.. .: :: Francesca's delirium :: :. ..

Yesterday was the last baby-sitting day for a while. I love when the little kid falls asleep on my shoulder, and I can feel him breathing on my neck. I love playing with him and watching his lovely blue eyes. But...I'm happy I have a break now :)
Yesterday night I left my cell phone at the kids' home, so this morning I had to go there again to have my cell back...Where is my head????
Ok. I will try to relax until the end of the week. I have some things to do, and an other graduation party on May 1st ( I promise, I have to go this time!). But, I also have to relax. From next week on, I must start getting prepared for the qualifying examination for engineers, which will take place on May 25th. OH NO! I'm fed up with exams!
Also, I MUST start a diet. I hope the next month will give me the strength to do that. I let myself go way too much after my graduation. I need to take care of myself and my health now...
Well, I have to update my fanlistings and answer some emails...Pen pals please forgive me I'll answer you as soon as possible!!!! *_*

Tired...Extremely tired...Baby-sitting, cinema, theatre, friends' graduations---GIMME A BREAK!!!!
I'm dreaming of my bed...I want to sleep!!! I'm not used to this chaotic life!!!
I should go to a graduation party this evening, but I don't know...I'm falling asleep...Maybe I'll just go there to say 'hi' and then I'll come back home...But I'm more likely just to stay at home...My friends will insult me as usual...And I deserve it :(
And other tiring week is starting: baby-sitting, English cinema, and my mum will be away from Monday to Friday for a trip with her class (she's a teacher)...Aaaaaargh!!! God help me!!!

Could Mountain sucks!
My sister and I almost vomited in the cinema. Definitely it was not worth while the cheap ticket.
I was pretty sure I would love it! I enjoyed Hidalgo more! At least, I knew what to expect from it.
As far as Could Mountain...Well, after tons of improbably lucky events and I don't know how many miles on foot, Mr.Inman the deserter comes back to his beloved Ada...Well, you think he's immortal? They make love for the first and last time, and finally he's killed by the National Guard (actually, he lets the albino guard do that...Otherwise he would have shot him rather than ridiculously trying to talk!!!)...And bad luck is never enough! Ada will have a baby from him! Wowowow...How disgusting.
If there were an happy ending, it would have be entertaining. Improbable, but entertaining. But after 2 and more hours of wars, weapons and blood...Bleah!
Well, it seemed that Inman wanted to be killed. Because he was tired of war (you joined, idiot! what did you expect), because he was not good enough for Ada anylonger...So why did you came back to her? Just to make a baby and leave it orphan? It was much easier to be killed in the battleship, honey!
Well, it's my fault. I never want to read summaries or reviews. So I thought it was a romantic + historical novel.
Anyway, 2 things in the movie are wonderful:
1) The blond short-haired JUDE LAW...Lucky Nicole Kidman :)
2) Renee Zellweger. I absolutely adore her. I already loved her in other movies, but in this one she really deserved all the awards in the world :)
Ok. Yesterday I also had my first experience as baby sitter (not bad for a graduated girl huh?) with a 18-month old lovely boy. It was only 2 hours before going to the cinema. I loved it! The kid is adorable and affectionate. It was a pleasure to spend some time with him!
Today I am going to see 3 friends' graduations, and this evening I am going to see an other movie at the cinema.
I wish all my life was as busy as this week!
Have a nice day!

This week there are many things to do!
Many friends of mine are going to graduate in Engineering:
Chiara on April 21th (this afternoon), Giorgio, Giulio, Tiziano on April 22nd (which is also Giulio's birthday!) and Ted next Monday. This means a lot of money but also parties and food *LOL*
Yesterday evening I went to the theatre to watch the last play for the 2003/2004 drama programme. I took out a subsciption for it on October and I didn't miss a performance. I had never ben to theatre before, and now I am crazy about it! I hope next season I will have the chance to subscribe again. Anyway, yesterday I watched Il fu mattia Pascal by Luigi Pirandello. I read the book years ago and it's one of my favorite books ever.
By the way, my favorite book is Jane Eyre, and I also love Pride and Prejudice and other Jane Austen's books, Girl with the pearl earring, Wuthering Heights, The picture of Dorian Gray...Ok, the list is getting too long :)
This evening I'm going to see Could Mountain with my sister, and maybe we'll go to the Chinese restaurant before that...I hope so, bacause I love using chopsticks! I'm not good at using them, but it's a lot of fun!
Well, I'm going out for a walk with my neighbour Martina in an hour. The weather is good, and it's a rare event in these days!
Well...After 2 months of depression (after my graduation), this week I am happy to be unemployed :)

The weather was bad but not enough to waste the weekend.
I wish Cecilia had seen a sunny Trieste!
Anyway, at least it didn't rain all the weekend long!
Hidalgo was a useless, sometimes even ridiculous movie...But I liked it...
VIGGO RULES!!!! I adore him! But Cecilia and I regret that he was always wearing something! Oh, but his tight trousers..mmmmh!
On Sunday afternoon we watched Emma starring G.Paltrow and yummy J.Northam... Thanks Cecilia! I love it!
Well, I've spent hours at the computer updating fanlistings and creating a new one...But Filezilla doesn't work and I can't upload anything!
Moreover, I lost the message I was posting and I had to write it again because I closed the window by mistake :(
I'm going out for a walk, before I do something BAD to my computer!!

wowowow!!! It's FRIDAY!!!
Cecilia will arrive in Trieste this evening. I will not touch the computer for a couple of days so I wish you all a nice weekend!
I hope the weather will be good, as I want to spend as much time as possible out of my house. She MUST see the Castle of Miramare which is the most enchanting place here. Actually the weather has been bad for months, but at least I hope it will not rain!
Saturday evening we'll go to the cinema to watch Hidalgo with my new crush Viggo Mortensen :) I'm pretty sure the movie is not a good movie, but I'll love it anyway *LOL*
Well, have to go now. I hope my guest will not be shocked by the untidiness in my house...It's hopeless, the house is not big and 5 people live in it :)
Oh, yesterday I was in a BAD mood...I should delete the post but well, I won't. Don't ask me why. It was me who wrote it, and I've got nothing to hide.
Again have a nice weekend!!!

Thanks God I can escape from reality very easily, dedicating to my favorite hobbies: drawing and painting, creating fanlistings, reading.
At the moment I'm falling in love with a book I borrowed my friend Nicoletta: 'Memoires of a Geisha' by Arthur Golden. Definitely one of the most involving books I've ever read. I strongly recommend it to all the sensititive persons, to all the women and to all the people who love Japanese culture.
I'm going to buy a lot of manga as usual. In the meantime, I bought, read and adored the 1st volume of Orpheus no Mado by Riyoko Ikeda. A work of art.
By the way, I need not to think too much about what's happening in the world. One of the 4 Italian hostages has been killed. Osama Bin Laden (or whoever recorded that message) promises a truce for Europeans provided they leave Iraq. So, what the hell our Goverment is waiting for? Maybe the terrorist attack in Spain was not enough? I prefer to be considered a coward rather than see an other slaughter. Sorry, I truly believe that a human life is the most iportant thing in the world. Believe me, I used to like American politics and lifestyle when I was younger. I was so wrong! No, I don't support communists, anarchists, terrorists. Maybe I am just like the 99% of Italians, I respect people and I just want peace (who doesn't? Well...Too many people I guess). I have never heard of an Italian supporting this war. I've seen tons of useless demontrations nobody up there cares about.
I know and respect some Arab and muslim people. They're neither worse neither better than the rest of people. And...would you believe it? I talked to one of them and he wants peace also. He's not a terrorist. He's (or was - maybe he graduated) a University student, he's got a wife and a baby. Many years ago he invited some students (included me) at home and cooked couscous.
I can remember that he kept fast during Ramadan. I wish I was as a good Christian as he is a good Muslim!
How come there are still idiots who think that in this war (and in every war) there are 100% good -Vs- 100% evil ones?
Well, everything I wrote is even more useless than all the demonstrations for peace. I couldn't help writing it though.
I'm escaping again to my dreamworld. I just hope there are some Americans who don't support Bush and wars. This is my only hope at the moment. I want to believe there's something good in the US. There MUST be. All the Americans I've met are so friendly and easy-going. I can't believe they all support Bush. Even if they told me, I wouldn't believe them.

How did you spend your Easter Holidays? I ate tons of sweets and chocolate and now my weight...AAARGH!
It's not my fault! The weather was not good, so I stayed at home...Poor me *LOL*
OK. I promise I'll be a good girl from next week on, because for the moment I still have lots of delicious food at home and I am still unemployed (that is, I can hear the call of the kitchen more often than the rest of the family!)...Moreover, this weekend Cecilia from Napoli will stay at my house and I can't make her diet hehehe :p
Oh no! Next week some ex-university mates of mine will graduate! I think there will be other occasions to gain weight °_°
*Liposuction wanted*
Ok. Kidding (not too much actually). There are more serious problem in the world. I know.
Anyway, since I graduated (i.e. I am unemployed) I haven't done anything special (besides spending 4 fabulous days in Napoli at Cecilia's!). In the last days, I wanted to take long walks to relax, but the weather didn't help me. So I worked hard on my web page (esp. my fanlistings) and I created this blog. Now I have to contact my blogger friends to let them now :)
Special thanks to Iva for her advice about my fanlistings and to Paola for being the first visitor here :)

Happy Easter everyone! After this break I'll inaugurate my blog *LOL*

Ok, the site is slowly growing...Soon I will tell friends about it :)

Ok the first layout will be very simple...It's harder than what I thought...But the 2nd version will be better...Hopefully :)

Hello world! And then you had it...Even good old Francesca has her own blog now :)
I will work at the layout as soon as possible...It seems funny!
