Fully Empty

Exams never end? False! I finished my exams on July 9th and I’m ready to go to Brown University in October. Yes, I’m excited.
But.
But once you’re done with your duty and you should be light and happy like fresh air, that’s the time when deep feelings come out. Life is not only about your [...]

LaChapelle’s Books

I’m an Andy Warhol fan and a photography hobbyist. Add to these facts the consideration that I love Dalì and would really like to see a revival of baroque and rococo mixed with pop culture and you’ll understand why I’d love to get David Lachapelle’s Heaven to Hell. Yes, I’d like Artists and Prostitutes too, [...]

Write the way you eat

I announced it before, more than one and half year ago, but now it’s real: my blog becomes bilingual: English and Italian (no, I’m not going to translate every post in both languages: it only means that I will seldom post in Italian).
For you, English readers, you can subscribe to the English category RSS feed.
I [...]

Lost twin found!

I found my lost twin. It’s Seth Rogen. Thanks goes to Fontzy for having pointed this out to me and for the image below. Oh gosh, I should now watch all Seth’s movies! =)

But yesterday I had my beard and hair cut…

Some updates

My thesis will be on data mining (more details in the near future).

I had a great night tonight, thanks to two friends. You can see friends seldom, but if they are friends, it’s like you lived together everyday.
Am I forgetting $I_WON’T_TELL_YOU_WHAT_OR_WHO ? Perhaps. This is not a good move in the long run.

This is busy.

Yes. My actual situation can surely be an example of what busy is.
I’m taking four courses this trimester. This is two courses above the average for my Master course.
One of them has a laboratory. Two of them have projects to work on in groups.
I’m reading seminal papers on Data Mining (frequent itemsets in transactions) and [...]

Now tell me…

…why on Earth I should wake up and think about you ?
You don’t deserve it and I should stop doing so.

Fortune Cookie

My fortune cookie on FaceBook: “Is this really a productive use of your time?”
Well, probably not, and both in a “local” and in a general sense.
P.S. Engineers should note the use of “local”.

Friends

Today I made a friend sad and disappointed. I’m sorry for that and really feel guilty. Sorry, again, but it was totally unexpected.
More on the “Friends” side of life: Thanks to flevour for his help. I owe you a beer, mate.

Is my life so full to make me feel so empty?
“Drops of blood drip from [...]

Now Reading…

Jorge Luis Borges, “La Biblioteca Inglese - Lezioni sulla Letteratura” (An English translation doesn’t seem to exist. The original title is “Borges profesor. Curso de Literatura Inglesa de la Universidad de Buenos Aires” and is edited by Martín Arias y Martín Hadis). It contains the lessons from the English Literature course that Borges taught in [...]
