LOVE IT
I might have to steal that - does it come in a different colour? Been looking for ages for something clear, simple, with reblogging info and maybe comments.
I’m now off to see Revolutionary Road - later, taters.

Bologna, polo «mieloso» italiano
Bologna la Grassa? Storia nota. Alzi la mano chi non ha mai sentito parlare di tortellini, tagliatelle e dintorni… Un mito che resiste da otto secoli: un motivo ci sarà. Bologna la Dolce invece, non tutti la conoscono. La...

After all, Iceland was the first country to have a Parliament - respect. Thing is, we’ll know things really have changed when it won’t even be necessary to point out that she’s the first openly gay world leader, or that Obama is the first African-American President of the USA.

Billy Joel - “Uptown Girl” (1983)
Billy was dating famous supermodels at the time (first Elle McPherson, about whom the song is about, then Christie Brinkley, who appears in the video and later became his wife) and that surely was a hell of an inspiration for the “working class guy trying to woo the rich unattainable girl” theme of the song.

“If Elvis Presley made a generation want to play rock’n’roll, Buddy Holly showed us how. Seen from this side of the Atlantic, the lip-curling confidence of Presley’s smouldering sexuality made the Memphis truck driver seem shrouded in delicious mystery, a being from another universe. There was no mystery about Holly. He looked and sounded like an unpretentious kid. The...

President Obama is starting to look more and more like President Bartlett. Ok, probably just in my head. But after reading this article I can´t stop picturing C.J., Toby, Josh, Sam and Leo in the Oval Office on a Saturday morning and Jed Bartlett in jeans and a sweater.
In my head too, quatsch!
