Pictures!

I was complaining I don't have anything interesting to post the other day, then yesterday my parents decided to visit the Certosa di Pavia, a monastery which is about an hour away from Milan. And while we were coming back we saw there was a wildlife park nearby and since it was still quite early we went there too. It took us a bit to find it but it was worth it. One of the first things we saw was an area with butterlies from the rainforest and I swear I was afraid of them! I've never seen butterflies as big as those, they looked like bats! I wanted to take pictures but they kept flying around, so I did a little video, but you can't really see their size from that.

Of course I took a lot of photos, because I'm still experimenting with my camera (yeah, I know I got it a year ago, shut up) and I uploaded some of them.

Also, a few days ago my mother made a yummy ricotta and blackberry semifreddo and I wanted to share.

( Yum! )

And a meme I found in scribbulus_ink's journal.

1. Post a list of 10 books/movies/TV shows that you've had a fannish love of at some time in your life.
2. Have your friends guess your favorite character from each one.
3. You can cross out the show/movie/book and put the character when someone guesses.

Of course I added a couple of bands as well. ;) In no particular order.

1) The Cure - Simon Gallup, guessed by rosenblut. I also found Perry Bamonte very sweet (Robert, you bastard, why did you kick him out? >:0 ), but what can I say, I have a thing for bad guys. ;) Plus, what would The Cure sound like without Simon's bass?

2) Die Ärzte - Bela, guessed by schwimmerin. Even if Farin is a very, very close second

3) Harry Potter - Snape, guessed by schwimmerin and rosenblut. He's a bastard, but I love outcasts, dark and mysterious characters who don't have to be nice at all costs.

4) Good Omens - Crowley, guessed by rosenblut. Such an adorable demon.

5) Lupin the Third - Jigen, guessed by rosenblut. Another mysterious character, a lone wolf who doesn't speak much.

6) Star Trek: The Next Generation - Data, guessed by schwimmerin. He's so adorable and nerdy. Android love!

7) Daria

8) Sailor Moon - Sailor Mars, guessed by vodkasnowqueen. A beautiful miko with two crows as pets (Phobos and Deimos, for those of you interested in astronomy ^_^). What's not to love? And come on, we're both stubborn Arieses. ;)

9) Saiyuki - Hakkai, guessed by rosenblut. Mysterious past: check. Not very talkative: check. Something dark behind the nice façade: check. Do you see a pattern here? ;)

10) Gokinjo Monogatari (Neighbourhood Story)

11) Nip/Tuck

12) House


Oops, two too many. :P
