Vivamente consigliato!
Un film che mi ha fatto pensare a come l'essere donna in fondo non cambi con la nazionalità ,la religione o la ricchezza; le gioie e i dolori sono ovunque e per tutte simili.
La protagonista (oltre che regista), Nadine Labaki, è uno spettacolo nello spettacolo, di una bellezza imbarazzante, una rivelazione sia davanti che dietro la macchina da presa. E' un film educato ed efficace, colorato e reale... uno di quelli che a me più rimangono impressi, proprio perchè la loro scia non si esaurisce con i titoli di coda, ma portano a rivivere in più occasioni le loro storie con le immagini della mente.
Un ottimo venerdì sera!

Se questo è ciò a cui stiamo andando incontro...si prospettano tempi mooolto bui.

Avere 20 anni oggi significa guardare al futuro con meno ottimismo e fiducia di quanto ne avessero i nostri genitori quarant'anni fa; l'unica via d'uscita è SCAPPARE... magari sulla luna...

Un anno fa...

Everything started today.

Sognavo questo momento da....non so, forse due anni?
Ebbene eccomi qua, seduta ad un tavolo con lo sgabello alto, con un cappuccio fumante e il mio mac davanti. Ovviamente connesso!
Finalmente testo questa meraviglia che è il servizio wi-fi dell'unibo e vecchi ricordi riaffiorano nella mente... mi sembra che sia passato un secolo dalle file fatte davanti allo sportello iperbole del municipio!
E invece oggi è stato tutto semplice, niente file, niente moduli da compilare. Sì perchè per gli studenti basta inserire le credenziali dell'unibo per connettersi...troppo comodo!

Sono contenta di poter fare anche qui quello che mesi fa facevo quotidianamente in UK, ci si sente un pò più al passo coi tempi diciamo.

Consiglieri Apicali

2007-09-10T21:56:00.000+01:00

Mi è capitato poche volte di trovare ciò che sto studiando per un esame come argomento di attualità sui giornali. Questa è una di quelle.
Fra pochi giorni dovrò parlare ad un assistente (perchè sicuramente il professore sarà troppo impegnato per ascoltare una misera studentessina qualunque come me) di Diritto Amministrativo, di una recente sentenza della Corte Costituzionale (n.233 del 2006) proprio a proposito dello spoil system, sistema (italiano ma non solo) di nomine dirigenziali da parte degli organi politici.
In quella sentenza la Corte aveva dichiarato costistuzionalmente legittimo questo sistema se riferito alle posizioni dirigenziali apicali.

corriere.it

Fabiano Fabiani nuovo consigliere del Cda Rai nominato da Padoa Schioppa occuperebbe quindi una posizione dirigenziale apicale, non è vero?
Ma soprattutto, siamo sicuri di voler seppellire bellamente il principio di distinzione fra politica e amministrazione? ...non stanno diventando tutti un pò troppo dello stesso colore?

SEPTEMBER

2007-09-05T15:20:00.001+01:00

After a long summer of nothing... September again!
This is definetely my month, not just cause my birthday is here, but because to me it seems like January, and the departure is absolutely my preferred time. Everything starts again: uni, cold weather, "normal" life. Now the time of "wine and roses" is finished, the beach is no more available, I will progressively say goodbye to naked clothing and embrace the coat.
This year the challenge is even stronger.
I feel like starting again....i dunno for what or why exactly, but I know that... may be for the fact that last year in this period I was preparing my departure for Canterbury, which kept me away for 9 months; may be because i'll live in a new house in Bologna, with new people; may be beacuse I Am Different (ah ah ah).
Anyway, I'll begin the last year, but feel like being at the first... Isn't it exciting???

So, good luck to everybody, especially to me!

Today I must celebrate.
I feel older, today... I'm aware I'm no more the little girl who used to play with Barbie, Ken and CiccioBello (although I liked these games sooo much). The break-point comes when u start to play with real babies, being them yours or some1 else's sons.
Don't worry, it's not me, I didn't come back pregnant from the erasmus (as my brother prefigured me many times), I think I should wait a bit before making the big step.

Today I'm for the third time AUNT!
Giulio, welcome to this wonderfoul world!!!

(...)
Today, Boingo Wireless, one of the biggest aggregators with more than 100,000 hot spots, is introducing what it says is the first worldwide flat-rate plan for Wi-Fi hot spots. For a monthly fee of 29 euros, or $39, subscribers can use any of the company’s affiliated hot spots for as long as they want.

Tomorrow I'll discover that I'm definitely back to Italy.
No more chances for an "apple+C apple+V" on a page in order to have a good mark, I must be wild and brave, look the teacher (or the assistant instead) directly in the eyes, and answer to every question he'll make me with the typical smile-to-piss-off face they usually have.

...England dear England, the student's paradise, where you can study three days before the exam, saying to everybody that u'r incredibly busy, don't even have time to eat, and finally pass the exam with a honorable mark.
I wish to every English student to come for once in Italy, and see with what the poor italian has to deal with ...I'm sure he wouldn't say a word anymore about his lack of life during the exam-term!

Rimini - Marina di Ravenna

Nice one, non posso lamentarmi, ma la mancanza di tutti gli altri compagni erasmus si sente ancora, non tanto ieri visto che ero insieme a quasi tutte le ragazze erasmus italiane alla DUNADEGLIORSI, ma stasera, al consueto appuntamento aperitivo Grand Hotel: tutti vecchiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!! ma come ho fatto in qsti ultimi anni a non accorgermene?!?! ora proprio è una cosa che mi dà la nausea trovarmi a ballare fianco a fianco con una tardona di 40 anni che vuole fare la ragazzina (e probabilmente ha anche un fisico migliore del mio) e il pappone che prima ti guarda malizioso e poi viene ad offrirti da bere. Che mondo di merda!

E fra 6 ore sveglia per partenza verso... Bologna, sstazione di BBBologna....aaaahh, cara vecchia vita...

I couldn't be more sad and upset than what I'm now... the dream came to an end, I have to wake up and start again.
Anyway I'm so thanksful to life for everything happened to me in the last nine months I can't neither explain.
The Erasmus made me new, happy, positive, and open to the different. I'm going home with a new perspective, a different way of looking at things, I released my inner self and I really hope that this won't change with the everyday life.
Thanx mum, Thanx Dad, Thanks God!

Cambridge, May the 26th

2007-05-29T22:22:00.001+01:00

Lovely city, probably the most beautiful I've seen here in England (since Edimburgh is in Scotland). The idea I had of it was that of a vibrant place, always in movement, eternally young though very old.
It is a posh city, this is true, everything seems to be in order, but not for this it has to be flat. Young studying people always bring freshness and creativity I think!
In this colourfoul market I bought a second hand book (with also a dedication inside!) that is really involving me, "About a boy", by N.Hornby. The english is very simple and I can read it without problems, so....thx to Cambridge!

Anche se questo mio discorso potrebbe risultare insensato perchè mancante di riferimenti effettivi, ho bisogno di farlo lo stesso.
E' arrivato il momento di tagliare quel cordone ombelicale con il passato (recente) che ancora, nonostante tutto, mi ostino a voler pensare esistente. Mi sento scombussolata, malinconica e a tratti (grandi tratti) nostalgica, ma è ora, questo è il momento giusto.
...e dopo tutti questi buoni propositi, tutto ciò che volevo dire in realtà era solo: "I won't share you. I'll see you somewhere. I'll see you sometime, darling." Gli Smiths hanno sempre ragione.

Spero che TU ti ricordi di una promessa, e la mantenga a tempo debito.

Star Wars v Dirty Dancing

2007-05-13T22:55:00.000+01:00

Mi sento così nazional popolare a leggere questo articolo (anche se si riferisce ai gusti degli inglesi), così main stream... eppure con me ci prende in pieno, sono una delle tante che più lo guarda e più lo riguarderebbe...inguaribile romantica? Forse, ma il fascino di Dirty Dancing non sta solo nella storia, PATRICK è fondamentale in questa ossessione-dipendenza!

E cmq per la cronaca voglio dire che per essere super partes e poter gudicare obbiettivamente il duello mi sono addirittura spinta fino a ciò che sarebbe stato inimmaginabile per me un anno fa: ho guardato Star Wars!!! e sì, devo ammettere, mi è pure piaciuto...but never as much as DIRTY DANCING.

The last two questions i've answered were really badly made, with few legal references and few words in general...but the fact is that I should have had more time!!!! one hour at least!!! If it's true that they will make u not pass only if u give a white paper, my only comfort is that I passed...And now start to think to the next!!!!

Big is Better

My butt is big
And round like the letter C
And ten thousand lunges
Have made it rounder
But not smaller
And that’s just fine.
It’s a space heater
For my side of the bed
It’s my ambassador
To those who walk behind me
It’s a border collie
That herds skinny women
Away from the best deals
At clothing sales.
My butt is big
And that’s just fine
And those who might scorn it
Are invited to kiss it.
Just do it.

Babel

2007-03-27T19:58:00.000+01:00

Yesterday I went in our campus' cinema to watch for only 2,50£ this movie.
I thought it would have been boring and heavy, instead it surprised me. It's a great picture of the babel-world in which we all live, it made me reflecting on the relativity of life, on the importance of the latitude, and on the thin red line which separes the presumed from the real. It's so easy today to not see this line and interpret the facts of reality in the most useful and effortless way.
I don't wanna speak about the photography and direction, cos I'm absolutely not expert of these aspects, but, in my humble opinion, I can say that they were great: the impervious moroccan mountains with their small and lost villages , the desert's aridity and solitude, and the speedy and chaotic Tokyo with its alienate youth were portrayed in such an amazing way!
Definitely a must-see movie!

Why do this?

2007-03-26T16:33:00.000+01:00

In this year abroad several things should have been told, but I didn't write anything, neither on my moleskine (faithful friend during all my life's events). So why starting now with a blog?
Being honest, I donno...the only thing I know is that I'm lazy in my study, and this is only another excuse to not think at my essay!
May be that by this vile intention something good will rise, ...I hope so!

So, just to begin, HELLO TO EVERYBODY!
I want also to say that I will write not all and not always in English, just because I love my country and... I know Italian better than English of course!
