Valerio Aspromonte from the fencing team ♥
All-Italian Podium!

I'm so happy!!! I really love fencing, this "triplette" really amused me, also if Valentina was just third ;_; ..!
--I wanted to post about this yesterday after I watched, but it took so long that I just went to sleep before I had the chance to watch the whole thing ^_^;
I must say that I really liked it! When it comes to music, England is probably the best place in the world, I screamed a bit when I heard Adele and Muse's songs, and well, from Beatles to Sex Pistols passing through Annie Lennox-- They could show off their musical heritage quite easily.
But of course, the most interesting bit of the Opening Ceremony is and will always be the parade of the Olympic delegations :D
I was impressed by how many cheers Australia, USA and Jamaica got XD
--And some people from African and Middle East countries, well-- They looked kinda scary.
I'm grateful that everyone can enjoy the Olympics as a moment to celebrate peace-- It's be cool if what happened during ancient times in Greece could apply to the modern world ._.
I was wondering what the delegations of Sirya, Congo or Angola were thinking while marching there... I was glad to see joyful expressions on the rappresentatives that managed to get there, though, besides all the troubles of their nations...
Now, on a more light-hearted side, let me share my thoughts on the delegations' uniforms..!
( Dae's opinion on the prettiest, the coolest and the most ethnic :D )
Also, I noticed that lots of standard bearers came from judo :D I found it really cool! It was fun to note that Japan's was from wrestling instead, LOL.
I'm absolutely glad with Italy's choice of Valentina Vezzali; she's a wonderful person and athlete, I just can't get enough of her getting proper compensation for her Olympic feats ;_; ♥
Not like that neurotic little asshole Pellegrini, for istance =_=;
I mean, I'm glad to see her win, but it's the kind of person I dislike the most >_>
And so, the first competitions started already-- I look forward to all wrestling/fighting matches, gymnastic, fencing and this year also weightlifting! The Italian rapresentative is a 17 years old boy (the youngest in our team), I MUST NOT MISS IT LOL
As for the team sports, I look forward to volleyball :3
--But in the end I assume that I will follow only those competitions that I'll manage to watch when I'm not working ._.;
Pretty clothes aside, what do you think about the polemics about the choice to not respect the minute of silence for the Israeli victims of Munich '70 during the opening ceremony..?
Personally, I agree with the choice. I don't think that such a serious moment would have fitted the festive mood of the ceremony, also if a bit dedicated to "death and life" was included in the show.
I also read that a minute of silence WAS shared already in the athlets village on Monday, so what?
Israel should think that maybe such a thing could be awkward for the representative of other nations, Palestine above all >_>;
Let me be honest: I have a very low opinion of nations like Palestine and Iran (AND NORTH KOREA), but Israel whining about everything everytime is just out of place =_=; Olympics should be a place were people share what they have in common by fair competition, not about what makes us different from each others by who's wrong and who's right :/
Always giving for granted that what Palestine did back then was ABOMINABLE, and of course Israel's pain is perfectly understandable...
And that's all!
I look forward to your opinions!

--It's been so hot, so I had no chance to work on the new pages yet ._.
I'll upload pag.7 of The Groom of the Shark on Wednesday, July 4, together with Tra i Fiori's update. Look forward to it, and sorry ;o; !
Also, a little note on yesterday match: AAARGH, MI CORAZOOOON T_T; !! I was expecting a defeat but not such an HUMILIATING defeat ;_; --IS IT PUNISHMENT BECAUSE I MADE FUN OF GERMAN FANS' PUREST TEARS?!! I STILL THINK THAT IT WAS TOO CRUEL ;_; !!
--Even if we can always complain about the fact that we had too little time to rest, that a good amount of our players were more or less injuried already... Really, that's NOT how you face such a strong team like Spain-- *is a sore loser XD*
Anyway, in a sense, the result was a perfect picture of the problems of our team: a worthless defense (that's what you get from Juventus-- Buffon can't do everything by himself!) and the lack of proper scorers. --Let's hope the in the next two years Prandelli will realize that (but I doubt he will =_=;)...
...AND NOW INTO THE OLYMPICS :DDDD

I finished reading the third part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventures, "Stardust Crusaders".
It was really good :D I like everyone the same, but I must say that my favourite character was Polnareff:
He's not your classic bishounen (in fact he's a bit to draw, at least for me T_T;), but he really won my heart :D !
Speaking of football, if I saw another GLIMPSE of the Match of the Century on TV, I'm going to get SEIZURES!!!
Isn't it going to jinx the match?! Everyone keeps talking about Destiny and Eurobonds while I just want to disappear T_T; ARGH, SUCH ANXIETY T___T; --THIS DAMN SPORT IS GOING TO KILL ME T____T; !!!
I wish I were German for those puny 90 minutes, so I'd be sure to win and wouldn't face all THIS SUFFERIIIIIIING!
Also, a good number of Spring anime that I was following are already over :3 I'll make a post as soon as the last episode of Sakamichi noMoe Apollon is released and I manage to watch it, for a comprehensive discussion :D
Meanwhile, I downloaded the RAWs of Zetman volume 17-- I WANNA SEE HOW MUCH OF THE ANIME IS HAPPENING IN THE MANGA!! I CONFESS YOU THAT I'M A BIT SHOCKED ;_; !!
