Summer Time

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 9, 2008, 12:27 PM
I'm done with my summer university exams, and I'm a free man almost until the end of August. Academic achievements have gone pretty good and now I'm ready to take on drawing and learning some new skills. So stay tuned for some new average in quality deviations...

P.S: I've reached the 5k visits. Thanks to every watcher and random visitor :bow:
I know that 5000 pagewiews are not so much, if compared to the average stats of other deviants, but hey, 5k is the half of 10k :)

P.P.S: Yes, the word of the week is "average".

Library Library Library

Once again I'm stuck ina library, like the good old days (february)!
I should be able to finish my loved/hated amount of university stuff for good, this time, but you can't even tell!
No updates for a while, then...

... then you could tell thet I didn't update my page ANYHOW even when I wasn't on my university frenzy. I can't tell nothing but "you're right": I'm a lazyass...

This is not a personal journal post: it's somekind of a favor I'm doing to a friend of mine and of course a favor to the ipotetical one who will answer the call...

ItalianPod Lead Teacher

As the leader of ItalianPod, you will be creating fun, exciting Italian lessons together with a native Italian-speaking Lead Host and delivering them to a virtually unlimited audience via podcast. This is an opportunity to teach in a communicative -- rather than grammar-driven -- way, to right the wrongs of the textbook-dominated classroom, and to re-kindle the enthusiasm that has been beaten out of students by years of outdated pedagogy. As a native English speaker, the insights you've gained in while mastering Italian are invaluable.
Go to [link] and listen -- the Lead Teacher is the male voice, JP, and the ItalianPod LeadTeacher will fill the same speaking role for Language.
Requirements:
• Native English speaker, with fluency of Italian acquired as an adult
• Masters Degree in linguistics, education, or Italian
• Teaching experience and strong academic foundations
• Experience teaching with new technologies
• Familiarity with computers and the Internet
• Intense dissatisfaction with the current state of Italian teaching
• An infectious passion for teaching and learning
This is a full-time position.

Doodle Time!

It's May 1st and so I had some spare time to update my forsaken DA page: some sketches have been uploaded, some new folders have been created and I also put on little more elaborated illustration.
Hope someone like them!

Leave me some comment, impression, critique...
I love feedbacks!

Another Carnival has passed by...

... and I was studying inside a non-carnivalish library. I even didn't notice it was Saint Valentine day (in fact, that day i had a Chinese Philosophy exam)

Back again, the few people that watched me would be pleased to see that I'm still alive. I promise that in the next weeks I'll do something for the lack of deviations of the past months.
What happened in this period of time, going from december to now? Not too much:

My logo for the Three is a Crowd (3IAC for future mentioning) has been copied by a badass graphic studio near my hometown, fortunately was for non-ecomomic purposes. I wrote him an email. I never received an answer. I wanted to complain a little without looking too emo.

I had a little pay raise from the shameful agency I work for, that's not bad :)

I had some exams, almost all of them had good results.

Now it's time to draw, learn new skills&tecniques, play videogames.

Even if I fear that playing videogames could take most of the time.
