+==== Alea Iacta Est ====
+
+As promised...  Yes, indeed.  Everybody please cross their fingers.
+
+Babbo:Pregherò perchè tu possa ottenere quello che cerchi.
+
+Camy:  Mannaggia a voi due ( Bernie e Alberto ) siete cosi..."teneri". Come ho già detto tante volte a Bernie, è fortunato ad avere un babbo cosi! Lo so, lo so che non c'entra nulla con lo stile di questo blog, ma io sono cosi, impulsiva e Bernie lo sa e mi perdonerà.
+A dire il vero anch'io sto in ansia per lui :-) speriamo bene...

+==== International Dinner ====
+
+FedericoLucifredi and his wife Irena were so kind to invite me at their place for a
+fine dinner with appetizers, SirloinSteak (see pic below), several side
+dishes and... Even a PinotNoir!
+
+http://www.fairburysteaks.com/images/bci-sirloin-round-bone.gif
+
+There were also Mauro -- Federico's colleague at Ximian -- and Irena's
+friend who's a physics professor from Providence and could speak perfect
+French and, surprisingly, even Italian!
+
+What can I say?  I think I got a pound or two that night, but it was
+worth it! :-)

+==== Cinema ====
+
+There's a cinema in building 26 @ EmAiTee, and it's cheap.
+I'm going tonight.
+
+==== Cursious? ====
+
+If you're curious, my room rent is $500 per month.  Utilities,
+ forniture and DSL Internet access are included.
+
+It's not cheap, but it's also not too expensive for Boston.
+They told me that only Manhattan is more expensive here on
+the east coast.
+
+==== CurriculumVitae ====
+
+...is almost ready.  A friend told me that I'd better have
+also a synthetic resume of 1-2 pages for the impatient.
+I think he's right.
+
+Well, I said I'd be finished by last Monday, but then I
+managed to slip past my own deadline visiting NewYorkCity,
+moving in my current room and in other frivolous ways.
+
+Now I have no excuses: the time has come.  Next Monday I
+''will'' write my proposal.  Seriously.
+
+=== Fri, 4th ===
+
+==== Exchange Rates ====
+
+Looks like I'd better convert all my money to dollars *now*:
+
+ http://www.x-rates.com/d/USD/EUR/graph30.html
+
+What do you think about it?
+
+Babbo:penso che $ continuerà a svalutare. Perderai soldi.
