The conventional wisdom is that in most cases the choice of a link function is largely a matter of taste. This blog is a link function.

2 days before leaving, the smoker does what every smoker should do, knowing that travels to a country where cigarettes are more expensive than in the departure country.

Buying cigarettes. Got a nice new pack. Yes, the ones with the pictures. First meeting with them.

Disclaimer: Smoking kills! Mkay?

Well OK, I’m staying for 3 weeks. Last time when I decided not to smoke on a trip, I spent somewhere over 60 Euros on cigarettes in Denmark. So no mistakes now!

I understand the anti-smoking approach. I will quit smoking, soon. But these have no effect on me. I mean, our debate team had an interesting name: Show no mercy. Why? It was an interesting site with “pictures of men and women”.

I saw these packs and I instantly started laughing. I’m sorry, maybe I do have problems, but this is funny. First of all:  CAN YOU COLLECT THEM? I couldn’t help opening the pack (10 packs in a bigger pack) to see whether the others are the same. Turbo and Laser, my friends!

Second thought: a joke. You know, with the alcoholics. The volunteer enters a pub, show a nasty picture of a liver. And the alcoholic says: Pfaa, I’ll will never ever eat liver.

And the design is very nice. Clean, stylish, new “red”. Love the new boxes. But: it is a step. A hillarious step.

OFF TOPIC – Something like a POLL:

Talked to my uncle yesterday, to arrange the meet at the airport. He asked me: Will you bring your laptop, palm, phones, camera and MP3 player? I said: Of course. And he: Obviously, because you are a YUPPIE.

The term yuppie (short for “young urban professional” or “young upwardly-mobile professional”) refers to a market segment whose consumers are characterized as self-reliant, financially secure individualists.

Wikipedia

I don’t really know how to make a POLL on WordPress, so just answer in comments.

IS ZOLLER A YUPPIE?

1. Yeap, and a big one as well.
2. Nope, never.
3. A Yuppie never asks stupid questions.

The nicely announced Sven Vath live gig seems to have serious organizing problems. There is no promotion, no posters, nothing. Google sends visitors on this blog, because I’ve published something about this event.

17 May, 2008 – Sven Vath@Cluj-Napoca.

Location: Most of the online information tells us that the event will be in some Heineken/Krystal Tent in the Polus Center Mall Parking. Rumor has it that there will be something in the Obsession Club, but I don’t know nothing about that. Rumor somehow confirmed: after the gig in the Heineken Tent he may play in the Obsession (another 20 RON, unofficial information). I don’t really know where the real party will be.

Tickets: 20 RON (till 17 May) and 30 RON at the event. You can make reservations, but it’s hard. We could not get an answer. And what reservations? Tickets at the Obsession Club, but watch out, just before 16 PM.

Entrance: 21h.

Warm-up: Chris Tietjen – he is good, man!

So, the organizing part sucks bigtime. I hope this is just a problem, not a sign. Some local publications state that there will be a back2back with the Heineken Music Thirst DJ competition winner, some publications tell us that this will be a launch of the Eight Season Album. SO, WTF?!

All due respect to the contest, I’m interested in something else.

Here is a selection of what am I interested in (considered: Songs of the Eight Season, Youtube videos and gigs, interviews – no special order):

1. Pepe Bradock – Rhapsody in Pain [on tube]
2. Tolga Fidan – Tanbulistan
3. Alter Ego -Why not? [on tube]
4. The Amazing – Quest-ce vous voulez [on tube] or [on tube 2]
5. Supermayer – Two of Us (extended album version) [on tube]
6. Italoboyz – Viktor Casanova (original mix) [on tube]
7. Steve Rachmad -  Moog On Acid [on tube(5th song)]
   
8. Solid Groove – This is sick [on tube]
9. Dj Ronaldo a.k.a The Aztec Mystic – Jaguar/Knights of the Jaguar (original mix/Lawrence Bureden radio edit) [on tube]
10. Lucio Aquilina – Magic M [on tube]
11. Extrawelt – Titelheld [on tube]
12. Auidon – Mouth to Mouth [on tube]
13. Would be nice for the sake of the place: Petre Inspirescu a.k.a Pedro – Racakadoom
14. And some dave clarke, argy, john spring, wassermann blablabla…
    

P.S: The reservation number beeps back. Nice! I don’t want to curse now!

Zee: annoyed as hell!

1. On Saturday, we had the opportunity to take some exams. Location: Center for Diversity, Cluj-Napoca. There were no special seats for the left-handed people, so the “writing table” was only on the right side (via Petra). By the way, did you know that weed is useful?

2. Romanian Football League – Oltenian derby, theme song during the team presentations: The Eye of the Tiger…

3. Tomorrow: teaching. Power and authority + list of the brands daily used.

After a bit of informatics, I managed to set the https protocol on my mobile connection, so I am writing from home. It is good to be home and the weather is exceptional.

Somebody stole a thuja (little tree) from our neighbor and he got very creative. He left a note for the thief and it sound like this: You thief! If you steal again, I will catch you!

Haha…Communication rules. Here is a pic, only mobile.

And the most important: Officially is up and running! The “manna.ro” project is working and this means that all the political content will be moved to the corporate blog, only in Hungarian.

My blog is: Targetto – Political Slaughterhouse! Enjoy!

PS: Hail for the Oscars, well done Coens!

Gifts from tze Germany. Danke!

Freiburger Karneval, Heidelberg, Strasbourg (on the fridge and on the button)

One shot. Ezt importáljátok buzik, ne a napfényt!

Same shot: drink and die!

“Operation Overlord (Normandy, 1944) – unsuccessful!” or “The defeat from Kursk was impugned at the Constitutional Court”

UPDATE: Tastes like beer. Fucks like vodka. Filthy little drinky-drinky. Or it’s just placebo.

UPDATE 2: Definitely not placebo. Yummy filthy. Like an experiment.

Reuters gives 51% for Tadic, he claimed his victory, but no data available. Exit polls come, data like this on the home screen (comes directly from Belgrade)

Antena 3: 22:38.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE…WHERE IS THE REST?! (2 candidates, total equals 100%) STINKY!!!

UPDATE 2: Live details from the Nicolic party, they are very sad, so maybe the polls were right.

UPDATE: Reuters text changed.

1st version:BELGRADE (Reuters) – Pro-Western liberal Boris Tadic had a narrow lead in Serbia’s presidential election on Sunday, with a projected 51 percent of the vote versus 49 percent for nationalist challenger Tomislav Nikolic, exit polls showed.

2nd version: BELGRADE (Reuters) – Serbia’s pro-Western president Boris Tadic won re-election on Sunday, narrowly defeating nationalist challenger Tomislav Nikolic, the independent polling organization CESID said.

Zee.

1. Tadic vs. Nicolic. Today, live and fresh! Huge stake that will be concluded by a huge mistake. My guess! Exit polls later today.

UPDATE: 68 % turnout. And via Reuters: BELGRADE (Reuters) – Pro-Western liberal Boris Tadic had a narrow lead in Serbia’s presidential election on Sunday, with a projected 51 percent of the vote versus 49 percent for nationalist challenger Tomislav Nikolic, exit polls showed.

2. Two days and “Super Tuesday”. I don’t know what will happen, but as mentioned in one of my opinion papers, everything is about the following decision: 35 years old white male democrat sees a woman (or THE woman) or an afro-amercian more suitable for representation (you should observe that all the campaign sites are “.com”, hmmm, I wonder why). I refer here to the Edwards voters!

3. And interesting writing tool, found on my desk. Have fun:

Next week in the print!
