I'd like to see Brancusi's expo in September. I like his stuff. For his birthday, I once gave Ionel a replica of "Sarutul" ("The Kiss").

I once went on a school field trip, when I was a child, to see some of Brancusi's sculptures. I sat at the "Masa Tacerii" ("The Silence Table") and I remember thinking "how could anyone sit here, the chairs ( Read more... )

Well, it's getting close! Monday is our closing day! 12:00 pm to be more precise. Once that is done, I will immediately begin to pull the snow-white carpet out of the new place. I will replace it with wood parquet in the living room, then I will paint the floor in the bedroom, as well as in the basement. Fun, fun. Then moving will begin. ( Read more... )

I thoroughly enjoyed this article on Bush facing a real reporter for a change. :o)

Moving day is near. August 16th is our closing date.

I'm getting more and more anxious as the day nears, and to my dismay, I can't seem to follow my own good advice. I used to wonder why some psychologists have their own psychologists. I used to think it was ( Read more... )

I just finished an oral test for my French class and got a 99%! This is great because I was simply terrified of it! I hate oral examinations of any kind. I become extremely anxious if I draw a blank. The longer the blank, the worse I feel, the more anxious I get, and as a result I draw a complete blank! I become aware of the pressing silence ( Read more... )

Fahrenheit 911 opens Friday. I can't wait to go see it!

Saturday morning, we met a really nice old couple with a fabulous house, after having seen their advertisement for a free file cabinet on freecycle.com. We had exchanged some emails and decided to go over on Saturday to pick it up. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with them, as did Ionel, while we were trying to get the metal dinosaur into our little ( Read more... )
