OMG it's the last day of November, I'm leaving in 3 days, and tomorrow I have to rehearse that assignment that it has been shifted of two weeks. Great. Meanwhile, I've just made a secret post for secrets_ita and I challenge you to understand which is mine. It's pretty obvious, your brain won't have to work too much. Thank god today they cancelled all the lessons I had. I managed to do a bunch of things (market, buying books, mail office, buying a couple of bday presents in advance) even if my book with 16 plays by Goldoni has not arrived yet and I need it!! I have to read those 1000+ pages during Christmas holidays, or I'll be dead.

As for other things, nothing much happened lately, apart the fact I've been in Milan to see a friend, and I saw The Beauty and the Beast! I finally read The Time Traveler's Wife, but I haven't cry! I was slightly disappointed by that, I had too many expections about the crying thing, and maybe because of this I didn't cry. I don't know. Anyway, I liked it. And today I've seen the last Audrey Niffenegger's book, I quickly read the back cover, and I think it takes a horror/creepy turn. When it'll come out in paperback, I'll may buy it. Now I'm reading The Angel's Game and Bleak House. Yesterday I've watched Dorian Gray. Thankfully I didn't expect anything of particulary awesome, so I wasn't disappointed. I may say that it was not that bad. Even if Ben Barnes needs acting lessons. OMG the room was pretty dark and I thought "I really need more light" and now I'm realizing the lamp is on! I don't remember I went to turn the light on. Creepy! Great, now I'm scared.

Sometimes I've the feeling that the guy in my house I stand the less knows that I can't stand him. I'm always kind, civil and fair. It's him that never says hi or starts an interesting conversation. Besides, everything that comes out from his mouth is stupid. And I can't help it, but I put on my smarter than you face when he's around, with no intention, and I fear he noticed it. It's something undeniable and objective, he is stupid, and the thing which bothers me the most is his idiocy. My physical reaction is acting in a smug way in his presence. He doesn't miss one episode of Uomini e Donne (Italian trash tv show) and sometimes he watches also the rerun during the night, when he's not playing poker online for the whole day. He doesn't have a degree, he doesn't work, and he's already 26 or so. I wonder if he has a plan in his life, cause it doesn't seem so. Anyway, the other day I was talking with another fellow flatmate, and she aksed, during a calculation, how many weeks there are in one year. I answered 52 straight away. At the same time he said 48. An awkward silence fell, and I felt embarassed for him, so I pretended nothing happened. But he continued saying that 'sometimes the number changes'. OH, COME ON. You've got to be kidding me. I glared at him, cause he'd be better for him not to contradict me ever again in something he's not able to handle. Culture. I didn't spit poison cause I'm always a good boy, and I said just "It's 52. Word." I'm glad he's here just to share bills in 5 instead of 4.

On a more smarter note, I had a flu these past days. I caught it last wednesday, when I went to the library of the Conservatory to look for a couple of librettos for that work about operas. There, I bumped into the chick from Cesaroni, the main girl, and I was all what the hell is she doing here?! Anyway. I've found what I was looking for, and I run to photocopy them, luckily they were from 1803 and 1804, because things before 1800 can't be photocopied, unless you take pics without flash. The Conservatory is in the centre, and I looked for a photocopy shop in the little streets that there are there, clutching those librettos 2 centuries old, god, I felt like I was in a movie! Ahem, back to the topic. Illness. I came back home that night and I have 39.5. I died in bed with potatoes on my forehead (my flatmates knew this old remedy) and I took a pill. For two days I've been without fever for 8 hours and then I had to take another pill to stay feverless. I was starting to worry, cause it wasn't normal having a temperature this high without any other symptomps, I was perfeclty fine, apart the fever, and even when I had 38/39 I didn't feel weird. So yesterday I called the duty doctor, and the lady asked me all the infos, saying that in 3 days I was going to be better. Then added "Well, you may have caught the swine..." Excuse me?! I just said I had nothing apart the fever, neither breathing issues, and even I, that I don't know anything of medical, know that the swine manifests breathing issues like coughing, and you tell me I may have the swine?! I simply thanked her, and hanged up. She was right, tho. This is the third day, and for the first time I'm fine without pills. *weeee

Today I found out that in my group for the work on Ossian there are the two weirdos of the class. I mean, there's this guy who looks like a serial killer. He's the classic guy with glasses, almost bald, always wearing shirts and sweaters, never a tee. I heard him mumbling on his own once, and the thing freaked me out then. He has the looks of the loser version of an engineer. Like the one who maybe is Una Bomber (Italian serial-something..? He's never killed anyone, as far as I know). Anyway, my blood froze when I found out he was in my group. At least he seems pretty into the study-thing, I just have to avoid he could stab me in the back (literally!) or make explode my pens. The other one is a girl not-identified named CIRA. Her weirdness is in the name. LOL, kidding. But she's weird, like she just wants to do the job, and she'd do it by herself if she could. I felt this today, I don't know. I trust her more than the other guy, though.

I've 4 more classes to attend, and they're all in the afternoon! So no more free tuesdays (even though it's still my lighter day, I've just two hours from 1 to 3), and my friday will start at 9 and will be finished by 8-ish. Goodbye free time to watch tv shows. MEH. Today I've started just one of the new classes, where there's no book to study or notes to take. We just have to make a movie! A mini one, of course! Which means = another homework for next monday. Everyone must prepare a general script, and then the prof will choose 4 or 5 to place them for every group of people we're gonna form. I had no ideas during the class, but I've thought about something while I was on the bus, coming back home. My trouble is that it must be a short movie, but I don't know how much short. I hope not 5 minutes, cause I'm not capable to think about a story which lasts only 5 minutes. I hope mine could fit 20 or 30 minutes. It's like a pilot of something, argh, why am I capable only to think about things in series?? Even though I haven't got a proper conclusion yet. I'm at page 2 of my children story (which should be at least 30) and at page 12 of my script (which should be at least 60). The short script for the class is almost finished, though. *phew Gonna watch new episode of Girl Number 9 to distract myself from business.

Corrections! I did dress myself for Halloween, even if my costume was not that complicated. Both me and my mother wore buttons as eyes and played the Other Brother and the Other Mother, from Neil Gaiman's Coraline. OMGCOOLINNIT?! We turned our head while we were in the kitchen and my sister was shocked, LOL.
( Be careful what you wish for. )

My suitcase is not ready yet, and I'll be so loaded by stuff, I think I'm gonna take a cab tomorrow. I think, as soon as I'll reach home, I'm gonna eat something for dinner, and then I'll die in bed, ready for the following morning (uni lesson at 10 am, ugh). I could start The Time Traveler's Wife tomorrow on the train. I've 8 hours to kill. It's possible I can also finish it.

OMG I've cried watching SJA. That was too short, I really need the Specials, I need them. Seeing the Doctor bouncing around, followed by some sort of companions (the SJ gang) made me really happy. Such as hearing the engines of the TARDIS, which tries to land but can not because of the Trickster. Even the guy hinted at the regeneration, blabbering something about the 'Gate', and talking about the loneliness of the last of the Time Lords, left alone by all of his companions. *wipes tears. The saddest part was the end, when he let the kids have a glimpse of the TARDIS, and they were all excited, whishing a ride (but they have been grounded by the Judoons in the first episode, LOL) and then the Doctor shared a little chat with Sarah Jane, telling her how much important she is, followed by his "Don't forget me" which hit me in the chest hardly, even because he stayed alone, leaning on the console, with a sad face, watching SJ going away while the TARDIS doors were closing. That was the end. David Tennant ended his career as the Doctor playing the role one last time for SJA (he had already ended the filming for the Specials by then). And now, The Waters of Mars, airing at 7 pm on BBC 1, on the 15th of November.

Now I'm gonna look for some Girl Number 9, the web series by James Moran in which Gareth David Lloyd and Tracy-Ann Oberman are among the main characters. W00t! Hope the thing will cheer me up. Meanwhile, drop an eye on erychan86 's LJ, cause she's doing a picspam based on this last episode of SJA right now. No idea if she's gonna finish it by the end of the day! :P Happy Halloween to all of you, tho. Mine is not gonna be so cool. None of my friends are around, I'm stuck at home, the day after I have a train at 09.55 am to take. So I'm basically staying at home, while my sister is having a party with 5 of her friends. I've known them for years so it's not gonna be weird. I'll let them watch movies I want, like Psycho and Coraline, w00t! I could wear a costume since I'm co-hosting this party, but I fear my sister wouldn't be amused by that.

I'm in Sicily. I thought I would've had time to watch like a zillion of things I haven't been watched yet but I guess I was wrong, since it seems I have to do a lot of things in a short time and I'll be in Rome again in a about a week. The last week and a half was terribly busy. I was at the Rome Film Festival, and I gave you a glimpse of it when I wrote that quick post about Hachiko. On the other hand, I had a uni homework, as in a group research, with people I don't know (cause this class I'm attending is something I'm doing alone, and not with people I already knew) and I'm uncomfortable with the fact the professor gave the work today, while I was away, meh. At least I got the subject I wanted, Ossian and his influence on the Opera of the late XVIII century. While, during the other class, which is about theatre i n Italy in the XVI century, I've been chosen to read for the whole hour Callimaco's lines from the Mandragola. I hate reading in front of people, my lines were extralong, while the other person I was talking to had lines like "Yes, it is" or "As you said." Damn, I wanted that part. It was obviously ancient Italian, yay. It didn't go that bad, though. And luckily there were less students cause that day there was a strike of public transportantion.

On a domestic side, I'm busy writing personal stuff (unfinished), a script for a pilot episode of an Italian tv series (I hear you laughing) I'm writing with a collegue of mine (it's a contest, so I can't discuss it on the web, I could be banned. For those who are interested, I'll tell you about it via other ways), and a children story for another contest. And the deadlines are approaching OMG I HAVE TO WORK ON THEM LIKE NAO. I got supahexcited watching the last episodes of Sarah Jane Adventures with erychan86 from 2 to 4 am. There wasn't a real villain, but OMG the Time War was mentioned, although not by name, OMG THE TARDIS AND THE DOCTOR THEME, OMG he is returning! OMG K-9 IS BACK! Our skype chat window was pretty LOLZ during these moments. The alien was pwetty, they hinted at interspecies alien sex! ZOMG! And I'm gonna kick someone if Maria won't show up before the finale to snog Luke. I also want a spin off with the alien, the ship, the boy and the old man. And James Moran tweeted me back! Even if he was just correcting me cause I thought he wrote the episode, but I was wrong.

I've decided to let my mum watch Legend of the Seeker, I think she may like it. I'm gonna leave her also FlashForward, she'll definitely love it. She loves this genre, starting with Alias, going through Lost and Fringe, and now FF. I'm just upset she isn't into other Joss shows. She loved Buffy, but not Angel (she watched just something from the first season) and watched Dollhouse pilot, but she was not impressed. Meh. I'd really love to introduce her in the wonderful world of How I Met Your Mother, but I know she'd freak out at the superquick lines, and she'd have no time for reading the subtitles. And there's no way I let her see the Italian version. *shudders

I'm almost finished Wizard's First Rule, the first book of the series of the Seeker. I really wanted to finished yesterday, but I was too sleepy, and the words were starting to mean nothing to me, so I gave up. Even if the image of Kahlan, naked, during the Con Dar was pretty un-sleeping :P I miss the last two chapters, and I should buy the second one on Play.com as soon as I can.

I just came back from Avenue Q, and I have to admit it wasn't so bad as I expected. I was desperately looking for company, so I dragged Pier Paolo with me, a former classmate. I had found out an offer and we basically payed a half priced ticket. It was also the opening night, then I spotted some vip people in the audience, such as Pippo Baudo, guy from Montalbano, Maestro Mazza, Maria Giovanni Elmi, Massimo Lopez, Chicco from Amici... very interesting personalities, as you can read (!). Saying that the puppets are horrible even in real life is a kind way of describe them, but at least the acting/singing skills of the cast were good. Special mention to not!Simon, not!Jon and not!Clare, they have been very good. Not!Julie was okay, but she didn't blend perfectly with the puppets. Not!Clare was a more convincing Lucy in the very brief moment when she held her, than her. It's obvious they youtubed a lot the show, cause some of the movings were exactly the same of the OLC. I was glad that the structure of the stage was a sort of default from the original show and that there was an actual orchestra playing real music, very rare in musicals made in Italy.
( Pics from the show! )

Mmm. Differences, let me think. Trekkie and Kate are not reffered as 'monsters' but 'furry' so even the school is a furry school. Mrs T has a German accent. Rod is reading a book about Raffaella Carrà. The money song features euros and not dollars, of course. There's Bossi instead of George Bush, and they mentioned Villa Certosa in the tour of Lucy. The mixtape has only Italian songs (including La donna cannone). And that is all for now, I took some pictures and no one cared, so I'll add them as soon as I get home, since I'm writing this entry from my cell to save useful sleeping time!

Today I've cried my heart out for 90 minutes, consecutively. I was watching Hachiko - A dog's story, that last movie that came out, with Richard Gere, that I swore I was not going to see cause every movie with dogs in it make me cry, no matter what the plot is. Of course the movie version of 101 Dalmatians (and stuff like that) is not included. Spoiler-y recap follows.

I've started from the very beginning, when Hachi was a puppy in a cage and stood up in front of the professor, and even during all the first half of the film, where the scenes were supposed to be funny. But I know what it was going to happen, and the music, god, THE MUSIC WAS HEARTBREAKING. There was always the same theme, and variations, but the theme was that, and my heart was in pieces everytime there was a scene with that music. After the professor's death, my eyes became open taps and I never stopped crying. I also began to sob, and I was not the only one. The fact he brought him the ball the very last day, and that he spent all his life in front of that train station, waiting for a man who never came, was just... I have no words to describe how I felt. Maybe because I thought if my dog would do something like that if I die. I cried so much I couldn't breathe from my nose and I was afraid I was going to have breathing issues. I also had a headache the last twenty minutes, and I was really looking forward to the end, I really couldn't handle it anymore. I'm getting teary-eyed just because I'm writing of it, god. I'll never watch this movie again, it wasn't even this big deal. In fact, I can't stand modern adaptations of oriental things for an occidental audience. At least they made a final note telling us the real Hachiko's story. But even the end, although it was a cliché, with the dying dog that see all of his life with the professor, and the professor who calls him from paradise, or whatever, was so hard. God, I just wanna hug my dog right now, and luckily I'll see him at the end of the month.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!

I've never been so excited after an episode of Merlin. This means this one really rocked. First of all, it was a Morgana centric. I knew from the beginning I would've loved it. But the ships! Oh god, there were really something like four ships, AT THE SAME TIME!! Okay, calm down, I need some kind of order.

01. They took back the Merlin/Arthur, vaguely as the first season. There was Arthur who was taking off his trousers in front of Merlin. Then he was all jealous because Merlin brought flowers to Morgana and not to him, and he even waited for him at one corner of the castle, warning him about the fact he will never have a relationship with Morgana. Yeah, sure, cause you want him to have a relationship with you! LOL.

02. Glimpses of Arthur/Gwen, which didn't bother me at all. Arthur played all defensive, when Uther thought that the fire could've been due to Gwen's distraction. And they smiled each other behind Uther's back. Aw.

03. Uther/Morgana. People I know ship them, and I've never seen anyhitng between them actually. But in this episode I sensed something. And I know their shippers will be happy for those scenes. Like Uther at the end, when he hugged her, or when he was super-angry when he learnt about the fire, or worried for his kidnapped ward. Yeah, sure, now they called them wards. LOL.

04. Merlin/Morgana. OMFG I was scared they could actually bring this ship on, cause I felt it like it was something wrong. But it's not! It's awesome! All those "I'm lonely, no one could ever understand me, I know what you're going through" were killing me! And I was there, yelling at the laptop "TELL HER! TELL YOU HAVE MAGIC TOO! STUPID MERLIN!" and I was dead at the last scene, when  Merlin went to her room, and she was like in bed, but she was all dressed up, with make up, jewellery, and stuff (I hope she hadn't gone to bed like that) and there was this weird candlelight, and I was hoping he came out of the closet, like she did to him. *sighs That would help her, and she wouldn't be alone anymore.

Mordred was pretty scary too, even if I would've let him have a manifestation of his power in some other way, rather than a yell. It was strong, but not that much, after all. WHOA WE HAD A GLIMPSE OF EPIC YELLOW-EYED MORGANA!! W00T! And in the promo, she was fighting with something (or was she just training?) with a sword, and there's the return of Lancelot, so we'll have ALSO the Gwen/Lancelot, LOL. Seems to be a nice one, except for the vision of that huge mole, but whatever. Oh, and hello Doctor Moon. Never known you were a druid before being an AI on the Library Planet.

The new fall season has begun, and I dreamt of being in one tv show which is still in hiatus, for at least another month. I was the Seeker, yeah. Better, I was Richerd Richard and in the dream it was pretty irrilevant if I was the Sekeer or not. The most important part was that Kahlan and I couldn't become 'intimates', because of all the confessing thing. Well, in the dream it happened a sort of thing very 1x17-ish, in which I had this power of controlling people, so I commanded Kahlan to follow me in another room. The moment we locked in, we burst in a laugh, because we're just pretending, it was all a scene to play in front of the others (don't know who the others were) THEN we started to do something, but something happened and the dream shifted to me at the exam. Bloody hell. I still don't know if that part was a good of bad sign, cause the prof asked me things and I was blank. I answered things but in an awkward way. And then she gave me a very good mark, and I was like what the hell? Okay. Maybe that was due because yesterday I found out that my exam will be in 12 days from today and no more in 5 days. Which would be a good thing, too bad I'm just bloody tired of dealing with it, and I would have preferred the D-Day on this saturday, not on the next. meh.

En ce qui concerne other tv shows that actually began, we have reports on -

Desperate Housewives, which is now at its 6 year. I felt old this morning when I watched it. It's not like Lost, cause everyone knows that Lost would've lasted 6 years. Desperate Housewives is like something that you don't expect to be over. It became a show in which all is happened and still they keep to make up new storylines, new mysteries, even if everything has already a déjà vu taste. New mysterious family of this season. Creepy dad which looks cool on the outside. Young-ish mummy, buddy type, weird scars on her back. Like caused by fire? Teenage boy who acts like a psycho. Been there, done that. A the end of the episode someone (probably one of this new family) strangled Julie. I thought she was dead, but in the promo she's at hospital, so the new mystery will be who attacked her, I guess.

It was premiere day even for Brothers & Sisters. I have the feeling this year is gonna be more drama than comedy, meh. There are really few ABC show without people with cancer, uh? Thank god it's monday and it's HIMYM and BBT night. Really need something to cheer me up. It's also Castle night, and I've seen the premiere just yesterday (almost a week late from the original airing), OMG how much I can love the Fillion?? I'm waiting for a BAM! Said the lady-line, I'm just here, waiting for it. :P Too bad the daughter has now a fringe. Not a good fringe, fringes could be love. But hers.. yuck.

Merlin came back too, but my favourite character has been MIA for 2 episodes. Meh. Luckily next one is gonna be Morgana centric, THANK YOU! It's gonna kick some ass, too. Can't wait. And Michelle Ryan is rumored to be back this season, still don't know how, still don't know if she's gonna be evil again or not.  Dollhouse was one of the best premieres I've seen, more for the Whiskey-storyline though. The scene with her in lingerie in Topher's room was pure. genius. I <3ed her, and I love Amy Acker even more. I'm just sorry she signed just for 3 episodes for this season. Meh.

And I'll finish on an economic note, since thanks thegrownupthing I'm now in the eBay business. LOL. I've just sold two items, and I've earned the huge amount of 3,99 € (I'm not counting the money for the mailing). W00t! I've the sense the two of us are gonna be the next hosts for 'How to become millionaire thanks to eBay', a show we spotted on the tv guide when I was at her home last time. :P

OMG I've just had my hearing back, I've been daft by one ear for almost 2 days, and I was going out of my mind. If my senses are not okay, I can't study, and my exam is just 9 days away. I got a cold these past days, I don't know how. Although I have some hypothesis. I could've caught it when I went to the station to see Eliza, because the weather was meh, it was raining, but it was hot, and I sweat and maybe it wasn't so hot as I thought. Or.. OR. Staying around eryslash which had a cold, for three days, could be a possibility too. I remember too many used napkins around her computer! Anyway, I couldn't stand one more hour in these conditions, so I went to the nearest ENT specialist. When I crossed his door, I panicked cause it was a HOUSE. Nor an ambulatory or something. And an old lady with a broken arm opened the door. Creepy enough, y/y? The doctor came in and I was scared cause it was like 80 yrs old? My mind was starting movies in which he, because of some trembling hands, would make me daft for life, ripping my eardrums and stuff like that. Then I saw many certificates, and I noticed he was the head of some big hospital/university, so I calmed down. It was good too, in his work. Old skool wins. And it was cheap too.

On another note, I've changed some of my user images, and now I've a couple of new shiny icons, squeee! And erychan86 said that during the weekend I'll probably have a surprise, I LOVE SURPRISES (I look like Marshall, right now, can't say why, I just hope to not be whipped in my face :P). AND. I have the accredit to go the Roma Film Festival, WOOOOO (now I sound Lily)! I don't even know what big names there'll be, I know just Meryl Streep will be there, with Julie & Julia ( thegrownupthing, you were saying something about this movie, last time we met, but then the topic died and I still don't know anything about this movie :P). I'll have the chance to WALK ON A BLOODY RED CARPET,  all sleek, and people behind the fences will think I could be some actor, or something. Guh. I already have a date, something every star should have. She's a uni mate, and very pretty too, so we're gonna be an awesome couple. I'm sorry just because I won't be able take picture of myself on the carpet, it wouldn't be the same thing, that'd be lame, taking pictures of themselves on the carpet. I could ask someone to take a picture for me. That's better.

As you probably already know, Eliza Dushku was in Italy till this morning. She announced this trip something like a week ago, saying she was going to visit Florence. Then she added she would have seen Rome, too. Okay, major freak out *salutes. The real interesting part of Rome, I'd say better, the tourist part, is really circumscribed. It's all around Via del Corso, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna and Colosseo, all things easily reachable if you're already downtown. She tweeted she was at the JFK on saturday night, meaning her flight would've been here sunday morning. I was tempted to go to the airport, because that was a chance I couldn't waste, I knew exactly where and when she would've arrived. But I gave up, cause being at the airport at 7.30 in the morning means waking up at 5.00 and spending at least 20 euros for the journey (return included). And above all, I was worried she could be rude to me cause she would've been tired, jetlagged, and I didn't wanna seem too stalker-ish.

I wasn't worried cause visiting Florence AND Rome means staying here at least one whole week. So it would be easy for me meeting her, given that she's always tweeting about what she's doing and where she is. The following morning, as in yesterday, I woke up at 8.30 cause I couldn't sleep another minute. I haven't even slept well, cause I was too agitated. I met eryslash and we headed downtown. We stopped at Fontana di Trevi, and we started to watch people. It wasn't pouring, but the rain drops were wetting me. Ariel's sister called her after a while, saying she tweeted she was on a train from Florence to Rome, so we rushed to Termini, but when we arrived, both eledh_3 and valexina told us she was actually on a train from Rome to Florence. We gave up chasing her for the day, and returned home. Yesterday, during the evening, she tweeted someone about being home next weekend, so I thought she would've stayed for the whole week. But few minutes later she said she would've caught a train at 6 am and a flight to come back to USA. Then I realized she's actually planned a holiday, IN ITALY, of barely 1 whole day. Congrats Eliza, remind me to not consider your advices, ever, for a holiday. Anyway, it was 1 am, I was chatting with erychan86 and chakram86 and I told them, out of the blue, that I'd be gone to Termini, cause to take the flight back she had to coming to Rome. So I checked the trains schedule for the next morning, and there was actually a train from Florence to Rome at 6.00, arriving at 8.30. I setted my alarm clock at 7.00 and tried to get some sleep, but I stayed awake at least till 3.00, cause, again, I was agitated at the thought of meeting Eliza. This morning I woke up, and run to the station, arriving 30 minutes earlier. and I've waited near the track. Do you wanna know how all ended? I've actually taken a picture of Eliza and her brother.
( CLICK! )

That's how I'll always remember her. She arrived, I saw her, and I've waited she came out from the crowd. Then I approached her, just saying "Hey, Eliza! Do you mind?" to stop her. She didn't even look at me, she kept walking. I thought she could've not heard me, so I reached for her and, walking by her side, I repeated "Eliza..?". She was a stone. She walked, not even glanced at me. I was near to poke her on her arm, trying to convice myself she still could've not noticed me, but I was literally beside her, I spoke aloud. I eventually didn't touch her, cause I wanted to avoid some punch or kick, or, worse, a look full of hate. Then I stopped, she walked away, she approached her brother, probably saying something about me, and went away. I would never imagined she could be this way. I'd never said she could be such a diva person. I haven't acted in a weird way, I wasn't sure a loony or a crazy fan who started screaming or something. She just pretended I wasn't there, like people who don't wanna buy anything by hawkers. I began to wonder why she acted like that, maybe she didn't want pictures cause she thought she was a mess (but she wasn't, believe me) but my camera was still in my backpack. Or maybe she was scared that stopping for one person would have attracted other curious people who hadn't realize she was her. But in all those cases she could've at least said something to me, looked at me saying "Sorry, I can't stop, I'm in a rush". I don't think she was mobbed by hundreds of fans during this holiday, apart people on Internet and Twitter and Whedon fans, no one knows her here. I don't think common people stopped her saying "Oh look, it's Faith from Buffy!", even less, mentioning Tru Calling, which in Italy was aired late, around 11.00 pm and for a short period of time. And Dollhouse has just started on cable tv. She is a total unknown person here. And for one person, ONE, who stopped her, she had this behaviour? Then don't tweet. Or if you wanna have a Twitter account, don't say what you're doing, if you don't wanna be bothered by fans. I had this total different picture of her, since she seemed nice to her followers, she's a really active Internet person, she's all 'Yeah, demonstrations, I'm going to protest with common people, cause I'm one of them' and that image is shattered now. I clearly felt my heart going to pieces, while she walked away. I almost cried, too. And for a second, a very brief second, I seriously thought of never watching Dollhouse again. But it'd be stupid, cause I can't do this to Joss. Having said that, I don't know how I'm gonna react when I'll see HER during the episodes. Or how I'll feel when I'll rewatch episodes of Buffy or Angel with her in them. Faith was my favourite character in the Buffyverse. I guess I'm gonna try to focus only on the character, and not on the actress. I don't even know if I should write something to her on Twitter. Not being rude, of course, cause I'm surely not the bad-mannered one in this story. I don't know. I just want to forget this morning.

Hello again. I'm not dead, I just wasn't in the mood for posting, or, mostly, because I had no time. September is almost finished. What have I been doing meanwhile? Wrap-up time! In the second half of August, I literaly lived sticked with Laura, one of the few RL friends back in Sicily I really love to hang out, cause she always drags me with her everywhere, and makes me meet new people, and we always have good times. This time she stayed home just for 15 days (cause she works in Milan, so she had to go there by the 1st Sept.) and we squeezed all the things to do in those two weeks. Which was a lucky break for me, cause the less I stayed at home the better was for me.

I had already decided that, once she was away, I would've started to study. That was not properly possible cause my sister had the brilliant idea of going to Rome without saying anything to anyone. So my mother and me chased her and while I stayed in Rome, they returned home. It was another lucky break, cause the only reason why I would've stayed in Sicily for other trhee weeks was going to the beach. Soon after my departure, it's been raining for two weeks! Ahah. After all I really missed staying on my own, even if this means cleaning house, going to the market, etc. I really couldn't stand one more day at home.

While all this drama was happening, I found the time to watch two seasons of T:TSCC and falling in love with Cameron, and had the temptation of throwing my laptop out of the window, after the series finale, cause THAT is not an acceptable finale. Bloody Fox, you were going so well, not cancelling Dollhouse, and having good shows such as Fringe and Glee, and you axed T:TSCC. This is not fair. I'll be always here, waiting for an explanation, cause I wanna have a real closure. And OMFG SHIRLEY MANSON WAS GOING TO BE PART OF A MAJOR PLOT = more Scottish accent. Cold comfort was watching all her appearances at the Craig Ferguson Show. I watched even a couple of Ewan McGregor, just for the accent. And now I want to see a gig of the Garbage, too. *sighs

I'm catching up with Legend of the Seeker too. I was told that a beautiful human being was part of that show, and OMFG HOW COULD I HAVE SURVIVED WITHOUT KAHLAN TILL NOW?! Everytime she fights/confesses/smiles/sweats/breathes/lies down I die. I have to see other 10 episodes to finish the first season. And then the second one is starting in about a month, YAY!

I finally finished to read A Lion Among Men yesterday. I have been reading it since last december, holy cow. That is how much I liked that book. And the thing that enrages me is that the most interesting part of the book was in the last 30 pages!! And now I hate Gregory Maguire cause I wanna know what happens next. Meh. On the other hand, I bought The Time Traveller's Wife two days ago, at last. I think I'm going to start it soon. I'm in the mood of crying for a book at the moment.

And this is pretty much everything that you needed to know about this last month. I have an exam in two weeks, uni is going to start in the second week of October. Plans involving seeing Laura for her birthday, the Scoobies in early december in London and the DW gang at New Year's Eve in Verona (? still to be confirmed, but I got that the Pi's house is unavailable). Time to spend at home = the less possible, undefined period between 15 and 30 Dec. W00t!

I'm writing this down on my laptop off line since I came back home from Genoa and I'm still Internetless. Or better, I've the possibility of going on line but only in the kitchen! And I'm so not going to move my laptop there cause it's old and there's not even space for it. So I'm going to use the other laptop (this is very Fiyero-ish), which is like less of 1 year old, but has passed through the hands of two or three technicians thanks to my sister and her stupid websites of games online.

Anyway! I'm basically cut off from the world, cause I'm not going to use it that much during the afternoon, and in the evening my parents are always in the kitchen watching tv. Er, I kinda forgot to tell that this is due to some sort of punishment, and not because of problems involving my Internet line. In a few words, my parents (or better, father) basically went nuts and decided that having Internet in my room is tiding me to it for ever and ever, for the rest of my life. I keep staying in my room even without Internet doing other stuff (watching tv shows, reading, drawing, etc) to prove him that what he's saying is wrong, or at least, Internet is not related to that. I stay in my room cause.. er, it's my room maybe? With all my stuff and all my clothes, all my dvds, all my books? Oh shut up, stupid parent, you're so not worthing my 'desperation', you just deserve to be ignored by me, cause I'm superior to you, in every aspects which involve humanity.

Two days before I had my plane to Genoa I just really couldn't stand his behaviour anymore, so I've started to reply to him and I dramatically went out from home, slamming the door without saying bye to anyone. This costed me a whole day and a half of not speaking to anyone in my house. So the day before my actual leaving I left home soon after my lunch and went to both of my grandparents to bitch about him. I seriously spent something like 6 hours bitching. I'm a genius. And I felt so much better, cause obviously they said I was right, given that he's crazy and I'm not. Just before I left the house to get my coach to the airport the followinf morning, he dramatically (yes, we're such a drama family) said it was all right and did emotional stuff like hugs, blahblah. I was not impressed at all, cause it's always the same story, I'm not that naive, I know it's just a matter of time before something else could happen. Bloody father, my heart is a stone thanks to you. In fact, I came back yesterday and nothing changed. He's still crazy, he keeps screaming at the phone, during our dinner, ALWAYS. He was not arguing with me this time, but I just can't stand him as a person if he keeps to act like that. I hope my nerves help me to hanging on or I could end like Rapunzel, closed in my room for ever. Meh.

Let's talk about something else, I'm tired of all this emoness which comes out from my entry. So, as I said, I went to erychan86  to spend some time with her, since it was a long time we used to joke about parentsitting her parents. river__ and laz75  came along too, few days later than me. I knew she lived in the countryside, but I had never thought I could've witness an appearence of a boar in the middle of the street! LOL. Aside from doing the usual, like going out, to the beach, and going for a drink, we watched a lot of things! The first night I saw for my first time Reservoir Dogs! And then we watched the whole Fires of Pompeii episode, and parts of Partners in Crime.
The day after it was time for 10 Things I Hate About You, cause she and Morry wanted let me see another sit-com, and I'd never agree before watching the actual movie. So I saw Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles in the end of the 90s, messing around a school. Than I've made Ery watch Mulholland Drive, cause I wanted to see her reactions, which were pretty much LOL. It was my second time, and this time I spotted Miley Cirus' father as the pool guy, and Phil from Lost who was the guy who fainted when he saw the monster/homeless outside the bar. We spent one evening watching the rest of the Skins episodes that we had to watch to finish the 3rd season. With Laz and Morry we watched Casanova by RTD, in three episodes, and we spotted a lot of people from the Whoverse. Then it was time for Mean Girls and 13 going on 30 to relax our minds, and then we watched 1408, a sort of horror/psychological movie, with John Cusack, inspired by a Stephen King's book (of course, not all in the same day!). We also played Risk, and for the very first time in my life, I won! During the match, there was Partners in Crime on tv, and then we passed to Silence in the Library. During all this time I ate like a pig (or boar? :P) in fact it seems I'm not hungry anymore here at home. Now they're all in London, while I'm here cause if I want to go in December, it was better this way, even cause my parents would never allow my many departures for everywhere.

Meanwhile, I've read a lot of books. I've finished The Monsters Inside, which was the third book of the DW New Adventures. It wasn't very good, cause 9 and Rose spent almost all the book separeted, but apparently it's the only book which is referenced in the series (in Boom Town). I've read two little novellas, one 10/Rose, I am a Dalek, and another one 10/Martha, Revenge of the Judoon, which were pretty good. I've read in less than 24 hours a book I've bought last year at a Waterstone's near Covent Garden, Slam by Nick Hornby, which wasn't as wonderful as other of his books, but you can read it and have a laugh anyway. It was about two 16 years old who have to deal with a pregnancy, so all the fears, the dreams, problems, life, not the things or the problems I could have right now. Not being a 16 yrs old maybe influenced my thoughts about the book.

And now let's have a meme. fudaliciousfud tagged me, so go on.

( Meme time! )

I was forgetting to say I just saw Repo! The Genetic opera, and I loved Blind Mag. I wish she could've had more time, sigh. And I also watched all the Terminator movies (the first three) cause I want to watch the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and they were awesome! I couldn't believe I hadn't ever watched'em! Can't wait to catch up all the two seasons of SCC.

I'm feeling like posting even if I haven't anything really interesting to say, so probably this is gonna be one of those entries with random events/facts passing through my mind. After those days with pictures and filming reports from DW season 5, nothing else happened. And this is driving me crazy, cause I'm craving for more news! I've heard that this new production is gonna referring at this season as 'series 1', still don't understand why. Confusing y/y? Planet Gallifrey seems dead since May, the last news was the choice of the new companion. Meh. But we've got great news from Comic Con, with the brand new trailer for the last episodes for David Tennant, which gives me the chills every single time I watch it. It must've been also all the squeeage when Donna appeared, and when Simm turned his head and the narrator's voice (Guh! Dalton!) said "His name is.. the MASTAH!" *flails since monday. Apparently imdb is not saying anymore that Gillian Anderson will play The Rani in the finale, and this is bad. Meh.

Comic Con has ended, thank god, cause I was literally falling apart thinking that the whole world was there except us, poor little things living in Europe, and with a conflicting schedule which didn't allow us to leave for San Diego. Felicia Day is a dork and I love her, with all the pics she posted, especially that one with the hot Disney chicks, LOL. Juliet Landau squeed also because her manager was able to give to RTD and Tennant her comic book (I guess it was a comic book wrote by her..? Or was it the Dru comic she's usually talking about?).

And Joss has said something about season 2 of Dollhouse, and I'm pretty pissed off by the fact Amy Acker should be signed just for 3 episodes! Dammit! But we'll have the chance to have more Summer Glau and Alexis Denisof! YAY, especially for the first one! :P Whedon alumni, coming this way, please! All of you!

I'm about to finish season 2 of Skins. I've started to watch it last week, and once again UK shows > USA shows. I really don't know if young people today act like that, destroying houses during a party, ending naked, spaced out, drunk, with puked tees, etc. Maybe I am the one too naive to think that the events represented are too exagerated. Don't know. I just know that I love Cassie and Effy, and I simply died yesterday, when I watched episode 2x07 Effy, with a beautiful Effy/Cassie interaction (even because the angsty situastions cleared up, and the right couples came back together, YAY! But I have still 3 episodes to go, and I'm scared something else could happen to them). As soon as I'll finish the season, I'm gonna watch the first two episodes of the third one, and then I'm gonna watch the rest with erychan86 cause she still has to watch it! Next monday I'm gonna leave to go to visit her in Genoa, and I think some serious craziness could happen LOL.

I found out two old cds I had! One was a mixtape with songs from Bring it on + other things which reminded me of Eliza (like Praise You, which I downloaded after listening to it in an episode of Tru Calling!) + songs about cheerleading, like U.G.L.Y., while the other one was a greatest hits of the Better Than Ezra, a band I discovered thanks to Desperate Housewives, cause they're the ones who sing the Juicy song in the promo for the second season, if I remember correctly.

My dog was bitten last week by another dog of a stupid lady which let her dog free altought he's quite 'overexcited'. So the vet put on my dog's back 10 stitches, but not 'real stitches' with needle-and-thread, like Kate sewing Jack in the pilot of Lost, he put on him something like pins of a stapler. But they didn't resist, so we went back to the vet and then he properly put the real stitches. Now he's getting better, and in a week he should be fine. I'm finishing whishing happy birthday to laz75, which every year comforts us reminding there's always someone older than us :P

It's time to change my header. Easter was 3 months ago, and the Doctor is about to land on Mars, apparently. But before that, we had a major crisis here on Earth, fighting the 456 along with the Torchwood team (or, the rest of the team left anyway). So I thought it could be nice change the header and dedicate it to Gwen Cooper, my beloved Gwen, aw. As usual, here the previous banner.
( Planet of the Dead header )

The DW season 5 filming started yesterday, and despite the fact it was just the first day, A LOT of pictures literally invaded the web, I totally fell in love with Karen Gillan (her name as companion is Amy Pond, and it has been confirmed that she's gonna be Scottish even in the series YAY), and the costume of the Doctah has been revealed. There are few changes as regard the exterior of the TARDIS... and they began to film in a very particular spot. With a certain character wanbdering along Matt and Karen. Wondering if that is gonna be the very first episode, but I suppose not.

This past week was a hell of a week! I had an exam and had to study for another one which is wed. Two days before the exam I had on the 8th July, that friend of mine called me asking me if I wanted to go to see Patti Smith's gig with her (I said that she would've called me the same day) and I say yes, cause I hadn't anything to do, except, y'know, studying? Anyway, it was a written exam, so no pressure for an oral performance (stop all of you who are thinking sexual innuendos!!). The gig was amazing, and for anyone who's interested, I recorded a bit of Because the Night HERE. The next day, I woke up very early to go to the Adriano, where there were Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse and Matthew Fox (even if he wasn't planned to be there in the morning too), talking about Lost, in a Q&A session. I got a superseat, and stayed there enjoying a sort of little version of a Comic Con, thing that maybe is gonna make me cry a little less this year, when I'm not gonna be in San Diego, while apparently everything and everyone is gonna be there. *growls

In the evening, Foxy gave an award to the Darlton at the Auditorium. They walked the Orange Carpet, and we rushed in, where we found a seat in second row, behind Foxy's wife. Pictures will follow. I haven't got any picture with him or autograph *sigh but at least I had the chance to see them live.

I've updated my artwork blog after 5 months. I'd say it was time, right? It's just I haven't got time or inspiration, especially in these last months, and the few sketches I've done are resting peacefully in my laptop. So I've decided to post'em here (they're almost all DW related) and then, from day to day, in my blog. Also, is anyone offering volunteer to restyle the layout? It's YEARS I have the same one, I also remember when me and BhMh did it, ages ago. For a new start, I wish I could have a new one? People capable of, pretty please?
( Sketcheeessss here! )

Other randoms things. Remember the parrot that we have at home? When I was in Sicily I bitched him cause it was annoying hearing his morning (and nigth) singing . When I returned here, I found out he was gone. He ran away cause of a window left open. I was WTF?! I've bitched for a couple of days, and now he's probably dead somewhere. I felt a little bit guilty. But I'm happy cause now no more parrots flying at home, keeping me awake YAY.

Yesterday I met my Aussie relatives. In my facebook page I've a bunch of people with my surname living in Australia. I know for sure they're related to me, and that they're not random people, also because my surname is pretty rare. The ones who came to Italy are a cousin of second or third grade, and his family (wife and three children). He already met me when I was 2, so I didn't remember him. It was nice to catch up with them. I was getting used to g'daye mates, brekkies, hubbies and other Aussie slang. I was waiting just to hear something like "It's maaaay baaaaiby, Chalee" but it didn't happen, even if I mentioned Lost once or twice. I had lunch with them at their hotel (which was near Vatican City. I'm starting to be bothered by the fact I end up there more often than ever these days!) and they asked me if I wanna a beer too, and I said something like "It's 1.00 pm, it's early-ish for alcohol" (I didn't actually mean it of course! But I didn't want to look like a drunkard) and they replied "But we saw your pics, with all those drinks, at your friend's place!" - "Er.. yes!" LOL my relatives stalk me.

And I forgot to say that when I got my card to go to the masterclass of Lost, I checked the atac website to see what bus I should take, and I see it was a certain 116 in Piazza Barberini. Never heard of it. I wasn't finding signs. Then a car a bit SUV-ish approached me. And there was a number on the windscreen wiper, saying 116. It wasn't a bus, it was a car with 6 seats!! I took mine, with other people, and the car did streets of the centre of Rome, where usually cars aren't allowed! It was nice, it was like in those movies Lizzie Maguire visits Italy, or something. Then all the other people got off from the car before the final stop, where I had to go. And I was left alone in the car, and the bus car stop was underground, and I was afraid someone could kill/rape/beat me. I left the car, going through a dark passage with broken winkling lights, and then I went out, in the sunlight, and I was inside the collonade of Saint Peter, in Vatican City. WTF?! I should've been in Castel Sant'Angelo. So, I walked to there, with the heat penetrating my skinny jeans *melts at the thought. It looked like I was in some Dan Brown book. LOL.

Um, hello? Is this thing still working? I'm sorry I haven't update my LJ for a lot of time (even if it's barely a month), but I've been pretty busy. I'll try to resume what happened to me, and what I'm going to do in the next days/weeks. I passed that exam about tv shows, I got a 28/30, because this prof rarely gave 30/30, don't know why. I'm still proud of me, cause now I still miss just two exams before going home.

I went to the cinema premiere of Coraline, with eryslash, a former classmate*slash*friend of mine and her girlfriend. The movie was awesome and I can't wait to buy it in dvd, so my mother will be able to see it, too (and be scared to death, I bet). I was slightly upset by the fact they moved the whole story from UK to USA, and that they introduced a character, which doesn't exist in the book, and that saved Coraline's life at the end, while in the book she's smarter and saved her life on her own. And speaking of Neil Gaiman. May I say the thing he's in a relationship with Amanda Palmer gives me the chills? Idk, it's.. weird. And disturbing. I don't want to say he must stay single after he splitted up with his wife, he can fuck anyone he wants. It's the Amanda Palmer + Neil Gaiman which freaks me out. She's a great musician/artist/singer, whatever. But I think she's a creepy woman. And also a little bit crazy.

Here at home we had a sort of marathon of horror/thriller movies. We watched The Unborn, The Uninvited, The Butterfly Effect (1 and 2, and the second one was crap, with the Lois Lane chick from Smallville, and Ethan from 90210), The Mothman Prophecies (OMG Debra Messing being all creepy and ghostly and DEAD, while the new love interest for Richard Gere was a sort of Elizabeth Mitchell type, just an uglier version of her), Silent Hill (why all these kind of movies inspired by videogames, Resident Evil-style, have always a butchy fighting girl which is the sidekick of the girly main character which is a good fighter anyway?! Resident Evil had Michelle Rodriguez, this one has a cop with very short blonde hair. Still puzzled.) and Carrie, which was the only one to made me jump off the couch at the last scene. Damn you, Brian De Palma. The other day I put on The Breakfast Club, just to change a bit and calm down our nerves after all those movies, and it was freaking awesome! I had never seen it, I don't think in Italy it has been reaired very often. A couple of weeks ago, while I was at home in Sicily, I was at my grandma's and I was chilling on the sofa, watching Charmed with my sister (an episode from the first season, when the show used to be still cool) on the tv, and after that TBC was starting but we had to leave to go home. So I downloaded it and I found the time to watch it just a couple of days ago. Aw, I shipped from the first scene, and obviously my favourite character was Allison. And thanks to that movie my obsession for the 80s came back, and now my mp3 player is full of 80s music. And my nostalgia for the high school came back, too. Boo. 

I started to watch The Big Bang Theory, since that my friends (thegrownupthing, pookieandpookie, erychan86 and valexina) have said that it's wonderful and hilarious. I had seen just that episode with Summer Glau in it, and I hadn't found it particularly brilliant. I was wrong, and I must remember to not looking at things out of context anymore. It's awesome, and I'm already sad cause I've already watched 4 episodes of the second season, and in a couple of days I won't be able to watch new episodes! Thank god september is coming (I think I'm not going to thank anyone for september coming for all the university and exams thing) and I'll have a whole new season to watch! Yeah, I know, I've a bunch of other series to watch this summer. I downloaded also Bionc Woman, just to drool over Michelle Ryan, which is a good and right thing to do. Meanwhile, Torchwood season 3 is starting in 5 days. And I CAN'T BLOODY WAIT TO WATCH IT. The thought of subtitling it kills me (y'know, the fact the episodes are all in the same week. And I should study for my last exams), but we won't be as quick as for DW, we've already decided it.

I still don't know if I'm gonna attend Patti Smith gig. I was invited by that friend I was talking about, in the Coraline cinema night bit, and she should buy also my ticket. She'll probably tell me the day before the gig. Or the same day. And next tuesday I'm gonna meet Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof and Foxy for a masterclass they're gonna hold for anyone who wants to go, in occasion of the Roma Fiction Festival. I'M SO ALREADY THERE. I have my pass accreditation. I don't think we'll  be allowed to make pictures with them, it's gonna be too messy, I guess. But I will take a lot of pics of them. I hope someone else will show up, like Liz or Evi. In that case I srsly might die and doing some craziness, I swear. I'm starting to be hungry, I should check out what I can have for dinner tonight. I wish you a happy Canada Day. Robin Sparkles would appreciate this. Love y'all, hope to write a little more often.

I'm at home since last friday and I've been at the beach just once. I've three days left to earn a decent tan before going back to Rome. I can do it! Meanwhile, I've started to read the book of my next exam, that one about tv shows, and there's a bit which explains the fandoms, fanfictions, and especially slashfictions, hurt/comfort, etc. and they say the first slash couple has been Kirk/Spock. LMAO. I've started to read also the second book of DW, The Monster Inside, Rose Tyler on her first alien world, bless. So weird reading about 9/Rose again, I have to get used to it for other 4 books, before passing to 10/Rose. On the train I had the time to read Coraline, and I'm really looking forward to the next weeks, so I'll be able to go to the cinema and being scared to death from the Other Mother, yay!

I watched two films for another exam, centred on analysis of movies, and there's a whole part just for Hitchcock. The prof told us to watch a list of movies, and I had already watched Psycho from that list. The first one I saw was Notorius, and I wasn't so excited by that one, don't know why. I like it, yeah, but, nothing special. Two days ago I watched Rear Window, and I was all OMG I WANNA SPY PEOPLE FROM MY WINDOW AND HAVING GRACE KELLY AS FIANCEE! I really enjoyed the bit in which Jeff, Lisa and Stella were all spying from the apartment, and the girls went to dig in the garden, and then Lisa, she's totally pwned the world in the murderer's flat. She went from being just a posh girl to this wonderful adventure lady who saved the day! I didn't get how Jeff was more interested in spying than just looking at his girlfriend in her 'pj', but still. They lived happily ever after after winning over Perry Mason guy (the murderer was played by the same actor who played Perry Mason).

Today I put The Birds while me, my mum and my sister had lunch. Second part of OMFG I WANNA LIVE IN BODEGA BAY FIGHTING BIRDS WITH MEL AND MITCH! I'd SO want to make a series from the movie! It'd totally rock! I'd set the storylines in Bodega Bay today, with new main characters, investigating about the weird behaviour of birds, and maybe calling back Cathy (now adult creepy woman) to explain the situation. The only thing I'd not be able to explain is why the birds attack. Can I just copy Hitchcock and leave no answer? LOL. Even a show about the adventure of Mitch and Mel (plus family) coming back at Bodega Bay and keeping fight the birds in the 60s wouldn't be bad. Or. A prequel showing how Mitch met Annie, and all their angst relationship, ending with Mitch who spots Melanie in her car accident, all in awe in front of her, who doesn't even notice him. Aw.
Okay, I'm stopping my mental movies :P Just watch The Birds, it's like a cult for me now, LOL. My mother and me had the best of times wondering how a woman in her 50s could have a 40ish son AND a daughter of 11. And how Mel waited that Lydia went out before seducing Mitch. When the mother came back home, they were all sweetie, honey, kisses on lips and stuff. They didn't waste time at all! And poor Annie. I would've enjoyed more Mel/Annie time together. Oh, and even the fact Mel was wearing always the same outfit was funny-ish. It'd be easy going to a costume party dressed as her! I'd be Mitch, with a fake crow on my shoulder, LOL. I sketched something about the movies, follow the cut!

( Watch out those seagulls and crows! )

Hitchcock's movies still to watch: Spellbound, Vertigo and Rebecca. But I still have to watch Citizen Kane and Breathless (À bout de souffle). In these days I also had a wonderful idea for a movie who surely could have success, but I don't feel comfortable talking on the web cause some randomer could steal my idea. I'll just say it'd deal with a fictional iconic figure of the Nineties. I already have the main plot in my mind, sigh.
