from today this LJ is going semi friends only, this means some of my posts, the most private ones and all the art posts, will be read only by my f-list.
if you want to be added, please comment here, but keep in mind i don't friend anymore people with empty LJ and people who don't add me back.

back from japan 1 week ago, i still have to get used again to life in this hole of a country, but i'm doing just fine, if only i was able to not fall asleep around 6 pm everyday it would be awesome!
these 2 weeks have been really intense and really great (and really expensive for my wallet, i bought a lot of craps, some of them i even don't know how are meant to be used!): we travelled a lot, not only by plane (it's always a18000 km round trip) but also by train and by bus and this time also by ferry!
just think that after a 12 hours flight there was a 820km train ride (shinkansen) from tokyo to hiroshima, but we were so excited about all the things we were going to see that we weren't tired at all!
this time i'd really like to take the time and write about my travel on lj.
( day 1 & day 2 )

next day is hiroshima, which struck me as i didn't expect to.

*___*
i'm actually in miyajima island, we arrived this morning at 13.00 a.m. after a long ride from tokyo to hiroshima by supercomfy shinkansen, then we took a train from hiroshima to miyajimaguchi and finally a short trip on a ferry boat took us to miyajima. the place is gorgeous indeed!
there are deers everywhere but they're not so friendly, they chase you to catch your belongings, one of them ate my friend's map!

we have a very beautiful room, we have view on five-stories pagoda, momijidani park and ootorii gate, very beautiful!
tomorrow we'll visit hiroshima and then head for kyoto, can't wait to see kinkoku-ji!

japan is always astonishing!

i went to see it last night and although i was afraid quentin might have missed it this time, i completely changed my mind, the movie is a truly masterpiece! that man has pure genius in his veins!
i suggest everyone to go and see it at least once, i think i will go to see it again and if i manage to find the time i will write a rec.

*still in awe*

anyone reading bakuman?
i still have to decide if i like it or not, i mean, it's interesting because it's a view on the mangaka world from the inside but i have to say i miss the beautiful and cool bishounen obata usually draws.
anyway since it's written by tsugumi ohba i guess i can wait a little more before deciding if i like it or not.
one thing is for sure, unfortunately: obata's female charas are getting more and more annoying and stupid, they all seem to come out from an ecchi doujinshi =o=

today and tomorrow we're having european election, i will go and vote for:
- a woman
i'm not a feminist, i never voted someone only because it's a woman as me, but after the last episodes involving our premier (not that i think that's the worst he did, the real problem is what he does politically and legally, not in his bed!), i feel that italy is still a male chauvinist country, and this needs to be changed as quick as possible.
our actual government's prominent female figures are always making me feel ashamed of being an italian, that's why i want to be represented by a "real" woman, especially in front of other european countries.

- a woman who has her own political ideas
someone who doesn't share the same ideas of our current government, who has a strong political programme and a solid background, sorry but this doesn't include miss italia pageant and television appearances.

- a woman who doesn't have any criminal record
this may be a very hard-to-find requirement in italy, considering how many of the candidates does have a lot of criminal records (most of them within the current government, starting with our premier, but there are a few also in the opposition party). sometimes it looks like the more you have been investigated and sentenced the more chances you have to get a chair!
this is so wrong and must absolutely change, i am so ashamed to be ruled by people who desperately need to have power and blatantly change the laws only to avoid being sentenced and going to prison!

will i find my ideal candidate? let's cross fingers!

sammy you're a freaking bitch!!!
how dare you make dean suffer so much? i swear i don't stand him anymore!
how the hell he's buying every word that ruby-whore says to him (without asking himself why she's so willing to help him) and doesn't believe not even one word from his brother!?
this is so wrong, i don't want them to fight like this ;___;
and we've got only 1 ep to go, i am scared of what may happen T________________T

OMG!! that's beyond unbelievable!
i was just watching ep 18 of supernatural season 4 and i found myself squeeling in front of my monitor like a rabid fangirl because they actually pay tribute to supernatural fandom!!! to wincest fandom!
these lines are going to be written all over fandom history:

dean: what's a slash fan?
sammy: as in... sam-slash-dean. together
dean: like together, together?
sammy: yeah
dean: they do know we're brothers, right?
sammy: doesn't seem to matter
dean: oh, come on. that... that's just sick

dean's expression is so priceless!!! ^O^O^O^O^

this series is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

i've uploaded my nyc pics on flickr, if you want to take a look that's the link to the set:

this means i may be able to write a nyc report very soon ^__-

non lo sopporto piu'!
io mi sento civile ed evoluta e pretendo di vivere in un paese altrettanto evoluto e civile dove ogni essere umano (o il suo tutore se non e' in grado di intendere e di volere) ha diritto di decidere del proprio destino.
la liberta' di scelta e' l'unico diritto irrinunciabile, purtroppo questa non e piu' una prerogativa dell'italia.

nel nostro paese la vita umana viene cosi' tutelata:
chi non e' riconosciuto cittadino di serie A, chi e' in difficolta', chi e' povero e ha solo la pensione minima puo' essere lasciato morire di fame, di stenti e di malattia, chi invece e' gia' praticamente morto da 17 anni non solo e' costretto a vegetare in un letto ma diventa pure oggetto di una becera e volgarissima lotta politica e costituzionale, e' una vergogna tanto grande che non riescono neanche a definirla.

hanno (governo e giornali compiacenti) trovato proprio un bel modo per far distogliere lo sguardo dai problemi reali del paese, complimenti premier, tanto di cappello per il suo istinto politico!
una polemica costruita ad arte per ottenere piu' risultati con un'unica esca:
- far scannare gli italioti laici e cattolici tra loro e non farli pensare tra le tante cose ad esempio ai posti di lavoro che stanno rischiando di perdere (del resto allo stadio diventa sempre piu' difficile fare guerriglia, quindi bisogna che il governo fornisca altri spazi ai nostri tifosi, perche' purtroppo gli italiani hanno la tifoseria nel dna, non si tratta solamente del calcio, qualsiasi cosa diventa campo di battaglia)
- evitare e rimandare ancora una volta il discorso eutanasia e testamento biologico
- farsi belli con i fanatici cattolici rinfocolando le loro posizioni, gia' abbastanza estreme, in modo da garantirsi una bella fetta di elettorato per le prossime elezioni e portarsi avanti col lavoro
- scavalcare e ignorare vergognosamente il presidente della repubblica (pure il suo alleato politico fini, che e' un politico nel vero senso della parola, ne e' rimasto schifato!), probabilmente il premier punta ad eliminare questo ruolo e a riunire nella sua figura anche le sue competenze
- strizzare l'occhiolino al papa e regalargli questo ennesimo piacere di intervenire nella pubblica vita del laico stato italiano
- cominciare a buttare i semi per cambiare a breve la costituzione, del resto dopo aver piegato il potere giudiziario alle proprie necessita' perche' non farlo anche con la costituzione?
meno male che c'e' il presidente a salvarci dal rischio che, inconsapevoli, abbiamo corso in tutti questi decenni, perche' forse non lo sapevate, ma la nostra e' una costituzione filo-sovietica!! *paura, paura*
non importa che sia sempre stata ammirata per la sua modernita' e gli alti principi civili, non importa che l'unico problema sia sempre stato il non metterla in atto nella sua pienezza, vedrete che presto quando avremo la perfetta costituzione berlusconiana tutto si risolvera'.

complimenti davvero premier, questo si che si chiama prendere due piccioni con una fava! perche', a meno che eluana non sia l'unico caso del genere in italia (cosa di cui dubito fortemente), qualsiasi persona con un minimo di logica non capisce come, in un periodo di recessione economica, una questione tanto privata possa occupare le prime pagine di tutti i giornali da settimane.

in compenso grazie a questa fine strategia politica, tutti i giorni sono costretta a leggere e sentire delle emerite minchiate populiste (l'ultima del "nostro" premier: eluana ha un bell'aspetto e potrebbe pure avere figli, in un futuro potrebbe essere risvegliata), capeggiate dal vaticano e dai fondamentalisti cattolici, che veramente non hanno niente di meglio da fare che sparare stronzate a destra e a manca. l'illuminato papa si e' pure permesso di criticare il presidente della repubblica, dopo che questi ha giudicato incostituzionale il decreto del governo e si e' rifiutato di firmarlo, e lo ha invitato a rivedere la sua posizione.
e' il papa che deve dire al presidente della repubblica come comportarsi? in quale mondo, di grazia? questo papa e' un virus della laicita' e della democrazia.
cosa sarebbe successo se fosse stato napolitano a bacchettare e consigliare il papa su una questione teologica? mi immagino quali polemiche e che indignazione avrebbero "moderatamente" espresso i "moderatissimi" cattolici! perche' non hanno seguito l'esempio di clemente V e non sono rimasti tutti ad avignone? giacobbo, tu che sia tutto, rispondimi!
mi sembra di essere tornata al 2004 e ai giorni dell'embrione con diritti civili piu' importanti di un essere umano vivo e bisognoso di cure.
PURA FOLLIA!
io voglio vivere in un paese che tutela me, cittadina viva, formata, con delle esigenze e delle necessita', non in un paese che cerca di tutelare morti ed embrioni!
e' possibile che per farlo si sia costretti ad emigrare all'estero?

e a proposito di costituzione, per rinfrescare la memoria su quali siano i principi su cui dovrebbe basarsi il nostro paese, lascio questo link:

i had promised to write a post about my summer trip to japan but not only i didn't manage to, now i also have to write one about new york trip! i so want more time for myself x_x
in the meantime i managed to upload new pictures in my flickr account, you can find tokyo pics there, some old london pics and other stuff as well, enjoy ^_^
http://www.flickr.com/photos/missvichan/collections/72157606344342846/

next upload will be new york trip, in which you'll see the crappiest pics ever LOL^^

i really don't know how i'll survive waiting for a new supernatural episode every week X__X i didn't know 7 days were soooooo long!

about supernatural, i'm a bit disappointed, i used to love ruby a lot, she was my fave female character in the show, but now this new actress is just going to make me dislike ruby, i totally preferred the old one, there's something i can't stand in the new ruby, kinda like... i hate her!^^'''
at first i didn't realize what was wrong with her character, now i know: this actress just doesn't have "it", she's not fit for the role, while katie cassidy managed to get the character pretty interesting.
plus this sex-angst-thing between her and sam... blah, it's plain boring, point.
ah, by the way, dean is teh gorgeuos, as usual!

and finally his day has come.
i really don't know how he will sleep at night, knowing that all over the world everyone is expecting so much of him, anyway i wish him (and us) the best.
it's been so long since a president of a nation has been able to rise hope in people's hearts, we do hope this day will be the first day of a new, better era.

merry xmas and happy new year to all my flist from new york city!

i'm having the best time here, i didn't imagine the city to be like that, at all, but it's incredibly beautiful, a place onw would like to live in. we've also been gifted with warm weather, today it's a beautiful sunny day, we're planning to visit empire state building.

off to finish my white chocolate mocha!
