There's probably stuff I should be doing right now, but it's a meme! They're worst than mermaids' songs to me, I just can't say no. Also, I just spilled all the very expensive tube of medicine I bought for my mycosis on the sink, and now I have to buy it again, and I feel really stupid right now.

This has been quite the year for tv series. I've watched a bunch of them, they're truly what anime used to be to me a few years ago.

----

About real life, nothing new happening. I went to the gym, and the funny thing is, while everyone was complaining about the cold, I was standing there in my sleeveless shirt jumping up and down. I was in such a good mood I didn't even feel the cold. :D

I put aside the drumset for a couple of days and started playing Assassin's Creed 2. I spent hours just walking around Florence, picking wallets and jumping on rooftops. The graphics are amazing. Santa Maria del Fiore is unbelievable, and Palazzo della Signoria? Holy frak! It looks so real. And they even put some words from the Tuscany dialect here and there, which make the dialogues even more awesome. XD

It's been a quiet, boring couple of days. It's cloudy, and sometimes it rains too, and with my period and all, I spend an awful lot of time curled up on the couch drinking hot tea. That gave me a good excuse to start a Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes marathon. Watching it after the A2A ending, everything makes so much sense! Plus, I'm falling in love with it all over again. God, I love this show.

What else? My MRI is next tuesday, and my aunt is coming on monday. Since I'm probably allergic to the contrast agent, I'll have to take tons of pills on monday and get a shot early on tuesday, so I'll probably spend all of next week sound asleep. Good news is, I only have to do it once, and then see you all next year. ^^

Day 22 - A song you can't help but air-jam to

Since wedding is the last thing on my mind, and if I do have a wedding it'll be a very very private thing with 5 guests tops, I don't think there'll be any dancing involved. Anyway, I just discovered this amazing song (like, yesterday), so let's say I want the band at my very unlikely wedding to play Bring On The Wonder by Susan Enan.

It's a Life On Mars//Ashes to Ashes video, the best one out there, no kidding, but it has spoilers for the finale, watch it only if you don't care being spoiled, or if you have already seen the final episode.



Tomorrow we're planning to go to the beach (and get the sand through our feet), but I have a bad feeling about the weather. It looks like it's about to rain, and even though the sun is warm, the wind is cold. We'll see. Plus yesterday I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 6 am, no alarm clock involved. And I feel perfectly fine. Weird body is weird.

So, Ashes to Ashes is over. God, that last episode literally blew my mind. The funny thing is, all my theories were proven right, and I still was in shock. I'll watch it a couple of times again, and then start a marathon from the first episode of Life On Mars. This show was just so amazing, so clever, thanks to the writers, the actors, everyone for this wonderful journey!

Tomorrow it's 9 years since my sister died. That means, I'm going to wake up really early, have a shower and go straight to Shion's house where I'll try really hard to forget everything about it. Usually I spend this anniversary in bed listening to sad music, so I guess this means I'm moving forward. I hope.

Fandom news, I watched Ashes to Ashes 3x07, and it was amazing. I have a few theories about the finale, but I'm sure these guys are going to prove me completely wrong like they did with Life On Mars. Even though I thought it wasn't possible, my love for Gene Hunt grew even more with this episode. I'm worried about the finale and yet I can't wait for it, so that I can start a LoM/A2A marathon. It's going to be amazing!

I'm also enjoying this new season of Doctor Who a lot. "Dark Doctor" is always great to see, and I'm loving Matt Smith's Doctor more and more every day. I'm glad this series is going to last longer than the other shows I'm following, because I'm going to miss my weekly episodes so much. Not to mention Lost's finale is approaching too, and that one is going to be epic.

That's a tricky one. Let's see... I'll choose the Animals' House Of The Rising Sun, which reminds me of my childhood bedroom in our old house in Venice. My sister and I had this mixtape, and we used to sit on the floor and listen to this song all day while playing with our legos. We used to call it "the blue jeans song" because those were the only two words we could understand. XD



There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Back to re-watching the True sequence on Ashes to Ashes, then. ^^

Weirdest week ever, and it keeps getting weirder. First, I lost my hospital card. It's a card everyone has in Italy, with your personal code to use in hospitals, the name of your doctor, and everything. And. I. Lost. It. I looked everywhere, every drawer, every bag, and then it was on the manga bookshelf, just above my desk. Took me 6 hours to find it. Then, we had another lightning storm, and it cut off the power again, but this time I was asleep, so I only noticed when I woke up. At least I knew how to fix it, after the other day's accident.

Last but not least, today the phone stopped working, and the internet too. I looked everywhere for the assistance number, called my friends with my mobile, and before they could call me back I finally remembered the number. Then, a nice automatic voice told me there was a problem with the phone line in my neighbourhood and they were working on it. Three hours later, it was fixed.

I don't care if it's the internet, but the idea of being without a phone line, and having to rely on my mobile, scares me a lot. It makes me feel like I'm cut off from the rest of the world, a little island floating in the dark.

Then, I watched the latest episode of Ashes to Ashes, and got *really* traumatised by it. Man, I hope we get a happy ending, but from the looks of it it's going be one really angsty finale. Spent all the episode looking through my fingers, gasping every two seconds, don't know what I'll do when the ending comes. ^^"
