Cristian Mihai (born 25 December 1990) grew up in Constanta, Romania. And he's still growing up, or at least trying to. Sometimes he writes. Sometimes he gets lucky and writes something good. He can't, however, draw a straight line. No matter how much he tries. Not even with a ruler. And, please, don't ever ask him to sing.

I have mixed feelings about this coming-of-age/struggling artists in Paris short story. It's reminiscent of the Fitzgerald-era jazz age authors with dark undertones that highlight the seedier side of life. The problem is: it's too much imitation and not enough something new. I don't get the whole thing with William and his family's bankruptcy. It doesn't feel developed enough to make me believe it and it never comes of anything after being such a big part of the beginning. The first half of the story jumps around too often and leaves the reader confused about just where they are.

The Artist – My Review of Jazz by Cristian Mihai
"Bartenders were pouring drinks into glasses, releasing a strong miasma of liquor into the air." - Jazz (Kindle Locations 48-49). Cristian Mihai.
That's the first sentence of the novel and after that I was hooked. Well, the cover actually hooked me first. Like a beautiful woman, I looked at the cover and wanted to get to know the book a little better. And then I was treated to that first sentence and I knew that I was going to enjoy the rest of the story. Jazz did not disappoint me.
The story is about Chris Sommers, a writer trying to find his muse while dealing with an unhealthy attraction to his cousin's fiancée Amber. She's more than just beautiful to Chris. She's something of a goddess. Well, he puts her on that pedestal. Amber seems to have no real redeeming qualities other than her beauty and nearly every man that knows her well tries to talk Chris out of his infatuation. Some even feel sorry for him. Nevertheless Chris follows Amber all the way to Paris, where he finds out things about her that he may not have wanted to know.
Cristian Mihai paints a beautiful picture for the reader. He's a very descriptive writer who not only describes the scenery in such a way that envelops the reader, but he also paints a vivid picture of the players. Readers will feel Chris and Amber's emotions and perhaps even pity them. Jazz is a well written work and Cristian Mihai is definitely a talented artist. I look forward to reading more of his works.

on Dec. 15, 2012 :
At its most basic this book tells the story of a man moving from New York to Paris to see a girl. However, as with jazz music, it takes the basic refrain and gives it back in a new order focussing more on the feeling behind events than their actual facts.
Although it is only 52 pages all of the locations are fully developed and have distinct characters. I was especially drawn in by the feelings of insularity and claustrophobia evoked by the descriptions of Paris.
With a plot based on a man's attraction to another man's girlfriend and many scenes set in the brittle world of parties and clubs, this story has invites comparison with the Great Gatsby. However, whereas I found Fitzgerald's characters unengaging and the romance unsatisfying, Mihai has created a protagonist I wished to succeed.
Apart from the protagonist I found most of the characters objectionable. Mihai has possibly been too successful at creating a world of glitter coated rot; had the characters seemed less like base humanity I would probably reread this sooner.
Therefore I feel this is not a story for those who prefer to like most of the characters or to have happy endings. It is however a story for those who enjoy seeing each word build on the last without wasted effort or over ornamentation.

"The tale of two cousins falling for the same girl is told through the voice of a want-to-be writer as he is on the agonizing journey to find his unique writing style. Mihai writes with amazing details that will place readers directly in the smoky, dark bar rooms or in the bright, packed streets of Paris."
Notes: The author provided me a copy of this book to review. This portion of my review was originally posted on my website:

3 1/2 stars....
This book had a very Gastby-esque feel to it. So if you like The Great Gastby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, you'll love this book. I'm not a huge fan of Gatsby, which was why I am giving it 3 1/2 stars. The author did an exceptional job of portraying the way the main character's emotions towards Amber devolved from a pure idealistic love, down towards a physical obsession.
Though the author got pretty close to Fitzgerald's style of writing, he was never really able to get the depth of character that The Great Gatsby has. But, ultimately, this was a good, quick read.

No precipitation is expected, although this will bring in another shot of cooler air into the area Wednesday. Temperatures at 925mb will be roughly 10 degrees cooler tomorrow than today, where highs have reached near 80 degrees in some areas. Tomorrow, winds shift from the north northeast aiding in the cooler conditions and highs in the low 70s.

As a result, expect highs to remain steady in the low/mid 70s with overnight low temperatures staying in the mid/upper 70s. Models show a mid-level trough moving into the Pacific Northwest over the weekend and shifting across the Rockies and into the Northern Plains early next week. This advancing trough will help to break down the stationary pattern, with surface high pressure shifting east of the area and the mid-level ridge weakening as it slides over the CWA. With winds shifting to the southeast, expect a moderating trend with temperatures late weekend into early next week with highs reaching into the upper 70s/near 80 degrees with overnight low temperatures warming into the 50s. Models show the potential for a weak embedded wave to develop within this weakening ridge, which may produce some isolated precipitation Sunday night. Otherwise, there will be a slight chance for scattered showers and storms Monday into Tuesday as the advancing trough helps to push a cold front through the area.

Short man arrested for stealing the heels of tall women in South Korea
- From: AFP
- September 26, 2012
A SOUTH Korean man, upset by women whose footwear made them taller than him, has been arrested for stealing high-heeled shoes and dumping them in local parks, police said today.
The 24-year-old, identified only by his surname Lee, had stolen dozens of pairs of high heels from schools, restaurants and homes in his neighbourhood in the southern city of Busan in recent months.
''We'd first looked into the possibility of sexual perversion," a spokesman at Busan Yeongdo police station told AFP.
''But Lee said he did it because he didn't like women wearing heels to look taller than him when he's so short," the spokesman said.
Lee, who stands 165cm tall, was caught because he made the mistake of repeatedly dumping a number of shoes in one particular park that was monitored by CCTV cameras.
Koreans take off their shoes when entering homes and some restaurants.
The footwear is usually stored in open shelving at the entrance.

A veteran Philadelphia fire captain died Saturday night fighting a three-alarm fire in a Queen Village fabric store when the roof of the three-story building collapsed beneath his feet.
The collapse - followed by the subsequent collapse of a second-floor roof and two walls - trapped Capt. Michael Goodwin, 53, inside the burning building, officials said. A second firefighter, Andrew Godlewski, suffered burns to his hands trying to rescue Goodwin before the second collapse.
Dozens of firefighters at the scene on South 4th and Fitzwater Streets saluted as the body of Goodwin, a 29-year veteran of the department, was carried out on a stretcher.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The main gun lobby in the United States savaged President Barack Obama's plans to combat gun violence on Wednesday, saying "attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution."
"Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy," the NRA said in a statement after Mr Obama announced a series of sweeping gun control measures.
Mr Obama demanded a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and universal background checks for gun buyers, setting up a major clash with the powerful firearms lobby in the wake of last month's Newtown school massacre, which claimed the lives of 20 small children and six adults.
The National Rifle Association (NRA), a steadfast opponent of tighter regulations for gun owners, dismissed such moves but said it would continue to lead efforts to promote safety and responsible gun ownership.
"Keeping our children and society safe remains our top priority," it said in the statement.
"The NRA will continue to focus on keeping our children safe and securing our schools, fixing our broken mental health system, and prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law," it said.
"We look forward to working with Congress on a bi-partisan basis to find real solutions to protecting America's most valuable asset - our children." Rather than make it more difficult for people to get weapons, the NRA has proposed putting an armed guard in every school.

What Maisie Knew is one of James's most carefully planned novels. In 1892, at a dinner party, he heard about an unusual divorce settlement in which the child was not, as was customary, assigned to one parent, but was to alternate between them. James set down the anecdote in his notebook, detailing that both parents married again, bringing step-parents into the equation. He pondered further on the idea for a short story on this topic from time to time in his notebooks, deciding the child should be a girl. By December 1895 he was elaborating the symmetries for a story of ten thousand words. He finally began to write what was to become a novel of ninety thousand words in 1896. What Maisie Knew first appeared in serial …

So how is everyone? I'm good out here in Sunny CA.
Doing plenty at work to keep me busy...even picked upa GUARANTEED 5 hours of OT a week, in addition to the brutal 12 hour grinds that've become the norm for the weekends.
Can't complain though; keeps the coffers full, the bills paid, and my boyo butt-deep in dinos, robots and TRIO blocks.
Also....got me a good ol'medical mary jane license. Please believe it takes away the aches from working with steel all the live-long day.
Not a moment too soon either....summertime in CA is overdrive for any industry remotely related to agriculture. Gonna need to stay supplied ;)
On the gaming front....just been plugging away at Gotham City Impostors. Probably going to spoil myself and pick up either ME 3 or Amalur towards the end of the month...lest Raccoon City turn out to be good stuff, in which case ill be picking that one up instead.
My toddler boyo is well...his appetite is improving, and his anunciation is improving too.
Hope you're all well, 1Up. If you're not, do your best to get busy LIVIN'.
Love and Respect,
- Darth KiLL

For most part I have always made my Baked Beans from scratch - what I had never done is make them with maple syrup and rum. I only had a 1/4 cup of the rum but it seemed to be just fine. Have made plenty of great recipes from cans as well - but there is something about slow cooked beans from the oven! Made as posted and while very different from any I have made they were very very good.
We loved the flavor in these beans. I was worried about the small amount of brown sugar but with the maple syrup, it was perfect. Takes some time, but so worth it. I forgot to buy rum before leaving town, so I used Seagrams Seven and it worked out great. Cooking times were right on. Thanks susie Made for ZWT4
This is one of the few time I ever baked beans starting with dried beans, & although I might never make them again, the experience was well worth the effort ~ This recipe makes for some GREAT TASTING baked beans! The addition of the maple syrup & rum was, to say the least, a VERY NICE touch! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Made & reviewed while on tour in Canada with the Zaar World Tour 4]

What they said:
"I went down and told him he was about to be the MVP and take us down and score. And I believed that, and I think that came true. That's just the way things were tonight. We had some opportunities that we just didn't take care of. But we've seen Fredi do that a lot and move it around and make some plays with his heart and his feet. And that's what he did."
"The blocked kick -- what a true professional man Steve Caldwell is. We told him on the sideline we were going to block it, and I really meant it. Did everybody on the defensive line get their hands on it? I think it was smothered.
– John Thompson.
"We all knew that we had 1:33 left, and we knew that the seniors need this more than anything. So we had to suck it up and we did that.
"It was awesome. I knew my teammates were behind me, and with two minutes left, they had faith in me. I just wanted to do it for them, and I'm just happy that God blessed me with the ability to do it."
_ Fredi Knighten
The drive that we gave up what ended up being the winning score, it was four verticals. We ran a pretty good coverage to cover it. We just didn't get our safety over the top so that was a big, explosive play that they got on that drive. The touchdown was a pump fake, which our corner bit on a little bit and our safety didn't get over the top of the corner route so that was disappointing execution on that.
On the field goal operation, obviously we were well within range, it felt like even without the personal foul, that we would have had a shot with that really heavy wind at our back. Scott has a pretty strong leg as you saw earlier in the game. I would like to see the film on the field goal. It looked to me like the operation was okay. Obviously they were in an all out block. It looked like there might have been some penetration, but I also think the kick was probably a little low. So we'll have to take a look at that. You guys probably saw the replay upstairs so you have a better idea that I do right now.
