Mh. I might post that infamous Des/Sayid sort of smut thing tomorrow or the day after if I find the guts to. Not now though, after seeing some typos I did last night I realized that Kant makes my head fail at editing.

Also, congratulations Spain. At least because your goalkeeper is hot and you preserved my sleeping patterns ;)

Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along. -> also in comments is fine.



Alfred Hitchcock: the only reason I'm proud to be born on August 13th since he's the only cool one to be born that day ;) seriously, a lot of my favorite movies are from the 40s/50s and I love, love, love his. No one could direct movies as he did and his interview with Truffaut is probably the best book about cinema I ever read all my life. My favorites are Rear Window, North by Northwest, Notorius, Psycho, The Birds and Vertigo.

Vincent Van Gogh: I'll be unoriginal, but he's my favorite artist. When I went to a comprehensive exposition of his paintings I sort of was in heaven for one day. Every time I see the Crows in a Wheat Field painting I get ridiculously emotional.

Edward Scissorhands: Where the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp team awesome was born and isn't it just one of the best movies they ever did together? I cried the first time I watched it. The acting is superb and the story is just heartbreaking.

Opera: because I am a good Italian just when it comes to opera. 85% of the Italian music I listen to is opera (even if sometimes I'll listen to some German or French one). Though I have kind of weird tastes because my favorites are Mozart (God) and Rossini (God #2), I do like Verdi but not at crazy levels, Puccini does close to nothing for me and IMHO Wagner should have died before even learning what a scale is. Never go to see Wagner live, especially if it's the Parsifal. I did and I'm positive that after three hours I was hallucinating. But apart from that, opera is much more fun than they make it seem, especially when you can appreciate some truly awful librettos redeemed by stunning music. If you want the whole package get Mozart though, IMHO nothing got closer to formal musical perfection as Don Giovanni did.

Pushing Daisies: cutest show EVER. I love it. It totally makes me smile and is such a happy show even if the subject should be sort of grim. Oh, and I totally want Emerson to be my bodyguard or something. Also, it makes me want to bake pies for a living, except I fail at that.

Photoshop: well, I'm sort of addicted. But it's probably because since I completely and utterly suck at drawing (which is probably the only skill I'd pay to have), I like to do something nice with images.

Sawyer: oh Sawyer. The favorite character of my friend that got me into Lost of which I sort of knew life, death and dimples before even watching it. Also, the most cooperative POV to write I ever found and the only character in a show I found who has more or less my literary tastes. Because I mean, he reads Steinbeck. What's not to love? Might not be my favorite because my preferences lie in three/four other places first, but I do love him, and a lot.

Pushing Daisies is beyond awsome!
We all need some happy tv that makes us all warm and fuzzy inside don't we?
And how awsome isn't it that a guy like Emerson knits in his spare time? XD
Aw I miss that show... and I am so going to buy the dvds in September when they're released!

And Photoshop? I'm the same!
Hell, I'm even going to study graphic design for a year... and I can't draw to save my life.
I would pay to be able to draw nicely too... I would probably pay for some other skills too though. Like singing and being kickass and agile XD


edit: WTF? I scrolled up and read your line saying "and your memory cannot keep me warm but it never leaves me cold"... but I read it as
"and your memory card keeps me warm and it never leaves me cold"
.... I suck XD

AUTOPATPAT :D

BELLISSIMO quel quadro di Vincent (che detto così sembra il cane..) *_*

Opera: sembra che in questo siamo assolutamente in sintonia. Venero Mozart (e non solo per le opere), adoro Rossini e anche Donizetti (L'elisir d'amore è una delle mie opere preferite), e Puccini proprio non riesco a farmelo piacere. Mi spiace dirlo perché sono una sua (probabilmente indegna) concittadina, di più, siamo nati nello stesso quartiere e tutt'ora abito a due passi dalla sua casa natale, ma non so che farci. Fosse per me non starebbe nemmeno tra gli esponenti della musica classica... Le sue opere mi sembrano più un'accozzaglia di canzoni melodiche. *zot! Fulminata dall'aldilà* E pensare che è il musicista italiano più famoso al mondo...

This is very interesting. Van Gogh is one of my favourite painters too. When I was a child I had a board game with postcards of famous paintings and I stole the Van Gogh ones for my room so the game became unplayable! You named all my favourite Hitchocks, except I've never seen Notorious. I especially like Rear Window and Vertigo.

Death and Dimples - Sawyer in a nutshell!

Your interests are very specific. I don't think I have enough to play.

our goalkeeper is God - he is also our goalkeeper so I'm very, very happy for him. The only good thing that happened yesterday ;)

Edward Scissorhands rocks my socks. He rocks them really hard.

I think our tastes when it comes to opera are polar opposites ;) Opera is amazing. No other musical genre comes close to its intensity and flat out craziness, how they can make some really silly stories work just because of the music and the singing.

Pushing Daises is so cute. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do, but it's adorable.

Oh my god, Pycho is nearly my favourite film ever.

Vincent Van Gogh is my favourite artist, so I'd never call you unoriginal. I'm just as interested in the man as well as his art.

Edward Scissorhands is fantastic, and Johnny Depp+Tim Burton is a recipe for fantastic. I also love Sleepy Hollow.

Sleeping Dasies is such a cool, quirky show.
