I've just discovered the "blog's spam section" for comments.. Some of them weren't spam at all and I have no idea why they ended there, but I do apologise with those who left the comments (anonimous mostly).
Anyway, I've already fix it up.
I really suck at technical matters.

Ho appena scoperto la sezione "spam" dei commenti.. alcuni non erano affatto spam e non ho idea del perchè siano finiti lì, ma mi scuso con quelli che li hanno lasciati (per la maggior parte anonimi).
Maggie is the oldest and she just can't stand her little brother (he's too lively and has no manners sometimes), but Mosè (who loves her) always tries to play with her.
Maggie è la più grande e non sopporta il suo fratellino (a volte è troppo vivace e non si sa comportare), ma Mosè (che la adora) non si scoraggia e cerca sempre di coinvolgerla nei suoi giochi.
Favourite song of the period. Though several people don't like Madonna's version, I do. I find it very inspired.
And I simply love the words, they are so meaningful..

La mia canzone preferita al momento. Sebbene diverse persone non apprezzino la versione di Madonna, a me personalmente piace. La trovo molto ispirata.
E poi le parole sono qualcosa di meraviglioso, così dense di significato..
A long, long time ago I can still remember How that music used to make me smile And I knew that if I had my chance I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while
Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Now do you believe in rock 'n roll And can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm 'n blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew that I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin'
Bye bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "This will be the day that I die, This will be the day that I die."
I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away Well I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play
Well now in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire the most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died
This is the cutest film I've ever seen. I wanted to share it with you.. just in time for Valentine's Day

"Toward the end of their marriage, filmmakers Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid collaborated on the remarkable short THE PRIVATE LIVE OF A CAT. As the film’s furry protagonists, identified only as “She” and “He,” gave birth to a litter of kittens (a process recorded in the film in full though without sound), Deren and Hammid captured their sly, sidelong glances, their cuddles and licks, their resourcefulness and their casual, curious mannerisms. The filmmakers both adored cats and their admiration and affection for the creatures is evident here; their feline subjects occupy nearly every frame of the film, which was shot over the course of four weeks. The filmmakers themselves never appear in this piece; the world they created is inhabited by the animals alone. Here, Deren and Hammid exist only in the objects in their apartment; in the film’s sparse intertitles; in the appearance of the occasional saucer of milk; and in the presence of the camera. “One of the finest films that has ever been made,” said filmmaker Stan Brakhage of PRIVATE LIFE, a work that’s a character study, a work of cinematic anthropology, a narrative, a documentary, part drama and, perhaps above all, a romance."
Kitchen Chinese: chick-lit set in Bejing. Quite interesting due to the details about Chinese and American-Chinese culture and food.
Norwegian Wood: not so good as I thought (many people had told me this book's great and my expectations were probably too high).
The uncommon reader: really short and pretty funny.

Kitchen Chinese: romanzo tipo Kinsella ambientato a Pechino. Interessanti particolari sulla cultura e sul cibo cinesi e cino-americani.
Norwegian Wood: non cosìbello come pensavo (diverse persone me ne avevano parlato come di un gran libro e le mie aspettative erano probabilmente troppo alte).
