same size feet [I]

Din ciclul de povestiri "Ale si ambitia datatoare de viata", iata cum incep eu proiectul world war X cu primul post dintr-o serie inceputa de Imparat. Carte, cantec, film, pictor.

Citim: Dance Dance Dance de Haruki Murakami
Ascultam: Supermassive Black Hole, Muse (eh, hai, bine, nu e "cultura" dar totusi...)
Urmarim: Slumdog Millionaire, 2008, regie Danny Boyle.
Admiram: Still Life, Salvador Dali.



In vesti nu la fel de interesante, acum am varsta legala in toate tarile de care stiu, therefore nu mai sunt jail bait. Eh, asta e. :P De distrat m-am distrat si nu am fost singura in final, ceea ce, clar, nu ma asteptam sa se intample.

look at this photograph

Pasind pe urmele marilor Lomo dinaintea mea (in cazul de fata Ionuca si Ralu), m-am gandit sa-mi iau si eu o camera cute, din anii '60, ca antiteza la ce am acum (anume Nikon Coolpix).

Bun, bun, de luat luam, dar ce. Aici astept si eu ceva propuneri. Mi-ar surade un ActionSampler, dar si Diana+ Edelweiss sau pur si simplu Diana+ sunt interesante. Sincera sa fiu, sunt obsedata de poze soft, dreamy, hm... cum sa zic... airy fairy se potriveste cel mai bine. De asta, tot de Ralu primita ideea, mi-am scos Poladroid. Dar una e Polaroid si alta e un film cu adevarat vechi.

Okay people, someone? Help, please?

i did it my way

Am stat pe proiectul asta zile intregi, de parca il cloceam sau ceva de genul asta. Nu e ca si cum am scris despre alte lucruri super interesante. Ar fi prea usor sa dau vina pe munca, dar deh, ce sa fac. Lene, plus somn plus munca = no entry. Dar, cum peste o saptamana ajung si eu la glorioasa varsta de 21 ani, am decis sa incep o lista de genul New Year resolutions, cu un format diferit.

Ideea a fost preluata de aici. Anyway, e vorba de o lista cu 101 resolutions, de terminat in 1001 zile. Adica, daca voi incepe pe 25 ianuarie 2009, trebuie sa completez lista pana in 23 octombrie 2011. Sa vedem daca o sa pot sau nu! Toate telurile trebuie sa fie measurable. Nu poti spune: "Vreau sa slabesc." Spui "Vreau sa slabesc 7 kilograme."

do i follow the star or the gypsy king?

La Multi Ani, everyone! :D In timp ce lumea sarea de nebuna pe Animal (chi)X si Zdob si Zdub in Piata Constitutiei, am ales sa stau acasa, cu minunata galeata de haleala de la KFC, o pizza de Pizza Hut, bautura, sora si pisoi. Si, cum se decisese mai inainte, Mega Chat of Epic pe Yahoo.

Invitatii au fost Spadez, Roxa si Irinutza. S-au purtat discutii pe orice tema imaginabila, de la minunatiile TV gen Antene vs iRealitati, pana la nume de formatii. Am intrat in 2009 cu un chat de 60 de pagini. Cu ocazia acestei intalniri intre mai marii blogosferei, va spunem, muritorilor, ce am aflat:

  • Maretii vor vota fie pentru actualul comandant, fie vor face desene pe buletinul de vot.

    Avem o groaza de talent in noi si in curand vom castiga premii la Eurovision, Bestfest, Peninsula si Cerbul de Aur. De asemenea, domnul Moculescu va discuta de acum cu doritorii de concerte.

    Mama face prajituri bune. Puteti veni sa ne vedeti cum ajungem staruri dintr-o formatie de garaj.

    Virginitatea nu e ceva de care sa-ti fie rusine. De fapt, mai bine virgin decat clitoris international!

    Toti am avut, la un moment dat, bibeloaie in case. Cine nu a avut peste sau pescar e un ratat.

    De asemenea, regimul de bibelou comunist ne-ar fi putut transforma pe toti in criminali. Cu unii aproape ca s-a si intamplat!

    Fernando de la Caransebes in featuring. Primul concert in Bobohalme, la caminul cultural.

    S-a discutat sex appeal-ul blogosferei. S-a ajuns la o concluzie simpla: BUUUUCUUUUUREEEENCI!

    De asemenea, caii sunt barbatii viitorului.

    Credeti ca 2girls1cup e rau? Incercati lotus boob sau 1man1jar.

    In timp ce unii cauta salvarea in pamantul sfant al Piperei, fie ca sfantul Jiji sa ne proteze de boale, altii primesc binecuvantari divine. Ateii ard in iad.

    Y!M chat a devenit Hostel dupa vreo 3 ore. Eu disparusem pentru conversatia de Anul Nou cu EL. M-am intors, cu toate membrele la locul lor.

    In final, The Doggy Way s-au culcat, ca pinguinii.


  • Pe aceasta cale multumesc colegilor de trupa, pentru ca au fost EPIC si AWESOME si am avut un Revelion bestial. Daca nu credeti ca avem viata, nu aveti bilete la after party-ul de lansare al albumului de debut. Bistosh.

    Acest entry poate a fost un pamflet. Sau poate nu. Multumirile, persze sunt pe bune. =))
