Update From A Fake Upper East Sider Here I am again! Ammetto di essermi concesso una (lunga) pausa dal blog questo Dicembre, dato anche che il mio ultimo post risale a venti giorni fa. Il motivo è stato duplice: l'intensissima condizione di zona rossa (periodo affollato di compiti in classe e interrogazioni, ti rimando ai miei post precedenti) in cui ero infognato sino all'inizio delle vacanze, accompagnata da occupazioni e autogestioni varie del mio liceo, ma soprattutto il torpore persistente causatomi da questi primi quattro giorni di vacanza.
Nonostante ciò, non vi ho dimenticato! Bensì, ho alcune novità...
-Nuovi post in arrivo in settimana: "Playlist Invernale" ed "Effetti delle delusioni sulle ragazze del 2011"
- La qualità delle mie foto migliorerà improvvisamente visto il mio dispotico e costante prendere borrowed the camera from my father. (Example at the top of the page)
And now we think of revive the column in this period was a bit 'floated in the air that is the Update from a fake Upper East Sider.
Books1: I think you're already aware of my tendency to read too many books at once, often dispersed with a loss, but today I will speak only of one, because with all the others are still at the beginning ...
1.
Skins the novel - Ali Cronin
I started the book, Skins, directly inspired by the British television series, which recounts the summer of the characters, that is, the few weeks that pass between the third and fourth season. I'm about halfway through the book, and now I have to say that I like. I do not think the author is part of the writers, but has succeeded in each case to chew the story and plot, to digest it and spit out the bones successfully. Of course, the language is the language a little youth 'slang that is used in the series, and who gets to recreate the atmosphere of filthy youth. The advantage is that all characters have their moments of first-person narrative. This greatly enriches the book signficato and emotion, something that could do the show in part, because of its condition show. In the book, you can enter the mind of Effy, you can not read those eyes look so enigmatic that, it includes its torments and desires. One aspect that many reviews that I read was considered a point against was the fact that the plot was slightly unrealistic. I find it a recurring feature of Skins, and one of its strengths. Because although its ultimate purpose is to describe in no uncertain terms the modern world of young people, takes a little 'surprise, wants to move away from the classic teen drama, and for this he needs a bit of the plots' unusual.
The only flaw is perhaps time management Trai characters. In the sense that rather than being a book and a bit of Skins' Effy's book too, because most of the narrative is focused on her. To me, however, did not bother too much because it's a character I adore.
Unfortunately I do not think a translation is provided having regard to the low prevalence of the series in Italy. But if you're a fan of the series and want to start reading in English, I think a good start, given the language a little researched. Long story short ... a good book!
Music1: I discovered a little group that is giving me a lot of surprises. This is Matt & Kim, duo Wikipedia defines Indie Rock (definition that does not see me in complete agreement, but must be '). Of their three albums I know a few songs, but that really deserve consideration, two in particular are my favorites. The first is
Ice Melts, who played the first time gives the impression of overly happy that usually irritates. I won the second round better to grasp the text and rhythm.
Am / Fm Sound is wonderful. I listened for a while, 'but when I heard on the soundtrack of the last episode of Gossip Girl, I'm loving it. In general, all their songs share the same frenetic pace and appreciable holiday. Definitely my group of winter 2010/2011.
My Shopping1 : I will talk about everything I buy, what else is dressed. Will not make Christmas gifts received an overview but ration them slowly in the subsequent "episodes")
ring as a man of Bijou Brigitte. There in your city? It 's a kind Accessorize chain, where I used to make gifts for my friends.
gray imitation leather shoulder bag by Fred Perry, I'm loving the madness. I think my roommate will be out until the summer Saturdays. Also because, shopping on the Internet, we have the advantage that nobody else has the.
If you like, give me some advice on how to better manage the Update! :) We feel
, hottie!
