MET YESTERDAY

met on 14 march

These are Carlo, Pope Ratzinger and Rollo, at their new house, Castelmella

Dinner at Carlo and Rollo's new house.

We spent part of the night talking about Italian integration policies for immigrants, the other part on chatroulette.

What is chatroulette.com? Let's ask Wikipedia..

..Chatroulette is a website that pairs random strangers for webcam-based conversations. Visitors to the website randomly begin an online chat with another visitor. At any point, either user may leave the current chat by initiating another random connection.

On chatroulette I acted as a bait: I started the conversation (when people see a girl they stop and start talking to her) and at a certain point I asked "do you wanna see sth interesting?" obviously everybody answered "yes" - there arrived my friends showing their asses in the cam.

We laughed so much! And people too!

I love totally stupid idiot jokes.

La Blanche Alchimie

I wanted to go to La Casa 139, I checked the program on their website and I found this concert: La Blanche Alchimie.

Payed 5€, drank one beer, watched the end of the football match Manchester-Milan and then I really enjoyed the concert.

Not the best band I've ever heard, not the best concert I've ever seen.

But I enjoyed the atmosphere, the sound and her voice.

To be listened when you feel hearts-ease.

FUNDRAISING FOR ART PROJECTS

Lovely atmosphere, nice and less nice ideas, good food that's what I found Sunday morning thanks to Granaio's brunch at Casa Strasse.

Granaio is a project consisting of a monthly brunch, where artists present their ideas and people decide who to vote for.

You pay ten euros, Granaio covers all the expenses for food and gives the remaining to the most voted idea.

Who won this first edition? boîte the project I also voted for.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO

Sunflowers - Paul Cantelon (Everything is illuminated OST)

Ivan is the Skype king. You can find him everyday in Aula Fumo talking via Skype with his friends.

He is from Kazahstan and yesterday I took a look at some pictures from his country. I never imagined how Kazahstan could look like.

I hence invented a (stupid but interesting) game: think about a country you never thought about and imagine its colors, its landscapes. Go on flickr and see how it really looks like. It is always sooo different from how you imagined it!

met on 11 january

This is Yigit, his application picture for Frankie Morello, Facebook

Yigit, my turkish classmate, had a smart wonderful idea.

He decided to apply for an internship at Frankie Morello, but how did he do that?

His application is maybe the best one I have ever seen.

He created a group on Facebook "Yigit Turhan merita di essere il nuovo stagista da Frankie Morello" and there he posted photos in the form of comic strips in which he presents himself and his CV in a really unusual and funny way.

JOIN THE GROUP! SUPPORT HIM!

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT..
