Italian + contests + 5 questions meme

[gothikmaus]

After months of not being inspired, here's the latest entry I wrote in my Italian blog:

Tu quoque, Carolina?

I also found a couple of interesting writing and photography contests. And, by the way, two people I know (they're friends of a friend's) won a music contest! We used to play in their recording studio and my friend DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME, I had to go and find out by chance! Some punishment is in order.

They're called Serpenti and here's their MySpace page - the winning song is "Sinuoso Vortice":

Also, I'll be a sheep: ask me five (or less, or more) questions and I'll try to answer them. Just don't ask about my sex life, because at the time it is quite non-existent.

I'll live, as long as it doesn't have as many weird exceptions as French, which... is probably impossible :D Seriously, I'm really excited about Italian. I would've taken it this semester if I hadn't gotten into English and American Literature... man, Italian! The language of Dante and... Hannibal Lecter. And Rome. Oh, Rome! Man, I can't wait :D

Also, I don't need to call you weird - I'm not one for repeating facts over and over again :D

I don't know about French, but I've read somewhere Italian is the second most difficult language to learn, the first being, of course, Chinese. But I'm sure you'll manage. ;)

And, Hannibal Lecter? I've seen Silence of the Lambs, but I must've missed something...

oh yes, Hannibal Lecter speaks beautiful Tuscan, and can quote Dante like nobody else, and managed to impress the Florence Studiolo (however, I'm not sure if that particular fine arts commission exists in reality) - though I'm sure they somehow managed to leave that out of the 'Hannibal' movie. I'm not a big fan of the movies, but the books are brilliant, and 'Hannibal' is one of the books I keep rereading. I'm sort of a Lecter fangirl, because he's just so perfect and intellectual and has amazing taste and is super intelligent and only has this minor drawback of being a cannibal.

But, you know, everybody has flaws.
