...and I am currently reading the first one...A Game of Thrones
and I watched a few episodes from the movie on Vplay:

until at a point where Ned Stark may be slain....I didn't want to find out what will happen from the movie an spoil the book, so I frantically started reading it. Thank God once again for the wonderfull Internet, where I could find all the books!
And if you quickly want a taste of the movie....

Now...back to reading.....I might even spoil it for you a little after I finish at least the first book!
Until next time, have a wonderful weekend (I know I will, I'm going to Raca!!!!), and give you Des Bisous!

Castelul din Carpati

Am terminat-o saptamana trecuta parca....si dintr-o data am o pofta nebuna sa citesc o carte ce o am acasa, in biblioteca din copilarie...nu mai stiu exact cum se numeste...stiu doar ca este o culegere de mai multe basme romanesti, inspirate din istorie, despre sotii de domnitori, si doamne din Tarile Romane. Stiu si unde e in biblioteca, pacat ca nu pot merge acasa sa o aduc chiar  acum!! dar nu conteaza, ma duc oricum sambata la Raca....:)
Dar, sa revin la povestea citita de mine, care, desi scrisa de Jules Verne, vorbeste despre oameni si locuri din Romania, mai exact despre castelul familei de Gorj, al carei ultim descendent, baronul Radu de Gorj este unul din personajele sale. De fapt, acest castel chiar exista,

astazi o ruina, dar tare mi-as dori sa merg sa-l vizitez....
Insa, hai sa ne intoarcem (din nou)la romanul nostru....unde eroul principal, Francisc de Telec, este un alt roman aristocrat, din Craiova, care se hotaraste sa calatoreasca prin lume, si ajungand la Neapole se indragosteste de o cantareata de opereta, Stilla, cu care urmeaza sa sa casatoreasca. De aceeasi cantareata este indragostit si Radu de Gorj, mai in varsta si mai infiorator decat frumosul si tanarul Francisc, dar la finele ultimei reprezentatii data de Stilla aceasta moare pe scena, moment in care Francisc innebuneste, si ramane vreme indelungata in aceasta stare. Dupa cativa ani, cu ajutorul unui servitor de incredere, isi revine si incepe sa se plimbe prin tara, cand ajunge in satul Werst (din Romania!), unde populatia este speriata deoarece o ruina a unui vechi castel pare a fi bantuita. Nu este foarte interesat, pana cand aude cui apartine ruina, si anume baronului Radu de Gorj, si atunci se decide sa se duca sa verifice. Dupa cateva aventuri infioratoare ajunge in castel (care pe dinauntru nu era asa ruinat precum parea satenilor)..si aici se pare ca o aude pe Stilla cantand....dar nu vreau sa divulg mai multe, ci va las sa cititi si voi si sa traiti suspansul placut prin care am trecut si eu citind!
Mi-a placut la nebunie romanul, foarte bun pentru o calatorie mai lunguta cu trenul, o iesire la iarba verde...sau ceva de genul. Vi-l recomand, mai ales ca e diferit de tot ce cunoastem noi de la Jules Verne, si in plus este vorba de oameni si locuri din iubita noastra tarisoara! Si daca altii au putut si pot in continuare s o aprecieze, noi de ce n-am putea?
Pana la noi peripetii va pup si va doresc o seara cat mai placuta.

Christos a inviat!

Sper ca pentru toata lumea Sarbatorile de Pasti au fost la fel de linistite si de placute ca pentru mine.Vineri am fost la o bisericuta micuta si draguta din Elisabetin, vineri am rosit oua impreuna cu o prietena ...si am mers pe urma impreuna sa culegem iarba de pe campul din spatele blocului meu, ca sa facem un aranjament frumos, si eu cred ca ne-a iesit...
.....
iar zambilele le-am cumparat vineri din Kaufland...erau nedesfacute, astazi de dimineata au inceput sa se deschida si au un miros innebunitor!
Desi risc sa transfor postarea de azi intr-un capitol de jurnal, o sa risc si o sa spun ca sambata am fost impreuna cu aceeasi prietena la cumparaturi intr-o piata de haine vechi, unde daca ai rabdare poti gasi lucruri de calitate si cu personalitate (spre deosebire de toate hainele sintetice din mall si magazine in general...) si mi-am luat muuulte camasi de matase! (dar despre astea o sa vorbesc in alt entry, cand o sa am si poze!) si cateva carti ce imi lipseau din biblioteca:
 Eneida de Vergilius in editie cartonata, Ed. Univers 1980 in stare excelenta cu doar 5 lei!
 Stimme des Windes- Glasul vantului, de Nikolaus Lenau, Ed. Facla 1975 la doar 1 leu!!

 Daca poti rade, sa razi de Petru Rezus, Ed. Facla 1974- 1 leu!
Calatorie spre Dragoste de Ion Jurca Rovina, Ed. Facla 1988 - 5 lei!
(acestia, impreuna cu Lenau, sunt toti trei scriitori Timisoreni!)
Si am mai luat Revista de literatura Secolul20 cu numerele 10-11-12 (129,130,131) - 1 leu!...mai am acasa cateva numere, intr-un timp mi le-am comandat de la anticariate online, dar mult mai scumpe...o sa ma mai duc in piata asta ca sa caut exact aceste reviste foarte valoroase (din punctul meu de vedere, evident!)
 ...si am mai pus si aceasta fotografie ca sa vedeti lalelele perfecte pe care Markus mi le-a adus de la mama sa din gradina...minunat!deci mi s-a implinit dorinta cu lalelele! mai raman narcisele.......

 Am facut si poze cu cosuletul facut de prietena mea, especially ca sa il postez aici:
asa-i ca se pricepe?

eee?
si asa a trecut placut ziua de sambata, cu shopping, papa bun (paste cu sos de peste si fructe de mare, bravo Blondi!!), ceaiuri Dimah geniale!!! si ploaie, si iar ploaie....si frig, incat mi-a fost prea frig sa ma duc la slujba de inviere, dar am urmarit-o la televior. Stiu ca nu e acelasi lucru, dar oricum, a fost foarte interesanta cuvantarea Patriarhului Daniel, care mi-a dat ceva subiecte asupra carora ar trebui sa reflectez mai mult...dar si despre acestea in alt post....

In rest...am stat mai mult in casa, am gatit mult si bine.....puree de cartofi cu pulpe de pui facute cu legume in cucta (sorry, n-am facut poze), oua umplute, salata de vinete, Markus a facut un tort fooarte bun, cu ananas, mango si multa frisca:

 ...ne-am uitat la filme, am citit mult, am dormit si in general ne-am relaxat.
In concluzie, pot spune ca sarbatorile mele de Pasti au fost chiar placute, si sper ca si ale voastre au fost la fel!
Pana la noi aventuri va  dau des bisous, va arat exact starea in care sunt prin foto de mai jos:

 (foto culeasa de pe net, dar imi cer scuze ca nu mai stiu de unde, deci nu pot numi proprietarul! sper totusi sa nu se supere!) si va multumesc mult de tot pentru vizita! Pupici de licurici! (citandu-l pe poetul meu preferat, domnul Arghezi!)

quiet post....

As I am alone these days in my office, my bosses are all gone and there's to much quiet around me...I thought of posting some (low-quality) photos of my zen spot in my office, namely my desk frou-frous and my plant (a Japanese rose).
...actually the Gingerbread Man wants a sip from my tea....
...and doesn't my coffe just look "himlisch"?
...as you can see, these are photos from 2011 (the calendar!!)

...and while I was looking for photos with my office...I came upon this beautiful one...a flower I brought back from Racasdia sometimes last summer...it looks just as if it grew out of my bag!!! wonderful, no?
Until next time I wish you a quiet afternoon, and of course...may the Easter Bunny bring you everithing you wish!!!

P.s. I wouldn't mind if mine would bring me a LOT of tulips!

 ...and, if it's not to much...also a bunch of these....please!!

...in a strange state of mind....

.....as I am waiting for spring to declare it's full victory on our beautiful land, I feel a strange need to hide myself from the world, and as you can see it has also affected my writing...
At the same time, I am easily irritated, and I guess it is the "astenia de primavara" desease that takes its toll on me. But I have a sure remedy for it - my bike, that is I am coming to work by it.
On the one hand, I would rather stay at home and read...The Bible (yep...that is what I'm actually reading right now!!!), but don't worry, I'm not going to become a nun or something, but I am actually reading it for documentation purposes. In fact, I've read it a few times before in my childhood, so much of it is not really unknown to me. In fact, I am reading it for the understanding I can have today, since  am 100% sure that any book (but especially this one!) has a different meaning with age...
I was watching The kingdom of Heaven yesterday evening...

 ...above is one of my favourite parts of the movie, when Godfrey of Ibolin names his lost and found son, Balian, as his successor; the ceremony of making him a kight impressed me a lot (I can't deny that mostly probably because of the old baron played by Liam Neeson...) and I believe that Orlando Bloom surpassed his "cutie " image and prooved himself  in this movie and also in Lord of the Rings as Legolas.
The second image that really put its mark on me was...
credits: anasblogana.blogspot.com
when it is said by somebody "Jerusaleme has come". I can't realy render this in words, you should see my eyes when I talk about this part of the movie....it thrills me! yep...I know....but you should have gotten used to my moods by now......I am what I read......
Except for the Bible, I never really tried to understand the Asia Minor peoples..and although up untill now I would probably reply that it is because of their violent nature that I rejected the knowledge, I must say that the civillisations left to us by Darius and Nabucodonosor  have never left me unimpressed and unwanting to find out more.
 That is why I have decided to enlarge my horizon in that direction too, and my first baby step is to buy
www.deagostini.ro
the collection of DVDs and magazines by National Geographic, edited here by DeAgostini; the first  number being Ierusalim, documentary which I saw for 3 times already....and I have also bought the second DVD-Florence...seen only twice...(:D)

 And of course, I am not going to stop at this documentary about Jerusalem, but don't worry, I have no source to learn Arabic, otherwise........

Bisous!

Army of love........

I have of course a new obsession....and it is called Kerli. I must confess I'm not absolutely crazy about her music, which is not something I really listen to; but I am inlove with her crazy costumes.....
...that if you can get over the music and watch the whole clip...or mabe you'll even like it, I can't say I hated it.....
I looooved the unicorn, her ears, the cartouche on her cest, all their white guns, and above al....her teddy bear mask......
...and in the above one I fell inlove with the make-up, the glitz skull, the tea cups of course!!! the dolls, and again the costumes.....
She sang with Tokio Hotel.....
...for the soundtrack of Alice in Wonderland.......nice, huh???

And this is the last one I am posting.....I loooove the doll look, the dolls, the fluffy skirts, the platform shoes, the black and grey wall paper, the bed of stones, the fireplace of flowers, the stove turned to fridge and the fridge turned to stove.....etc....etc....her hair...and the overall doll house effect....and I must admitt the last part of the above video kreeped me out! I was actually stunned by each and every sequence in this clip....as in all the others...crazy beautiful!

I must admitt I never heard of her untill today, and by accident I listened to the first song and ....uh...did I mention I love the costumes???
Hope you'll enjoy the clips just as much as I did!!! Bisous!!!!
