I think it’s the 8th or 9th day of isolation. Today was particularly hard. Emotions hit you when you least expect and today was one of those days. I am mostly numb, and I move automatically from one room to another, also my brain starts having some break from it all. What day is it?… Continue reading Another day
We are in this together

Black Mirror Episode “Day 5”
As the self imposed quarantine continues, the Natural Born humans discover new ways of living. Since in the "imperfect world" there is no imposed order, the Savages must show resilience, self control, compassion, empathy, altruism and other characteristics that are not in their habits. Some governments show surprisingly good management of the pandemic and, even… Continue reading Black Mirror Episode “Day 5”
Brave new world
I wake up, yet again, on the 4th day of what looks like a scene from Huxley’s Brave New World. The year is 2020, 16th of March. I am not within the confined State World, where engineered bred humans are soothed by SOMA, the rules are clear, the pain or depression doesn't exist and each… Continue reading Brave new world

Mercury Retrograde is back to hunt our lives and i am back with it, to complain about.

Fie ca. You know the drill. Ce am mai facut anu' asta si ce mai facem la anu'? Nu? Așa e trendu’ - facem un bilanț al anului care tocmai se încheie si (re)scriem noi liste lungi cu rezolutii pentru 2020. Bineînțeles începem cu mâncatul sănătos si făcut de sport.

The social pressure to drink
As the year comes to the end, as usual, the celebrations get ahead and people start organising the pre- fun of the actual festive days to come. So there are a few weeks before that, where you will probably attend a series of parties and social gatherings, supposedly to wind up after the hard work… Continue reading The social pressure to drink
Care to share an embarrassing moment from 2019?

I drink half of my coffee after having to be nice to people, I get into… Continue reading Care to share an embarrassing moment from 2019?
