It's controversial. I love this and hate this at the same time. I just think it's targetted for people less picky and untrusting than me :D And I hate politics. I'm boring by saying this. I like Obama.. (?) read more...

Heidi Dark Chili
I am that kind of person that, right before a grand deadline, will sit on the couch drinking coffee and eating chocolate with chili and salt. By the way, welcome again to the bloggy blog. I am sure a long period of time will be gone again until I will have a subject to write about. Have not only that, but also time, will and strength. To write I mean.
You "heard" me alright. Chocolate with chili peppers and sea salt. I am too, that kind of person that is curious to try new things, especially to eat. Although, this time I wasn't the buyer :D I must say I don't like very spicy food, I just can't understand it, and I salute those who do. It's just a matter of taste. But this choco is fine. Surprisingly, what intrigued me more was the salty taste, you could even taste the salt granules melting on your tongue. Very sexy :)) Anyway, if you have the balls to try it, be ready, the chili is actually spicy, and you feel it just after the piece of chocolate had melted in your mouth. Another excellent advantage of this type of choco is that it doesn't vanish as quickly as the one with whole hazelnuts (put your favourite one here). Good luck to me finishing what I am desperately in need to finish and good day/week/month (although I hope we don't go so far) to all of you, choco lovers. Or not. In that case, you're lame. :P.

June Update
Tough period of time now, guys. So, let's get rid of a few fresh and not so fresh open tabs that make my browser "move" slower and slower...
- btw, the "Question" has been answered, or NOT, that depends on what you like, really. I think the question is impertinent, the heat is always THERE, '0' is actually not zero, you can't divide temperature and really can't talk about "xtimes colder or hotter" (except for hot chicks and hot guys), let's stick with "xdegrees hotter/colder" :) (see the links provided in the post and comments)
- an autistic man that draws f*cking impressive stuff... again, it's about people with mental disabilities that have these really EXTRAordinary "powers"... check out Stephen Wiltshire's wiki page, drawings and videos.

- The Meth Project: a Montana project against Meth consuming, that's a drug (i wanted to write "horrible drug", but then.. what drug isn't HORRIBLE?!). The impact of the project lists "Teen Meth use has declined by 45%", etc. Very strong commercials, at the VIEW ADS tab on their site. Some said they're too brutal and overwhelming. But then... i said..we are talking about drugs, what do you expect it to be?... My favs, to say so, are "Laundry Mat" from Wave 1 of the campaign, "Jumped" from Wave 2, "Boyfriend" from Wave 3 and "Family" from the last Wave. Also, VERY disturbing print ads, just because the image stays there, instead of more images changing and gone in 30 sec, like in a commercial.
- unconventional marketing piece from Ogilvy&Mather for Calcutta School of Music.
- test for your taste in home deco stuff, very entertaining. for me, at least. if you'd like to find out what style you are, got to mydeco's web site. i love when companies do tests/games that actually are meaningful :) oh, i'm "funky modern", if that's of anyone's interest :P
- i hope you've watched last episode of LOST!!! Ou mi gad. intrigued, intrigued, intrigued! if you like, maybe read this about the episode ;) i never have time to read everything the net is providing about this freakin show :))
- i hope you've seen the "Office Meltdown" or "... Freakout", but here's your second chance, just in case...
and the other angle of course.
they are Russians! just glad to be able to use my language knowledge SOMEwhere :)) and yes, it does look fake to me, but you never know...
- i've been to the Sugababes concert last week in Bucharest, and uploaded a couple vids I made on youtube, here and here, and pictures on picasa. my face dropped when i saw Keo's performance, and.. it was rolling towards the exit doors when Akcent appeared on stage. but thank god, after 2 hours, when the girls came on stage, i was able to pull myself back together and enjoy their amazing voices. btw, for those who whined about the "lack of impressive lights, video projections, amazing decorations" be sure that the romanian show was like an add-on to their world tour and that they usually do have an awesome visual show, check youtube for that. i came for their voices and songs, so that didn't bother me :P
I actually AM doing my diploma paper now, actually working on it, I promise! So, probably long till smth new goes on this poor blog :D Wish me luck. Btw, if you've got some good info on unconventional marketing, pls pass it over to me ;)

Question
If there are 0 degrees C today and tomorrow will be twice as cold, what temperature will there be tomorrow?
Philosophical (ok, it took me about 5 mins to get that right :D), really, question, asked by a friend on Yahoo! Answers and other means of mass communication :)
Some really good (first impression) answers he has got there, but he wants a NUMBER! Someone calculated -136.5C, but that sounds much colder than we would expect twice colder than 0 to be. I have a very good (thank god) excuse to pass this question to the masses and not give a logical personal answer right now, because I had an exam yesterday, one tomorrow, one on tuesday and one on next friday, if u know what I mean. I hope we get a logical and acceptable answer until I'm finished with the exams :D
Good luck with using your brain arsenal!

Secret combination
Fresh news from Eurovision! Yes, I happen to watch it right now. I didn't intend to, but thank god (not!) I caught it on TV.
So Greece starts to sing, and here's what I hear:
Seriously! Not convinced yet?! Listen closer:
Oh sorry, switched them again... Ugghhh.. Well, sorry! but it's kinda hard to say witch one is the original.. Can YOU tell?
More: Tomorrow. It's kinda late.

Pimps an' hoes
Romanian style
here
and
here.
Caution: There is a great chance that if you're not Romanian, you won't understand the humor. Because it's actually so sad, lame, unreal and deceptive :(
And long live the yellow matchy clothes! I have fun every day seeing specimen on the streets.
