What I've been up to.

Hey guys, I know I haven't blogged much this past week, so I just thought I'd share some things that have kept me away from here.
First off, I've finnished exams! For now at least. They went great and I'm so incredibly relieved that's over with (for now)
I've been reading lots and lots, my head spins sometimes when I can't keep up with all the plots from the different books (hah). I'm finishing The Millenium Trilogy and might I say that I love it. I was also enthusiastic about the Swedish movie based on the first book.

Lisbeth Salander is by all means my heroine.

I've taken advantge of my free time to catch up on movies and TV shows a lot. My sisters and I love watching The A-Team and Criminal Minds together, while I've also been watching a lot of old movies like Nosferatu, The Innocents, and the FIRST movie ever made, Frankenstien (1910). What I love about old movies is the enthusiasm the people making them had. They were the pioneers of a new and incredible art form, and are just electrifiying.



We've been to two especially beautiful fairs here in the north of Italy, fist the Mostra Mercato Di Bienno, a small mountain town which organizes a fair each year where craftsmen can showcase their work. It happens all through the town, but most of the expos are in small cave-sort of tunnels that dot Bienno.


The other fair is called Festa di Santa Croce and takes place in Montisola, a tinsy winsy island in the Lake of Iseo. From the 14th to the 19th of September, the island is decorated with paper machè flowers, and I'll tell you, it's lovely. Unfortunately, it only takes place once every five years...

Can you believe all those flowers are fake? Wow. I hear it takes a year and a half to get this together, no wonder it's only once every five years.

So, that's been a little part of my life these months I wanted to share with you guys. Thanks for following this blog. Till next post.
Ciao ciao.

Oh by the way, we had homemade sushi for lunch today, you see I have the luck of having a Japanese sister-in-law. Delicious.

Lusting again

And this time it's for the glorious Ann Demeulemeester.
I mean, just look at that.
I will lust for ever and ever.


On another note, literally, I'm still enthused by Guiseppe Verdi's Aida performance at the Arena Di Verona last night. Beautiful. Opera live is an incredible experience.

Sex & The City 2008

L-R: Miranda, Charlotte, Carrie, Samantha

I know it sounds funny that I haven watch Sex & The City before *Aww! What a shame!*  Not even the dramas or the first episode of the movie. Had downloaded Sex & The City 2008 and leaving it in my folder for so long. Only when comes to tonight, I clicked and watched it till the end! And guess what? It's awesome! Falling into it so much! Can't wait to catch on the latest one in the cinema.


Let's peek on the summary for this fantastic movie :
A New York writer on sex and love is finally getting married to her Mr. Big. *psst, she is Carrie*



Mr. Big & Carrie 
After moving in together in an impossibly beautiful New York apartment, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big make a rather arbitrary decision to get married. The wedding itself proves to be anything but a hasty affair--the guest list quickly blooms from 75 to 200 guests, and Carrie's simple, label-less wedding gown gives way to an enormous creation that makes her look like a gigantic cream puff. An upcoming photo spread in Vogue puts the event--which will take place at the New York Public Library--squarely in the public eye. Meanwhile, Carrie's girlfriends--Samantha, the sexpot; Charlotte, the sweet naïf; and Miranda, the rigid perfectionist--could not be happier. At least, they couldn't be happier for Carrie. Charlotte still has the unrealized hope of getting pregnant. Samantha is finding a loving, committed relationship more grueling than she could have imagined. Miranda unwittingly lets her own unhappiness--created when Steve admits to cheating on her just once--spoil Carrie's. After a heated encounter with Steve, she happens to spot Mr. Big and tells him he's crazy to get married. She's really only thinking of her own marriage. But her angry remark gets Mr. Big to thinking.
Mr. Big and Carrie buy a magnificent penthouse in Manhattan and they decide to get married. Enid Frick invites Carrie to take pictures for a special edition of Vogue about marriage of women of forty and something years. During the preparation, Carrie raises the guest list from seventy-five to two hundred guests, and a simple wedding dress to a fashionable Vivienne Westwood, intimidating Mr. Big in his third wedding. Meanwhile Miranda has no sex with Steve and he confesses that he had had one night stand with a woman. On the eve of the wedding, in the rehearsal dinner, the upset Miranda tells Mr. Big that marriage ruins everything. On the next day, the scared Mr. Big calls off the wedding leaving Carrie in the church. Carrie feels humiliated and depressed and Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte decide to travel to Mexico with Carrie to the hotel where she was supposed to spend her honeymoon. When Carries returns, she hires the assistant Louise to help her to organize her life. When Miranda discloses what she told to Mr. Big to Carrie in the rehearsal dinner, their friendship is shaken.





This is indeed one of the marvelous movie I ever watched! Love it so much!! No wonder my girls are crazy over the movie. Interesting quotes from the movie : Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours.
Director: Michael Patrick King
Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw)
             Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones)
             Kristin Davis (Charlotte York)
             Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes)
             Chris Noth (Mr.Big/John Preston)

Notes On "Alice"

I loved it.
And I could stop right here.
Put simply, the Burton-Bonham-Depp-Elfman cocktail did it again. It was probably the least "Burtonish" (let's describe the undescribable like that), but the imaginary quality, the costume choices, the colors, the visionary experience, oh those were all there. If you enjoy a good piece of art, go watch it. And if you already have, then tell me what you think.
I'll shut up have a look at the costumes now.

Before wrapping this up, I just wanted to announce that I was contacted by BlogInterviewer.com and have been asked to submit an interview for their site. It's nothing big but it's my fist interview and you can imagine I'm pretty excited.
I'm including the link right here.

Movie Week

So it's not like a person like me can do anything with some degree of measure right? Right. I haven't been to the movies in almost a year, and now I'm going twice in two days...
We watched Avatar today, and though I was put off by the trip most of the populace was on, I'm ultimately satisfied with it. I went into the cinema expecting some huge action movie with great effects, and found myself watching a great movie made by a visionary genius (yes with great effects too). Oh and he managed to throw in a decent storyline...koodos.
But what I am REALLY anticipating is Alice In Wonderland....Tim Burton is my man, and I don't even have to wait to watch it to know I adore it. (Now just you wait....I'll hate it....Murphy's fucking Law I say.)
Thanks for listening to this blabber. And thank you everyone who follows, comments, or just reads this blog, it's nice to know my point of view gets feedback.
Goodnight people.Source URL: https://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/search/label/Movie
