(A) books: all of
Pratchett, most of
Gaiman, much of
Asimov. Dune by Herbert. Calvino.
Rodari. Pennac of course, specially the Malaussene cycle. The
mandatory Lord of the Rings. The Neverending Story. Ender's Game
& Shadow. Douglas Adams. Harry Potter. I'm just discovering
Robert Rankin, and enjoing it a lot so far. Jasper Fforde. Rick
Riordan. More to follow.
(B) movies, comedy and TV: Lord of the Rings (again), Sliding
Doors, My Best Friend's Wedding, the old Casino Royale. Does
anybody remember Operation Petticoat? I love
it. Hairspray. Rent. The Producers. Spaceballs. I loved Dark Knight
and I never, ever want to watch it again, it scared the hell out of
me. 300, both Iron Man and The Avengers (and I kinda wetted myself
with them :) ). Anything Pixar. Every Russell Peters show. Rich Hall
shows. Lots of TV stuff: Whose Line is is Anyways (US version only,
blame John Sessions), Stephen Fry's QI and A Bit of Fry and Laurie,
Monty Python Flying
Circus, The Big Bang Theory, Red
Dwarf, Takeshi's Castle, Ninja Warriors (go Makoto Nagano!), Top Gear (witch
is the only car show my husband like), Mythbusters. NCIS and
Numb3rs. Also Colpo Grosso, but this is just for
Italians (see below).
(C) Paul Simon, with or without Garfunkel. Crosby, Still and
Nash, with or without Young. Disco, 70s and 80s. Guilty pleasure:
the Backstreet Boys.
(D) After a long re-training from my husband, I'm still,
unfortunately, a bit picky with my food. This is related to the
long story of my life and I will need to be working on that a bit
more. Also, I have a quite annoying mild intolerance for cheese,
which limits my food choices some more. I deeply love: shrimps,
artisan's icecream (hazelnut specially); pasta; potato dumplings;
french fries; homemade ravioli (I need to be sure there's no cheese
in the filling). I also love ethnic food, specially Indian, Chinese
and Japanese.
Mi ripeto: amavo Colpo Grosso e volevo essere una ragazza Cin Cin
(e chi la capisce la capisce). Inoltre mi piaceva Drive In e
Indietro Tutta (essere una Ragazza Coccode' era la seconda scelta).
Mi manca tanto
Giochi senza frontiere.
Purtroppo la TV Italiana di oggi non regge il confronto con quella
anni 70/80 o con quella UK e USA. Non voglio
neanche sentir
nominare i vari (ir)reality show.
Per favore. Per la
musica Italiana:
Fabrizio de Andre, Neri per
Caso, i primi dischi di Ligabue,
Mercanti di Liquore.
