Oh wow...

I can't believe the time...

I have been sending email and receiving email, and looking for webpage making materials for HOURS now... Amazing what happens when one becomes very absorbed...

I have a new webpage making project and I am trying to gather inspiration and well, I have a thing for email... I never did get instant messengers or chat, you can't multitask with them...

And I like multi-things... *wicked wink*

Bedtime for me! Olivia, the absolute babest, will be on TV tomorrow, and I must get my beauty sleep...


Brrrr, cold...

I think winter is finally arriving... Well the colder part of winter anyway...

So I managed to do 29 Christmas cards today, Martha Stewart would be so proud...

Never did get any pasta made, I got into a bad mood when I was in the house, which does not bode well for any kind of cooking... I might end up throwing cutlery and pots and scaring the dogs...

Speaking of dogs, my puppy can now easily jump the fence that used to keep him confined to my porch... Oh boy... Wait 'til his testicles drop completely and he catches the scent of a bitch in heat...

Well, he is a hound dog...


Thursday!!

Think I will go into the house and make some pasta!

I also need to buy or make or something, some Christmas cards... Oh boy... I only have about 20 to send, well ok, maybe 30, but for some reason, I get to procrastinating at this time of year...

I wonder how inappropriate e-cards are, really?

Hmmm... I'm a 21st Century woman, really...

Tomorrow is Friday, Olivia baybe! She's actually pregnant now, but we are about 2 or 3 or even 4 seasons behind here, so we won't get the season with lots of head-shots until some other year...

I wonder when the second season of The L Word will be brought to regular TV, or will they repeat the first season?

Random thunking...


Ooo, yah!

Yehup, Jorja Fox and Louise Lombard do be Hot with a capital H, women...

Also, to my delight, they are repeating Karen Sisco on TV this season. It's a pity the show never took off, but it is not surprising.

As with the movie: The Long Kiss Goodnight, the concept of a powerful, competent, kick-ass woman, was just a little too much. Just to name one movie where this happened...

I hope they bring Witchblade to Finland one of these years. There is another show, where a drop dead sexy woman, plays a kick-ass role... The show also flopped, but oooh, it was worth watching...

I am biased, I love women and I adore it when they play roles that are centred around their brains, and not just their bodies...


Paint, coffee and weather...

Indeed, I have crept away for a few moments, it seems there is a break in the painting, which is always nice...

Now, a while ago, I mentioned stories and sharing them...

Well... 'Rain' is one of my aliases, distinguished by the fact that I chose it for myself, versus had it thrust upon me or somehow given to me... Which is why I keep this blog under the name of Rain... (And also my comics, and music videos... As they are somehow more personal...)

Another alias of mine is: The Raven

Given to me a decade ago by accident, due to an inner monologue of an ex-lover, who just happened to speak her monologue out loud. The great majority of my online persona is wrapped up in The Raven and Black Raven...

All that aside, the majority of my 'fluffy fanfiction stories' are composed under that alias...

Ok, shuddup, Rain, and get to the point...

The stories in their entirety can be found here:

http://www.geocities.com/blackravenfishing/ff.html

Some of the stories are incomplete, stilted and old, others are much newer, complete and not at all stilted...

I included all of them on the page, even though I do not like all of them... The newer stories are denoted by the 'new' tag...

Enjoy!


Evening - Morning

Ah, I want Peanut or Almond M&M's, sigh... Must be PMS...

Or maybe it is just that I am hungry!

Heh, too late in the day to eat, but in the morning, hopefully all the leftovers of the Asian food I made won't be gone... I like odd things for breakfast...

Hopefully stores are open tomorrow, I mean I can't get M&M's except at the airport in Vantaa, but I can get yummy things!

Bedtime for me, and tomorrow, tomorrow!!! Jorja will be on TV, ooh, the hotness...

Though I do need to paint during the day... But I will enjoy the hotness with my paint splatter in the evening...


Enya, baybe!

You ever get the feeling that Enya is a lesbian? I do...

Anyway, I finally managed to listen to her new album without pause and actually concentrate on it...

Hmmm... Well, it is clearly Enya... But it is not as inspired, or perhaps it is distracted, maybe even a little rushed...

I like it and I am not sorry I bought it, but it is the first time I have listened to an Enya album and not been enamoured immediately with at least half of the songs...

With this one, nothing jumped out at me, but then I also did not have to ignore anything... To me it sounded like she was singing about a broken heart and wistful memories, but that her heart and soul and muse, were still not really with her... I suppose it seems a bit forced...

Fans like me, and casual listeners will of course, snap up the album and it is undoubtedly very high quality and talented and all good and nice things, but in truth, it was a bit of a let down... Perhaps it will grow on me...

Anyway, I just finished trimming and filing my nails, isn't that exciting?


Coffeeeeeeeeee....

Ok, I slept for 12 hours, wow...

Not that the bed I had in Helsinki was not comfy, or anything, but for whatever reason, I don't tend to sleep deeply when in foreign beds...

Also, my morning coffee ritual was disrupted, poor me...

Ok, so I made an mp3 of one of the tracks on Madonna's new album, and uploaded it to putfile...

http://media.putfile.com/Madonna---Push

The songs on the CD are mixed together to create a seamless album, so that is what is going on at the end of the track...

Anyway, Push, is one of my favorite songs on the CD, the beat is just SO... Reminds me of vertical sex to music...

I am still trying to wrap my ears around Enya's new album, it is several steps away from her usual style so I will have to get over how grating I find the difference, before I like it...

I think...

More thoughts on it later...


Well...

I got about 10 of the 1000 things that seem to be in need of doing, done... And I left my hair-stuff in Helsinki... Which is fine, except I need to make a trip to get more from somewhere... I was just in such a hurry this morning and I was sleepy...

Oh well... Now to go to my own bed... I suppose it has missed me, or maybe not...

Tomorrow I will give my opinion of Enya's new album...


I confess, to a dance floor...

When I got home, I found that I had Madonna's new album in my mailbox! Whohoo...

I am now listening to it for the second time, and I can say that this is her first album since Erotica, that I have liked the first time I listened to it...

Her ballad album: Something to Remember, was also good, but it was kind of a wedge between two albums, so I am ignoring it...

Bedtime Stories, Ray of Light, Music and American Life, all had to grow on me and some never did... I have Music, and I 'like it' for sure, but I do not listen to it, rather I have the singles I like from it especially and it just fills a niche in my Madonna album section...

Anyway, this new album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, is very good... aside from the obvious danceable nature of it, some of it has a real hip moving beat... The lyrics are intelligent and it sounds like a grown up version of her former self... and it also includes some of the funky stuff that we have come to know and love from her last few albums...

Anyway, yehup, this would get me onto the dance floor...
