The last time we did an experiment: since Keren, the LAT, the Kam and had Ledy invented the game to write a duet of short stories, and we read any one in particular inspired me, so I have asked to be able to do the rewriting.

again. Yes, once again, yes : has happened yet. Maybe it's fatigue, I have concerns? Maybe. But I have to go back: they are there, lined up, quiet, property: always smile.

never turn your head to peek at all the people go by. And there are many in this period onwards. I choose more than one, usually two, three best. Then I line up to pay, like everyone, I come quickly to my house, I lock myself in the room, sometimes I keep up my coat and begin to undress, then get dressed. Adagio. Always the same gestures, the same smiling faces, some with open mouth, someone else just mentioned with a stretching of the lips. Arms up and arms down. Mani long, red nails, nails pink.
I prefer them brown hair, are in fashion this year. A beautiful black-charcoal. I dye them too, sooner or later. What I do not go down is that blonde that seems so plastic. So shiny. And when I touch them, sometimes their hair I have left in the hands of tufts.
Disgusting.
And their clothes for me are those vestments. With this cold weather there are those who only brings a sequined top, boots and a pair of shorts, even without socks. But as they do, I can not resist. With those necklines, then. I would have liked to try the purple jacket with a green scarf, but she did not want to get rid of and I know I was not able to take it away: it seemed sewn on.
is not the first time I understood.
I'm getting old, my fingers are more agile and subtle as ever.
Or is the cold.
Yes, I have to do something to warm them. To warm up. It's cold. Now turn a nice fire here, in the middle of the room. That's it, no fear, stop barking Ken, no one will get hurt, I do not need to repeat it, I know they will stand still, as always.
Why are not afraid of fire. They
, my little. My Barbies three hundred seventy-four.
What do you think? It 's very different from the original script, no doubt, I have served only the basic idea, which I liked a lot: that of an adult male who collects Barbie dolls. The rest has features quite different from the original, nearly putting the grotesque sometimes halfway between the comic and the quasi-horror.
We talked about a subject very Interestingly the last time, namely: books for those who will not read . It popped up some titles, such as Val (who reads a lot and know a lot of authors) suggested, among other Fear and loathing in Las Vegas , Hunter Thompson (Bompiani 2000 - location NA THO HUN) Sweet like chocolate , by Laura Esquivel (TEA 1998 - location NS ESQ LAU), The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, by Stephen King (Sperling & Kupfer 1999 - location NA KIN STE), the proposed Lju Man Archangel , Arthur Conan Doyle (Mondadori 1995 - DOY coolazione NI ART), the Keren a timeless Catcher in the Rye, by JD Salinger (Einaudi, 2004 - JER SAL NA location), and Eva Luna by Isabel Allende (Feltrinelli 1988 - location NS ALL ISA), the Kam The friend found , Fred Uhlman (Feltrinelli 1999 - location UHL NI FRE), I Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh (Bloomsbury Publishing 2004 - NI location WEL IRV).
here next Monday for a new bibliography in the library of new books have arrived Danila Comastri Montanari, so I decided to combine the his titles those of Margaret Doody, who shares with the other writer the choice of the setting of its detective plot: the classical world. Greece with Aristotle as an investigator for Margaret Doody, Imperial Rome with the senator Publius Aurelius Statius for the Italian author.
Here then:
