From Hollywood Reporter:

ABC has decided against giving full-season orders to "Pushing Daisies," but is not officially saying that the struggling show is canceled.
Producers of the show are being told that ABC has elected not to order additional hours beyond the original 13-episode commitments. The network left the door open for ordering more ( Read more... )

I apologize for not being able to post anything or even comment other posts in the last two weeks...

It's been quite a hectic period: literature essays that led me to the border of insanity, gradual deterioration of my house (now it seems finally ok, btw), fencing lessons growing more and more difficult and exhausting... And finally the so longed- ( Read more... )

I promised I would post a couple of pics of my vampire outfit and of the party, so here they are. I should probably warn you, particularly about the one my flatmates took while I was putting the make-up on, or the one when I try the fake fangs and end up with a not so intelligent expression... Oh, well, never mind...

So this would be my first real Halloween, since in Italy we don't celebrate it, except in some crap disco parties I avoid like the plague... The atmosphere here is totally different, I like it!

I decided just today my "costume", because in the last days I was more concerned with the buttock-freezing cold... The first October snow since 1934?!?! That ( Read more... )

This time I wasn't tagged, but I'll do the meme anyway 'cos I can't study for my essays a minute longer or I'll implode, and chococoffeekiss  suggested I did it and... I realise I'm starting to ramble again... Oh, well, I'm blaming Rhys Davies entirely for that... Damn you and your tons of short stories!

This way you'll see the strangest assortment of music ever, ( Read more... )

Well, I was tagged...

Rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people.

So, Freshers' Week is almost over, and on Monday Semester I actually begins.
I chose 4 courses:

1. Sociolinguistics
2. Early 20th Century Literature
3. Welsh Writing in English
4. Advanced English Integrated Skills

Great, but I think the best has yet to come: for Semester II I chose Arthurian Literature (I'm planning to prepare my thesis about it)!

Uni aside, I'm ( Read more... )

So I am now in Bangor, ready to start the academic year in this amazing university.
I found a house to rent, and though it's not exactly heavenly it's home, with a really comfy room. I've got four flatmates, and I already met two of
them (and they are a couple! and their room is just above mine! 'm doomed), who seem quite nice.
The sun is shining, a ( Read more... )

My things are all packed, not without a great deal of efforts... and a nervous breakdown as well (how can I possibly have only 30 Kg of clothes and other stuff for one year?!?).

However, everything's ok now. I've checked my luggage at least 10 times, making sure I haven't forgotten anything important, and I'm ready to leave. The plane leaves this ( Read more... )

Today I seem to be in a reading frenzy (started three books at once: Inkdeath, Veronika Decides To Die and The Elegance Of The Hedgehog). In the last two months I've been so busy I rarely had the time to pick a book, so this is quite a luxury...  Awww, how much I love reading!!!
