Hi all, fellow ex and new readers!

As first good 2009 proposal, i decided to restart blogging… but not in Italian this time! (at least, not only in Italian…)
I never had a not Italian blog, so please don’t hate me if my written English is not so good: i’ll improve it (with your help, i whish!)

Have a nice 2009!
