Heat, deadly heat!
Posted By Luana on July 16, 2010
A full day today, so many things to do:
- Characters sites (massive updates)
- updating my sites
- write a total of 25 reviews (or a bit less, I have to check)
- continue reading Virginia Woolf’s “A Writer’s Diary”
- continue a short story and write a draft of a sci-fi diary-novel
I need to finish this stuff within tomorrow night, more or less. I finished coloring Talla‘s profile picture today (it’s on her site). And on Sunday I need to do some massive work on 2 art commissions and 1 picture for a friend who gets easily depressed if I don’t hand her the picture within the month. If only the heat would stop beating me down so BADLY! 
It’s like dying, really. This is the reason why I hate summer: it would be such a great season if the heat wasn’t so suffocating! And I always have so many things to do in summer, and the heat and humidity get in the middle. ARGH.
I was reading a few news headlines on Yahoo! homepage. Movie trailers, the World Cup and “Eclipse” parodies. No suicidals cases or other cruent stuff of that kind, thankfully. There was also this blog, called “abdul rahman el assir” (I don’t know why such a name, but oh well, it’s yet another news source for those who are interested) with plenty of news headers, worldwide news I mean. Just some reading to get update over the world events. Yes, I try to avoid it as a plague, but I need to give it a weekly read at least. I’m still too sensitive to watch news on TV; there is too much crudeness, too much violence, for my heart and stomach to stand.
Regarding the Twilight saga: perhaps I’ll borrow the first two books from Simone. I prefer books to movies, and of course I can’t go watch Eclipse if I haven’t watched the first two films, or at least read the first two books. I’m not much into vampire stories, and I don’t like the fanatism-centered fandom that was created around the series, but I want to give it a try; Simone told me the books are romance-centered, and that’s something interesting to me, vampires or not. I’m curious. 
About the author
Hi! My name is Luana. I'm a 25 years old Italian girl living in a province of Rome.
I'm married to my one and only Transformer hubby: 
That’s the reason I wanted to watch the first movie. It looked interesting and everybody was talking about it. So I watched it to see what all the hub bub was about and now I love them.
You have to try somethign for yourself to see what it’s like first instead of letting people make up your mind for you. I think you’ll enjoy them. :0

Haha thanks for the compliment. I plan to design a simple layout for the fanlisting. I actually want to have an idea to create a nice layout for it but I’m afraid I may not have the time to do it.
Awh, good luck with the art commissions! Your artworks always amaze me. They are superb and very well done.
Abdul Rahman actually means ‘Servant of the Merciful One(God)’ where Abdul refers to servant and Rahman means merciful. But I don’t know what el assir means.
I too, don’t like the fanatism surrounding the Twilight saga. People are making too much of a fuss about it.

My mum is always telling me to read more news and watch the news. She thinks my general knowledge about world events sucks. It really does (which is why I don’t even know what the election in Australia is for, haha). D: But I don’t have the same reasons as you for not watching. I just don’t think it’s interesting, and since doing a unit on “Truth” in my last year of high school, I have hated the media with a passion. They simply exaggerate and make a big deal out of what would be otherwise normal occurrences, just to get viewers on television and to get attention. :|
I do read a bit of new on the internet but I must stress that it is only a bit!
I hate summer as well. In Australia it gets really hot and it just makes me really restless. =_= Not to mention… to-do lists! Which I have a lot of. It seems to be neverending, which is disappointing, but at least it gives me something to do, for the most part. :3
I’m not really into vampire stories either. I thought Twilight was okay, and the series (haven’t read the last book though)… but it seems that the movies are getting way too much hype. I haven’t seen any of them and I’m sick of hearing about it that I don’t WANT to see it.

i’ve never been a big ‘reader’ so i always liked watching the movies over reading the book but it has to be good, since a BUNCHH of people have been obsessing over that series haha

I see you’re keeping busy. You guys don’t have air conditioning? I haven’t read or watched any of the Twilight saga, because I don’t go for the romance genre.
