Despite being 100% Italian, mastering Italian as a second language always seemed impossible. The Italian teaching style in my school was stricter, clearly having fun was conducive to learning: Tu es très bizarre. (French) You are very odd. as my French teacher would say. Thanks to Japanese friends, I was intrigued by Japanese characters, sounds and grammar. How different the words were and yet how the syllabic pronunciation of its syllabaries (hiragana & katakana) reminded me of my...

Nah, not really. How can you get bored? When you're connected to a powerful computer that can travel through time and space? Your brain, from one thought to another, gradually, like rain trickling, coalescing on a window or a pebble skipping along a surface, the ripples undulating across, meeting and smoothening.

And really to see what 100 days of writing could change. Most of my writing in the last few years has gone into instant messaging. I expect that's true for most people. Makes you wonder what would you write about, say even, when no one or everyone is listening? Dunno.. Tonight I was going to do some coding, ended up making tira...

Cooking! I love cooking from breakfast at 10 [PBJ] lunch at 10:30 [Ravioli] to second lunch at 16:00 [Paella] --> late dinner [Lasagna]! I've been meaning to write since I first heard about digital nomads; what to write about? That was definitely one of the many obstacles, I set myself. Sometimes you just gotta try, and then you know... you know whether it's worth pursuing! As my flatmate admitted: "you're the least legit person I know": I can talk about doing. And do without thinking.....
