Last time i dreamt about the sea, i was in a port with huge ships with open hulls, like cargo ships or maybe war ships. And i was walking on very thin long strips of pier, all sense of scale lost to those enormous metal creatures.

“Is he going to be OK? I asked Lola on the way out.
I think so, she said. Filling ice-cube trays with faucet water.
He says he’s going back to Demarest in the spring.

It’s been a very long time since it felt like Romania is a truly democratic country (and I am referring primarily to the presence of citizens in the public sphere). The protests are not just against austerity measures. They are directly aimed at the current government, it’s repeated abuse of power and undemocratic means and methods, not least unquestionable incompetence. Furthermore...
