Politics, holidays and fanfic

Today's the 60th anniversary of the Italian Republic. 60 years ago the Italian people (and for the first time women could vote too) decided they wanted a republic instead of a monarchy and elected the politicians that would write our Constitution. The same Constitution that a certain Silvio Berlusconi called "Bolshevik". The same Silvio Berlusconi that says the left-wing coalition shouldn't be allowed to govern our country because, well, they're Communist! They're evil! They eat children! Someone should remind him that two of the parties of his coalition were neo-fascist parties. But it would be a waste of time anyway.

But let's talk about something more interesting! My Bela CD arrived on Wednesday! YAY! I'd like to know who the fuck invented that damn CD package though, it took me forever to open it. I'd read it was difficult to open, but man, it was ridiculous. It's very simple once you get rid of the inner plastic film, but I was afraid of breaking it at first (I'm always afraid of breaking things), so I tinkered around for a while, then I just used the Alexander the Great method. And it worked. :P

I also got the documents for my course in Berlin, I booked the apartment and bought the plane tickets. Now I only need to buy the concert tickets. Oh, Bela... And I found out the venue in Hamburg is in the red-light district. o_O

Aaand last but not least... A ficlet! It's a little present for eryka_59, my way of saying thank you for sending me those videos. I wanted to write something both romantic and angsty, but my muse wasn't in the mood for angst, so it's just romance. I hope you'll like it anyway. :)
