premier web site devoted to reviewing and discussing prison movies set in or centered around prisons. High seas adventures, action, even love stories. What can you find here: classics like The Great Escape and The Shawshank redemption, other stuff like Jakie Chan's The Prisoner, Sean Connery's The Rock, Chicago the musical, Clooney's O Brother, Where Art Thou? etc.

What, don't we all love seeing inmates as heroes?
song to listen: Stand by your man, the Heike Makatsch version, not the crying Tammy Wynette one:)
