Random CD Player

My CD player in the car loves me and apparently loves Tokio Hotel as well...when playing Zimmer, it will almost always play 5, 8, 10, 7 and 9 in that order, and then some combination of 1, 3, 12 and 4. It rarely plays 11, which I don't really like (yes, there is a TH song that I don't care for).

I love that the CD loves the same songs I do...and plays them for me in the order I like them. Makes me feel connected with my car...lol.

Interview with the Vampire... part two

Completely forgot about Antonio Banderas as Armand and how gorgeous he is. And eternally elegant and charming and utterly captivating...until he bites you and you're dead. Always a touch of danger behind such elegance and beauty...the evil that lurks beneath the smooth rich surface, like the fetid sewer beneath the great jewel of Paris.

Dreams, Premonitions, Random Thoughts...

Twice in the past week I've had a dream and then had something from that dream occur during my waking hours...and once during the day I had a distinct impression of an event which promptly happened (something mundane but interesting...I had the distinct sensation of eating a sugar cookie; I could smell and taste vanilla and butter, feel the grains of sugar on my lips and the crumble of the cookie in my mouth. I was sitting in a meeting where someone was eating Chinese for lunch, which smelled wonderful. Right after I tasted the cookie, she took a sugar cookie out of her pocket and unwrapped it and took a bite.)

I love when this happens...it used to happen more frequently, but sometimes it goes away, or I don't pay attention well enough. It's like getting a sneak peak into the future, if I know where to look. It's something I can't force either...the harder I try to make it happen, the less it will. I just need to be open and let those impressions happen.

Alex has a girlfriend that is about 40 minutes away...it used to take an hour, but I've learned where on the Interstate I can drive over the speed limit and where the State Patrol usually is.

I love driving...I really someday would like to drive a very powerful, very fast car on a road where the speed limit is more than 75. It's 65 here; when we were in North Carolina and out in Montana there are places where it's 75. Nice...but a Toyota Corolla just isn't the same as say a power heavy Mercedes or some other luxury car made to go fast, but in comfort. I'm not thinking of a little zippy sports car, but something large and smooth and fast...powerful is the word. Power...with speed.

What else... ah, Alex is getting me Humanoid for my birthday, so I am heading over to Amazon to pre-order it so it appears on October 6th...my birthday was yesterday, so it will be late, but Tokio Hotel apparently didn't realize my birthday was the 19th and therefore didn't know when to release Humanoid...yeah, that's it! Still, it's an excellent birthday present.

"Interview with a Vampire" is on...Tom Cruise is creepy, but excellent. Brad Pitt is...well...Brad Pitt, vampire with a conscious (except he kills the little poodles, but does feel bad).

But the decadence..the excess...the grandeur covering a layer of decay...beauty followed by a view of the underside of life. Not all as it seems...Also, beautiful young men wearing make-up, which I seeming have a fondness for.

I'd also like all the clothes from the movie. I really need a new wardrobe; I'm tired of wearing Alex's old Zoo York t-shirts. I'd love to start all over with new clothes; brocades and lace and velvet...corsets and skirts and shifts made of linen. I'm apparently going to win the lottery soon..lol.

Prom Night

I knew that Prom Night had a Tokio Hotel song in it, but none the less, when Donna walks down the stairs for the prom and By Your SIde plays, I still got all teary eyed and goosebumps...and then proceeds a slasher movie. But it had a Tokio Hotel song in it...and they play a whole lot of it!!!

Young love...oldest TH fan...misc. other items

Rummage sale of thoughts...

The resident teenager is in love...which is odd, but nice. And being in that state, he's done his laundry, swept the steps and is currently walking the dog, which never happens. So, I'm all in favor of love, young or otherwise, if it gets the house cleaner and the dog walked. :)

Patiently waiting for two things: pay from online writing, so I can buy Zimmer 483 for my mom. She is, I think, the world's oldest Tokio Hotel fan, or pretty close to it. (She's 74.) She was in hospital recently and the nurse asked her in the morning how she slept. And my mom said, "Not at all...I miss my boys." To which the nurse replied she thought my mom had only a daughter. And my mom said, "Tokio Hotel...my boys...I fall asleep with them every night." Which I find sweet...she listens to Scream every night as she's falling asleep. Granted, she rarely gets past the first two songs before she's asleep... and the part of Live Every Second that repeats "Wake up..." actually does wake her up... she is a fan through and through. I think she will enjoy Zimmer and I plan on getting her Humanoid, in both English and German, when it's out.

Which brings up another thought: will I be able to get both languages at the same time? I hope so, since I really prefer listening to them in German rather than English. I'm not sure why. I love both, any, and all music I can possibly get my hands on, but in my mind, they are forever singing in German.

And hopefully I can write another Associated Content article and review the new songs...it won't be a paid assignment like the last, but since that article was such a big hit with the fan clubs in the countries that got a hold of it, perhaps they'd like my views on the new songs. And perhaps that article can get circulated and the Russians can applaud the article's quality, and the Italians can offer to hug me again. :) My foreign audience...lol.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Posting from work with no access to photos, but really did not forget today is the twins' birthday. I did forget to post last night, but I also did remember to call the number and leave a message, so I get some points for, well, something :)

I didn't realize I'd hear Bill with a message from the band, so I got a little flustered at the sound of Bill saying "Tokio Hotel" which I adore. Sounds so much better than when someone says it in American English....anyway, I ended up "witching" them a Happy Birthday! lol...

The sentiment is the same and I truly do witch them a happy day, filled with family or friends or coffee and cream tarts with people over 60 (which I sadly, yet also gladly, do not qualify for, but my mom does) or whatever else occupies their day. Cake would be nice as well...

It must be wonderful to share a birth day with someone else, as a twin...I'm an only child so I don't even have a sibling with a different birthday. But to always have someone who will always know exactly when your birthday is....even knows down to the minute where you were before you were born...and will never forget it, will almost always celebrate it with you must be extraordinry. In die nacht comes to mind on this day... rather than singing Happy Birthday, possibly that should be sung.

Again, Happy Birthday to September babies now grown and almost men. Birthday hugs and kisses to you both.... :)
