Dar es Salaam revisited…
2008.11.26
Yep, still here in sunny, really warm Dar for the MF seminar. I hear it is cold/snowy/rainy back in Roma (really sorry about that guys–maybe it is some sort of divine intervention). I just finished reading a sequel to White Masai and like they say about all sequels–just not the same high. So, now on to Eat, Pray, Love which is quite witty in a neurotic, pre-gonna-slit-my wrists kind of way. Anyone else read any good books lately?

On Saturday, September 6th Madonna came to Roma.
I must admit to feeling really old having started listening to her in the era of Lucky Star and Borderline. In fact, I remember my friend Zan having the single record of Borderline that we listened to over and over again before bolting off to […]- Filed under: Art & culture, Madonna
- The re-entry is the hardest part …

Am-Girl is officially back in Italy and at work, a potentially lethal combination, but I have discovered with the passing of the years that it is absolutely imperative to not, I repeat not return on a Monday. Additionally, a re-entry strategically planned for the last week of August, while other monsters, I mean colleagues […]
