Quantum of Solace & Great News!

I forgot, I was supposed to hype the new Bond film.

I loved it. I just loved it. Can't say much more. I loved every aspect, every twist and turn, especially the motor oil bit. There are some people who I'd like to give the same treatment. :) The car chase in the beginning, great, though I felt a wee sorry for the Aston Martin. I loved Olga Kurkova and her tan (how come the Ukranian women are so pretty? Like Milla and half of the supermodels). The locations, wow! The hotel where they stayed at with Strawberry Fields and Matis (?) guy was great looking in its white stone.

Was that really Tosca they were shooting at? It looked interesting. I might want to go see Tosca like that. I guess I have gotten old since I've grown a liking to some operas, like Lucia Di Lammermoor, The Medium, Faust (with Damnation, of course)...

This time it wasn't all about "No one can have eyes like that", but more like, "Why does a guy that ugly have such beautiful eyes.." :) Me and my shallow thoughts! I kept thinking what if those eyes were gifted to Jensen Ackles (whose own eyes are not bad either)... I have always loved the eye part in men and as I've grown older, I have grown to love exceptionally colored eyes.

The only thing I didn't like about the film was that I was sitting too front. I usually sit on the 5th row (of 13?), but this time there was just too much action and at times I felt a bit unease having my range of vision filled with action.

The really good news: WE GOT SNOW! Snow, people, snow, the white thing we didn't have last year... As a proof: The view from our kitchen window.

It's not much, I know, but after last year with no snow at all I find this more than refreshing. I'm pretty sure no one will whine this year, since I bet snow is what they'll enjoy instead of the slush we were so scared of.

Anyway, let's cross our fingers (or toes, heck, even arms) and hope to have many more snowy days . Please, Mother Nature, I ask of you. Give us more snow. Or at least keep this.

Snow

It started snowing..

... and it's turning into shlush.

Also:

I hate Angelina Jolie and her stupid fake accent in Alexander (which I watched again after realizing Jared Leto was in it)..

I Want Snow :(

I do not understand why I'm waiting for the snow. The winter here is dark and long and I will probably get sick of the darkness and the coldness before january, but I want it to snow so badly.

My heart broke: I saw a duck boy swimming next to a dead duck girl. The boy tried to lift her head up from under the water and pushing her towards the shore. Then it quacked three times with such a heartbreaking voice my day was ruined. I was late from work that day anyway and I stayed to watch him give up. As the girl ducks body was drifting along the current, the boy stopped quacking. Then it yelled one more time and then went to the others. I wonder if it remembers that girl duck. Or did it really feel sad or was it just me humanizing the event..?

And now to the lighter thoughts of the day:

Imagine a guy so handsome you keep thinking that you must be dreaming - that there cannot be such a guy alive on earth.

Imagine the guy holding a guitar.

Imagine the heavenly blue, big eyes, long lashes and black hair.

Imagine him looking at you as if he was the shyest guy on earth.

Imagine him whispering "Close your eyes".

Hear him singing to you hitting perfect notes.

Now wake up.

Where's The Snow?!

It's been two weeks since we last had snow. No, put it three. All the snow is gone and it rains almost every day. I wish it stopped raining already - though I was happy first, since it was a very dry and warm summer..

Except for last Sunday. The weather was fine - though a bit chilly - and we took my telescope out. I managed to see the Horsehead nebula and the Cassini division of Saturn. I guess I'll soon have to buy another, larger, heavier and more expensive telescope. If I could only win in the lottery or at least have a job, I'd get this one: CPC 1100 GPS (XLT)And yes, my current telescope is far from "good". I have a Tasco Luminova 114x900 with a 4mm, 9mm, 10mm, 20mm and 25mm oculars and a 2x Barlow and a 3x Barlow. A good starter telescope, though.
