Because it seems that having a blog is a must... But it's wise to have your very personal one password-protected and accessible only to close friends who cannot sue you, and a boring, public, impersonal one, where you talk about your interests, just for the hell of it :)

Muse - Map of the Problematique
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?
Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?

Clients, those weird, loved-hated creatures...
The whole dreadful experience becomes hilarious when you realize that you are not alone. Then you start laughing out loud at jokes about clients :)
The funny thing is, you have to love clients, because thanks to them you have a job. But at the same time, they become a nightmarish presence that seem to be there only to make your life impossible.
If you know what I am talking about, you are probably already smiling - or sighing :)
Some links I really like. Are there more you would recommend?

Cool Links - Scroll Clock & Human Calendar
Not that I don't have any links to recommend, I am actually saving them in a file, for when I have time to write a few lines about them in this blog.
It's just that I am too horribly good at wasting my time on Facebook, Twitter and DeviantArt. They are outrageously addictive!
Anyway, today I want to mention two very creative ideas.
Do you remember my beloved Industrious Clock?
Let's go on with clever and original ways to display time and dates!
Here are
an awesome clock made with scrollbars: Scroll Clock
and a brilliant Human Calendar
Don't tell me you don't love them :)

Radiohead - Creep
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh
She's running out again
She's running out
She run run run run...
run... run...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here...

Colours and Dreams - my illustrations blog
Build an other one of course :)
Don't worry, I still love this blog and blogger.com.
But I happened to have to work with Wordpress and I wanted to play with it a little more.
Also, I wanted to create an illustration blog with some of my favourite works from my DeviantArt account and my Glass no Kamen fanart.
So this is what I have been doing in the last week or two, and I am still working on it :)
Enjoy and any feedback is welcome!

Perche' ti sei messa anonima?
Masumi l'ho fatto io parecchio tempo fa, ero ancora in Italia! E' da secoli nel sito di Maya tra le mie fanart.
UIno dei miei disegni preferiti, copiato da una foto su una rivista.
Grazie :)

Site of my life - Maya no Garasu no Kamen
My health is getting better, yet I am so tired that my billions of exciting ideas remain all in my head!
I seem to enjoy sleeping more and more every day!
(And eating, of course. But I have always loved eating so it doesn't count)
Anyway, today I want to make a nerdy announcement.
About 1 month ago, after 6 years since I bought dreamsaddict.com, I moved its hosting from Windows to Linux!
And I even bought some database. I haven't used it yet though.
In the meantime, I am tidying up the code of all the web pages.
The plan is changing all my websites from html to php.
All of this will mean absolutely nothing to you, but it makes my life so much easier when I have to keep my sites updated. And it renovates my enthusiasm. I even bought a new laptop (at last!)
If only my days had 36 hours, all the broken links will be already fixed, all the sites in dreamsaddict.com would be already in php and all my fanlistings would be database-driven.
Well, Rome wasn't built in a day, was it? And look at the magnificent result :)
So, today I want to celebrate once more, the site that actually changed my life
Maya no Garasu no Kamen
Thanks to "Glass no Kamen" the manga, many years ago I found a strong motivation in self-teaching html and building a site to share all the info I could find with the fans from all over the world.
Thanks to the manga and the fan site I built, I happened in different ways to meet my best friends, to find amazing pen pals and to receive excellent works from stunning fanartists.
Thanks to the site I built, and all the encouraging messages I received from all over the world, I happened to believe in my dreams again.
So, since 99% of my blog visitors are actually Glass no Kamen fans, I want to thank you all for your precious support.
Your feedback, help and collaboration are priceless.
Thank you!
