I am unsubscribing from Gizmodo because of their d-baggery in handling the iPhone scoop…they have once again brought shame on blogging and that is saying something since most Americans still equate bloggers to sweaty guys living in their Moms’ basements. Their ethics were fully and completely compromised in scooping this story. All so that fanboys […]

MacBook Woes

Posted by on Mar 18, 2010 in david, technobabble | No Comments

So about a year ago I had the palm rest on my black MacBook replaced for the second time. It is a common problem for them to crack, design flaw and all that jazz. When I had it replaced by Apple at their Genius Bar I was told it was being replaced by a new […]

Little Victories

David here, again. If I keep posting it might become a habit. Veronica usually does the heavy lifting when it comes to tough interactions in Romanian. This is because for some reason I still have a hard time understanding Romanian. I can speak Romanian pretty well but the understanding has eluded me. Well today I […]

Cups a Joe (and tea)

Veronica usually writes the blog posts but since this is a subject near and dear to my heart you are stuck with me. I love a good cup of coffee. Wait, let me correct that. I love a huge cup of coffee. But that is a tall order in most places in Romania. Most Romanians […]

Grades

I started entering grades into the catalog today…including the 9 for the girl who’s family was attempting to force me to raise it to a 10…I gave her a week to turn in the extra credit…that week was up on Friday and she brought it to me today with a lame excuse…too bad so sad.

Since we haven’t had regular internet access, we haven’t really been able to share day-to-day stories about this Romanian life of ours.  But here’s a funny one about David’s teaching experience. So David had two weeks of practicum teaching.  The first week was with high school students who were smart and pretty invested in learning […]

Weekend Update with…

We are alive in well in the land of Dracula. We have successfully completed a month of training and are starting to feel like we are learing the language. Buna ziua and stuff. Life is good if a little hot. Who am I kidding it is stupid hot here. We are sweating more than we […]

Goodbye

Well we have said the majority of our goodbyes. We had a tearful parting with our two wonderful cats. Oh yeah we also said goodbye to Dottie. Just kidding Dottie, we will miss you intensely.

Packing

Posted by on May 25, 2009 in david | No Comments

We have spent days packing and repacking. My fingers are raw from pullings zippers and I actually drew blood. No pain no gain, right? The bags are finally packed and stupid heavy. It is weird how a 30 lb. bag feels like 80. We each have about 70 lbs. of checked baggage and 20 of […]
