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.

Short entry, it's 2.30 am. But I HAVE TO write this down! It's pretty insane filming yourself to reply to a friend about reactions to videos, or simply being silly, and babbling, and stuff like that. But when the other friend films herself (yes, it's a she, and it's erychan86!) while she's driving home at 2.00 am, and a BOAR, yes, a freakking wild boar, cross her road, risking a car accident, and she screams, and all the scene is recorded on a video.. IT'S FUCKING AWESOME! This has just made my night. Roger, folks.

ETA - It's even more awesome when the driving friend tells you something while Hoedown Throwdown is on, and randomly swift from talking to singing. I was really expecting to see her starting to dance. LOL.

I'm like in the mood of posting an entry, since it's ages I haven't written a properly one. I've been through different phases lately. Firstly, when I came back from England, I was like.. depressed. I had to go to classes, and studying, and catching up with tv shows, etc. Then I got even more depressed cause Lost season 5 ended, and, as I thought, SOMEONE got hurt, and I feel whiny and angry and sad for something like 3 days, watching and rewatching the last 25 minutes of the finale. At the same time, I was in awe cause of new Abc promos for the next tv season, those promos are made of win, from Teri Hatcher asking to Foxy who's Kate, after his beloved WEHAVETOGOBAAAACK,KATE! And a Dana Delany with an awesome WTF look after someone from Dancing with the Stars (or is So you think you can Dance? I can't tell the difference) fixed a light. I've been jubilant when Fox renewed Dollhouse, and Ausiello asked to Whedon if Summer Glau could be involved in the series, and he was all 'oh, you'll see what I've in mind', but he cut off the chance to see her as a Doll. The girl played this kind of roles a little bit too much. I demand only MORE AMY ACKER PLEAZE? Speaking of which, Amy, please, join Twitter. I became addicted to this site in this period of me missing from LJ, and I love the fact almost all Whedon actors are there. And that they see each other almost regularly. Alyson Hannigan wrote that Amy Acker finally went to visit the baby, after putting a link with a video of George Harrison's video of Got My Mind set on You, in which Denisof appears so very young! LOL. Tom Lenk and Clare Kramer are bff, and he had a picture of them so cute, together. Also, he went to lunch with Amber Benson and Adam Busch, and took a picture all together. AW. Whedonverse is <3.

Speaking of which, I finally finished to read Angel After the Fall, and started the beginning of the new story arc, always season 6, I suppose. Which is AWESOME. [Spoiler alert] I have been whining for the first half of After the Fall, cause it was a very complicate, confusing plot. But at the end all was clear. Cordelia came back too! And she was really her, no W&H trickery. She was sent from the Powers That Be again to guide Angel for a brief moment, though. Gh and sigh. And now W&H disappeared. Out of the blue! And he opened again the Angel Investigations, for now he recruited Kate (which is not at all drawn as the actress), Connor (ew), Gwen, and sometimes Spike, Illyria and George the fish (he's the best! Spike/George FTW), while Gunn is like in a coma which I hope will last like.. forever?

Anyway, back in topic. Other reason to be joyful? BrOTP in the HIMYM season finale. And MOAR ELIZABETH MITCHELL COMING THIS FALL! She's gonna star as the lead actress in the rivisitation of V - Visitors. She's gonna kick alien-lizard's asses, oh yes. And she's gonna be a single mum, I would've preferred she could be a real kick ass, tough character, but still. I suppose we're gonna bear some tear for her poor child and some babbling about her strongness to raise a child alone. And Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk are also in the show, so, yup, Whedon actors taking over the television world this year! Me happy. Me wants!

I cried again watching pictures from the filming of the last special for Tennant, which is going to be in one episode of the next season of SJA. erychan86 made me watch Being Human, and I miss 4 episodes to finish the first season. I've decided to watch a couple of series this summer, like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Chuck, Battlestar Galactica, Skins. I began to watch Glee, a new Fox series full of Broadway actors starting officialy in autumn. I ended up in a tv show opening, always made by Ery, based on her fanfiction about us. And we all learning to dance Hoedown Throwdown from he Hannah Montana movie. We're made of win, I know. Yesterday it was aired a new trailer for Torchwood season 3, which is SCARY, and I'm afraid I'm sooo not gonna watch it alone in the dark. New companion for 11 has been chosen, Karen Gillan, 21, Scottish, ginger, small squared shirt-ed. Yummers. And RSC are gonna film Hamlet with Tennant in it asap, and it's gonna be aired on BBC2 first, and later, dvd (this made Ery's.. at leas, two weeks, not just a day :P). And now I'm going out to see Duplicity at the cinema. With Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. This is sooooo Closer, I hope it's gonna be awesome like that movie! Memo: posting all those sketch of Christina de Souza. I keep forgetting it, damn!

This is my very first ever fanfiction. Concluded. In English. So, please, bear with me! :P I didn't get how come to me to write something about the Blue!Doctor and Rose, since I was one of those who wanted dead RTD for just a second to leaving Rose with another man, cause that Doctor is the Doctor.. but he's not him. And you know the rest. But here it is. A little bit angsty, with some sappiness too. :P Oh, and I'm not dead! I'm just very busy, with the uni and the studying. I'll post something more as soon as I can!

ETA - I had forgotten the first lines! I've just noticed it ^^' Sorry.

( The two were staring each other in silence, just the wvarping noise in the background. )

Hello world! It seems like I'm in one of those periods in which I don't write at all in my LJ. It's just I've been away for two weeks, and now I'm back, but I've been busy washing my clothes, and cleaning my room, going to the mall market, and today I've even ironed my shirts! I'd need some kind of reward just for the ironing part. But I guess I've received rewards for 2 years at least in my last two weeks. I won't write a very detailed review of my holiday, cause it was intense, and I'd probably be still here writing tomorrow morning. Therefore, I'm just touching the more important points.

I've been in Cardiff with erychan86, river__, laz75 and darkbeba, basically looking for the Doctor. We knew in those days they were shooting the final two part episode in which David Tennant is the Doctor for the last time. And SJA filming had started too. It was the ideal chance to bump into them. We spent the first two days exploring the city, seeing the most famous locations used in the show, like the Bad Wolf graffiti on the wall of Parting of the Ways, and the Bad Wolf Bay, where we stayed for like.. 2 hours? completely out of mind. Still now I think we stayed just for a very brief period of time. We had just one more day to meet someone of the show. And that day we were very lucky! We went to the place where they were shooting a scene inside a building, and we had the chance to see David Tennant in his pinstriped brown suit, John Barrowman as Captain Jack and Russell Tovey as Alonso (from Voyage of the Damned). WOO-OOH! We stayed there for 6 hours, freezing, but it was worth it. We also ended up on WalesOnline, thanks to Jackson, the paparazzo who was wandering around the building like us.
( Alons-y! )

We left Cardiff very satisfied and we landed in London. We met thegrownupthing and pookieandpookie and where did we go to dinner? At Nando's, of course! Yummers! Then it was time for a stagedoor of Wicked, I just wanted to say hi to Dianne, since Chiara told me they talked about my coming few days earlier. In fact that night she stopped in front of me and I still remember the sound of her voice saying that she keeps saving all my drawings and when she passed to sign other autographs to people near to me, she told them something like "Oh, I love this guy!" referring to me. Oh, Di. <3 The other days flew away, we went at the Lucky Voice in Soho, and then I went to the eve of the fake cast change, earning also a day seat in the centre block (A18), although I went to the Apollo Victoria at 9.15 am. And just in front of me I had a bunch of Italian and one of them was telling something about HIMYM to a friend, and quoted a line I've never heard, and just today I found out that was a line of one of the episodes I hadn't had watched yet, cause I was away!! Backstabbing spoiler!! LOL, luckily it wasn't a big deal, whatever. On sunday I went with Chiara to run dressed as nun for the Nun Race! We ran across almost all the London bridges, and we also won a medal and one Sister Act bag all for us! YAY!

Valex came the following day. We chilling out for London for a bit. We stagedoored James McAvoy at the Apollo Theatre (and had our little picture with him too), we had Nando's chickens for dinner, and then I tried to stagedoor Burn Gorman and Julian Bleach at Oliver! But the only thing I got was a picture of Rowan Atkinson. Not with me. Boo , I didn't even see the ones about I cared, the ushers told me they always use other exits. We visited Jane Austen's house in Chawton, Alton, and we started to be depressed, then we went out in the country life again, in Cambridge, cause Manu and Chiara had the Evita tour, while me and Valex played the part of tourists. That same day BhMh and Valeria arrived in London. Just in time to go to the world premiere of Sister Act. We left a card for Katie before the show, which, for the record, has been hilarious, especially in all the nuns parts. Katie rocked, and she also has a solo! And a reprise, too! Oh, honey! At the stagedoor she was so happy to see us! It was almost a whole year we didn't see each other! She kissed us and hugged us, she was genuinely happy and I was melting jus for that. She asked me to bring her more drawings, please, cause she loved them. And apparently has an album where she stores them. OH GOD, THE ROWLEY JONES LOVES ME. Ahem. We had the confirm that she loves us cause Valex asked the autograph to Claire Greenway, who plays Sister Mary Patrick, and in the conversations they had, it came out the fact she was Italian, and Claire went all "Oh, you're one of the Italian friends of Katie, don't you? I see your card for her, you're so nice!" Best. KRJ's stagedoor experience. Ever.

I was forgetting I've seen a lot of shows I've never seen before. Starting with Spring Awakening, which I LOVED! I also stagedoored to have the autographs of the three main actors, and I didn't plan to do it, cause.. come on, they are all younger than me! It would've been weird! But I was so excited I didn't care anymore, and the guy who play Melchior, Aneurin Barnard, asked me if it was the first time for me, and I replied "Yes" and he said "So it was your Spring Awakening of Spring Awakening!" and I blnked once or twice before saying "Er.. yes." and slowly moving away. On friday I went with BhMh (but Alberto and Luigi were there too) to watch Last 5 Years with Julie Atherton and Paul Spicer. That night all the gang went to the Lucky Voice, this time at Islington. Saturday was THE day. Another cast change, another double Wicked. I had seen the show a week earlier, and I was a little 'bored', cause I didn't think I could handle to watch it twice in the same day, again. During the mocking matinee I was a bit distracted, but it was funny. They had jokes just in the first act too. Boo them. The evening was legendary. I was afraid I could get annoyed again, I know there's people who have seen the show more than 50 times, with the eve of saturday my total count is now at 19. But that night was magic. My attention span was all to the show, and Kerry literaly blew all the Apollo Victoria away. Not to mention Dianne's speech and what Kerry said of her. Oh god, at the end I felt something like another end of an era. Every cast change seems like 'it'll never be the same again', I thought the same thing at the first cast change, then again when Katie left, and now, now it's like something which is forever. But I wanna hope that a future!Elphaba and a future!Glinda will bring back Wicked in London as glorious as it was once.

So, yesterday it was my birthday, and now I'm 23. It's not a bad number, there's still something teen-y in it. Things are different with 24, imho, and next year I'll be slightly more frustatred than yesterday. Watching Desperate Housewives today was not so helpful as I thought, with all those thoughts about life and death, and thing which scared me the most is that me too thinks, deep inside, I won't see myself aging, cause I'm never getting the chance to be old! I don't know if it's just an insane thought of mine, who wants unconsciously staying young, or it's actually a real feeling. Meh, just stop thinking about, and pass on a more exciting subject. BDAY PRESENTS!

( It's been a very joyful birthday! )

Sooooooo. At 00.01 I had the first bday wishes and presents from erychan86 (after her wishes, I got a text from my sister at 00.02 saying 'I am the first one, am I?' and I replied 'Er.. no'. LOL). She made all those wonderful banners, with all my tv crushes of the moment a lifetime, while the last one with Lady GaGa is one of our in-jokes. Gh. I can say I had an orgasm just watching at the one with Michelle Ryan. One of the hottest pics of her I've ever seen (and I hadn't ever seen those ones!). Then the first picture is the awesome art from eryslash, everytime my eyes meet the drawing, I mentally start to sing the opening of SDoaCG. LOL. Aw, Billie <3. And at last, the birthday presents that friends brought me yesterday, while I was hosting a sort of afternoon snack party. The white shirt was from two of my flatmates, the Keith Haring cup full of chocolate (YAY) was from my friend Chiara, the bunch of pencils and rubbers from Alessandra, Merlin dvd box set from Federica, Roberta and Lavinia, while the Doctor Who one was from me Play.com. And I'm still waiting for season 2 and 3 which should be here before my little holiday.

What can I say about my supposed-to-be party? I've invited Chiara, Alessandra and Valentina (she's the one who chatted me up last february), we cooked pasta and braciole (I don't think there's an English word for 'braciole', at least, for what I mean with 'braciola' which is not the usual chop) and then we had coffee, typical Italian Easter dessert (colomba) and cookies. Then the others came, and I blew candles of the first cake (sacher). During the evening, with the other flatmates, I had a second cake, which was a sort of chocolate tart, covered with almonds. Yummers! All of this, with the tv on the background which was airing the final episode of Big Brother and someone made a music video of those dumbos with In Any Other World (the song by Mika that Ery used in her video Doctor/Donna) copying the particular editing she made when strings start to play during the song. I'm sure they watched that video first, and they took the idea from it. Meh. Robbers!

My sister is watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and I'm shocked I remember all the songs, the lyrics.. also the brief music themes! Angela Lansbury was quite hot back then, too. Anyway! This was not the topic I intended to deal with in this entry. Let's discuss something far more important. Planet of the Dead, of course. Beware all of you who hasn't seen the Easter Special yet. I'm spending a little time talking about it, and I may mention something about the next Specials. And I'm not doing spoiler cuts, because.. I don't like short entries with a final LJ cut. They're so aesthetically unpleasent to see. Am I right, I am?

ZOMFGMICHELLERYAN! This is basically the thought I had in my mind when I fell asleep yesterday night. At 5. Cause I watched the episode, and then I did Italian subtitles. Which are already available, since this afternoon, around 5ish. And thank you. Yes I am. Frequently. God, I can already quote this episode!! And I've only seen it twice! I'm such a dork. Back on topic. SHE'S HOT! I WANT HER AS FULL TIME COMPANION! And it's not only about her hotness, it's her character! She's smart, witty, noble, and some of her lines were brilliant. Like the one about bleeding to death in awe in front of a well designed spaceship, or her not wanting to kiss the fly-things. I mean, they weren't lines with the purpose of making laugh, but, imho, they were definitely well written. There were other little references which were adorable, like the Midnight one about people on the buses blaming the Doctor, or the planets in the sky, or the friend who once used to call the Doctor 'spaceman'. Aw, Donna. Bless. And that creepy prophecy at the end? I've still chills just thinking about it. Master in sight? With that knocking. But the something returning through the darkness it's an IT, so what? People on the web speculate that that it could be Gallifrey. And others do not think it's the Master returning, but the Midnight monster, because of the knocking things and the music score which was similar to that one. I'm just scared, thank you so much oracle.

I've drawn some sketches about Christina, I hope I can scan them before leaving tomorrow! I'm going to Rome, it's almost 3 weeks I'm missing, I wonder if it's gonna be weird returnig to my other house. I'll stay for 2 weeks before leaving again to UK! I really can't wait, it's almost a whole year I don't touch Britain ground. It's fucking time I get one of my dearest Ryanair flights. Oh yes.

... and happy birthday to erychan86 ! You're 23 now, you're older than me, LOL. I'm always the little one, wherever I am! YAY me! If I had known that you were going to be so in the 90210 mood, I would have done a banner based on Ryan/Silver! But I've made this one something like a week ago, so I hope you appreciate it anyway!
( Click to see this banner made of AWESOME! )

I've stolen a sort of meme from agirloffewwords baes on the interests listed here on LJ. There's some picture which is not related with the thing I have written in my list, though, like Jacket. Of course, it came out a list of many jackets, but not even one Jacket photo. But the system is smart, therefore I have a wonderful Suliet picture, cause every A.I. knows what Suliet is, and that Suliet > Jacket. LOL. WE DIDN'T NEED SAVING! Sorry, it came out randomly, I yell that phrase at home occasionally.

Oh, and I wanted to listen to A Girl of Few Words by Julie Atherton, but it wasn't in my laptop, and I wasn't bothered to take the cd, so I youtubed the song, and the first result was a music video with Meg from Hercules. LOL. And it fits perfectly! Even the mouth moves were perfect! And I know now that that song will be related forever with Megara, like You Found Me is my Suliet song, Save Me is my Jacket song (along with the Gia/Linda ship, since I've seen a fanvideo with that song with both the ships), while Kiss the Rain is Juliate. Ah, Lost and the shippage.

Quick service information for anyone! erychan86 has opened a community for Ryan Matthews and Erin Silver, from 90210. We thought we were the only ones to ship those two, but this morning a lot of people commented her newest picspam, so she decided to open a LJ community! Please, go and check here! ryan_silver 

ryan_silver  ryan_silver  ryan_silver  ryan_silver 

Although at the end of the last episode Silver was all creepy and crazy inside his flat, in the dark, and threw a bottle of wine to him, we still believe one day they'll be canon. LOL.

A bunch of things happened during this time I haven't written entries. I've bought the train ticket to come back home on tuesday (and I've even found a special offer, yay me!), I've bought a million of books, including the rest of Jane Austen's books I hadn't had, except for Mansfield Park, which is the one read by everyone on the forum but me. Meh. I have to find it, cause I have to see the movie version with Billie Piper and Michelle Ryan, and drooling for the whole film. Speaking of which, I have to rewatch Pride & Prejudice, Keira-version, cause pookieandpookie made me notice that there are tons of DW actors and I didn't know, probably because I watched that movie for the first time before starting to watch DW. Harriet Jones, Sally Sparrow and miss Evangelista are in it and when she told me I was all 'what the WHAT??' very much Liz Lemon style.

I went to the theatre to see another Italian musical show, Facciamo l'amore (Let's make love), with Lorenza Mario, Gianluca Guidi and Enzo Garinei. It's about a millionaire who falls in love with a theatre actress who's doing a show which has the main purpose of mocking him. So he pretends to be an actor and he's hired to play 'himself'. There's the usual happily ever after at the end, nothing to declare, except for the thing I met Silvan in the foyer, and I saw every single wrinkle in his face. Ew.

A couple of picture from Planet of the Dead, the next Doctor Who Special, came out, and my inspiration to make icons came back. I also made a new header for my lj. Basically this time the name will be the same of the previous version (the one with Jackson), cause I'm changing just the companion, so I think I'm gonna number this version as 3.5, and not 4.0. Along with the pictures, some great news spoilerish came out too, so beware the ones who want to stay spoiler free cause I'm writing all in the next line. So. Rose, Martha and Donna will be present in the very last adventure of the Tenth Doctor. Even more important, they're gonna join forces to fight the Master. Yes, the Master, played once again by John Simm. How cool is that?! I expected a thing like this, it's the least to make a perfect goodbye to mr Tennant. It's also known that episode 4x17 (the special after the Christmas 09 one, so the final story, I suppose..) will feature some descendent of Joan Redfern (since it's the same actress playing the woman) at the signing of her book, "A journal of Impossible Things". You got it well. Let's wait and see. And now, icon time! And goodbye Two Doctors header!

Last episode of Dollhouse. Greatest. Episode. Ever. So many shocking revelations in just 50 minutes! And Adelle DeWitt is the sexiest British boss ever. I was scared of her at the beginning, I didn't trust her, but after seeing the things she has done and the way she has handled the situation.. whoa. Just whoa. I bet pookieandpookie would love to be tortured by her, everytime she'd want. LOL.

Yesterday eryslash brought me Watchmen, the comic. Cause next wed we should going to watch it in English at the Metropolitan. We had lunch together (and I cooked. And I forgot to put the salt in the water for our pasta. And I was almost burning the tomato sauce. But we had fun :P) The we watched HIMYM "Sorry, bro" and an episode of Big Bang Theory (a tv show which I usually don't watch) just because Summer Glau was in it playing herself. LOL.

When she came back home, I've started to read Watchmen. Yesterday night I didn't want to go to sleep cause I was thinking to that little precious treasure! OMGIT'SAWESOME!! How could I survived till now without knowing that comic?? I had already read V for Vendetta, but it was different. Firstly, I had watched the movie before reading the comic. And it hadn't colors, so it was not catchy enough, despite the fact the story was beautiful, etc. Watchmen is pure genius and awesomeness. Alan Moore is another of those authors who makes me feel a nullity. Just like Neil Gaiman or Steven Moffat. I feel like I could write those things, but I'm not smart enough, I miss that something which could make me turn in a genius. Boo me. Anyway, I'm looking forward to post this entry, so I can continue my reading session :P I've read something like half of it.

And this morning, while I was on the bus heading to university, my mum called me, and she said "Guess what?" and I "Lost." - "YES!" and she started to babbling nonsense like "I've never seen anything like this episode, I cried so much, it's unfair, Kate pops out, and she'll mess up everything!" And I spoke aloud in the bus, saying things like "You didn't guess they were in love during the episode?? Not even at the wharf scene, when she said two weeks and then she stayed for three years?!" And she replied back "I thought that she stayed for him as friend!" Yeeeeeeeeeaaaah, suuure, friends. LOL. I'm happy though. For her it was a real surprise waching the flower scene. Actually it was a surprise for everyone, but for her it was more unexpected. <3

And it's time for memes! It's been ages I wanted to write this entry, but I was pretty busy, so.. I may be interrupted by my parents calling me at home. I hope they won't while I'm writing, cause I wish I could do this without getting up from my green armchair :P oh, even if I'm dying to know what my mum thought about Suliet in Lost 5x08. I bet she liked it. Especially because she loves Sawyer, once she wanted to bring home a huge Josh Holloway adv poster put outside a perfumery. Luckily I was there to preventing silliness. Anyway, I'm going out of topic!

fudaliciousfud tagged me in the handwriting meme, but I have no camera nor scanner here, apart my cellphone, and the pics came out all blurred, so I'll post that piece of paper when I'll go back home. Instead, I'm posting the 5 things meme: Comment on my blog and I'll give you 5 things that I associate with you. Then go back to your blog and expand upon them. I asked to thegrownupthing to give me 5 things and she listed me these ones.

Shippage
I ship couples since I was a little kid. I thought that tv presenters who hosted a show together were actually engaged. And I'm not mentioning cartoons. Now I emphatize A LOT with ships I really care about, I emphatize with them so much I got goose bumps and tears when I watch a particular scene or music video. I tend to ship characters with a certain chemistry, and even human beings with objects. But 'm not that serious about those. :P As an icon I had recently said: I ship, therefore I am. :P

Bohemian
I've this sort of look since I graduated from high school. I literally fell in love with that kind of art and artists. Living in the streets around the end of the XIX century, drinking alcohol from one morning to the next one, having weird relationships with women from whorehouses, thinking ideals exist, being genius, rebelling against the rules and dying young. Maybe not that. :P Anyway, watching Moulin Rouge! didn't help. I've my head in the air like them, AND sideburns. Aha! Also my father call me bohemian (even if he doesn't use this exact word, too smart for him, he says 'scapigliato', but it's the same, Italian version of bohemian).

Daddy Issues
.. speaking of which. Third particular thing about me. I don't have a good relationship with my father. We love each other when we don't live under the same roof. And even in that case, it's not sure we don't fight anyway. I don't know. I think I'm not the kind of son he wanted. I'm the exact opposite, I dare say. But it's fine, I like this version of me, and so do my friends. I don't care about him, I just love him unconditionally cause I've part of his dna.

Detective/Undercover stories
I LOVE DETECTIVE STORIES! I got superexcited when I read/watch them. I always picture myself as if I'm a detective, especially in the USA during the 40s, like in the Ellroy's novels. And then I start to draw my comic version in a leather jacket, with cigarette and gun and beard of 4-5 days.

Places you've lived/want to live
I've lived in 3 places till now. My home, in Sicily, where I grew up and where I spent the first 22 yrs of my life. I kinda like it when I want to relax. It's awesome during summer, boring during the rest of the year. Even if my friends are there, and I miss some of them. While I was attending university in Messina, I went to live in Belgium for 3 months (even if I almost spent most of that time in London :P). The coolest thing was that I was near to be fluent in French (ahahah, no, not really, but my level grew up in a surprising rapid way) but the roomies were horrible, and I knew just a couple of persons, not the best Erasmus experience. But it was entirely my fault. Anyway, after that I graduated from university last year, and last september I moved to Rome to attend a grad class here. I share the house with other 4 people which are very nice, I knew a bunch of people, and I've started to become friend of new shiny e brilliant people! Places I want to live. Well, in the first place London, of course. It's my favourite city in the whole world, and I love English language. Pretty obvious :P USA won't be bad too. Maybe a little too far from home. But never say never.

And meanwhile, writing this entry, I received the phone call from home (my mother didn't watch Lost yet, argh!) and I even had my dinner. And watched a bit of CSI, the kart episode, with the Placebo song in the end/Kate Bush cover. <3 And I may say that there's a chance me and Chiara (and Manu should join us, hoping she won't work that day, cause it would be awesome LOL) could be attend a charity race in London dressed as nuns, chasing miss Rowley Jones.

Altough it's raining, I have a class from 5 to 7 today, I didn't take a shower yet... this is a wonderful day.

( Spoilers for Lost 5x08 LaFleur )

okay, now my rant is over :P and I can go and take my deserved shower :P

My university schedule came out yesterday, I have 6 hours at a stretch on monday and wednesday. I want to die. I'll try to survive. Actually I'm looking forward to the end of april, so I'll fly to UK and I'll stay there for something like 13 days. YAY! Cardiff, and then London, where there are something like a billion of things to do. Like, musicals. I've decided to skip Oliver! I think I'm just gonna stagedoor that, for Burn Gorman, Julian Bleach and Rowan Atkinson if he's going to be still there. I wanna see Spring Awakening, cause yesterday thegrownupthing told me that the show has extended its run, YAY! I already know I'm gonna love it! I could have the desire to rewatch Hairspray one last time, before Elllie left that show for good. Mamma Mia! is something sure. I have to see it. And maybe we're gonna go to see Andrea Corr in her play, but just if the ticket is not more than 15 £. We already have tickets for Wicked and Sister Act so I'm not counting those ones. Maybe this time I'll have the time to play the tourist and visit some museum, LOL.

Oh, and Cardiff times! The others are going to be back from the Con, and meetings with Summer Glau, Amy Acker, and other people I don't know from Chuck. And we're going to check the whole city, looking for filming spots. I already know we're gonna meet someone like Liz Sladen or the kids from SJA. Meh. But we'll go to the Bad Wolf Bay too! And I will scream "Bloody Norway!" LOL. And we're gonna cry altogether. Boo. Thinking about that, last night I dreamed about Ery being almost murdered by a robber and me looking for help in the street where I found just a dwarf (who didn't speak in reverse :P). This holiday is gonna be awesome, and they're gonna be the last relax and fun times I'll have before the other exams I'll have to do in June/July. Meh!

I'm in holiday, folks. It's been almost a whole week since I've passed my last exam of this session, and I did practically nothing. I stayed at home, and I spent two days with my friends. Saturday I had a snack afternoon with eryslash, we drank tea and we watched Merlin videodiaries (that I hadn't seen till that day), but then I had to run away cause for the first time me and my former unimates (at least, the ones I care about the most who are studying here) have been capable to reunite ourselves for a walk. And then, with some of them, I stayed out for dinner. I came back home around 1.00 am, I hadn't watch Dollhouse 1x02 yet, but I chatted with Manu, Chiara and Ariel, and then, I went to see a bit of Texas Hold'em in tv (yeah, my new fav sport to watch in tv) and after that, I watched Dollhouse. GUH! For many aspects, I found it more Joss Whedon-y than the pilot. There was this wonderful line in which Echo took a gun and the guy who gave it to her asked her if she knew how to use it, and she replied something like "I've 4 brothers. And no one of them vote democratic." *noise of the cocking of the gun. LOL.

The next day, sunday, I went with Ariel to meet pookieandpookie. Our rendez-vous was at Piazza del Popolo. On sunday. During Carnival holidays. Me iz a genius. Crowd everywhere. Anyway, we went to the Galleria, at the Feltrinelli in there, and we wandered through books and dvds, then we went to Spizzico and then coffe at Sant'Eustachio, where a horse was going to kill us. Twice. One last visit to the Starshop, and then it was time to say goodbye. On the way home, me and Ariel had one of our weird conversations in which we asked each other what would we do if we'll be stuck in a Freaky Friday situation. So I thought about her being me and cutting my face cause she wouldn't be capable of shaving, while I'd be shy and silent in her body, LOL. Anyway, sigh. Next time I'm gonna see Chiara will be at the end of April/May. Speaking of which, I already bought the ticket from Stansted to Cardiff, and it costed just 14,00 £! I have to change transports twice (Stansted Express arrives at London Liverpool Street, and I have to go to Paddington, cause the train to Cardiff Central leaves from there) but hey, it was cheap!

I've kinda catched up all the tv shows. Fringe was love, especially with these last episodes. I've already started the third season of 30 Rock. I miss 4 seasons of SPN and six or seven episodes of United States of Tara, which I downloaded just because Toni Collette was the main actress, and I love her, so the show must be cool! And Oscar winnerzzz!! Totally out of the blue, but I was superhappy when I found out Kate Winslet was one of the winners! Even if I hven't seen the movie she was candidated for yet (The Reader). And the movie which rocked (Slumdog Millionaire)..? Wanna see that too! But I think it has been/is in not so many cinemas. It's at the Lux (which is near to me) but the ticket is superexpensive! 7,50 euros in the weekend, 7,00 euros for the other days! Tsk, the UCG ticket is 4,90 euros for me as a student. Take that, Lux.

Yawn, I'm tired. Studying is almost done, I've just came back home from uni, they said the exam (which should've been today)  will be wednesday afternoon. I can't wait to pass it, so I could wash my curtains. I'm obsessed with my curtains in these days, I setted the washing of my curtains as first thing to do after the exams, so this might be one of those unconscious things in which I think about curtains but I'm actually looking forward to that moment cause exams will be over.

Anyway, when I'll be free, pookieandpookie is gonna be here, so we're gonna catch up at least for a day! We didn't see each other since last June. God, it's like forever. And today I realized that this will be the first time I'll see her ginger! I should go and take my clothes from the washing machine but before I wanna say something about Dollhouse, which started last friday. First comment which doesn't deal at all with the show. How hot Eliza Dushku could be...?!? The first 10 minutes with her were EPIC. At the beginning, with that leather thing on the motor bike, and then with that dress practically without a skirt, dancing in a very sexy way (but not as sexy and bitch as Faith) with Lady Gaga's song going on. I've heard this song for the first time when erychan86 passed me the link of the spoof video with Catherine Tate. Then it was in 90210 or Gossip Girl. Or in both of them, I don't remember well. And now here! LOL. Okay, now we can talk about the show itself. It's pretty cool. All this idea of resetting people is cool. And the fact it's illegal make it even more intriguing! Amy Acker's character is weird, with all those scars, big background story for her in sight. And I ship her with Topher, the geek guy. She's a guest, not a main, so I'm a little worried that she could be killed off in any moment. It's odd seeing Eliza wandering through the whole building with that dull face, I hope she'll become aware of herself soon. The Dollhouse seems a huge gym, and their beds are freaky! I'll be fucking scared of sleeping in those kind of coffins. The (fake) English boss is scary, and her minion too. The good (?) cop has some mysteryous backstory involving the Dollhouse for sure, and he's gonna have some angsty relationship with Echo. I was forgetting how much I loved Joss. That's true, Joss is god.

Oh, and when I was on the bus earlier, I was listening to Let's go to the Mall and I was thinking how they can resume Robin Sparkles again, without being repetitive (so without another video/song). So I thought bits of a potential episode, Robin centric (of course) in which they can explore her daddy issues (hinted in Happily Ever After), so if mister Scherbatsky will show up in NYC, we could catch some glimpses of him going to see one of his daughter's gig in some mall in Canada. I'm totally figuring the scene with Robin during a break from performing Let's go to the Mall (with a zillion of fans who try to get pitures, autographs, etc.), fighting with her dad, while she had snacks and orange juices as dinner, LOL.
