the random post including fever news, silent and not silent movies and other stuff

1. So it looks like they figured out what's wrong with me. Well, okay, I still have to do another round of blood tests but looks like it's either gastritis or something concerning the esophagus which I can't find the right expression for but which shouldn't be too bad in either case. *headdesk* Though at least it looks like he found some way to get the fever down which should happen within the week. And I hope because I've lost too much time over this already.

2. And of course point 1 means other blood tests on Monday. I swear I had more blood tests in the last two months than in all of my life.

3. I wish my cousin realized I do not like my grandmother's village. Because seriously, inviting me to a facebook group for 'lovers' of said place? *headdesk* I mean, reading the stuff they post there is kind of fun even if they're all completely crazy (seriously, a bar changes name and it's 'the end of an epic'? Oh well..), but seriously. She knows I barely stand the place two weeks each year. *sigh*

4. /small politics corner

Some idiots in the current government proposed to make immigrates pay a tax on their residence permit. And on the VAT number. *headdesk* I'm not even commenting on that anymore. /end

5. Last round of books/cds shopping: I bought myself Gaiman's Anansi Boys, the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack (which hell, it's so good. Well, I had some stuff from it, but not the entire cd and mm, I love it) and another couple of records which were ridiculously discounted. I clearly need to be kept out of bookshops which sell records, too.

6. Movies talking since I've watches some. The Man Who Laughs -> what a good film. I can't believe I had bought it six months ago and waited all this time to watch it. I also re-watched Some Like It Hot (which was the clear winner in the AU fic I should write) which is always awesome even if it was the fifth time, Misery which has to be one of the best King transpositions even if they kind of cut the most gruesome stuff if I remember well from the book. I've also watched Full Monty mainly because of something I'm writing. I had started it years ago and never finished it, but it was way better than I remembered. It was a lot of fun, I appreciated the gay couple even if it was barely shown and it gave me a couple ideas for said fic I needed it for.

7. I think it's pretty much all for now. I'll be off studying some and writing crack after I'm done.

I remember examining the Full Monty in sociology...not sure why we did it.

I went to a bookshop in Rome...the books in English were so expensive.

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Uhm, I think I know which one it was... or well, there are two English bookshops in reachable places so I can imagine. And yeah, they are indeed expensive, but it's usually three or four euros of difference and considering that English editions are usually better it's still worth the higher price. *sigh* But they are indeed expensive.

I went into one that was near a Versace boutique. That one was okish but then I went into one near Repubblica and the classics were like £6.50 and they were editions I bought from bookshops in England for £1.50.

Even at the prices, it was hard to resist buying books.

Mh, the two I was thinking about. Repubblica sometimes has the classics at that price but once in a blue moon when they get very cheap editions. And it sucks because is the one which is nearer so the one I go to most. That other one is better though.
