Vivo per lei, qualche volta.

Just discovered quest'artista fantastica. Well I had heard her before with Andrea Bocelli in "Vivo per lei". Giorgia. She seriously needs more fame in the US. She came in second at that Italian Sanremo Music Festival--to Andrea Bocelli. Her voice equals bliss. Hey reader, let's become buddies who both like the same Italian artist.

Italy in less than two weeks. PREPARE PREPARE I'M SLIGHTLY SCARED in an awesome way.

La dolce vita

I just finished watching Fellini's La dolce vita and was a left a a little stunned and baffled in the chair afterwards. It wasn't really all Anita Ekberg prancing around in the Trevi Fountain and an embodiment of the sweet goodness of Italian life. It was very captivating and interesting. I found myself lost a couple times. I read that it was supposed to be a kind of path through the morality of the main character, Marcello. Anyways, here's what I was expected of the movie which turned out to be only fifteen minutes of the three hours. I think jumping in the Trevi Fountain is illegal, but it wouldn't really matter because I think we would still be blocked by busloads of tourists until we reached the water. Still I can't help but loving all this.

La mia vista

Receiving a visa from an Italian consulate means that you're departure is quickly speeding towards you,  correct? I leave for Italia in 17 more days. SEVENTEEN! The excitement is bursting out of this text box.
