Ho ricevuto un paio di email preoccupate da parte di amici che abitano lontano e che non mi vedono su questo blog da un paio di mesi, perciò ho deciso di riprendere la tastiera per scrivere qualcosa... cosa esattamente non lo so nemmeno io. Se non aggiorno il blog da un pò di tempo non è perchè mi siano successe chissà quali disgrazie. Al contrario, se non scrivo è perchè non anything happens to me. The sedentary lifestyle and lack of travel bore me to death, but that is precisely what is happening in this period. Of course, we moved recently to a new city and we are still trying to acclimate and (soprattutto!) to buy a car, which would make our lives a little more varied. While waiting for the turn, however, we do life and neighborhood pool. I can not call myself unsatisfied, no, but I miss the variety of scenarios and humanity to which I was accustomed to San Francisco. Our neighborhood of Los Angeles is a bit too white and western for my taste, although it does what it can to give himself a shot of multicultural diversity (a Korean concert hall, a Mexican-Indian fusion restaurant, a cute little Japanese cafe on the corner). In this city very accessible to a pedestrian I also lost my daily points of reference: I would not know where to buy trivial things like yeast, the pillow for a carbonara or cheese that has the consistency of Yocca. I know, it takes patience, but I am a person known to be devoid of this virtue. One thing, however, I can tell completely satisfied with the Italians I met in LA definitely give a track to that of San Francisco. It will be in the Bay Area that were almost all a bit highbrow and with phenomenal scholarships, so all in all little interest in friendship with a freelance journalist who writes (horrors!) video games. Now that Fabrizio prepares to leave the Bay, I would feel really short of interesting Italian to attend if I lived there again. Here, however, the archetype of the university researcher is replaced by the waiter aspiring actor. It 'a category that does not attend, but outside of this area have known blogger and regular commentator with whom I went immediately agreed. I saw availability, kindness and wanted to go without the initiative always went away from me, I participated in conversations that would go beyond the formality of the usual questions like "How long have you lived in United States? How come you moved here? ". I saw the daily reality of people who live here and there that are more or less struggling to build a life, a career and a family. I found support and desire to open up and I felt a little closer to the "good" parts of Italy that I miss a little, especially after having had to skip the traditional annual visit to the family. On this basis I think I can bear even a temporary lack of own transport (and on those public sooner or later I'll write a separate post, that there is to tell!).
