Seattle

i talked to my friend, carina, today, in seattle
its raining there and everyone talks about the weather
as if they were brits

being from romania, once surrounded by british friends in bucharest
carina feels at home
with all this weather talk

still missing the sun
black sea coast parties
techno 24/7
go go dancers on podiums on the beachfront
eastern europe's finest
(north of the danube of course)
and this is the norm

carina...giving me an on the spot sales pitch to go with her to burning man labour day weekend
california desert
the last time we saw each other was in amsterdam
her bachelorette party
and then again in bucharest and sofia
autumn 2006
drinking bulgarian wine
with andy
eating sarmale in branesti, romania
homemade by andreea's mother
the best ever
and i'm still set on spending as long as it takes to learn her culinary secrets
my romanian family... the dobres
tuica and the works
in the words of andy "sunt mahmurrrrrrrr"
(it would be "mahmura" if he were a woman)
