Hi,
Just found your site, you have such great thoughts! I don’t speak Romanian but I really-really loved your posts from back around 2012 and even in the poetry part, I loved the drawings. The book distillery was such an awesome initiative. Can’t you come back online?
All the best,
Anna

Hey Anna, thank you for the feedback, I am touched :-)

The book distillery is an ongoing process, I just post photos directly to Facebook and forget to update the list on this site; otherwise - the initiative is alive and doing well. Facebook is easier to manage and it is more interactive; the other albums are available somewhere on facebook.com/raileana.

I am online, in fact - I never left, though I am more concentrated on other matters. Since you brought up the book distillery - there are at least 4 books that are in queue; the photos are taken, but I need to crop them and highlight the interesting bits, write short comments, etc. All of that takes more time than I can find. But I hope that will change in the future.

Oh, you might also like the `bedtime stories with a twist` idea, here’s the first story, still a draft: https://github.com/ralienpp/ray/blob/master/trip.md

See you around :-)

Hello buddy,

have you learnt Portuguese in the meantime? :)

What was that professor’s name? :)

I remember him reciting his poems in the class, and talking about his time in Africa.

What a man. Is he still teaching?

No, no Portuguese except the basics any tourist knows. Here’s an interesting bit from the archive.

Yes, he’s still teaching, I see him every now and then at the uni - Dr. Dragoner.

Ah, everybody so young and handsome.

By the way, I wouldn’t have guessed that was a link, you should definitely update the styling :)

I only realized that when I looked into the email and saw the raw HTML :D
