Up to last year, to preserve my finances, I gave myself strict rules regarding money spent on Blu-Rays, and prevented myself from buying anything that cost more than €5 per film.

I’ve finally decided to embrace the Oscar season and try to watch the available Best Picture nominees that I wasn’t planning on seeing by my own choice.

I’ve been planning on writing a post about a few Italian songs I love for weeks, and the week of the Italian Song Festival feels like the best moment to publish it.

This week I was affected by some kind of light illness – not sure whether it was a cold or a flu, definitely not Covid; it wasn’t strong enough to keep me off work by day, but in the evenings I preferred to avoid anything new…

This week I played with the technology in my (home) life a bit more than on an average week, so I thought I’d share some of these changes and experiments.

Oscar season is here, and by that I mean, the period between the nominations announcement and the Academy Awards ceremony.
In the last few years, I have ‘accepted the (self-imposed) challenge’ to see all the films nominated for Best Picture before the winner is announced. This year it feels like a daunting goal.
