<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lakerslogo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-384" title="LakersLogo" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lakerslogo.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="125" /></a> Wow&#8230; good rainy morning everyone.</p>
<p>Surfacing from another awaken night to catch Lakers on the easiest roll ever (the <strong>Nets</strong> TRULY don&#8217;t resemble a pro team&#8230; I won&#8217;t waste words on the game cos it was so useless Kobe fouled 5 times just to allow himself two quarters bench time&#8230; I&#8217;m serious!), I am quietly waiting for tab works here at lab and while I&#8217;m on it, I update the blog.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s LOTS!!!</p>
<p>From various fields.</p>
<p>First of all, Karim&#8217;s will be back here on thursday and I cannot wait. I really am in need of&#8230; him. Past Friday at disco it was somehow strange to turn off offers from at least one VERY cute guy (out of 17 who attempted catchin my interest&#8230; I also got offerings from two women, which is always flattering to me, I have to admit&#8230;) not cos it requested me strenght (I&#8217;m such a good girl now, you know&#8230;) but just cause I would have really liked some sheet gym. I just hate when I am not allowed it. So Karim better be back and provide his serious (and totally awesomely rated) effort before I get sick about it.</p>
<p>Bitch? Not really. Those who don&#8217;t love sex the way I do are simply wrong. Or they just hadn&#8217;t any good one in their lives, which is sad.</p>
<p>On the weekend we have stayed quietly at houses, checkin up with the Creek, watchin sports, playing poker and just relaxing.</p>
<p>We need that and I do especially need that cos next weekend is gonna be crazy.</p>
<p>Karim gets back on Thursday: on Friday as soon as work ends (5 pm) we will ride furiously over Turin to get to see <a href="http://www.twitter.com/muse" target="_blank">MUSE</a> live!!!! At the moment I am just so totally in love (even more than I have always been with them) with their current single, &#8220;<em>Undisclosed Desires</em>&#8220;. Karim says it&#8217;s MY song to his soul. He loves it a lot and keeps whisperin that words and melody to me, which I so adore.</p>
<p>Take a look and open ears to goodness <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/R8OOWcsFj0U&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/R8OOWcsFj0U&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Now to me that&#8217;s ART. Art in music.</p>
<p>Why do I say that?</p>
<p>Cos&#8230; <a href="http://www.twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">Divine Adam</a> yesterday was particularly verbose about these kind of related stuff. They&#8217;re back to Vevey (poor angel, it&#8217;s gonna be rainy and cold just like here.. just worse&#8230; but this time he brought even more crew to back him up preventing him from homesickness, I guess) and as it always happens when he has to chase boredom away, he gets particularly fond of twitter and starts to speak a lot. I LOVE that. His views on things are always challenging to me.</p>
<p>So yesterday he stated that to him music is not &#8211; necessarily &#8211; art. He went on defining better that he feels uncomfortable with musicians claiming their artistry too openly. And that people deify musicians too much.</p>
<p>While I can agree that lots of selfproclaimed artistry in music is pure garbage,  I also disagree about the whole of it NOT being art. He actually surely gives musicians the artist status. Just that he&#8217;s VERY selective about that (Prince surely gets his props up). As always he is a peculiar combination of humble and fighting attitude that always surprises me. Just like when he was able to directly address <a href="http://twitter.com/mrmailbox" target="_blank">Noah</a> who quoted the famous line &#8220;<a href="http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/dorgray/preface.htm" target="_blank">all art is quite useless</a>&#8221; to Dorian Gray&#8217;s preface. You know how I adore Oscar Wilde. And actually, that preface explains well what I feel about art. If Adam has that in mind guessing about arts and their value, we&#8217;re not really far away about concept of artistry.</p>
<p>Sure that we are not.</p>
<div id="attachment_386" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 330px"><a href="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/slash-studio.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-386" title="52752699KW037_Heaven" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/slash-studio.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="214" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Slash</p></div>
<p>Out of the arty debate, another couple of twitters in the weekend made me remember a rumour a dear &#8220;metal lover&#8221; friend told me about way back in September. He was telling me he heard that Adam would have been featured on the new <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_&#38;_Friends#cite_note-5" target="_blank">Slash&#8217;s solo album</a>. I remember I was like &#8220;yeah, sure&#8230;&#8221; and just erased that info cos I thought he was kidding me (you know.. metal fans&#8230; pop rock music&#8230; they truly don&#8217;t show appreciation often about their mixing).</p>
<p>WRONG.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s happening for real, and I post <a href="http://www.stringmetal.com/judgementday/2009/08/09/recording-for-slash/" target="_blank">this reference</a> about the creation of the song cos that&#8217;s cute.</p>
<p>I mean&#8230; not that I am really shocked after <strong>Slash</strong> got in <strong>Fergie</strong> as well in his record and decided to land his guitar to <strong>Rihanna</strong>&#8217;s garbage album, but still, I will love to have another album fullfilled with guests (there&#8217;s <a href="http://www.twitter.com/chriscornell" target="_blank">Chris Cornell</a>&#8230; it&#8217;s AWESOME!), and he&#8217;s undoubtedly a genius guitar player. Then anything Adam sings is like perfect with me so&#8230; roll on with the Amazon order (or I might even buy it physically, being in LA by March).</p>
<p>Actually a metal collaboration was lacking from <strong>Adam</strong>&#8217;s resume with musical genres so this is a great fill in. Can&#8217;t wait to hear that for sure.</p>
<p>But out of doubts, the record that I truly now wanna hear is <a href="http://www.twitter.com/maroon5" target="_blank">M5</a> next one. I really can&#8217;t wait much longer. I&#8217;m gonna love 2010.</p>
<p>On the incoming crazy Friday, I forgot to add that after the Muse&#8217;s gig we will remain in Turin. We have room booked, and we won&#8217;t sleep for 2 reasons: one you guess it (and that&#8217;s CORRECT, 110%) while the other is that is again NBA Lakers watch against Miami. No way we will miss it. Yesterday Karim didn&#8217;t really see the game cos he was guesting diplomathic people at his parental house, but surely he won&#8217;t miss the Heat (or the Hornets, on Tuesday).</p>
<p>So&#8230; this is my schedule.</p>
<p>Love my life <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Have all a great start of the week.</p>

<p>Welcome to Laker Land: where amazing happens <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Don&#8217;t thinmk I need to say much more than this, just look at these two sweet gems by King Kobe and Flying Dunk Dude Shannon Brown <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Yes, I woke up again in thecore of the night to catch Lakers victory against OKH Thunders: it was fun and entertaining.</p>
<p>The weekend has been just fabulous. Just Karim and I on sat and sunday heading to Mantova. On Friday we went dancing at Como Lake and at a certain point we disappeared in the Vip bathroom cos&#8230; we needed something dangerously amazing. And damn, that was SO amazing.</p>
<p>Karim leaves to Malpensa and heads to San Francisco in 5 hours. I will be missing him for more than a week, and it&#8217;s gonna be painful. Really. I laugh at myself acknowledging this. Oh, yes&#8230; the girl who used to never consider solitude, cos she was happy to be free and having whomever she&#8217;d like to, now knows she wills uffer as hell, cos no matter the male offerings at her (I have already received about 10&#8230;) she will stay struck to her word given.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll stay faithful. He deserves it so much.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t of course follow Karim for Thanksgiving cos if I want to use the Las Vegas tickets, I can&#8217;t claim spare days.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/maroon5" target="_blank">Sweet Babies</a> have wrapped up the warmening tour just this night. I miss to see them so badly. But today the grey sky and my mood can&#8217;t think of anything more grieving than see my Special K. leave and not coming back till December will be already in.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m in love.  I think to feel this kind of pain is a sweet kind-of testify for it. So in the end&#8230; it&#8217;s as fair as it goes <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Back at lab duties <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  CU <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This very morning doc came in and visited me. Chicken pox is healing well, I have no freakin scars so far (Karim has explored me well on that&#8230;) and although I keep being infectious I&#8217;m on my way to be perfectly fine <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I won&#8217;t probably go in San Francisco along Karim for thanxgiving for I might be still with some blisters, and moreover due to the fact if I wanna have a hope to get in Las Vegas for New Years Eve (and <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Maroon5 gig </span></strong>in there at Pearl Theathre inside Palms hotel) I can&#8217;t claim further holidays days till 29th of December. There you go. Karim says it&#8217;s okay. I wonder what will his parents think on that but anyway thanxgiving is an American holiday and ehy!&#8230; I&#8217;m Italian. I don&#8217;t have to attend forcedly (no, okay, this sounds bad and it&#8217;s not meant to.. it&#8217;s just that is preferable for a long series of reasons that I stay quiet here in Italy. Though I&#8217;ll miss the event. I know I will. And&#8230; I will miss Karim a LOT.)</p>
<p>Today the only Wii tournament will be for me and Karim. I&#8217;m getting used to <a href="http://twitpic.com/ozflj" target="_blank">Band Hero </a>well, and I always love to detail how Adam&#8217;s avatar has got all of his arm sleeve detailed on him so greatly <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> . I would also love to catch Fox Crime&#8217;s &#8220;<strong>Il Mostro di Firenze</strong>&#8220;. I&#8217;m not up for tv, but some tv might be good sometimes.</p>
<p>Talkin about babies, I have to share this they did through their pages. It&#8217;s a Green Oriented thing so you ALL should just learn how to be like they (and WE) are. It&#8217;s for your own interest, after all.</p>
<p>So&#8230; take a look at <a href="http://www.reverb.org/project/M5/" target="_blank">Reverb</a>, and grow a green conscience.  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I LOVE the video btw <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Today again babies are playing but yesterday <a href="http://www.twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">Adam</a> enjoyed NY city life (and not so erm&#8230; shareable food tastes, even though it seems <a href="http://www.twitter.com/JRCarmichael" target="_blank">Jesse</a> and lots of his friends share that fondness for tuna wasabi pizza&#8230; Eww!) while <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jamesbvalentine" target="_blank">James</a> had a close encounter with a great docu movie that I hope comes to Italy uncut and faithful, called &#8220;Collapse&#8221;.</p>
<div id="attachment_363" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-363" title="Chelsea Pier Bowling house" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/chelsea-pier-bowling-house.jpg?w=300" alt="Chelsea Pier Bowling house" width="300" height="180" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Chelsea Pier at 300 New York Bowling alley.</p></div>
<p>At night Divine A. allegedly went to a friends&#8217; night out including <strong>Bowling</strong>. And of course girls (I decode that from &#8220;Babies&#8221;. And everybody knows I&#8217;m right there). When in NY Karim and I enjoyed with his West Village friends a great place called <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Chelsea Pier</span></strong>: not only bowling but lots of courts and shops and restaurant too. New York has just so much in it. Too bad <a href="http://www.twitter.com/maroon5" target="_blank">Maroon5</a> decided to stay over there (there are SEVERAL dates around the area, included tonight&#8217;s one in Connecticut, which happens to be in a County that borders New York neighborhood, so it&#8217;s a string of days they are still based in New York, allegedly at the awesome Standard Hotel, one of the most designed gems in Manhattan. With Karim we&#8217;ve been at the Boom Boom Room and it was TERRIFIC) weeks later than I was there. Imagine the awesomeness of crossing paths casually! Oh, gosh. Though maybe better not. I might have been contagious for any of them. Doomed me if I had EVER caused ANY trouble to my beloved angels.</p>
<p>Finally, I post the November collage. It includes the first two Lakers games of the season Adam was able to attend at Staples being over LA, a celebration retrodated of Halloween (I have always LOVED that pic!) of Adam&#8217;s 2007 party at his house (the one of this year, you know, was awesome too, but until pics of him surface &#8211; don&#8217;t care about Katy Perry or Adam Lambert there or anyone of the guests who attended.. I just want HIS pics! &#8211; can&#8217;t post them&#8230;), a shot of the guys leaving on private plane for what should have been MY first gig &#8211; Rochester &#8211; and OMG&#8230; thanx to my friend <a href="http://www.twitter.com/terryrosa" target="_blank">Teresa</a>, who shared them over Facebook, two AWESOME shots of kid Prince Adam as well. Okay. Now you know why yesterday at a certain point I blanked on the phone. It was due to OF COURSE one of those two kids pics of him. I let you guess which one.</p>
<p>*swoooooons* <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<div id="attachment_364" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-364" title="CollageNov09_01" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/collagenov09_01.jpg" alt="CollageNov09_01" width="480" height="445" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Collage November 2009</p></div>
<p>Now I better back to a GIGANTIC work on the pics of New york. Damn me, I moved more than 500 of them from the Roll Camera memory of the iPhone to an app I have on there called &#8220;Albums&#8221;. Great&#8230; they downsized the pics and the file is unreacheable for saving on Harddrive of pc. So I have to send all of them to a secret online host and then save all of them again (and downsized, DAMN!) on pc.</p>
<p>It will request two more days.</p>
<p>But Karim at least took some in high res and didn&#8217;t remove them from the roll. And I still have two hours and half of film roll. So&#8230; it&#8217;s pretty okay.</p>
<p>Dumb Miss Z. salutes you <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<description><![CDATA[&#8230; what is, in James and Tommy&#8217;s words, &#8220;best show&#8221; on the current Back To Sc]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8230; what is, in <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jamesbvalentine" target="_blank">James</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/TommyKing">Tommy</a>&#8217;s words, &#8220;best show&#8221; on the current Back To School M5 tour.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s start with what makes me still bleed, though on another side I&#8217;m happy Charisse was at those gigs, cos this means I&#8217;m gonna have PRIMARY pictures, private and VERY close up, soon, to add to my private collection of lovely memorabilia. I am not up for digital you know. I want REAL pictures. Possibly framed. Possibly signed (and for the second show she brought the ones already printed from Rochester, so it MAY be&#8212; *winks*&#8212; that she got the signs on those at the Cornell one <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  YES!!! Here it goes my thanksgiving gift <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p>I learnt just two days before it took place that my first show should have been Rochester University one:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-351" title="Rochester University" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rochester-university.jpg?w=300" alt="Rochester University" width="300" height="172" /> The day before Maroon5 arrival in New York state, to play there,  Prince <a href="http://www.twitter.com/adamlevine">Adam </a>tweeted something obscure and negative, about something being REALLY wrong. Since the Oralndo piece seemed to have gone all fine, I was really wondering at his bitterly set and someway sad words. Well the day after, just for the gig, Charisse tweeted this &#8220;OMG zaira you couldn&#8217;t believe!!!Swapping crazy returnofsaturnz&#8221;. I thought she was blanking but shorter later <a href="http://www.twitter.com/JRCarmichael" target="_blank">Jesse </a>unveiled the mystery. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Matt</span> had some family trouble which allegedly have forced him to withdraw for a while from being on the road (the usual <em>Maroon5</em> drummer curse? Let&#8217;s just hope all will be solved for the quickest better for sweet Matt&#8230; lotta love man!) and so in <strong>24 freakin hours sweet babies had to hire a fill-in drummer. </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-353" title="AdrianYoung" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/adrianyoung.jpg" alt="Adrian Young of No Doubt" width="120" height="213" />The replecement, and the thing REALLY makes me go all WOOOHOOOO, is none else than <strong>No Doubt&#8217;s Adrian Young</strong>. Holy shizzzzzz!!!! I went gobsmacked by that. Everyone knows how much I love No Doubt and Gwen Stefani so to learn in 24 hours he flew coastside and joined my babies was awesome. More than that&#8230; no reharsing almost so he MUST have known LOTS of their music to fill that quickly in.</p>
<p>Result for the gig: &#8220;EPIC&#8221; in <a href="http://www.twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">Divine Adam&#8217;s </a>words. I can bet that!!!</p>
<p>You wonder if I am pissed I missed that? SURE. But gotta live with it don&#8217;t I?</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-352" title="CornellUniversity Itacha NewYork" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cornelluniversity-itacha-newyork.jpg?w=300" alt="CornellUniversity Itacha NewYork" width="300" height="252" />Second gig of mine should have been yesterday&#8217;s Cornell University (the one in between those two has been Queens one.. I would have loved to be there as well cos all NY friends of the guys were there, including <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ALECKSU">Alex Greenwald</a>, and you know that I have sort of an half-crush on him since Phantom Planet times&#8230;). Cornell University is Charisse&#8217;s one. She&#8217;s mastering Law, and I was looking forward to stay over there cos it&#8217;s classy Ivy League and I just love the place for the way it looks.</p>
<p>As you all learnt from this post start, seems like the gig was awesome. Charisse wrote me a completely out of mind short mail reading all of her excitement up as soon as it ended. </p>
<p>I just CAN&#8217;T WAIT to catch them live again. </p>
<p>And apparently I might have a GOLDEN chance on <span style="text-decoration:underline;">New Years Eve</span>.</p>
<p>From tittle ad tattle seems that <em>Maroon5</em> will be the musical guest shows at <strong>Palms in Las Vegas</strong> playing at the LOVELY <strong>Pearl Teather</strong> there (to make you understand: last year&#8217;s show was Mariah Carey&#8230;)<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-354" title="PearlTheather_1" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pearltheather_1.jpg" alt="Pearl Theather at Las Vegas Palms hotel" width="168" height="183" /></p>
<p>That could just be most awesome of dreams. I already checked: Palms availability of suites is still in.</p>
<div id="attachment_355" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 254px"><img class="size-full wp-image-355" title="Palms-Las-Vegas" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/palms-las-vegas.jpg" alt="Palms-Las-Vegas" width="244" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Palms Hotel in Las Vegas</p></div>
<p>Tickets for the Pearl thing aren&#8217;t on sale yet AND the place holds 2500 people so I just need to be ready for the superpass whatever.</p>
<p>My only major trouble might be working duties. Being sick still, and havin taken already almost all of my holiday days up for the year, it&#8217;s not that granted I can get 31 and 30 and probably 29 up from work in December. And I need that cos the flight to Vegas requests two planes. I hope to arrange that cos to witness babies as New Year sneaks in would just be PURE PERFECTION. Cross fingers for me right? BY any means I&#8217;ll buy tickets. Then we&#8217;ll see.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-356" title="58867076" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/av_091108hornets.jpg" alt="Dj at rebounding" width="215" height="170" />On the sporty side, <strong>Milan</strong> and <strong>Lakers</strong> are still greatly managing all stuff. Lakers yesterday won again, no matter the second game in a row without both Pau and Bynum. WOW. I just saw the recorded highlights from the night (I couldn&#8217;t certainly wake up with the fever in the middle of the night you know) and really rooted in for DJ Mbenga.I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m writing this, but guy is like a mascotte <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I hope though Pau and Bynum can stick in back as soon as possible cos we need them especially against the Nuggets.</p>
<p>Oh&#8230; if you wonder I am at my parental home still. Mum won&#8217;t let me go before I&#8217;m fully okay. So I am like a pampered queen, even more than usual. My collegues at work sent me flowers <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Awww they&#8217;re cute <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>My friends miss me and I think that is also cos by now I am the only one having<strong> Band Hero</strong> (Karim bought me that in USA still) and they can&#8217;t wait to play it (kidding, I know they just love me..). I wish I could set up a Wii night already on thursday but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s gonna happen.</p>
<p>Karim is the only coming. He comes again tonight. It&#8217;s fun cos mum won&#8217;t let him have a sleep over and so when he comes he gets to sleep in my half house on the other side of teh backyard here <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  That makes me feel like a 14 years old <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  But mum has her ideas, though she knows Karim and especially my own ways to live sexuality up, and she&#8217;s approving what we do and how we do that.</p>
<p>Not that I can have any until all spots and crusts haven&#8217;t fully disappeared but&#8230; you get the picture. She knows about that and has no trouble with that. Just that she doesn&#8217;t like to hear me scream while under her same roof I guess. I can live with that. I understand that. I also can&#8217;t cope with the idea of listening to my parents making out or make it, you know. I get that <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyway I miss to have sex with Karim A LOT. I can&#8217;t wait to be safely allowed to have him. I think I&#8217;m gonna kill him by then <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I bet he can&#8217;t wait <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So dear&#8230; have you all a wonderful wonderful time these days. I am off to some new nap time so I can rest better. Fever is just slightly above the average. I am on my road to be okay again (I have lost a bit too much of weight, though. Don&#8217;t like to be THIS skinny. But appetite will do me good later <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>CU&#8230; bye bye!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Maroon 5 Album Trailer #3!</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/VzXdlpYrWh4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/VzXdlpYrWh4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>So&#8230; I have something to say. Though it will result quick, harsh, not understandeable to majority, and scatterly chaotic.</p>
<p>Before all goes insane, I let you see the awesome third trailer the beloveds graced us with yesterday just before getting into their second gig in Lousville, KY.</p>
<p>Today to be honest there is also another YouTube graceful piece, from the first gig actually,  with the live rendition of Last Chance. But I can&#8217;t post it. I can&#8217;t even load it and listen to it. Cos&#8230; you know&#8230; I have got FRICKIN CHICKEN POX, right after Halloween and after what had been till then most amazing time of my life in New York City and so&#8230;</p>
<p>NO MORE COLLEGE GIGS.</p>
<p>No way I can listen to Last Chance live myself.</p>
<p>No way I can win agaisnt James at tennis contest.</p>
<p>No way I can catch again divine Adam on stage and out of it.</p>
<p>I let you imagine how I feel.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-348" title="iPhone roll pics 042" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/iphone-roll-pics-042.jpg?w=225" alt="New York City Hall" width="225" height="300" />My dad came to Gramercy Park Hotel (btw, I have heard Rihanna was here these past days? She must hide well&#8230; never crossed her sight or her huge entourage?!??) yesterday evening to bring me back to Italy. An US officer will accompany us at JFK and then in Milan. There&#8217;s some huge burocracy goinon, but all I can think of is that I hate all this, and that with these spots on my face and body I am darn ugly.</p>
<p>And I can&#8217;t have sex.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m SO angry.</p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s unfair&#8230; I had such a great time in NY&#8230; so much to tell and I will but now&#8230; Darn&#8230; not even the Milan&#8217;s game of yesterday against Real, nor seeing Kakà again.. not the Lakers win cheered me up enough to chase away the regret for being forced to miss the gigs.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t even know why I am ranting here.</p>
<p>Just have to make hours pass before we leave to JFK around NY 4 pm..</p>
<p>I am SO sad.</p>
<p>I know, I will recover.</p>
<p>And I will tell you about New York, beside all the huge twitters about it I made. I will tell how this holiday and even this disease is cementing it all so awesomely with my Karim.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s actually the only bright light in all this loss.</p>
<p>But not today.</p>
<p>My stomach aches and it&#8217;s not for antibiotics.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s due to this:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/dIMDEN0wcf4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/dIMDEN0wcf4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>and all the light I will miss from the shining angel of my heart.</p>
<p>I was almost forgetting: this post from their blog was as usual full of their amazing human touch, so take a look.</p>
<p><a href="http://hcz.org/maroon5">http://hcz.org/maroon5</a></p>
<p>About me&#8230; Well I&#8217;ll be better. I wonder if I did spread the disease on Halloween. Probably yes. Luckely Karim already had it as a kid. Well&#8230; hang on a minute&#8230; EVERYBODY has this as a kid.</p>
<p>DARN.</p>
<p>Better stop this now or I will get on fuming and fumbling around. *sigh*.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Okay. I&#8217;m packing. The whole house looks like a mess cos I have all stuff outside and I&#8217;m picking my choices under a grey storming sky.</p>
<p>But WHO CARES THE RAIN?!???</p>
<p>Yesterday has been an awesome Sport Night!!!! Milan triumphed over Real Madrid in Madrid, 3-2, after an INSANE gesture from Dida, our goal(un)keeper, whom by now I am sure was captured by aliens a couple of years ago and replaced with a chimp in human shape. That&#8217;s not the same Dida who let us win Cups or Leagues. Guaranteed. Anyway, after the triumph, Karim experienced how BETTER is the version of me making sex to him raw for we won, rather than having me raw just cos I needed to download the pain of a loss (the previous times hese years in the Cup).  He&#8217;s now REALLY hoping Milan wins the Cup <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  LOL.</p>
<p>The day before yesterday we ate at my parental house. My parents are in awe with Karim. Really, they adore him. And he&#8217;s pretty much in love with them too (well, f course: they allow him ALL and more!!!), and always tries to speak slow while talkin in English (he could speak Italian perfectly with them, but mum likes to &#8220;practice&#8221; English. Which makes her resulting hilarious!). At a certain point on Tuesday I had to lock Karim in one of the upper bathrooms. I was feeling the heat. There are certain moments where I cannot cope with the way he looks, talks, moves. There are points when I just want him, badly, no mater what. He knows that. He likes that. My parents know me enough to not mind that. They taught me to be free and honest always. And I am. It was quick. amazing. Hot. I think we will easily replicate the High Mile Club practice tomorrow on flight. Can&#8217;t wait.</p>
<p>Talkin about flights and New York and Usa&#8230; MELI COMES AS WELL!!!!!! OMG. My only MUse in life comes along her husband to celebrate their second marriage anniversary and they are in New York when Karim and I are there as well!!! They stay at the Hilton, we stay at Gramercy park: it&#8217;s near, and anyway it&#8217;s Manhattan for both!!!! I called her straight as I received the text message. I even screamed out on<a href="http://twitter.com/ZairaAmaterasu" target="_blank"> Twitter </a> my joy for this amazing event. To walk around with her and Stef will be amazing. Plus Karim and I are an item cos SHE sent me there in San Francisco on August 2008. She knew. She always does. I am absolutely delighted of this all.</p>
<p>Too bad she won&#8217;t stay in Usa enough for the college gigs (well, Stef is not exactly a music fan so no way he could ever agreed on coming witnessing a gig&#8230;) but we will share enough anyway (and I still unaware what Charisse picked up anyway). But also the gigs are coming!!!!! I&#8217;m so delighted. Through <a href="http://twitter.com/maroon5" target="_blank">M5Twitter</a> I am following all the updates on their My Space blog but what was the most amazing catch was MTV Playground interview Adam did with Swedish Director <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_%C3%85kerlund" target="_blank">Jonas Åkerlund</a> (one of my total favs directors, he&#8217;s got that deep insight on artists which allows him to exactly define their intentions and the mood of any song he likes of them), that babies linked from their page.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.talkatplayground.com/site/en-tv?a=214&#38;v=1#v" target="_blank">MTV PlayGround Page</a></p>
<p>Since I am in love with it, I post it (embedding it) as it appears on the page:</p>

Now this is what I call awesome. I so love these guys&#8230; <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Straight from start, look how adorable are J&#38;J in this video. I mean&#8230; I totally adore them, and I just can&#8217;t wait to catch them in the college gigs. AWWWW.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m at work but I can&#8217;t stop thinkin about Friday leaving to New York. It&#8217;s cold  as hell (both here and there) but I&#8217;m all fire. I am sad we won&#8217;t play (Karim and I) at the usual tournament of Wii Thursday, but having the flight in the morning makes us forced to reach Malpensa accordingly.</p>
<p>Even though all could be useless cos&#8230; guess what? Friday 23d of October is GENERAL STRIKE in Italy.</p>
<p>Eww&#8230; Hate that. Anyway Alitalia said the flight will be in the worst scenario just delayed of a coupel hours, cos it&#8217;s Intercontinental. They didn&#8217;t sounded either convinced or convincing&#8230; but there you go.</p>
<p>Halloween in the Big Apple!!! AWESOME!!! I even changed my Twitter icon to make it more grand-guignol. Awww. I&#8217;m really all pumped for everything.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m in love and happy.</p>
<p>Only minus thing is that stupid Vodafone (my phone operator) hasn&#8217;t a convenient plan for web mobile that works for my iPhone so I will spend like millions to Twitter.</p>
<p>Mark, angel, I told you I would have been super connected but in fact I&#8217;ll just tweet a bit, and maybe use the internet in the hotel. Even though I guess when I&#8217;ll be there Karim and I won&#8217;t really mind internet at all. So&#8230; let&#8217;s leave it all at twittering, okay? But it will be informative. I swear <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  My Country guess is in the mail I&#8217;m about to send you&#8230; okay? And CONGRATS for the Exchange achievement!!!! I&#8217;m so happy <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Really <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Okay surely I didn&#8217;t sound coherent&#8230; I&#8217;m just doing one million things at once <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Just know I am HAPPY.</p>
<p>USA&#8230; here we come again <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>WHOOOO_HOOOOO <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> !!!!</p>

A csapat jelenleg turnén van, de igyekeznek folyamatosan tájékoztatni a rajongóikat arról, hogy éppen hogy állnak a felvételekkel, és mindezt a másoknál is jól be vált teaser-es megoldással teszik, melyek közül a már kettő is megtekinthettek itt a<em> ShortScore</em>-on! Huh.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I woke up WAY too soon this morning. I&#8217;m in the trail of THREE Bday parties this weekend (actually 4, cos the one of today is for a bro and a twin Sis <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) so I update this waiting for the chance to wake up Karim without being too mean to him. It&#8217;s 9.30 am and we went home four hours ago&#8230; WHY did I wake up?</p>
<p>Anyway Marghe&#8217;s BDay yesterday was supreme.</p>
<p>Yesterday has been a GREAT day overall.</p>
<p>OBAMA WON THE PEACE NOBEL PRIZE and I am so happy. I share the view of the Committee about the reasons to it. All the babbling simply are coming from people uneducated about foreign politics policies and dynamics. I mean&#8230; philosophically even first. I spoke to Meli, maximum expert there, and I totally share her views <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>GO BARACK!!! Make the world a better place <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  YOU CAN&#8230; We can <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Loved the message <a href="http://twitter.com/JRCarmichael" target="_blank">Jesse </a> wrote on his twitter about this <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> , too.</p>
<p>Yesterday Prince <a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">Adam</a> was in riding mode&#8230; I damn fear everytime he rides his bikes cos I know after seeing it live how tricky is LA traffic for a biker. Still, he looks awesome as a rider (he looks awesome always <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>Yesterday was also a great day cos <a href="http://twitter.com/maroon5" target="_blank">Maroon5 </a> put out a second teaser for the album from the studios&#8230; AWWWW&#8230; you can see it below <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I loved to be able to comment and rate and save it to my YouTube page directly from iPhone <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  The new 3GS is just all that I ever wanted. Is like a mini mini pc and now I can avoid, to stay connected, to bring Noah everywhere (my Toshiba micro tablet).</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also an app for iPhone which is driving me mad, a music one called &#8220;Euphonic&#8221;. Love it to death.</p>
<p>The only minor minus of yesterday (for us, technically it was today though) is that Lakers LOST their preseasonal game against Warriors. Okay, doesn&#8217;t count. Still I don&#8217;t like any  of our loss. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So&#8230; here are the quick updates for today. Wish you all a GREAT weekend. Maybe not as festive as mine, but still super fabulous <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Good morning world!!!</p>
<p>After a totally trashy, shitty Monday and a way better Tuesday, I&#8217;m pretty excited to discover what Wednesday holds to me (hopefully, talkin about Italian &#8220;politics&#8221;, even if it should just be a matter of criminal against laws, really, we&#8217;ll see the REJECTION of Lodo Alfano, unless democracy in Italy truly is under question&#8230;).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve discovered that I can&#8217;t take nights without Karim, unless we are on two opposite sides of the world, or is a good night out for one of us (personal and private spaces are still gold to me and I want him to have his as well).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve discovered that the turmoil that goes with lab tests can get on my head more than I expected.</p>
<p>I discovered that I am proud the Medicine Nobel prize went to TWO women too.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve discovered that fedoras seem now a sign of sluttiness, and I don&#8217;t know why (my Borsalino hats are indeed ultra classy, especially with my Burberry&#8217;s trench).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve discovered I am in love with Karim&#8217;s almost completed Phoenix statue. Wow.Yesterday I went to his loft and he found me speechless, cos he had prepared the whole of his quite big flat covered with rose petals, and had prepared for me a wonderful dinner, totally awesome.  &#8220;I saw you were pretty amazed when your former friend with benefit gifted you with those dozens and dozens of roses last week&#8230; so I decided to thank you this way cos you&#8217;re now only mine. Do you like it? I hope so, my one and only Princess.&#8221;  I indeed liked it so much we skipped dinner for a while, had raucous sex on every possible surface of the loft, then finally ate, with much more need after using ton of energy, and with much more satisfaction. Then he went to his sculpture as I was writing thoughts on my laptop, and while he was sculpting I said to myself it was a masterpiece what I was seeing. A masterpiece of hunk shaping a truly stunning piece of art.</p>
<p>I discovered that I can&#8217;t stand Jay Z.</p>
<p>I mean&#8230; I truly can&#8217;t. I read yesterday, and you can see it from my <a href="http://twitter.com/ZairaAmaterasu" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, that I was reading from NME he would love to collaborate with Liam Gallagher. HOLD ON, you thug!!!! No way. And then Snoop Dogg would love to mix with Noel G. ?!??? NO FREAKIN WAY. These rappers are just not fitting Gallaghers at all. Oasis music is a simple yet descriptive and honest attempt to frame youth&#8217;s energy, insecurity, hope and fears. Oasis music has always been simple and catartic, energetic and completely OUTTA the world of no depth and sluttiness Jay Z and Snoop sing (well, not that they can sing) about. Jay Z&#8217;s &#8220;touch&#8221; has already ruined to me a couple of my ADORED Coldplay&#8217;s songs. I can&#8217;t take him not with Alicia, nor with anybody that I love (read Kanye). I partially stand him with Linkin Park, but probably cos I just medium-ly dig Linkin Park. With Liam?!???? No freakin way. I mean, sure JayZ is better than that garbage which may be Lil Wayne, and all the similar blabbers but to me his music is way overrated, and he&#8217;s got the type of personality that I just find gross, unauthentic, cocky and shallow.</p>
<p>Guess what?</p>
<p>I discovered that on Jay Z  am NEVER ever gonna agree with <a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank"><strong>Divine Adam</strong></a>. Oh, well, it hurts a bit but who cares: after all I don&#8217;t agree with him also on several movie choices <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  His testosterone&#8217;s favs don&#8217;t click with me at all, at times. Which is fine. I would be scared of a contrary case, actually. But once more I found amazement in one of his subsequent answers to somebody pickin on him about his manicheous assumption that Jay Z rules (that <a href="http://twitter.com/spacekwoboy22" target="_blank">guy</a>, I read, said that whomever believes in absolutes would make him laugh, partially quoting Adam earlier use of that same laughing as a sign of strong disagreement). Adam said this replying directly to the guy, which is totally correct in fact:</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">&#8220;<strong>good point. Touché. However, absolutes have to orginate from some kind of consistent trend.&#8221;</strong></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s just so true. So, in the end, even when I strongly face an opposite position compared to his, Adam always makes me think a bit further. There would be miracles comin off from a long conversation with him. His human acknowledgement is probably something he isn&#8217;t even fully aware of himself.</p>
<p>Take this little collage, just to be assured no matter Jay Z crap, or horrible digging of movies like &#8220;Commando&#8221; could ever change the adoration I have for this man. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>While awaiting the Orange Duck ending its cooking in the oven (yeah, today I feel really like a housewife, not desperate at all <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) and as Karim is putting some more touches over his amazing Phoenix sculpture, I take some really lil time to update the blogs.</p>
<p>I was about to wait some more hours, but then I just got into Divine Adam’s latest <a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">tweet</a> (awww… how much is he adorable when he openly tells his people how he loves them? He always makes me melt) and so, I was like “yeah, let’s write a bit”.</p>
<p> My week has been double face: on one side, really boring and tough (the awful Milan Champions League game, the German partners meeting… I can’t stand the thing, sorry), on the other, really cool and friendly feeling (The Wii rounds, Friday TOTAL dancing night out…) and the really Me&#38;Him weekend.</p>
<p>Yesterday we woke up at 5 pm (well, we also went sleeping at 8 AM… <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) so the whole day was just strange and awesome. We didn’t even dress. Yeah. We wandered out naked the whole day. Today we’re just wearing shirts. But it won’t last long <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p>I’m feeling purely glimmering.</p>
<p>Wow, this is so intense I sometimes get scared about it. But I don’t want to. It’s such a bless to be scared of it would be nonsense. Yesterday evening we’ve watched Memoirs of a Geisha. You know how much that is one of my favs ever movies. Karim wanted to dress me with my awesome kimono (the one he bought me in Japan). It was fantastic to have his hands all over me to actually DRESS me and not undress me. It was just so purely sexy and dedicated.</p>
<p>Today we have as well to find peculiar ways to play, cos I’m in *those days* and I hate that on one side. On the other , I love the quid of fantasy we have to use to keep loving one another also when I’m in what I call “The Bloody Mode”. I actually love to just take care of him. He’s got no Bloody Mode so in a way it’s okay still to have major intercourse, till the extreme points of his pleasure. Which is mine after all.</p>
<p> Duck is almost ready.</p>
<p> Wish you all a Sunday as charmingly perfect as mine has being and is going to be.</p>
<p> Oh… Check out this: is Tommy King. Latest gift from my marvellous 5 impeccable taste. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Good morning everyone!</p>
<p>It seems that this music-less week at lab is going to continue, as there aren&#8217;t yet solutions to the blown-up speakers. I fear we will have to wait Monday to fix this, which is a MAJOR trouble for me.</p>
<p>Spending hours with no music around kills my spirit, you know.</p>
<p>But there are things that are always capable to raise my mood, and that for instance happened yesterday, just at this hour, when I was checking as usual <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">Divine Adam&#8217;s tweets</a></strong></p>
<p>He was writing this:  &#8220;<strong><em>Get it on&#8221; is on tv. I can&#8217;t stop watching it. I think I need to see a doctor about it&#8221;.</em></strong> It was clear from start he wasn&#8217;t quoting nor T-Rex&#8217;s song, nor Marvin Gaye&#8217;s record so I asked Karim for a clue and he said he was most certainly referring about a Durex commercial, and then showed me what he was talking about, on the SuperFad site: <strong><a href="http://www.superfad.com/player.php?project=251&#38;item=566" target="_blank">http://www.superfad.com/player.php?project=251&#38;item=566</a></strong></p>
<p>I started laughing and I couldn&#8217;t stop. Damn, Adam&#8230; this really is one of the colest and funniest (not to mention USEFUL.. Safe sex is basic to good life) things I&#8217;ve ever come to see.</p>
<p>I let you all share the amusement (on the SuperFad site there are also three amazing outtakes, and number three makes me crack fully!)</p>
<p><strong>Durex Commercial</strong><br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/BQALeeHWJyE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/BQALeeHWJyE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span><br />
Adam&#8230; since you mentioned this yesterday I&#8217;ve become obsessed <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I might have to go and see a doctor as well, LOL!</p>
<p>I will later post the collage about Adam&#8217;s *sun*, whom he has flewn back from Suisse on Monday to keep spending time with (he&#8217;s so sweet when he&#8217;s in love&#8230;) and whom now&#8217;s got a name, Angela (cute cute cute), just to keep back in track about Prince&#8217;s lovely life, don&#8217;t worry.</p>
<p>By the way I haven&#8217;t a clue which one of the <a href="http://www.maroon5.com/news/detail/maroon_5_announces_exclusive_us_college_tour_to_kick_off_this_november/" target="_blank">November gigs</a> I will attend along Charisse (Karim&#8217;s cousin) but I guess some of the first, so I can attach the New York trip with <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/maroon5" target="_blank">Maroon5</a></strong> catch.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s in charge of the tickets: she knows I don&#8217;t need to know, I just need to go so she can make me a surprise and just take me there when it&#8217;s meant to <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Today is Wii Championship evening, yall: and talkin about games, I forgot to tell that of course I&#8217;m gonna get<a href="http://hub.guitarhero.com/maroon-5-frontman-adam-levine-takes-the-stage-as-a-playable-character-in-band-hero-tm/" target="_blank"> <strong>Band Hero</strong></a> as it comes out and customize myself as<strong> <a href="http://hub.guitarhero.com/maroon-5-frontman-adam-levine-takes-the-stage-as-a-playable-character-in-band-hero-tm/" target="_blank">Adam</a></strong> <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  AH! These things are so cheesy and I SO love them <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It&#8217;s two days that I am at Karim&#8217;s place at night. Today the Wii is gonna be played here actually.</p>
<p>I so love to stay here.  have always loved lofts, they can get so personal, and he truly knows how to make them his own. He asked what I thought of his parents gift (they gave me a <strong>Kindle</strong>, with covers in leather and 100 books in in three languages <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  AMAZING!!!!) and I said I was shocked. They shouldn&#8217;t have.</p>
<p>He said that they really like me. Way more than they show or tell me. He then added he hopes this doesn&#8217;t scare me off nor will ake me run out of his reach.</p>
<p>It won&#8217;t happen.</p>
<p>I stay so comfortable with you, Special K. I couldn&#8217;t ask for more. And it&#8217;s about me and you and nobody else. I&#8217;m glad your parents like me. My parents adore you in fact. But it wouldn&#8217;t matter even if they would be acting totally different. I do love to be with you. The only one you have to conquer is me, the only one I have to conquer is you, and that&#8217;s already in the books. So the rest can be fine and cute, but it&#8217;s all a plus that in the end doesn&#8217;t count.</p>
<p>Yesterday he was sculpting.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s so incredibly sexy when he does that. You can see all his toned body pulsing while it gets sweaty, while he works with chisel and hammer and the resounding smashes change the shape of marble. He gest so into the stone, glaring at it like it&#8217;s a living thing that he hypnotizes me.</p>
<p>I adore to admire him while he works out his art.</p>
<p>I also adore, when I just can&#8217;t cope with the arising passion he inspires me, to do my best to take him off from the stone and the work.</p>
<p>Yesterday as usual it didn&#8217;t take me that much.</p>
<p>Make sex with Karim is the ultimate experience. In my book he has reached by now 15 out of 10. A bomb.</p>
<p>The other day Teo walked in at the lab (Karim was still in Frisco) and he asked me if I will aver play with him again.</p>
<p>&#8220;I miss our sexual chemistry, and although Karim&#8217;s really a cool guy, I can&#8217;t stand to stare at you two. I&#8217;m not jalous, you know&#8230; I just miss our friendly benefiting situation. That was the best sex I ever had.&#8221;</p>
<p>I loved his sincerity. In fact I keep receiving these kind of proposals by all of my former &#8220;special friends&#8221;. Karim knows this, I&#8217;m not one who hides, and at first he was worried I might have accepted something while he was not around. Actually before April I was doing that, and he knows. But now&#8230; not anymore. I said the ony way Teo (or whomever else) can hope to have again sex wth me is if Karim would ask for something more playful and kinky, a threesome or similar, just for my own pleasure. None of my sexual interests have ever been &#8220;bi&#8221; so that would really be a super pleasant thing for me mostly, but after the Mashudo&#8217;s thing I don&#8217;t think Karim will be ready any soon for another threesome.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t put limits out. But it belongs to his will. That&#8217;s part of our bond.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m completely satisfied in him.</p>
<p>I never thought I would ever said a sentence like this. I&#8217;m so happy I can.</p>
<p>While we&#8217;re gonna be in New York he&#8217;s gonna have that fourth tattoo he was telling once. We&#8217;re gonna stop by <a href="http://www.eastsideinktattoo.com/" target="_blank">East Side Ink Tattoo</a> and the tat itself will be sketched by me out from his idea (then the artist will of course make it the best he can!). He&#8217;s gonna draw over his chest, right where the heart is, a rose that blossoms into a shining sun.</p>
<p>The meaning is clear: my neame means &#8220;rose&#8221; and my nickname refers to Japanese Goddess of the Sun.</p>
<p>I have to say this is the most flattering, amazing thing a man has ever done for me.</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t ever ink myself, but I can so fully guess those like him who put over their bodies things that matter for them. To have that tat over the heart for life sure is more than a BIG sign of love.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll make you never regret that, Special K.</p>
<p>Never ever.</p>
<p>Have all a shining day and&#8230; ops, I almost forgot&#8230; Adam and Angela&#8217;s collage when he took her in New York last week. Awwww: they&#8217;re so so cute together <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Good morning!</p>
<p>Writing from a silent lab. Diffusion of iPod is unworking due to a speakers blow, caused by this past night&#8217;s storming, and so I have to take all chemical tests today in silence and this pisses me off completely, united with this shit weather.</p>
<p>To add insult to injury, the other metereopathic I take care of, sweet<strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">Divine A., is just now telling us he&#8217;s again flying back to Cali</a></strong>, after mere 4 days back in Switzerland.</p>
<p>ARGH!!!!!! This means easily I can pack and throw away plans to go to Geneva Lake this Friday for a few days.</p>
<p>This also mean all my rush to get spare days this weekend to be added to my permission was a waste.</p>
<p>But this means now I can claim these days hopefully for the November warm-up college tour of the babies, considering also beside K&#8217;naan there is a secret special guest they won&#8217;t reveal yet.</p>
<p>*sigh*.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just wait and see. It&#8217;s getting hard to cope with Adam&#8217;s moves. Has he found a way to kill his flight repulsion? So many planes at such a quick rate&#8230;  <strong>Pratyahara step in Ashtanga yoga has finally helped him in getting acquainted with planes? </strong></p>
<p>So, in this music-less lab today I have to find a way to keep focused and up in mood.</p>
<p>I mightjust watch what Karim gifted me with yesterday.</p>
<p>Oh, dear&#8230; he&#8217;s such a wonderful guy.</p>
<p>Not only he was constantly helping me during saturdays coping with his parents arrival (I was dead from a night-ending at 8 in the morning dance that left me with 4 hours of sleep till the pickin up at airport, and with a buzz in my ears that didn&#8217;t end untile yesterday&#8230; and he helped me not resulting an ass with his parents, and also with mines&#8230;), not only the night we have got to finally spend together again after his coming back to USA for a few days was simply memorable&#8230; not only yesterday he was so sweet and lovely with everybody of my family and his and more&#8230; well, he just gifted me with something that SURE is childlike, cheesy and absurd&#8230; butstill is something that totally shows he&#8217;s on my wave lenght.</p>
<p>In mind, spirit, body&#8230; everything.</p>
<p>He gifted me (and himself) a series of parachuting lessons.</p>
<p>I WILL FLY!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>You know, my dearest friends, I&#8217;ve always had this huge wish of jumping in the air and fly in the sky.</p>
<p>Yes, I&#8217;m terrified and electrified at once.</p>
<p>That training curse costs an eye of a living body, cos it&#8217;s long, defined, personal and double.</p>
<p>And he land it to me smiling and say:</p>
<p>&#8220;I just told you I would have gifted you the entire sky, if you&#8217;d ever allow me to. So&#8230; this is it. I love you so much this feels just like natural. Gotta bring the most brightest star where she belongs: up in the blue sky.&#8221;</p>
<p>Awwww.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t he so marvelous?</p>
<p>He has also agreed in letting his cousin (a female girl I just met twice last year while in USA, but a total fan as me and a total cool girl from what I got to test then) coming with me if I will ever get to book the places for the College gigs.</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t wanna ruin you anything. I promised I will unleash your freakness about M5 freely. And so I step back from that gig chase. It&#8217;s your territory. I respect that, and show you how much so.&#8221;</p>
<p>The way we have made out after that speech of Karim is something that should be put on repeat to erase pain and sadness from world.</p>
<p>A total heaven.</p>
<p>Aww.</p>
<p>I am watchin <strong>Kanye&#8217;s rant </strong>at VMA.</p>
<p>Damn, Kanye&#8230; what the hell were you thinkin about?!?</p>
<p>I really don&#8217;t like Country pop either but please, that poor Taylor is such a sweet creature, so kind and fresh and cute&#8230; at least she sings her own songs and plays a guitar, sure the songs aren&#8217;t that great but that&#8217;s way better than autotuning Rihanna, just to name a flipping name you love?!?!????</p>
<p>WRONG move Mr. West. Really, really dumb one. The &#8220;apology&#8221; later on your blog is even a further miss-step. I know you still convinced you are right in your judgement, I someway even agree with you, but trash that poor child her own glory moment was so, so, SO mean. Uncalled and cruel.</p>
<p>Still love u as a music genius but damn, that is gonna cost you Grammy album of the Year FOR SURE (Late Registration was anyway a better effort, and if that didn&#8217;t get that honour, sure 808 mustn&#8217;t either).</p>
<p>Anyway the ONLY worthing thing at VMA&#8217;s was <strong>MUSE</strong>.</p>
<p>Way beyond anything else there.</p>
<p>The only ones singing live for real, too. Real music, too.</p>
<p>The Resistance is a fantastic album.</p>
<p>AND I CAN&#8217;T PLAY IT NOW cos of the iPod system failure at lab.</p>
<p>SUCKS. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Karim will arrive tomorrow night with his parents along. I had a very tough night this past one being alone, and so today I was trying to make mind vaguely captured by things that I love while at work.</p>
<p>I was ready to a very flat day and I was just lookin up to the Wii competition this evening at my pad (but without Karim I lose my most fierce competitor) and I was a bit bummed and low when Sweet Babies came in to SAVE THE DAY!!!!</p>
<p>Courtesy of <a href="http://twitter.com/maroon5" target="_blank">Maroon5 Twitter</a> the awesome news that I will put in a link for you to read (it&#8217;s easier) :<a href="http://www.maroon5.com/news/detail/maroon_5_announces_exclusive_us_college_tour_to_kick_off_this_november/" target="_blank">November Warm Up Tour with K&#8217;naan!!!!</a></p>
<p>Okay, I&#8217;m all jumping and excited and I just need to pack and plan things up to reach College friends in America wherever they will offer me a way to apply the competition <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  (I mean the one that sees a kid playing tennis against James <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>I am SOOOOO Happy.</p>
<p>I was expecting the album to be out around Spring 2010 (I wrote that as soon as they were pickin up recording sessions with Mutt) and I was sure theyw ould have done the usual touring for warming up as they did last time with IWBSBL. Awww. Divine&#8217;s voice to bless my ears SO soon <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I am SO happy today I will smash everybody with the Wii.</p>
<p>Tennis especially is needed to be played, you know :9!!!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Tokio: Imperial Palace side of ancient fortress So&#8230; Here I am then. Back from last weekend]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_278" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 256px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-278" title="TokioAncientImperialPalaceSide" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/tokioancientimperialpalaceside.jpg?w=246" alt="Tokio: Imperial Palace side of ancient fortress" width="246" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tokio: Imperial Palace side of ancient fortress</p></div>
<p>So&#8230;</p>
<p>Here I am then.</p>
<p>Back from last weekend&#8217;s sudden and amazing trip to Garda Lake (weather: top!!! Karim surfed a lot and we had just one of the best stops there in the whole spring summer 09!!!), and after the Japan trip has ended.</p>
<p>It took me a while to update the blog.</p>
<p>So much going on inside. SO MUCH.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t even know what I am about to write here; you  have followed me through all<strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/ZairaAmaterasu" target="_blank">Twitter&#8217;s posts</a></strong> while I was in the blessed Nihon so you shoul know what it has happened there, or the way it has made me feel being finally there, where everything makes sense to me, even when I don&#8217;t understand it.</p>
<p>I have hundreds of pics, and actually hours of handycam memories (which I won&#8217;t really post, cos there you can see my man and I and we don&#8217;t like the world that doesn&#8217;t know us to violate our sacred privacy), but you will be made part only of those in the <strong><a href="http://twitpic.com/photos/zairaamaterasu" target="_blank">Twitpic account of mine</a></strong> (not all of them might be about Japan, and I will increase the collection as days go by of course!). It&#8217;s not about being strict: it&#8217;s that the memories are fully precious and deep, and there are many that we want only our closest people to be part of. You know, although I am a very explicative and talkative person, or so I do seem also online, fact is that my real precious things are preserved from outside&#8217;s curiosity.</p>
<p>Which is why my peeps treasure me, I guess.</p>
<p>Back to the point.</p>
<p>Japan.</p>
<p>Oh, Lord&#8230; what a wonderful experience that has been.</p>
<p>Everything was just topping my wildest hopes and expectations. All that I have grown up with, the cartoons, the art, the anime, the literature, the theathre, the fashion style I&#8217;ve always been fond of, the crazyness, the hyper new, the hyper old&#8230; the poetry of smallest things, the hugeness of skyscrapers and buildings, the kindness and the nerdiness, the unique and the absurd, the gentle and the reserved&#8230; all was just like I was loving it to be, just more lovingly, and more deservingly all of my love.</p>
<p>I feel so near to that Country.</p>
<p>And everytime I was making clear I was Italian, they seemed so genuinely touched I, whom I belong to (in their eyes.. and mines too, of course!) &#8220;Most beautiful Country in the whole world&#8221; could feel so amazed by their own Country (which they are so totally devoted to.. something almost unthinkable for us Italians&#8230;), they actually made me feel proud of being from Italy. Which is a great step, considering how much I am ashamed my Country is represented by such individuals as Berlusconi.</p>
<p>Japan made me proud to be Italian.</p>
<p>Awesome.</p>
<p>But really&#8230; it&#8217;s so overwhelming what Japan is in my eyes, that I could write for a month and I wouldn&#8217;t be able nor to list or describe how and deeply being there has empowered me and my life and my spirit.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll definitely be back there. I want to learn Japanese so much more now.</p>
<p>Karim didn&#8217;t tell me he knew some of it (well, a fair part of it actually.. in Otsu he was fluently communicating with everybody, making me feel like an ass&#8230;which I am), but thanks to his connections we had a pretty incredible time with real Japanese people, which is the best way by far to get acuqainted with the real spirit of any Country.</p>
<p>I tend always to forget that Karim is the son of an Ambassador. The grandson of a diplomathic. The fact he knows so many languages comes naturally from his life history. But for me Karim is just my man, the adorable wonderful creature I was sent from above to amend and tame my terrible flaunting personality.</p>
<p>Personality which he loves. I actually love it too <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Being in Japan with him has just added magic to an unratable level at something that by itself was already meant to be perfect with me.</p>
<p>TOO MUCH, indeed.</p>
<p>We have spent hours reaching the peaks of any possible way to merge powerfully together. You know, we&#8217;re kind of sex addicts and addicted to one another, but play our games in Japan, since we both love Eastern practices, has added even more juice and flair and style if I can say it to our&#8230; personal ways to reach heaven in two.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s something indeed very sexy and kinky about Japan and it sexualized us in fantasious ways.</p>
<p>The nature, the way houses are made&#8230; well I wasn&#8217;t really that excited in making love under hot tepid or cold water since I&#8217;ve been in Finland years ago.</p>
<p>Just that having Karim in this was of course a MAJOR improvement of everything. Man&#8217;s SO talented. It takes a lot to make somebody like me praise a lover even after so many months of exchanges together. Really&#8230; it&#8217;s like everytime there&#8217;s something unexpected or just earthshattering. You know that Shakira She Wolf video? Well, I howl at moon. I howl at sun. I howl. Everytime.</p>
<p>He said Japan makes me more reflective. More ready to listen. Maybe it&#8217;s cos that philosophy you can find everywhere indeed calms me and puts me at peaceful points. But it&#8217;s not that merely. I mean.. there was a Japan side that totally was making me wild!!!</p>
<p>In fact I loved to hear Karim speak. I loved to watch him going around.</p>
<p>We even dressed as Japanese people. He bought yukatas and then in Osaka we went in this sartorial place where he shown me a series of celebratory kimonos.</p>
<p>MY oh my&#8230; do they cost or what?!? Well&#8230; I tried several and then when it was about one in white, golden and blue sky, with birds and flowers over and red and purple eri and tomoeri, he said:</p>
<p>&#8220;You have to take this one: you truly look like Amaterasu&#8217;s back with her light to cheer the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t really moving a muscle. That thing, complete with all decorations for hair, the lil purse, the zoris and all that completed the mise, was to cost him the equivalent of 26000 euros, included the sending in Italy.</p>
<p>But by now I know Karim enough to realize he is never meant to joke about these things. And he wasn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t accept.&#8221; I said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sure you can. I will buy it anyway and gift you anyway with it. So that I will take the fine pleasure of dressing you up with it, and undressing you as well, anytime we will feel like to. Somebody calling herself Amaterasu in nickname won&#8217;t resist the tease of owning such a fine piece of artistry over her soft skin.&#8221;</p>
<p>The kimono will arrive next week.</p>
<p>You can bet we will do some Kabuki renewed moves ourselves as I will wear it.</p>
<p>At work my collegues are hinting that Karim and I should get officially together.</p>
<p>I said that&#8217;s not the way we work. We DO are together. There&#8217;s no need of any visible testify of it. We are young and we know what we want.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s clear by now we want one another.</p>
<p>Badly.</p>
<p>But we have our own way to live this thing. Many don&#8217;t get it, and we can&#8217;t care less.</p>
<p>Next week his parents come visiting us in Italy. My parents are all excited, and we keep calm everybody down, cos they are maybe imagining we will announce engagements or stuff like that.</p>
<p>NO WAY.</p>
<p>We belong to one another. That is anough for us to know. People better stop to get itchy about their own way to intend commitment. We have our way to feel committed to one another and we won&#8217;t change that.</p>
<p>*subtle message to Marghe* <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if we will be able to reach LA house before end of November.</p>
<p>Furnishing is done (Karim&#8217;s parents took care of controlling the steps for us) and so we can get there whenever we like to. But end of October is already New York. So not many spaces. The plan of working in California for me starts by February 2010. Trips have to be organized carefully.</p>
<p>Talkin about New York!!!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that I have forgotten Prince A., of course.</p>
<p>Beside the fact after the party at his Hollywood home last Friday he seems disappeared from Twitter, and his last tweet (which is up from 2 and half days, proving him as a totally unable to be a diplomatic PR of himself, thing that I DO LOVE about him, cos it proves him a true person, and somebody who won&#8217;t display a fake personality just cos that would be so fancy to sell) reads: &#8220;<strong><a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank"><span><span>Porno&#8230;.&#8221;big trouble in little vagina&#8221;</span></span></a></strong> (Adam <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  you bratty bratty man&#8230; that was probably screened at the aforementioned party to make everybody have a good laugh &#8211; or maybe some of the actors were hanging there as well? Cali, the porn reign&#8230;) the lovely creature has something going on on the East Side, as when he got back temporarily from Geneva Lake he fancied the company of this gal. Just his type, indeed.</p>
<div id="attachment_279" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-279" title="Adam's and GF New York bliss 25-26-Aug-09" src="http://zairaamaterasu.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/adams-and-gf-new-york-bliss-25-26-aug-09.jpg" alt="Adam's and GF New York bliss 25-26-Aug-09" width="480" height="561" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Adam&#39;s and GF New York bliss 25-26-Aug-09</p></div>
<p>Whatever makes Divine Adam happy, it makes me happy.</p>
<p>He shaved his hair too so record is nearly completed, although just the other day he mentioned there is a potential last song that he&#8217;s perfectioning still with Sam Farrar (awwww&#8230;. Baby Vesper is so cute!!! Sam posted pics of her on his Twitter and she is adorable.  With the best Godfather ever, you know&#8230;). He will soon leave to Geneva Lake again to reach Jesse and James and Mutt and complete the lot. I plan of course the catching. You can bet that. But most important, can&#8217;t wait for new songs.</p>
<p>JFYI: you won&#8217;t see any leak in my pages. Leaking online is something I loathe.</p>
<p>Have all a great start of week.</p>
<p>Mine is supreme <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<description><![CDATA[Back from an awesome weekend at Lake Garda. Feeling so happy and full and satisfied. Gotta write M. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Back from an awesome weekend at Lake Garda.</p>
<p>Feeling so happy and full and satisfied.</p>
<p>Gotta write M. (yesterday we got back in Milan that it was almost midnight&#8230;) and I will after updating the blogs.</p>
<p>I am already thinkin what I should bring in Japan. We will stay at Hilton in Shinjuku, it&#8217;s a good position and I just CAN&#8217;T WAIT.</p>
<p>I was thinkin about writing what it was for me this past weekend but I realize that the best I could say has already been said centuries ago by mighty Latin poet Catullo, in his 31th carmina.</p>
<p>So there you go, enjoy it <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (in <strong><a href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catullus_31" target="_blank">this link</a></strong> there is the Ancient Latin original with the Wiki translation: I actually prefer my own version of the translation, less literal and more poetically arranged. Make your choice about the two <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p><em><strong>Sirmio (31carmina)</strong><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Sirmio, jewel of islands, jewel of peninsulas,<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>jewel of whatever is set in the bright waters</em></p>
<p><em>or the great sea, or either ocean,</em></p>
<p><em>with what joy, what pleasure I gaze at you,</em></p>
<p><em>scarcely believing myself free of Thynia</em></p>
<p><em>and the Bithynian fields, seeing you in safety.</em></p>
<p><em>O what freedom from care is more joyful</em></p>
<p><em>than when the mind lays down its burden,</em></p>
<p><em>and weary, back home from foreign toil,</em></p>
<p><em>we rest in the bed we longed for?</em></p>
<p><em>This one moment’s worth all the labour.</em></p>
<p><em>Hail, O lovely Sirmio, and rejoice as I rejoice,</em></p>
<p><em>and you, O lake of Lydian waters, laugh</em></p>
<p><em>with whatever of laughter lives here.</em></p>
<p>It seems like lakes have conquered also *somebody*.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank">Divine Prince Adam</a></strong> allegedly bows at Geneva Lake graceful <em>panorama</em> and even<strong> <a href="http://twitpic.com/ciyt0" target="_blank">twitpics about it</a></strong> (now I have the evidence for my previous guess&#8230; I SO hope that by the time I&#8217;m back from Japan they might still there&#8230;), while <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/jamesbvalentine" target="_blank">James </a></strong>has developed sort of an anger towards Swiss kids playing tennis against him (;) aww <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p>Indeed lakes have a sort of powerful charm.</p>
<p>In Japan we will try Biwako (Biwa Lake) cos I will get to see the house of the greatest epic poet in Japan history. A FEMALE. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Again.. can&#8217;t wait.</p>
<p>Luv everybody.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I knew from the very first second I saw Adam&#8217;s got his personal tweets that I would have become addicted to that. Which is sweet and also TERRIBLE, cos I hate spend time over the web when there&#8217;s absolute no need of it.</p>
<p>But what can I do? My brain drives hands over the iPhone so that I can check it. Plus he&#8217;s trying to convince all the guys doing it also (James already there) and this could make me like hyper frenzy.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s almost scaring me fully out, if it wouldn&#8217;t that it&#8217;s hella funny &#8220;hearing&#8221; him talk through vision instead than listening.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t help.. he cracks me up.</p>
<p>Today I was at laboratory and then I read this: <a href="http://twitter.com/adamlevine" target="_blank"><strong>&#8220;I don&#8217;t need drugs. I AM drugs&#8221;</strong></a></p>
<p>So true on so many levels.</p>
<p>Still, I gotta discipline myself and allow twitter checks just like&#8230; once or twice a day or like today I will spend all time at work checkin phone or pc out.</p>
<p>Karim is gonna kill me this time and he would be right.</p>
<p>But I just can&#8217;t resist and now I will go to the Lake even by sole walking <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Adam&#8230; darn you!!!! You can&#8217;t imagine the mess that you&#8217;ve put my daily life in with your (blessed) decision to tweet. I see also troubles coming cos somebody&#8217;s easy at rushing addictions to new things <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  And I&#8217;m not speaking just of myself.</p>
<p>Right&#8230; now I stop all connections. Till tomorrow at midday at least <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
