I'm back it's not yaoi, it's Japanese rorschach
It's done. I have:
- Ticket Milan-Tokyo & Tokyo-Milan
- Japan Rail Pass
- Lonely Planet guide for Japan (really useful, but it's so expansive and it's so heavy: they made it with metal?)
- reservation for hotel in Tokyo , Hakone and Kyoto .
This summer I will go to Japan!
4-5-6 August: Tokyo (maybe a trip in a near city)
7 August: Hakone
8-9 August : Kyoto
10 August: Osaka
11 August: Kobe
12 August: Kyoto
13-16 August: T okyo (maybe a trip in a near city, most probably shopping, shopping and shopping again XD)
17 August: departure
Thinking about those happy days, but also considering my inexistent spatial orientation, I have found this fantastic site that show with pictures how to arrive to Otome Road, the street of yaoi.
But there are a couple of problems:
1) My sister and a friend of mine are coming with me and they don't know I like yaoi.
2) The custom!!! What will I say to the policeman that, looking in my suitcase, will find tons of books with beautiful and young man loving each other?
I have to find alibi:
1) "but, in Japan this is art!!!!"
2) "come on, it isn't dope!"
3) "maybe you don't know, but this is the ultimate fashion trend. Wanna try?"
4) "it's all for psychological research... never heard about the coming soon book "the secrets of a yaoi fangirl? No?I will be glad to sent to you and your beautiful lady a free copy"
5) "Actually it is the japanese Rorschach test: they seem to you two boys that are doing sinful acts, but it's your mind that make you think this: actually it's a basket of fruit " XD

Whyt Do Greenbeans Spark
yaoi goodbye, but ...
Today finally arrived the order I made 40 days ago:
Caged Slave
Don't Worry Mama
Gentle Cage
Junjo Romantica, Volume 6-7-8-9
Love Mode, Volume 11
Man Who Doesn't Take Off His Clothes: Volume 2
All in english, of course. In my country we will never see a yaoi.
But there is a problem: I have ordered also Love Mode volume 10
but unfortunally is out of stock and I can't find it ç__ç
I have searched for it EVERYWHERE: amazon.com, amazon.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr also amazon.jp but nothing ç___ç
I don't think Love Mode 10 will be reprint.
Blu Manga had problem to find the money to publish vol 11...
It's so frustrating and I hate that my collection isn't complete.

Can You Tie Dye A Saddle Pad
"La bellezza è crudele"
"The bloodshed is horrendous thing," said Julian quickly (the observation on the common cracker was sorry) "but the bloody songs of Homer and Aeschylus are often the most beautiful, for example , the immortal monologue Clytemnestra in 'Agamemnon that I love so much. Camilla, you were our Clytemnestra when we made the Orestiadi ; you remember anything? "
the light flooding through the window, in the face, and in a light so intense, most people seem a bit 'washed out , but his pure, fine features were rather shocking to look at, its eyes clear and bright under dark brows, the temples and the golden reflection that was gradually to disperse the foliage bright, warm as honey. "I remember a bit, 'he said.
watching a spot on the wall above my head, he began to recite the verses. Stared at her. She had a boyfriend? Francis, perhaps? He and she were quite similar, but Francis did not seem the type to be interested in girls. Not that I had high hopes, as he was surrounded by all those young smart and rich, dark clothing by: me, with my hands and my clumsy ways suburban.
His voice was robust in greek, low and lovely.
Thus died, and life ran away from him;
and as she died, I jumped violently
of the red rain of his bitter blood
making me happy, as the gardens are glorious
between the showers of divine birth shoots. When Camilla
ended, there was a brief silence, and, to my amazement, the Henry severely squeezed the eye from the other end of the table.
Julian smiled: "A beautiful passage. I do not never get tired. How could something so horrible, a queen who stabs her husband in the bathroom, both for us so beautiful? ".
"It meter, "said Francis. "The trimeters iambic. Those parts of truly horrifying ' Inferno, for example, Pier da Medicina, without speaking through his nose and a cut in the trachea bloody ... "
" I can think of worse, "interjected Camilla.
"Me too. But that passage is fascinating because of terza rima. Her music! The trimeters resonates in the monologue of Clytemnestra as a bell. "
" But trimeters iambic is quite common in Greek lyric poetry, no? "Said Julian. "Why is so breathtaking that particular passage? Why do not we attract something more relaxed and more bland? "
" Aristotle says in Poetics "said Henry," that objects such as corpses, painful to the eye itself, can become pleasant to contemplate work of art. "
" And I believe that Aristotle is right. After all, what scenes of poetry remain etched in our memory, what we love most? Just this: the murder of Agamemnon and the wrath of Achilles, Dido on the funeral pyre, the daggers of the traitors and the blood of Caesar ... Remember how Suetonius describes his body taken away in the trash, one arm hanging down? "
" Death is the mother of beauty, "said Henry.
"And what is beauty?"
"Terror."
"said Ben," said Julian. "Beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the opposite. True beauty is always a bit 'disturbing'.
Camilla looked, her face shining in the sun, and I thought of that verse of the Iliad that I love so much, at Pallas Athena and his terrible eyes blazing.
'E se bellezza è terrore, »proseguì Julian« cos'è allora il desiderio? Riteniamo di avere molti desideri, ma di fatto ne abbiamo soltanto uno. Qual è? »
« Vivere »rispose Camilla.
«Vivere per sempre »
