April 2008

On the 26th me and Regine made a trip to south Tuscany and Umbria, visiting Pitigliano (where we stayed for lunch) and Orvieto.

I came to know that the South Woodford's Queen Mary College, in London, was demolited in 2007. This is where I spent two summer holidays back in 1988 & 1989; this is where I lived very strong emotions that still now sometimes arise in my mind...where i met Giovanni G. who'll become one of my best friends, where I gave my first kiss, where I discovered London and the New World and where I started discovering and becoming what I am. Long life to this places! Long life to the 80's! Long life to my memories!

Music....Youtube has become my jukebox for real. I can find a lot of old EJ material....This guy Steffen2k7 has got a lot of EJ cool stuff!

Christoph came here to stay for 1 week. We tried to speak German most of the time, and it's been an hard time for him, I know, since I'm still not able to conversate... Aber, viele danke Christoph fur haben mit mir deutsche spreken, und bitte Kommst du zuruk wann du wilst.

March 2008

Dario's 30th birthday has been celebrated in Napoli in a pub called Volver. I moved south for a couple of days.

This time I'm seroiusly studying German. Let's hope to be able to conversate soon, so that we can move north... Meanwhile maybe I'll put down some words in German on this website, the way that I can monitor my improvements in time.
Ich habe Deutsche lehrnen gestern (March 11th): lektionen 10 und 11. Dativ und Personal Pronomen! Sie sind sehr schwierig fur mich, wiel Ich habe nie studiert Italienisch (sondern Ich habe gelernt es) und dann ich weiß keine Grammatik-Regeln.
Es is besser wenn Ich wiederhole die Personal und Possessiv Pronomen, sehr schwierig!

I found this amazing Elton John's tabs resource called Eltonchords.com. Again my infinite thanks goes to this love and happyness instrument called Internet.

February 2008

From the past
This song 'Evviva La Torre di Pisa', sung here by Mario Latilla, represented my first debut on the music scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp6X9f7VBQQ

Do you remember this guys from 'Los ricos tambièn lloran'? It was such a strange effect to find this pictures and feel how time has fastly gone.

Me and Regine were enjoing Paolo Conte's music this weeke end, so I thought about this review about Paolo Conte 'Best of' written in 2002 for www.epinions.com...

5 February, 2008 Sick

...after about 4 years without getting ill....these days I'm feeling sick...
I'm ill, and this is probably becase of a mini soccer match I played last week after about 2 years of absence from the soccer pitches...
Once I was stronger....

Avoiding scientists' protests, pope cancels university speech (TIME on line), and now all the Italian media and politicians seem ashamed and sorry...in a country where the Catholic Church rules, with its constant precence in TV and political issues!

15 January, 2008 Myspace 2

in fact... just The Toilets remained on myspace.

09 January, 2008 Myspace

Recently Myspace is taking a good part of my free time. This community seems an extraordinary way to connect people and emerging artist from everywhere.
My passion for this great, immense invention called internet has found a new friend and 2 new virtual realities have emerged in the last days:
www.myspace.com/lapelazzuli, a windows exposed to this site, and subsequently to my life
and
www.myspace.com/thetoiletspace, which honestly makes more sense than the first one since it represents the space for my multimedia artistic project 'The Toilets' where songs and other stuff can be found.
This is where I have published The Toilets Album 'Demos' and this is what will become a new repository for my art outcomes and will, hopefully, give new fuel to my ispiration which dormant state lasts since too long.

07 January, 2008 Pop Art

Yesterday we visited with Marco and Mariangela the 'Pop Art' exhibition at Scuderie del Quirinale here in Rome.
I found it quite interesting and it once more consolidated my appreciation for Andy Wahrol.

My parents have been here for the week end and will leave tomorrow. Today is my father's birthday, and we'll celebrate dining out tonight.
