Twittervention Time. Arrivederci! – Natali Del Conte

Twittervention Time. Arrivederci!

I am launching a self-imposed digital quarantine. I’ve been working way too much without a break since August, which was the last time I took time off for my birthday. All evidence in recent months points to delirium: stomach flu, glass in foot, forgetting ATM pin, breaking wine glasses, and allowing myself to be way too easily provoked.

I am off to meet my mom and sister for an Italian vacation. I will be back in 10 days and I am going to try not to Twitter or Facebook or do any other digital posting. Or at least keep it to a minimum. I can’t really expect that I am capable of going cold turkey. And of course I’ll share Flip videos and photos when I return. Or at least a select few.

Arrivaderci!

    Damn but you have a lot of people following your every word...

    Have fun on your vacation. Try FreeRealms when you get back, it's not a virtual world, it's a game. It's like World of Warcraft with Sims-style graphics, aimed for kids but adults will like it as well. Fun for the whole family.

    Watching you recently on BOL, it's become so clear that you've poured massive effort into hosting it. I don't just mean the skill as a broadcaster but also the surrounding mass of data a tech journalist has to be aware of. Being able to hold your own with Tom Merritt is quite an achievement and I can really understand the toll this must have taken on you to get to the polished standard you're at now on BOL.

    Hope you recharge and have a great time away. It sounds like you really deserve the break.

    I heard it's pretty expensive it is over there so be wary. And watch out for pickpockets. Be safe chica and have a great trip.

    Natali,
    Have a great time in Italy! You should unplug totally while on your vacation and enjoy yourself and family. I don't know you personally, but it seems that you certainly deserve this time out.
    Have a ball girl!!!

    If I were single, I'd be arranging a road trip to Italy right now to see if you were as endearing in real life and try to make off with you.
    Have a great trip to the Old Country :)

    Natali:

    Yes, it does sound like a very good time for a vacation. Lots of change (new show, new apartment, etc) creates stress (whether change is welcome or not).

    You are always "on", so this is your chance to get off stage for a while, eat lots of pasta, flirt with Italian men and laugh with your family.

    Come back to BOL refreshed. :0)

    Rock on! I'm sure you will have lots of stories. Maybe you will meet a nice Italian boy while you're being a tourist! ;-)

    Hope you're getting to go to my favorite cities in the world: Florence, Venice, and Rome. I am, to say the least, a little bit jealous!
    Arrivederci!
