final thoughts before we're through with 2009

The old year – make that the old decade – goes out with a bang, courtesy of a Full Moon with its own eclipse built in. Normally this is a festive night to pull out the streamers and silly hats, but everyone’s so somber today it makes you wonder if there’s a party happening at all. Tell me if the predominant topics tonight aren’t job security and the stock market. If you still believe that money makes the world go around, perhaps you’d like to make a new year’s resolution to focus instead on making all of your relationships sing with love.
that was astrology speaking. i'm just saying, bring it on!

mais cela n'est pas possible!

paranormal activity has 82% on rottentomatoes and dorian gray only 47%? there is no justice in this world. actually, i know what their problem is - pretty guys. as in you can't have a cupcake in a movie without the movie being bashed to no end. paranormal activity has no plot, no acting, no editing and the documentaries on discovery channel about haunted houses deserve the oscar in comparison. also, the lead male character was an insufferable boorish jerk and i almost cheered when he got dead.
on the other hand, dorian gray is also a jerk, but a charming jerk at least and in the end he tried to redeem himself. and i still think ben barnes can act.

dorian gray, finally!

i've eventually seen it and it's all shades of wonderful. it's goth and british (totally british and i love that!) very romantic and yes, his royal hotness can act. i think. anyway, he was a perfect dorian. just like leo was a perfect romeo. you know, british films have that special something which puts stuff like avatar to shame. sam worthington can snarl and turn into a blue cat all he wants but he'll never be even close to that sort of intensity and cuteness. what? just like master oscar (we were born in the same day, just a century or so apart), i'm a shallow libra. i also feel compelled to say: if there ever was a best hair category HRH would win, hands down! just like samson, his awesome is in his mane ... and the deep brown eyes... and the tall and slender stature.... and the voice. excuse me, a girl can daydream especially considering that i'll have pluto bouncing round and round my eighth house all next year (scorpio angst will probably be off charts, or i'll turn into the wicked witch of the west. east. whatever) and also progressed mars in there. you know, just for kicks.

happy christmas! and then work, of course

stuff I got:
3 pairs of shoes (yes, i know, people love me THAT MUCH, OMG) - as in brown boots which actually fit my legs (yay!), gray pumps (who are awesome) and... deep mauve/light gray ankle boots (with awesome high heels and platform). like i said, people love me v much and i heart them back, all of them.
dark green (really really dark, almost black green) furrish coat. mogs.
flowery curtain and the prettiest nightstands/ratan shelves where sister and i stuffed in a less random fashion make-up/hairbrushes/other girly stuff. awesome.
the littlest christmas house and i can put a candle in it. marvelous
pretty pretty cosmetics.
happy presentmas!

p.s. according to astrology 2010 will not bring THAT sort of untroubled love.

time to look ahead

so 2009 sucked royally, no, sucked in an almost godly fashion. the year of the bull brought hard work and little money, frustration beyond compare and just when there was a glimpse of hope, major disappointment. also, tested my patience in a way done in the past only by the spawns of satan i dated. and let me tell you, it's one thing when a single evil entity is conspiring against your happiness (i am not that enlightened as to make up excuses such as character differences. THEY were actively and deliberately mean and reveled in making me miserable) and it's a whole different story when seemingly a vast proportion of the universe is doing that to you. i felt like one of the characters in an apocalyptic movie, where tsunamis, earthquakes, ice ages, fiery asteroids and angry aliens were thrown at me at a relentless pace. i'm still looking over my shoulder now. there are 9 days left, more than enough for a sneak karmic attack.
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... 2010 is approaching at a fast pace and it will better bring money security, peace of mind and a whole lotta love. the kind of love that doesn't make you paranoid, hurt, worried or otherwise want to crack skulls.

gifts to confound by sign or what not to give

Aries: A little relaxation and culture, naturally. Ensure that hiking boots and fiery attitudes are left at home with tickets to an exciting evening of… opera.

Taurus: Deepak Chopra’s Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. While the more metaphysically-inclined signs would be charmed to receive a book like this, the Bull will think you’ve gone bonkers.

Gemini: Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Season One, hands-down. For one thing, the DVD will grant Geminis a break from mental stimulation. For another … uh, it fits just about anywhere?

Cancer: Exercise tools such as resistance bands or free weights will show sensitive Cancerians you care. Especially after you explain – in the face of their crabby display of insecurity – that these gifts are not attacks on their svelte shape.

Leo: Fake Chanel handbag. Whereas a Sagittarian will laugh off a prank like this, the Lioness will be royally miffed.

Virgo: A neatly wrapped, ridiculously expensive, entirely impractical burping Santa or farting Snowman sculpture. Don’t forget to chuck the receipt. And, oh yeah, that’s flattery screaming from their one-of-a-kind facial expressions.

Libra: An “experimental” or abstract painting. Make sure the colors or the textures clash. The Libran may be too well-behaved to say it, but it will jar their sense of balance. Look! Their softly clenched teeth give them away! (sorry, Picasso, but there's truth in there!)

Scorpio: A detoxification program is in order for this sponge. Now, Scorpio’s death-stare and silence might scare a gift-giver at first. However, the scorpion is not embarrassed (nor plotting your next misfortune). These mechanisms are simply code behaviors for gratitude. After all, it’s not always easy to find the right sentiments for the sweet and generous!

Sagittarius: The Home and Garden for Dummies series. Bath, tile and sink refinishing on their minds? Look no further. These books are guaranteed to delight Sagittarians, quenching their famous thirst for knowledge in extensive detail from intro to end!

Capricorn: A weekend at a nudist camp. A Gemini wouldn’t mind checking one out just to see what it’s like. But the Goats, who have a tough time even letting their hair down, will shrink in horror at the thought of shedding their clothes in public!

Aquarius: A twin-set. It makes a perfect gift for Capricorns who favor the classic look, but it is anathema to the Water Bearers who make their own rules and delight in thumbing their nose at tradition.

Pisces: Classes on bookkeeping. A Virgo might glow with quiet anticipation at receiving such a gift, but a Pisces will be more bewildered than usual. They’ll thank you sweetly, nonetheless.

Happy holidays!

the day after tomorrow

just for the record - it rained last night and it was a little warmer so the goddamn snow somehow melted so this morning i navigated through ice and mud and ankle deep water to come to work. now we have rain pouring, but it looks like it's turning into ice falling from the sky or something equally disturbing. in conclusion: if someone even mentions how cute winter is, i'm lunging for the throat.
later edit: i am starting to understand the myth about the Swedes being constantly depressed. also, it doesn't help that it's barely december and probably this hellish weather will carry on till february, at least. february is 2 months away. i miss those global warming winters where we didn't have snow till mid january. *sigh. i am also desperately missing the scorching heat of summer, the long days of sunshine, the sandals, the sand, the fact that i didn't have to wear the equivalent of a spacesuit to go buy a bottle of water. look, last evening i painted my toenails a deep dark burgundy and it made me sad because they can't be pretty. meaning that i have to cut them v short since i have to wrap my feet in socks/woolen stockings/boots. otherwise they will freeze and fall off. then i realized that me as a whole can't be pretty. i can't wear nice dresses and shoes, damn, i can't even wear heels. *tear
in conclusion: it's awful. and you know what's worse? those people who don't believe me that i'm honestly suffering because of the weather.

the day after tomorrow, black sea version

in summary, does what it says - snow, blizzard, ungodly temperatures, dramatic gusts of wind and waves, roland emmerich would die for images like that. mother nature is a total drama queen. and, yeah, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be worse. on the brightside: i don't have to go to work tomorrow. on the downside: i'll be doing news about the wintery apocalypse the day after tomorrow. OMINOUS.
of course i still hate winter.

wow!



ILU ALICE.

also, precious. i thought sister would like this movie for its tear-jerking qualities, but i ended up watching it all by myself. well, the last half of it anyway. it's ... hmmm... how do i put that. feels like a hallmark movie. as in the story is touching and interesting but it's overdone. and not even good overdone. however, i did like the girl playing it and i will totally support any awards she wins. but the movie itself, it's a lot like fashion where less is more. sure, you have people who are good at over-the-top (like tarantino, baz luhrmann or tim burton) but in this case something more subdued would have worked out better. at least in my opinion.
i also want to see bright star which is a love story between keats and fanny browne and the trailer looks swoon worthy.

i'd really like to believe the following

Thank heavens for a fresh start. It’s as if the Cosmos has morphed into your very own fairy godmother today. Just picture her waving her magic wand and – poof – you’re given the chance to edit or even re-write your love story. Maybe you’ll be whisked off to a romantic tryst in faraway lands. Then again, a journey of the mind can also be deliciously satisfying. Either way, like most new beginnings, this one starts by focusing on what you most wish to bring into your life. But don’t stop at visualizing; make it real by setting your dreams into motion.

stupid monday

first: paranormal activity is a bad movie. as in excruciatingly bad, worse than new moon. okay, so i generally dislike horror movies, for about the same reasons i dislike porn movies - lack of plot, sketchy characters, weird reactions from said characters, buuuuuuuuuut sometimes i'm willing to give credit - like "the exorcism of emily rose" was a pretty nice movie, although i am not entirely sure it classifies as horror. but, back to p.a. and why it sucked gloriously. first of all, i could not care less about the characters. especially the guy. the guy is so obnoxious, probably because of testosterone poisoning or stuff, and he totally deserved his fate. the girl stabbed him to death in the end and i almost cheered. what do you expect when he was all like "whee! i'm a macho and i will totally provoke the demon that lives inside my house even though people warned me against that specifically". dude, you had it coming.
also, i somewhat empathized with the girl, but not enough because she also did really weird, out-of-place things (you're haunted and you don't tell your parents about it? even though the thing, demon, whatever, specifically attacks you in the bedroom you still keep sleeping in there?)
okay, so maybe i am picky and people could point out that i read all the twilight books (*hangs head). point is, the characters in p.a. don't make me care about their fate. live, die, whatever, ghost, blah blah (i even noticed the faux-reality editing - which is awesomely bad, i could have done it better. dude. you bought super-duper equipment and you edit movies like that??? i am not buying that. nuh huh. WHY DID THIS MOVIE MAKE A SHITLOAD OF MONEY??)
so. in conclusion. bad. also, some boys are evil and deserve knives and ghosts thrown at them.

the supergrrrl inside me

Making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice…. I’m thoroughly convinced that Santa Claus has Venus in Virgo. No one else would be so into a naughty or nice list! And so is the charm of this placement. You’re extremely observant, quiet and calculating as you take everything in and make careful analysis. People might think you’re psychic because of it. Taking care of business is the way you play, which to most people doesn’t seem like actual play, but you’re not boring – you just prefer to let things build on their own. What’s wrong with patience? Don’t good things come to those who wait (and who pass the thorough inspection)? And you’re always helpful, in good shape, and smell super fine. Mm, mm, good.

Super Girl Power: Power of observation (these folks could be psychic)
Super Girl Outfit: Freshly laundered button-down shirt and pencil skirt with pen and notebook for lists

OK, i do love pencil skirts, i'm a very patient person, also quiet and calculating buuuuuuuut.. not extremely observant. nuh huh. unless i am really interested in something. also, i don't like notebooks and pens therefore i always loose pens. and lighters. kitty lighter disappeared today in the vortex of doom or stuff. *tear. kitty lighter please come home!!!
in other news, i'm v proud of the new brown high-heeled boots. sky high-heeled boots, perfect to wear with bootcut pants (i have 2 pairs now. that's progress) and create a wonderful illusion of sky high model legs. also, for the british researchers who claim men don't like loooong legs. i don't care and also, you made that up. because i said so, duh.

oh, the thrills

so we had elections but surprisingly, we still don't know who won. that translated last night in both candidates claiming the victory. and i just know that, regardless of the final result, there will be accusations of fraud and extra monekeying around. popcorn, anyone?
also, i know we're going to get drama today because mars and moon are both conjunct in leo. moon in leo is demanding, melodramatic and thinks it rules the world. mars will kick that up several notches. here's what sasstrology has to say about that.
"The Moon (your emotional needs) and Mars (your drives) are joined up today in dramatic Leo. And – excuse me, pay attention – that means you’ll be able to address your emotional needs – or rather, address mine – in a straightforward, logical, and effective manner.

Never mind that: how’s my hair? Why aren’t you paying attention to me? Oh, you’re just like your Mother…"

look! cupcake dancing



no, not the girl. though she's very cute and graceful. lucky trollop. THE OTHER CUPCAKE. and he definitely has seen new moon because he is doing the shirtlessness thing (*fangirl swoon, omg he is dancing, that's how shallow i am). also, according to internet he is aquarian (of course he is - he's got the sexy, the stare and the voice) and possibly married or single. internet, if i can't trust you who can i trust with useless pieces of trivia? like, is he for real married or not?

cancer moon opposite pluto

Today’s lesson: everyone has needs, and when your sense of security is threatened, it can lead to rash actions. There… wasn’t that a lot nicer than some metaphor about screaming hostage-takers waving machine guns and demanding you hug them?

Nicer, maybe… but no more accurate.

there was a lot of truth in that statement, let me tell you.

duh

really, politics is annoying. more than annoying, it's cheap circus, ohmygods i can't believe i'm talking about it again. yet... honestly. i am completely miffed that there are persons who actually believe one word politicians say. ANY of them. it's all blah blah blah which translates into "we're really after the money you are trying hard to make and honestly, we don't give a rat's ass about any of you, voters. except during the campaign when we try hard to pretend we care". which is why i don't vote. but since i am paying taxes, i'm more than allowed to bitch about them.
and you know, maybe it isn't their fault. it's the people who actually buy those cheap promises who are the real problem. usually i'd just say, whatever, live and let live (although the recent past would come as a strong counterargument to that theory), it's a free world and people are allowed to be dumb and express their dumbness in any way they see fit and i will not prevent in any way their freedom of speech. yet, since i am forced to deal with their stupidity every day (hello there, i make news about this sort of behaviour and it would be very unprofessional to state "look, a bunch of morons are fighting over some liars who don't care about them. just like in soccer"), i might as well express my opinions here.
"But all that is not worth the prodigy of your saliva, Jill, that bites my soul, and dizzies it, and swirls it down, remorselessly, rolling it, fainting to the underworld. " that would be Baudelaire, the Enki Bilal remix.
