    From time to time I feel like watching more documentary movies, than artistic ones. This time, I discovered one about Africa and the lands used for agriculture there.

    Black humor. That’s how I would describe Roman Polanski’s ‘Carnage. Sometimes shocking, it actually made me laugh. It reveals the bad in us, all our self deceptions, all our prejudices, our way of patronizing others and feeling better that the rest.

    I received the best feedback so far from my boyfriend for this recipe, so it’s really worth posting it on the blog. He even said that the trout was more delicious that the one we have at a famous restaurant in Romania. For the whole evening, he kept saying that he has never eaten something…

    I’ve seen this documentary a couple of years ago while visiting some friends in Berlin and it’s hard to say exactly how it made me fill. I felt impressed by the power of the things around us, angry at the damage we have made, but also optimistic thinking that there is something that can be…

    I haven’t read any of Chuck Palahniuk’s books before, but I saw Fight Club some years ago, and now I bought three of his books to see what’s the story with this guy. I read Fight Club, Invisible Monsters and Choke. Although everybody said that Fight Club is his best book, my favorite is definitely…
