Soho Dolls

I've recently discovered a very, very interesting band. It's called Soho Dolls and the best way i find to describe them is "Placebo meets Anne Rice".

They've only got one album so far, it's called: "Ribbed Music For The Numb Generation (2007)" and it is fantastic. I love all of the songs, especially: "Stripper", "The Rest for the Wicked", "Pleasures of Soho" and "No regrets". But the other songs are awesome as well.








Some of you may be familiar with the song "Stripper" without knowing it. For those of you who watch Gossip Girl, this song was used during Blair's striptease scene, in Chuck's club "Victor/Victrola", in episode 7 of season 1.

Happy beyond words

I just came back from a book fair at Romexpo. Hundreds and hundreds of people and soooo many books...beyond words. I bought six books: one that teaches how to play the guitar, two Anne Rice books: "Violin" and "Cry to Heaven", "Rant" by Chuck Palahniuk, a japanese - english / english japanese minidictionary from Oxford...aaaand, my definite favourite, a book written by one my favourite romanian actors: Horatiu Malaele. I admire him sooooo much, beyond words, he's absolutely amazing. Not only did i buy the book, but i got his autograph!!!!!! I stood in line, i was so nervous i was literally shaking...i got in front of him....he signed my book and afterwards (even though i was half fainting and half wishing i could give him a biiiig hug) i thanked him from the bottom of my heart, he smiled and said "with pleasure". I kept shaking for about half an hour after that and i feel like jumping around everytime i remembered that i got his autograph.

Very good day today.

Stand-up comedy

I don't know how many of you watch stand-up comedy, but i recommend, from the bottom of my heart:

Stephen Lynch:







Jeff Dunham:




Adam Ferrara:

“We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.” - Chuck Palahniuk

I thought this would be a nice way to start this new experience...bear with me, i'm new at this. Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favourite authors and i like that quote. I mean, isn't that what we're doing here? Don't get me wrong, we're not doing something historically important, but it is like a tiny print on this neverending realm of possibilities...the internet.


For those of you who happen to stumble upon my blog, hope you're going to find it at least a little interesting....and i look forward to hearing comments from you.



All the best,
