At 34

I’ve just turned 34. Yesterday.

Is it a sign?

The chair from my desk at home finally broke beyond any possible usage, after a month or two of suffering. I think it is another sign I should be losing some weight! God dammit, maybe one of these days I’ll get my thumb out of my ass and start exercising…

Al di Meola

Last night we attended a brilliant show: Al di Meola live in Bucharest. Not much to say, really, because the show was indeed outstanding.

Car Crash, continued
