La Zia Marchesa


Caterina is a love child. But love alone is never enough.

Nude

Don't get any big ideas
They're not going to happen

You paint you white
And fill the holes
But there'll be something missing

And now that you found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

So don't get any big ideas
They're not going to happen

You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking
---------------------------------
It appears that some verses have disappeared from the published song with respect to the live one. These are:

She stands stark naked
And beckons you to bed
Don't go, you'll only want to come back again


From In Rainbows - Radiohead. You can buy the album at the price you decide!

Saved

I saved some data
It's my job
I save data
Like the physician
He operated
for 7 1/2 hours
And saved my father.

Marzia

In Sicily I met Marzia. Marzia is a very old friend of mine. I know her since more than 15 years, and she is always been very special to me. Marzia insisted for me to meet Claudio, and she was right. Claudio is a special person too. First of all, he is the first of Marzia boyfriends that I like, and that´s exceptional. On top of his clever eyes, and his conquering smile, he has a clear presence. We chatted together as we were always friends, and he did not let himself being interrupted by me. On saturday we went out together, and he made fun of Giancarlo, and tears were squized out of our eyes by us laughing as idiots. It was good. It was good to see Marzia happy, and deeply in love with him. This summer they will get married. Good luck guys, all the best.

La casta

Just finished reading La Casta, a book about italian politics; there is just a journalistic research on what italian politicts costs and what kind of benefit it brings. The picture is depressing; it is not about corruption, it is about all the privileges italian politicians have given themselves, resulting in an administration disaster. Last episode was about the filing of Bankruptcy for the city of Taranto...but the list of unbelieveable things is so long, you could write a book about it. As Rizzo and Stella did.

The problem with this book is that the problem is presented, but no solution is given. Personally I do not believe this cast of politician will be able to clean themselves and adopt more acceptable guidelines, as I don't believe that with the current voting system elections could bring an opening to it. Beppe Grillo, a comician from Genua that holds his fame to his homonimy with me, believes that internet and social mobilitazion might be the answer. I am not so sure. In 1992 we had Tangentopoli and Mani pulite, and 15 years later we are worst than then.

Unravel

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn

He'll never return it

So when you come back
We'll have to make new love


Björk - Unravel
