and the sky was made of amethyst...

Ciao a tutti!

Long time, no update...but I have been away from Thursday to Saturday and the rest of the weekend I have been just as lazy as usually...and now Im back to the usual reading and doing nothing - thing...

But now some info on my weekend...Francesco and me drove to Rimini (a horrible drive since it was raining, see the pics) to visit a friend called Arianna. She works in a shop called Skinwear and is an incredible good tattooer. We had an appointment on Thursday but unfortunately, she felt sick and we had to postpone it to the day after. So on Friday, I spent 5 hours on a table with Arianna inking my right arm...the first 4 hours I was fine but the last hour I struggled a bit since it started to hurt pretty much. In the end, Im proud I sat it out and here you can see the beautiful result....

I really have to recommend her and her studio because her work is perfect, clean and clear and the studio is probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. There are so many people with bad tattoos, it's a shame!!! You really should think twice before getting one since it will be there forever!!
I wanna thank Arianna and her team for being so nice and cute and professional and great and and and!!!!
(...I hope my mum doesn't read my page because I want to surprise her *g* She was the model for the tattooo!!)
Here the link to Miss Arianna and her studio if you wanna see more:

After the tattooing session, I took a train to Bologna and met Francesco there because he had been to Verona while I was suffering in Rimini. In Bologna, we met our friends from Forty Winks and went to a club called Covo where Sandro, the band's singer, is working. We had some drinks but I was so tired from tattooing that we went to bed soon.
The next day, we went to a famous restaurant called Trattoria da Vito...it's famous but not good, they told me...famous because sometimes well-known people like Italian singers go there....the food was pretty cheap and I liked it a lot!!!
Then, we hit the road back to Rome and there we went to a show called Rock your weekend with To Kill, Dufresne and Your Hero. Im not into either of these bands but it has been organised by some friends....It was not too bad...
But the real fun came later when we went to the Circolo degli Artisti to keep the party going. There, Luca, our friend, tried to convince the Dj to play "some real music"...he is djing himself and went a bit crazy...I had to laugh so much....and they also went crazy about taking pictures...here you can see some of them....


However, now Im back to normality....reading a new Hunter S. Thompson book for my thesis called Generation of Swine...it is really hilarious!!! And another one called The American Dream - A short history of an idea that shaped a nation by Jim Cullen which, as the title already explains, describes the origins of the American Dream from the arrival of the first settlers on the shore of the "promised land" to various American Dreams that nowadays constitute an important part of the American identity....ah Im getting too much into my thesis now....but Im professional after all...

So leave me a comment if you feel like....Im a bit weird today, so I dont feel like writing so much....Music of the moment: Hole - Live through this, Queens of the Stone Age - all albums
