eternity

Close your eyes so your don't hear then They don't need to see you cry I can't promise I will heal you But if you want to I will try I'll sing this somber serenade The past is done We've been betrayed It's true Someone said the truth will out I believe without a doubt, in you You were there for summer dreaming And you gave me what I need And I hope you find your freedom For eternity... For eternity Yesterday when you were walking We talked about your mum and dad What they did that made you happy What they did that made you sad We sat and watched the sun go down Picked a star before we lost the moon Youth is wasted on the young Before you know it's come and gone to soon You were there for summer dreaming And you gave me what I need And I hope you find your freedom For eternity... For eternity For eternity I'll sing this somber serenade The past is done We've been betrayed It's true Youth is wasted on the young Before you know it's come and gone to soon You were there for summer dreaming And you are a friend indeed And I hope you find your freedom For eternity You were there for summer dreaming And you are a friend indeed And I know you'll find your freedom Evenually For eternity For eternity

captured in barcelona

had a nice dinner party with giles, fiona and tim. lost big time at british trivial pursuit, but then again who cares about those dumb cricket 1947 questions? after dinner, we managed to capture saddam hussein and shove him into my office for a photo. see below. now you know why it is fun to come to my dinner parties - cause the food isn't that great...

saddam?

won't you be my neighbor?

And I thought that my neighbors hated me... P.S. I want Andreas G - the stud - to move in next door to me!
Woman Reports Neighbor for Disturbingly Loud Sex BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman took her male neighbor to court for noise pollution after he repeatedly kept her awake through half the night and had at least one four-hour sex session, a court spokeswoman said Friday. "Four hours of sex noises. What was I supposed to think? It was nothing but groaning and banging," the woman told the judge, a Bild newspaper report said. The woman told Berlin magistrates that her 25-year old neighbor Andreas G. was disturbing the peace by keeping her awake early in the morning. Andreas said his 26-year old neighbor had complained in the past, calling at five in the afternoon, but that he had not felt obliged to respond. "I can have as much sex as loud as I want then," he said. The judge dropped the case on learning that the man had since moved out of the apartment.

vday recap

friday evening went to dinner with fee, tim and their two houseguests whose names escape me now. yes, i have a horrible memory for names. much worse than anyone can imagine. had dinner at la flauta magica - that is magically across the alley from la fianna. oh wonderous joys of cosmopolitans post dinner served up by lovely little irish lads. had a good time winding fiona up about being irish and then calling her hitler. she wasn't so thrilled! post fianna we all headed off to ottozutz vip. ended the evening rather late. saturday had a little lunch with giles at paco meralgo, our tapas bar. drank some cava and ate yummy food. somehow ended up in a fancy dress shop with a beefeaters hat on, a sadam hussein mask, and a tiara. don't ask. it was fun nevertheless. came home around 6 and napped for a few before heading to v-day dinner with alex the german. we ate at drugstore which was actually quite nice given the bizarre location. then drove around to mas-i-mas and decided not to go in. so, yes, we went to ottozutz vip - AGAIN. had a great night compiling a special surprise for greg and mike. laughing at the old man who is a permanent fixture. trying to phone "the brothers" to come and celebrate lolo and lucas' wedding that was happening on sunday. and generally being asses. yesterday - slept all day and watch gone with the wind. now i have a sore throat and it is raining. blah! spanish class resumes manana with fee and wednesday head off to madrid for the day for meetings. oh joy.

baby roley

I remember receiving these pictures and Jeff picked out the little baby Roland to be ours. Then I stole him from Jeff. Wow, that will be 3 years ago this March. Before he arrived I would talk about him and say, "When he gets here I will call him Roley Poley Puddin' Pie!" My how the years fly and the cat gets fatter. Oh, and Arlie loves Roley - she told me tonight. Even though he did try to "steal her breath" when she was here over the weekend.

jupiter in uranus revisited

I have a love / hate relationship with this site, but somehow I keep going back for more. I guess I am just a glutton for punishment. I will share with you now in hopes that I can pass on the burden to you. AstrologyZone is the secret. Yep. Good old Susan Miller releases her detailed monthly astrology report for free to us. Usually, mine deals with career and money. I never ever have a month that says anything about having a fantastic love life or being swept away by the man of my dreams. Nope, it is all shining career and neverending debt solved by unexpected sources of income. Oddly enough, she is eerily accurate at her readings. This disturbs me to no extent as she has predicted quite a few slip-ups and other events in my life. Which is why I end up stressing out when I read it every month. Some highlights of this month include the following:
  • During the later part of last year you were hit with large expenses along with a shortfall of income, and this situation has kept you on edge. (Very true and not the usual Xmas expenses either)
  • This month's new moon on February 20 may give you the window of opportunity to earn a more secure income. (I am waiting on this one, we'll see how it pans out)
  • As an aside, your star at work is truly on the rise.
  • Valentine's Day will be a wild card for romance. (As in, there will be no romance)
  • Your last great romantic date night should arrive on February 28 (does this mean forever?) Anyhoo, we'll see what happens

    • 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps

    My amiga Arlie was kind enough to bring me a pressie from the UK. A DVD with the first two seasons of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. I couldn't be more pleased. I was so pleased that I actually watched the entire two seasons during the weekend. To anyone who is a 2pints newbie, let me explain...

    Lovable Johnny
    Two Pints is a sitcom produced by the BBC. It is like a ranchier, more trash, less classed version of Friends in true British biting humour. It follows a group of early 20 somethings from the North throughout their lives. The cast consists of Johnny - the lovable and goofy lad, Gazz - the man's man who thinks he is a sex god to all women (best mate of Johnny), Janet and Donna - best friends and girlfriends to Johnny and Gazz, and Louise - childlike student freak friend of the girls. Their lives consist of sitting around the house smoking fags and hiding out in the boy's only pub to talk about girls boobs. Complete toilet humour and millions of references to porn, sperm and dog poo. Seriously what more could you ask for in a sitcom? I somehow can't see this one being aired on NBC primetime. But then again - there is one reason I don't live in the States. You have to appreciate the fact that the BBC - the national freeview broadcast station - allows them to say cock and name the titles of the episodes with things like: Fags, Shags and Kebabs, Bone with the Wind, Spunk, Crusty Curtains (referring to where Gaz wipes his willy post shag). If you get a chance, pick it up and perhaps you will see that I am not that weird to like this show.

    Flo / Giles
    I forgot to mention the best character of all - Flo! Donna's mom who sits at the kitchen counter smoking and drinking all day whilst trying to seduce Gazz by rubbing her tits against his head. She is exactly what I would imagine Giles to be if he were in drag - same accent and everything!
