C’e’ una messicana bona dal cuore d’oro e con figlia a carico che si trasferisce a Los Angeles.
Va a lavorare come sguattera nella villa di questi superamericani con la famiglia cosi’ composta:
moglie (bionda) schizzata e puttana dalla lacrima facile;
suocera mbriacona dalla lacrima facile;
figlia sovrappeso e sensibile dalla lacrima facile;
marito cuoco da 5 stelle dal cuore d’oro e (c’e’ bisogno di dirlo ?) dalla lacrima facile.
[Read More]This is the way:
get an idea: basically, whatever springs to my mind;
write it down: on a piece of paper, if on the move; if connected, open my gmail account, write a new mail with subject something like “[blog] how to spit like a lama”, then save as draft;
leave it standing for at least a couple of hours;
copy & paste it on the blogger edit page, do some minor cosmetic modifications, change the publishing dates to avoid embarassment (“yes boss I’ve been working for hours on this project, what do you think I’m sitting up on my ass in this office?”)
[Read More]Some time ago I stumbled upon this thing, the Getting Things Done thing, aka GTD. How do you wanna call it ? A geekish obsession ? A lifestyle idea for nerds ?
Anyway, the Hipster PDA post was pretty cool (and fun to read). I have experienced myself the pleasure of having a toy like a palm (used to have the transparent Palm IIIe, upgraded with a IIIx motherboard, then switched to a Sony Clie), only to realize it was a useless and timewasting piece of equipment, and switched back to post-it notes and my trusty old mobile (6310i) to keep the phone numbers and passwords.
[Read More]I don’t watch too much tv.
My beatiful LCD widescreen TV has a quiet life with me; not too much zapping (surely a source of stress not only for the zapper -me-, but also for the zapped -the tv-). Every once in a while, when I’m stuck at home during the weekends (a rare event), I watch MotoGP or Superbike races. News, and what goes on in the world? I prefer the internet or the good old radio. Anyway I never dig too much in those subjects. It was different when I was living in the UK, I must say; BBC news was at first a great way to learn spoken english (then I realized also the true meaning of unbiased news, a luxury that we don’t have here in Italy).
[Read More]Anni fa misi su un sito che raccoglieva racconti dei miei viaggi in moto, fotografie scattate qui e li’, e tante altre cosette che risultavano dalla mia nascosta anima geek (la mia attrezzatura fotografica, i miei computer, le modifiche fatte alle mie moto).
Poi era stata una maniera per rimanere in contatto con quello che e’ stato il mio primo e insuperato gruppo di amici motociclisti, il G Bar Team (assonanze col Joe Bar Team assolutamente voluta), al momento del mio trasferimento all’estero.
E’ da un anno che volevo riprendere in mano il materiale e aggiornarlo, ma mi sono trovato in grosse difficolta’ per motivi di tempo. Quindi ora riprovo con questo blog, magari il lavoro risultera’ alleggerito dalla standardizzazione del formato delle pagine.
