*rises from the grave Dracula-style* I'M BACK!
Nobody here probably even had the time to notice, but my phoneline has been cut since early yesterday morning. No telephone, no internet, just my trusty old cellphone whose battery is starting to give up. Plus the cold mutated into a stupid flu, while outside the days are sunny and beautiful. I feel like the gods are mocking me. Luckly an hour ago a technician from the phone company came by and fixed it. Apparently, the workers on the other side of the road had cut the wrong wire. Thank you very much. So now I still have the flu, still have to keep inside, but at least I can call my aunt to complain about the unfairness of being sick on a beautiful day! And get lost on wikipedia, I guess. :D
I also just finished reading the latest Percy Jackson book, Heroes of Olympus - House of Hades. It was bloody amazing. They just keep getting better and better. I cried, I laughed, I screamed at the book, I fist-bumped the air, I had a coughing fit. It was awesome. *___________* Plus, representation YAY! Di immortales, I love this series so much. I grew up on bread and greek myths, I did classical studies since the tender age of ten, I graduated in Archaeology, those books are everything I love with cream and a cherry on top! ♥
The only flaw I can find is that nothing can remove the horrific memory of that horrible movie, except maybe a smoldering iron to the brain. Just the thought of that clusterfuck makes me want to break something. And since they just made a second one I'm guessing some people even like them and spend money on them! The horror! *crawls back on her pile of Percy Jackson books, hissing like a disgruntled dragon*

A quanto pare gli operai che stanno lavorando giù in strada hanno tagliato il cavo sbagliato. Pensa te!

XDDD Ora che lo sto finalmente facendo dubito che demorderà dalla sua idea di vederli a tutti i costi... sono davvero così terribili? XD

Grover in realtà non mi è dispiaciuto più di tanto... il colpo al cuore è stato Annabeth, piuttosto. E' odiosa ma di un odioso che non si può nemmeno esprimere! ;_;
Ad ogni modo, avevo a fianco a me Giuliano che - non avendo letto i libri - non ha notato grandi pecche oltre al fatto che le età fossero inadatte e che l'intero film non fosse niente di particolarmente originale. Come a dire: la trama fila, ma potevo anche farne a meno.

But still, it would be great if I woke up tomorrow and I could breathe like a normal human being.
