The flu has caught up with me. I don’t feel ill or anything bad like that, but it has given me an excuse to do nothing. … like I need any excuses for that, though. But this time I don’t feel guilty about it so that’s like a whole new thing for me.
I have been watching movies for about twelve hours now. I just finished watching City of Angels. I remember when I first saw it. Gosh, I cried so hard! I was like:
why did she have to die? NO, he just got a life and he just started to feel things and then you take her away? No! what… what now… no… no-no-no he’s buying the pears! The PEARS! OH, the humanity! Why, god, why?!
And then I would watch it again, hoping that maybe this time things would go differently. As retarded as that sounds, that’s what I did. And then (surprise-surprise) it ended the same way. And I cried again. I gotta tell you I fought really hard not to break down this time. I wish I hadn’t. Now I have a headache.

A while ago I found this beautiful photo on the Internet.
At that time I just thought: wow, it looks so cool. I had no idea whose picture it was or why it was taken – I knew nothing at all. And then I completely forgot I had the picture.
Until one day I was at home, doing my best at being the worst couch potato ever, not wanting to go to bed, but being too damn tired to do anything else but watch TV. My remote control zapping stopped at History Channel. There was a show on about photography. I just watched and enjoyed and was totally mesmerized when they showed Sally Mann’s photos.
She had taken black and white photographs of her children. And the pictures were gorgeous, there was so much mystery about them. And then I saw it, the picture of the girl holding a cigarette. And I put two and two together. I have been in love with Sally Mann’s work ever since. She has an eye for things.
I especially love the Immediate Family series. I wish one day I will be able to document my family in such a way, with such honesty.

In the spirit of the vampire craze that’s been going around town, I wanted to watch anything and everything vampire on TV. So I checked out The Vampire Diaries.
I have to say that it was not as divine as True Blood and not quite as sexy as Twilight, but it grew on me. Nina Dobrev doesn’t have that uniqueness to her that I would love to see in the leading lady. Nina kind of just blends in with the cast of the Hills or whoever. You know, the girls who all look like each other and you can’t really tell who’s who.
Ok, I’m not being fair. She’s pretty and she’s nice. But I can’t help but feel like there’s something missing from the picture. It’s not unfixable, though. I feel there’s hope.
- I know that although my comments may seem critical, I will be hooked nonetheless when the next episode comes out. I’m a sucker for vampires and I‘m not ashamed to admit it. –
Does anyone else see that Katerina Graham looks like Hayden Panettiere dipped in chocolate? I do. And I like chocolate. I ate a whole bar yesterday by myself. It was not pretty.
The choice of Paul Wesley as the eternal 17-year-old is a mystery to me. He is hot and so on, but 17? Come on. NEVER. I would never ever believe that he is 17. I forget about Stefan’s age all the time and every time someone mentions it I laugh. And that’s sad.
And now to the yummy part: Damon. Holy Jesus and his socks! Ian Somerhalder is hot! Damon is so gorgeous he makes Stefan look like a sad little puppy. And puppies are cute, no argument there, but you wouldn’t really want to pet one like you would Damon, would you? No, you wouldn’t.
Because that would be illegal.

It’s almost here. I’ve got yummies in the oven, PB on the way with extra champagne and a headache sneaking at the back of my head. It’s all looking good.
I think Al and I are going to have a quiet evening together, with PB passing through, and then we’ll go and greet the new year in city centre. It’s only 5 minutes ride on the bus and we’re there so why not.
But you never really know how quiet an evening you’re going to spend until you wake up the next morning. Last time I thought I was going to have a nice quiet evening I woke up getting flashbacks of me and H staggering home at 4am, eating snow along the way. Not to worry – the thick snow had just fallen, so no yellow nowhere.
So what will the new year bring for me?
I will have my first meaningless and stricken with hopelessness twenty-something birthday.
With any luck I will graduate from university and get my BA degree.
Summer has to be spent working, but with the recession and everything I have no idea whatsoever how that’s going to work out.
And in autumn I will have to decide whether or not to go to school again. I would love to go and study something that I will actually be able to benefit from, something practical that will allow me to work with my hands. But, yet again, the recession has teeth and they might bite hard.
So who knows. But it will be a pretty interesting year, that 2010.

It seems that I’m on a roll with these art entries. I couldn’t help myself, I found this photorealist who painted butts. Women’s butts. And I have one of those! So I had to write about it and share some images.



At the risk of sounding kinky:
nice, eh?

It wasn’t as exciting as Twilight, but it was still pretty good. In the sense that it was a pretty good movie about hot people doing hot stuff, catering yet again to the immortal pubescent girlie girl dormant in my otherwise oh-so-grown-up self.
I did laugh though. Which makes me feel kind of good – to be able to laugh at that movie and therefore at myself (I have to say I have mastered that last skill).
I laughed when Edward (could somebody dim the lights and put some Barry on for this one?)…
…entered the scene in slow-mo…
…with his shirt open and left for the naughty wind to play with…
…looking sexy as hell, yet in a casual, effortless way that says: “I know I’m sizzlin’ hot… But I don’t care… Which makes me even hotter… But I don’t care… I’m just Edward…”
…and all the girls fell silent in the movie theatre. The silence was penetrated only by the little gasps given out from time to time from the lips of little girls in heat. I giggled my ass off. Eva shared my sense of humor. Thank God.
But I enjoyed the movie despite its lacking in plot, character development and other such itsy-bitsy details. I am not a fool: I knew exactly what it was I was going to watch when I bought the tickets. I wanted to see hot people doing hot stuff and hot was what I got. I got loads of hot. Truckloads.
So I am totally satisfied and ready for Eclipse.
PS I cannot get over Taylor Lautner’s bod. YUM-E!
