    Yes, though it usually takes me the first act to get into the feel of the language. It's as good as many more modern plays. We have season tickets at Center Stage which is a theater in Baltimore. It's always fun to go, especially if they are doing something new.

    Do you prefer your music live or on a recorded medium?

    Since most of my fav music is from the 60's-80's it is hard to see live, and I can't stand acts from the 60's stc that are still touring. So I would have to say mostly recorded.

    This will make me sound intolerant of modern crap but.... Do bands that release cover versions of other peoples decent music getup your nose and irritate the hell out of you?

    It depends on how well its done. Most aren't done well. I've pretty much moved away from "popular" music anyhow. Picked up three new CDs this week (which I'm sure most won't like) - Silk Road's 'A Playlist Without Borders', Brooklyn Rider's 'A Walking Fire' and Lindsey Sterling's self titled album.

    What was the last book you really enjoyed reading?

    Oh, come on......
    I waited in vain that somebody will answer this because I'd look like a fool mentioning for the third time Maimuta carpatina ( The Carpathian Monkey ) by Radu Paraschivescu. Well, sad but true, I don't read anymore.
    This book is in fact a collection of texts that RP published in newspapers/magazines. And of course it's about my country and life here after 25 years of transition. RP has a refined humour, I like his style and his vision on romanian society matches my own thoughts. Loved to read it.

    What was the last movie you really enjoyed watching?

    I am going to look stupid now. I really don't watch any film. Have not been to the cinema for years and even at home never watch films. I guess I enjoyed Rush even though it had its issues.

    I only watched that cause of the subject.

    Otherwise I never care to watch films.

    What happens in your country on Good Friday? If anything.

    There are a few traditions church related. It's supposed that Jesus was crucified and people go to the church with flowers and then they are passing 3 trimes under a table with a candle in their hands and then kiss a cross of crucified Jesus. in the evening there is a surmon for Jesus burial called " Prohod" followed by a sort of procession. It's like burying Jesus and the procession goes round the church with candles.
    As a kid I followed these, esp. passing under the table was great fun. Now I don't have time for this ( not to mention that at my age and bones troubles i risk to remain blocked under the table ). When my mother was still OK we used to take part to the procession round the church but now I'm not comfortable to do it alone.

    What happens in your country on the Ressurection night?
    ( in my country that's the best part ).

    No disrespect to anyone, but since I am the worlds most unreligious person, my answer would be ??????. Easter was for me simply 4 days off work. I have the utmost respect for people who believe in any religion, but it is not for me.

    Back at work now - how was Easter break for you?

    I hadn't one. I'm orthodox and we celebrate Easter on next Sunday. But we don't have a proper holiday, only Monday will be a day off.

    I had a good q and I forgot it since nobody posted here for days. :
    Does it happen to you to be alone and to talk loudly to yourself?
