Study keeps well.
Job keeps well.
This evening I'm going to a theatrical show. I must write an article about it - interview the cast, smile and ask. Feeling your life's rich, feeling you're glancing here and there - feeling you're grabbing at several opportunities.

I bought a new notebook. (Moleskine addicted)

Not just any notebook, but a "legendary" one. It looks beautiful!

Look at "Exhibition in London". It drives you crazy to write - or draft - or something that includes a Moleskine. :P

Godmoooooooother.
Nicola is waiting for you, he knows I'm a sadistic writer.
But I've chosen the career of Torchia. Now I know what the hell he was doing in the 1630.

I think I'll write a post about Torchia's career and other stuff on the Italian account.
Please wait. :P

(English b.s. first:)

"to keep well" isn't used much, except to mean that food is resistant to spoiling. "This cheese keeps well in the refrigerator..." :)

Like in Italian, a common use is "to go well". "Study goes well" or "Study is going well".

If you want to imply that it "keeps going" well, meaning that it continues to go well, then you can say that. "Study keeps going well" (a little odd, but clear and correct), or "study continues to go well" (more common).

Otherwise great! You even correctly said, "...I can write something in which I believe." Most English speakers don't even get this right. People commonly (wrongly) say "...I can write something which i believe in." :/

The book is beautiful! There's something so nice about the act of writing on paper, and the aesthetics of it are very important. My poor paper journals get even less attention since i've been on LJ than they used to, but i do still cherish them and write in them from time to time.

HEM.
Ops.
Thanks. :P

I learned the form "in which": I'll use it until I'll die. :P

It's not an aesthetic issue.
Four years ago I sloshed Coca Cola on my Moleskine. Moleskine's leaves are thin like silk.
My Moleskine remained the same, not even a page went ruin.
God blesses Moleskine.

You love Italy, don't you?

:) I'm embarrassed to admit this, but i had this lesson hammered into me by a really dumb movie. In the movie, they made a joke where one character ordered another to "never end a sentence with a preposition!" Frankly, i've found it a good ground rule. If i find i'm about to end a sentence with a preposition, i stop myself, because chances are there's a form like "[preposition] which", or "[preposition] whom" that is more correct. (Exceptions include the more idiomatic forms like "to go out", "to come in", "to go by", "to fill in", etc.)

Wow... that's impressive. I should try to find one to look at over here sometime.

(English note: "ruin" can be a noun or a verb, but not an adjective unless its "-ed" is attached -- either "went to ruin" or "was ruined".)

I remembered a video game or rather a RPG in which I had read the word "ruined", and I thought it could be an adjective.

[ I worry that so much of it is silly ignorant fantasy, but sometimes i feel as if when i do finally see it, a small deep part of me will feel like i've come home. I hope that, someday, i'll get to find out.]
I don't know if you're right or maybe wrong, but I think you must visit Italy.
