Here are a few more apt sayings for the "Seriously Joking" section, which I stumbled upon by chance while leafing through old magazines. Some, it seems, could not be put more aptly. So, enjoy! ;)
This Wednesday, 8 February, I watched at the LNO the widely known opera "Madama Butterfly" by Giacomo Puccini. Following - why this musical work and production touches the strings of the soul, but why this time it did not.
On the subject of 3D Secure and recent events where two different people reported sums being arbitrarily deducted from their bank accounts - with the bank recognising the transactions as legal - it made me think about how secure 3D Secure actually is.
Trier's films are grounded in love, forgiveness and evil - with the last being the oppressive, dominant force in people. Evil cannot be resisted with love and forgiveness. The only escape from evil is to physically destroy it.
At last year's talent show "China's Got Talent", a 12-year-old Mongolian boy Uudam astonished the audience and jury alike with his resonant voice and a soul-stirring song whose flow is as vast as the Mongolian steppes.

On Valentine's evening, 14 February this year at 19:00 at Palladium Riga, Linda Leen presents the concert CINEMA. Together with guitarist Kaspars Zemītis and guest artists, she promises to create a live soundtrack to a video world on screen. Tickets available at Biļešu Paradīze box offices - from Ls10 to Ls25. Judging by reviews from her concert at Dailes Theatre, it will be very enjoyable.
People have adorned themselves with earrings for nearly 5,000 years. Historians studying ancient jewellery have established that small ornaments appeared in western Asia around 3000 BC. The oldest earring found was made around 2500 BC and was discovered in Iraq. The popularity of earrings has risen and fallen over time depending on hairstyle and fashion trends.
I knew him as the director of the Ludza Art School, a Latgalian poet and eccentric who, having invited one into his cramped studio where artistic disorder always reigned, could for hours speak of the beauty and power of the Latgalian word and the artistic soul of a Latgalian that must be preserved - written, painted, made into clay pots.
A film that many have hastened to label a new conspiracy theory; others in turn see it as the beginning of a new ideology, a new order - that which will come after capitalism, for capitalism has outlived its time.
