Why is it called Cath Shower Inspired?


I hate it when i'm just there, taking a shower, having the best thoughts i could ever elaborate.. I wish i could write them down as they kept going superfast, IF ONLY I HAD MY LAPTOP WITH ME.
The magic power of the shower has to be exploited!!! They should invent a waterproof laptop cover as the iphone one!!! HAHAHA  can you imagine?

Naked person standing in the "thinking shower" which has an apposite little table for the waterproof laptop, no, WAIT. wtf. 

I had this idea during my shower time, but i realized now that it is actually a super epic FAIL. You could simply use a smartphone covered in a waterproof mask. I guess i just had a weird scenario in my mind and thought i was a genius. But somehow i think that it would be easier to write with your computer if covered, rather than the flat screen of your mobile.

By the way this is the actual meaning of this blog's name. I am, one of those people who take long showers.

No i'm joking, i am quite fast, but i guess you got the meaning already! The best ideas come from the bathroom!!!!
Okay stop with the nonsense, but it should be scientifically demonstrated that when you have a shower, the most ingenious thoughts pop out. It can be anything, from the best comebacks to discussions to realizations of life and universe.

Everytime i have a shower i wish i could have a recorder in my mind, so that i could remember all my self monologues because in the right moment i get out of the shower, my attention goes immediately into something else, like the action of dressing or the chilly air outside and i just forget EVERYTHING, or at least almost everything!!

I kinda hate my memory, it records like the MOST INSIGNIFICANT things in this world. Seriously. Like, what was i wearing on newyear's eve.......8years ago. WHY SHOULD I KNOW IT?!?!? I can't think of other examples right now but really, it happens quite often that my friends ask me HOW and WHY i remember this and that, little useless particulars that no one cares about. If only my brain could store some more useful information instead of keeping those nonsense memories, maybe i could be a supergenius able to elaborate the answer to the most mystical and frequently asked question in this world: 
To be, or not to be?


All this just to say that i brainstormed while showering, tried to remember all i could and wrote it down!! I also have a little notebook for my genius realizations, but it eventually became my daily journal...that i don't use so daily at all.


Oh right, I'd also like to specify that the font used for my blog titles and pages is Calligraffity. Since i've found out recently from my sister's computer, which has Windows running, that the font used shows up as Comic Sans. I don't know why, but, i mean.. COMIC SANS... is like... the most hated font of this entire decade. I imagine people entering my blog, seeing comics sans and just conclude as "she uses the prohibited font, i should close this window and delete it from my browser history". 

Okay a bit exaggerated but there are people that narrow out there right?? I don't actually understand why people hate it so much, i remember there was a period like in 2007 where it was such a trend!! All my friends on msn were using it LOL, me as well! Some say that it is supposed to be for comics and think it is misplaced out of that context, but as we are now, we all choose the fonts based on their look and not on its initial use anymore, so what's the point?? I wanted to be clear since i don't like the fact that you see my blog styled differently from how i styled it, because it should reflect my tastes!! My great tastebuds.

With that said, i salute you.

American 1950 Diner

I've heard a lot about this restaurant called 

"American 1950 Diner"

from my friends, but never had the chance to go since it is in Florence. That's why during my holidays in Florence i was super curious to get there!


The place is designed as a 50's American little fastfood/restaurant, one of those i've seen in movies with cute waitress wearing little dresses and roller-skates (i'm not sure if it is the right word) and waiters wearing some kind of sailor uniform! So cool!!!

(pictures stolen from my super picssnapper friend)

Let's move onto the food!

American diner menu
stylish menus

American diner milkshake
Milkshake
Loved the whipped cream but the actual milkshake was a bit favourless

nachos from American Diner
Nachos
Delicious sauces!!! yumyum

Burgers from American Diner
different kinds of huge hamburgers
It all comes in this little chest, so americanish!! We all chose different types of burgers so we could see the variety! There's also an intruder hotdog.

Bismarck hamburger
bismarck hamburger
This is my burger! I love fried eggs with raw yolk, so i chose this! To tell the truth i was a bit disappointed, looks super yummy but tastes like nothing. I guess it would have been better if in addition it had some special sauce.


Overall i like this place because it has some special atmosphere in it, but don't like the food so much, or at least the burgers! My cousin Jessica actually told me that she usually orders beef and other stuff and those are quite good!

We also chose the wrong day to go there since it was Easter Monday  and it was SO FULL of people. The staff were also half the original number and the waitresses were crazingly running on those rollers, i can't even imagine how many times i'd fall with them! So i don't really feel like complaining about the service. I totally understand as on weekend i work as a waitress as well!

I wanted to take more pictures with the cool location, it also has an old car inside, but really, too many people! Supercrazy


Cath shower inspired
Hellou people!
The girl behind me is Jessica, my cousin and bff haha Super weird face in here maybe i shouldn't have post it. She'll kill me. Well i guess you'll see better pictures of her in future

Italian Food + Awesome game "Freeing"!

Let's share some food pics, as they are never enough!

I know it's not Easter anymore, but had no time to post it before. Ate at an italian restaurant for dinner that evening! Pictures not XL because bad quality la.

Actually it feels a bit weird to take pictures of everything when out with friends. How do other bloggers do?? Such a pain in the butt. Super anti-social being there...taking pictures of this and that, bothering others hahaha

antipasto misto crocchette
antipasto misto mare caldo
a typical tuscan dish, pappardelle al cinghiale
received a little kinder surprise egg from a friend, one does not simply stop eat kinder chocolate.

paccheri con polipetti
spaghetti allo scoglio bianco
torta con stracchino e mandorle
torta al frutto della passione

bunch of people eating fancy stuff and drinking white wine pretending to be classy, HAHAH



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

After dinner we decided to try a game called Freeing in a new opened place. 



How it works: this place has some rooms, each room has a story that you have to "solve" in 45 mins. Since it is newly opened it only has 4 stories, we chose Studio Capovolto, which is a criminal case where we were the detectives! Felt like Conan

As a typical crime scene, a person died and we had to find who killed this person, why and moreover we had to find a key to get out of the room.

There were lockers, drawers, pictures, some papers with pieces of suspects' stories... it was pretty hard. Full of enigmas. In fact, we didn't solve the case.

We are failure detectives...so sad. But at least we found the key to get out, it's something! It actually began to be a bit scary to be in there, when you really get in the story and impersonate your role...creepy place and clues


I really liked it! I find it as something highly innovative here in Italy, usually the majority of italian people are not so interested in this kind of "childish" stuff, in fact the shop is opened by chinese people... Apparently there are a lot of these in China since ages!! People don't really go out to play games here, but i think this is great way to spend time with friends.

OKAY BYE

Happy Easter + Easter on Animal Crossing New Leaf

I just wanted to wish Happy Easter everyone!!! 


I know it's already Easter Monday but i didn't have much time yesterday to write this post. Now i'm in Florence for my Easter holidayss! I come here every year... It is actually the place where i grew up! I have friends and family here, so i always feel very welcomed and nostalgic...


I'm staying for an entire week, but i'll be sure to take a lot of pictures to post hehe, cameras ready!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I had 1.30h of spare time during my train trip from Rome to Florence, i didn't have any books and i forgot my earphones, so i played my beloved Animal Crossing the whole time.
I think i completed the Easter quest almost 100%! So here i'm sharing some tips and facts about this special holiday game!


If you missed this special event i recommend to switch your DS' day into yesterdays'!
(in this case i don't consider it a cheating, not everyone had the time to play)





You can collect 6 different eggs in 6 different ways:
-digging
-breaking rocks
-shaking trees
-hit balloons with the slingshot
-fishing
-diving

There's a limited quantity of them, but they are easy to find and are still a lot! 



Yay caught this fishy i didn't have yet in my enciclopedia, but how about eggs?

Ta-daa! Got an egg too! This is actually my favorite, so cute looks like a little mermaid's tail!

Time to dive



After giving an egg of each type to Zipper, you'll receive an easter basket! Supercute!!
You can also eat the eggs, inside of them you can find either a prize ticket or a candy.



You can find ants if you drop a candy on the floor and wait! They'll appear after a while.
You'll get an egg forniture from exchanging the prize ticket, extremely cute and pastel!! While the grand-prize ticket will get you a picture of Zipper! Creepy bunny.

My Easter themed room:








Took me forever to make this post, i'm literally doing this and that nonstop!! Having fun has a price, no time to sleep or relax a bit! haha I'll post all the pictures taken here in Florence in my next posts, did a photoshoot today! ;)


I hope you liked this post even if you're not an ACNL player! I had fun writing this little comics, the face expressions are so hilarious!! If you're in holiday like me, happy holidays. HAVE FUN!

I get tired of clothing items so easily, plus fashion trends change so fast, that i only shop at cheap brands ✩⃛˞(๑ꆨ৺ꉺ๑)

That's how i bought all this stuff!

Actually when i got home i realized i didn't buy so many things at all, but their variety deceived me haha


clothes, accessories, makeup, books, nail polish
