Marketing Rush
Yesterday started out like any other normal day: 4 planned meetings, lots of emails, lots of phonecalls to make, research to be made, work to be done, MBA exam at 7:30 in the evening... your basic usual "Mission Impossible".
One meeting was cancelled, I cancelled another one, things were looking up. I actually had a bit of time on my hands and I decided to print my project and homework for the Marketing Exam in the evening. Surprise!!! The file had been corrupted when it was attached to the email...

Kindergarten lunch
I was having lunch a few moments ago all by myself in the McDonald's near the Dolphinarium (Romanian: Delfinariu) in Constanta. There I was gobbling down my Big Mac when the McD's was stormed by scores of kindergarten children, at least 50 of them. I actually had 2 kids sit at the table with me and stare at me chewing my food. Talk about performing under pressure.
Now, I had heard people say that McDonald's is bad for you, but I didn't know they meant it's bad for your head and ears.

My New Idol
Last night as I was taking a walk in Mamaia I saw these two tall, tanned, well-construced blondes waiting for somebody to get out of the car they came with. Out comes this chubby, short, poorly-dressed guy and the two blondes immediately take him by the arms and they all start strolling down the walkway.
So, I'm thinking: It's not the car, a small Opel or something similar. I don't think he's rich, he couldn't be with that car. He sure as hell ain't pretty. So what is it? What kind of secret to babe magnetism has this guy found that I don't know?
I ended up with a few theories. Maybe, he's a world-famous tenor with a really fabulous voice. Speaking of fabulous, maybe he's gay and they're just friends. Maybe those girls like big bellies and that guy sure had the mother of big bellies.
Any other theories are welcome...
LATER EDIT: Due to a lot of comentary I've received I need to expressly state that the title should be seen as being enclosed by a huge set of quotes.
For those who are reeeeeeally curious the video is available upon request.

Fuego & Alesis in Concert
Last night we were invited by our friends from Alesis to see them in the Fuego concert at the National Theater of Bucharest.
It was very different from concerts we usually attend but it was the kind of performance that leaves you very peaceful with very pleasant feelings.
To make things even better I had a special permit to take pictures during the concert. Like a dream come true.

Traffic Jam Sharades
Have you ever found yourself noticing something wrong with another car and trying desperately to let its driver know about it? You know, simple things like "You left your exhaust pipe at the last intersection" or "Your wheel is about to fall off"... usually nothing serious.
It seems I find myself doing this a lot lately. It's pretty fun too. I mean, at least it beats just sitting in a traffic jam for hours. I tell you though: exhaust pipe is a pretty difficult thing to act out and the game can get even more interesting when you're trying to act it out in the rear view mirror for the car behind you...

Moliere's "Le Medecin Malgre Lui"
We went to the Casino in Sinaia to see a play performed by some Moldavian actors.... Moldavian from the Republic of Moldavia that is, Chisinau to be more precise.
The play was Moliere's "Le Médecin malgré lui" (Romanian: "Doctor fara voie", English: "The Doctor in spite of himself"), a good performance of it. Our "brothers from accross the Prut" put on a truly charming performance. Besides the fact that Moliere's plays tend to be colourful and loud on their own, the way it was played tonight really makes me think that Oltenians don't deserve their title as the loudest, fastest-speaking Romanians any more and that this title should be passed on to Moldavians from the Republic.

Rusalii
This weekend was an important religious holiday, the Rusalii. More information about that here (in Romanian).
It is customary for people to give away food on the Saturday of the Rusalii, this being something that my Mother and Grandmother usually took care of. This year it went a bit differently. My mother had to attend the regional dance competition inj Ploiesti with the kids from the Club so I was the one who did the actual giving away. I visited 8 houses in total and I have a feeling my neighbours were pretty glad to see me get involved with the tradition.
See the photo album as well.

New Chicks on the Block
I returned home to Comarnic today to find we had some new additions to our yard, including a new type of chicken (see enclosed picture).
More about that in the photo gallery.

Bowling Night
I went bowling for the first time tonight. It wasn't too bad although my skills do leave a bit to be desired of them. I scored 56 points during my first game and I did manage to strike once in the second game.
You can see a picture of one of many attempts to find a good launching position. I call this... "Dancing Crane".

Midnight Computer Fix
We put together a pretty interesting experiment tonight.
There we were around 9:30 pm trying to fix Costi's computer when we found ourselves in a rare though very likely situation. Having to move the CPU between the old messed up board and the new, bright and shiny motherboard we found it was stuck to the radiator due to the solidified thermal paste. After a few trials the CPU was free of the radiator but we found ourselves in need of some thermal paste. We couldn't well go on without it and there was none to be found in the house. Imagine that!
It was by now 10:00 pm. Where to find thermal paste after 10:00 pm? We went to Metro Militari in search of a complete cooler, but sadly we found out they "don't do components". Stumbling into some friends who were looking for broomsticks (imagine the relief: we weren't the only strange people shopping for strange things at night) they told us Flamingo should be open 24/7 and they're bound to have something. True enough, some Flamingo shops are open 24/7. Unfortunatelly they were fresh out of thermal paste or compatible coolers.
Conclusion of the experiment: if you do have a computer emergency in the middle of the night there actually are places where you might find what you need. It's just a matter of items being on stock. Gotta Love Romania!
