I did not write in this diary in a long time. I learned so much Italian, but I do not have time to use it or write about it. So I started reading "The Day", an Italian newspaper kiosks, for megliorare my vocabulary, and 'look for things where I can talk. ('Cause there are just times when you can' speak in his day, no?)

And 'interesting to read about non-classical composers. Of course I know a lot of Berio and Dallapiccola, our composers' popular in the twentieth century. But the composers' popular soundtracks are Americans ('cause, of course, the Americans are all the more' great film.) I think the differences between American and Italian soundtracks. They are different? I think the Italians are very different film - like make fun of some things ... in america, we do not have that sense of humor.
