I went to see Hairspray today (in Italy the movies come out pretty slow) and I went in not knowing it was a musical. Ok, I guess I’m a bit dull…

Apart from too many songs (well, that’s why it’s considered a musical), I’d have to say the movie was quite good! You just gotta love John Travolta, even as a woman.

Would you say this movie is overrated? If so, what’s your favorite musical?

For me, it’s Grease… Well, that’s actually the only other musical I’ve ever seen in my life

LOL July 20th… Wow, Italy really is slow!

All of you TV series addicts (like me) will surely agree on this: They have so many damn good quotes! No explanations needed.
Probably two of my favorite all-time TV series quotes are:

1. From One Tree Hill: “At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes…all you need is one.”

2. From Sex and the City: “If you find someone to love the you you love, well…that’s just fabulous.”

I think ‘love’ is the most important aspect of life. A baby needs love and affection to survive, just as adults need to have someone to depend on. And with love comes all of the other aspects of life.

How about you? What do you think?

O.J Simpson is once again back on headlines. This time though, he has been accused of armed theft of sports souvenirs (which he claimed they belong to him) from memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room. He actually said in an interview, “I thought what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.” No comment, O.J.

As most of you know, this is the star athlete who was found innocent of the 1994 killing of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Yes, “found innocent” … but this issue will always remain a question mark.

Look on the bright side, at least this time he didn’t kill anyone!

At 0840 GMT today, a passenger plane of the budget airline One-Two-Go slid out of runway and crashed with trees in Thailand’s southern Phuket airport causing many casualties. The aircraft was said to have 128 passengers and crew, and out of those, approximately 60 people were found dead and 40 missing. Around half of the passengers were foreigners, mostly Europeans. Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and an extremely popular resort destination, a place that was also affected by the Tsunami disaster in 2004.

The aircraft broke into two pieces during the crash while landing. The accident was said to be caused by slippery runway after heavy rains.

Deaths that were caused by nature, how can that be justified?
Let’s keep the victims and families in our prayers.
