When Elisa is bored, she could be dangerous...

[reviews_and_ramblings]

... first of all since I start to speak of my self in third point of view!

Today I'm bored...

I changed a bit the layout of my LJ, added a slideshow of the books I will bring with me in California to be signed... a thing utterly useless, but I'm bored...

I edited all my post with "reviews" tag to add the info on the books part of a series, listing all the books in the series and the link to my previous post on that books... I'm bored

I updated the Top M/M romance list and decided to post an "author in the spotlight" every week (on sunday morning perhaps), starting from the top of the list, but I will not post today since it's too recent the last post about the list, and I don't want to bothering you... I'm bored

In half an hour I will be out and go home, and soon after I will go to the theatre to see a very "light" comedy, nothing of committed... hope to not be bored when I will be again at home...

Any hint on what I can do to not be so bored?

Yes, Giulia is a bit of Irish, isn't she?... actually my family origins from father is French and German (with a bit of Austria) and from mother should be Spanish (spanish jewish)

Yes, Giulia is a bit of Irish, isn't she?...

I could say also Dutch-German or Nordic :) But surely Celtic.
So we two have almost same origins except for French :D Surprise!

Oh well, but mine origins is very far! My family is Italian since the nineteen century. My father's family was from Piemonte, and before that from Savoia (now French territory). But the name is uncertain, there is also a town named Rolle in Switzerland, and also a mystic poet named Michel Rolle in England in the thirteen century... Anyway always from my father's branch, I have also an Austrian grand-grand-parents, since in Veneto in the eighteen century the government was Austrian.

Instead from my mother's family we only know that the name was "invented" in the sixteen century by a jewish converted to the catholicism who wanted to lose his jewish origin. Probably he was from Spain.

It's very interesting and fantastic!

>and also a mystic poet named Michel Rolle in England in the thirteen century...

Weird. I don't know if "Rolle" is common surname like Rossi or Tosi or Moretti(I'm not sure for spelling, but you can find them even in Austria), but it sounds unique to me.

>the name was "invented" in the sixteen century by a jewish converted to the catholicism who wanted to lose his jewish origin.

This reminds me a film of Jewish people in Spain(but I hadn't patience to see it completely).

When I visited Nagasaki, I found a lot of relics and traces of Dutch/Spanish/Portugal culture from 17th century. I enjoyed Dutch influenced cuisine and Spanish-Portugal sweets there. I wondered if somebody of my ancestors has visited in past, because I had a kind of deja vu. Most of Japanese-Dutch children had immigrated into Indonesia because of religion.

History has really fun :)

Yes, history is very fun. And no Rolle it's not a common surname. Just today I need to go to a family reunion, we make them every ten year more or less, and collect all the "Rolle" from all around. Usually we are a hundreds of people.

Actually I like this things, but today I'm not in the mood...
