Winter friends

What to do when you have a great winter but you also have final exams.

You make window friends. Most of you followed the story on my facebook page. It was way more successful than I thought it would be, so I guess, now that it's over, I'll share it with the world.

That's your mother? Smart one. She reads a lot.

At first, it was only Fulga. I made her one day while taking a break from reading my lectures. Soon, she made friends and they were staring at me going... "Is she still studying?!"

With all the friends I thought she was feeling a bit lonely so I made her a loving husband. Named him Smitten.

Fulga&Smitten. He wears a bowtie. Bowties are cool. And a fez.

And what do you know... they probably loved each other! As the next morning we had a baby. Baby Snö!

They were so proud and happy they had to share the news with the family so they invited Cousin Gigi to come over and occasionally babysit.

There was a whole party going on for a few days to celebrate the happy family!

Until, I had to leave the house one day. I left my snowmen alone, thinking they'd all be good. But when I returned, I found Fulga's head on the pavement. It is unclear to this day if she wanted to follow me because she couldn't bare seeing me leave or if some of her "friends" pushed her. The main suspect in this case is a pigeon. Smitten had his eyes pulled out and his bowtie ripped but I managed to fix him and make him as good as new. Fulga was rushed immediately to the operating room but there was nothing I could do. She lived a short life but a happy one. 

Picture from the crime scene. Caution! might be shocking for some viewers.

Gigi inherited the hat and was left to take care of the family. 

And he did so for the past week. They were smiling at me every morning from the windowsill. Even if smaller and weirder they were still my cute babies. This morning, however, I got the news. Spring is coming and they had to go.

Miros de toamna

Adica miros de pamant, de aer si de lumina calda.

Si un salut cu miros de prieten curios!

Mintenaş, cǎ se rǎceşte!

În pauza de masǎ de la un curs de varǎ, un coleg din Cluj încerca sǎ comunice cu bucǎtǎreasa care îi pusese mâncare la pachet cu o searǎ înainte. Îi  pusese mâncarea într-o tavǎ de aluminiu peste care mai pusese o tavǎ de aluminiu, ca un capac.

"Ştiti... când mi-aţi dat ieri tava... apǎi meream pe stradǎ. Şi am ajuns acolo la universitate. Şi numa' ce-o trecut un tir pe langǎ şi o produs aşe o mişcare a curenţilor... (eu am început sa râd, eram convinsǎ cǎ ǎsta fǎcea mişto, mai şi exemplifica mişcarea curenţilor cu furculiţa prin aer)... ştiti cum? de ǎia circulari aşa... şi au trecut, nu ştiu cum o venit ei... apǎi fix spre mine o venit! Şi cum o venit curentul ala aşe pe dedesubt... apǎi numa' ce mi-o puşcat o datǎ tava-ntre ochi!"

Povestirea mǎ prinsese cu mâncarea în gurǎ şi încercam sǎ nu mǎ înec. Bucǎtǎreasa, în schimb, era complet bulversatǎ. Se uita la el cu ochii mari... şi nu a putut gânguri decât un

"Aşa, şi?"... 

"Aşa şi... cum vǎ spuneam... meream pe stradǎ cu tǎvile..." 

Şi a mai explicat o datǎ cum e treaba cu curenţii ǎia de i-au puşcat tava-ntre ochi, de data asta luând o tavǎ de pe masǎ, pe care şi-a trântit-o în cap ca sǎ înţeleagǎ dom'le tot prostu' care e problema. Bucǎtǎreasa, tot cu ochii mari, se uita blocatǎ la el. Eu, între timp, am reuşit sǎ înghit şi sǎ îi dau un sfat prietenesc:

"Da' bag-o, bre, într-o pungǎ!" 

Exterminate!

Aceeasi carte mai recomanda si compotul indulcit cu aspartam!

so much updated information

the year is 2013. clinical imaging has reached this stage:


I went to the library a few days ago to get my books for this semester's subjects. They gave me for radiology 3 volumes published in 1981, 1983 and 1984.

I also got a Hygiene book, published in 1993 which has a full chapter dedicated to "The Polar Climate" and I  don't know what else because I decided to put it on the "will never use" shelf for the sake of its own integrity.

I've been having the feeling that we are purposely offered useless and outdated information so we would have a harder time finding a job in a decent country where the only information valid is the latest not the one from 100 years ago and where they actually have technology we have never ever ever ever even touched.

Mos Craciun e pe drum!

Si-a spalat hainutele, le-a pus la uscat si acusi pleaca spre copiii cuminti!

Scrisoare catre Mos Craciun

Anul trecut nu ti-am scris si tot nu m-ai uitat. Cred ca nu ti-am scris pentru ca am stiut ca am sa primesc ceva frumos frumos frumos!

Si anul asta sunt sigura ca am sa primesc ceva frumos tare, dar, iti vin in ajutor in caz ca nu ai inspiratie.

Uite, eu anul asta vreau:

• un abonament la patinoar (ca sa ma fac frumoasa fara burtica)
• o pereche de blugi (da... iar am ramas fara)
• o fusta; una, doua camasi (ca sa nu ma mai imbrac ca un baietoi si sa ma tina blugii mai mult timp)
• un ceas cu un cadran suficient de mare pe care sa pot sa numar secundele (pentru ca doctorii au nevoie) dar suficient de mic incat sa fie elegant (oricum stiu ca te pricepi)
• un portofel 
• si neaparat, neaparat, neaparat (fara asta nici nu se poate) cate un pup, un zambet (macar!) in fiecare zi si sanatate!  

Si daca Mos Craciun nu isi gaseste inspiratia in lista de mai sus, eu ma bucur si de un ceai, o carte si o felicitare frumoasa, sau daca este vreun Mos Craciun care a castigat la Loto sunt convinsa ca aici o sa gaseasca ceva frumos pentru mine http://pinterest.com/ruxandraa/ :)

P.S.: Mos Craciun, nu uita sa verifici lista asta din cand in cand deoarece poate suferi mici modificari. (desi, putin probabil)

Cu drag, strumful tau, Ruxandra.
