Karma has struck it's wrath. I was experimenting with making victory rolls in my hair & the stupid hair brush got stuck. I was frantically running around the flat freaking out. It was one of those round ones, not the best invention.

Since the victory hair rolls require twisting the hair in a round ringlet, I thought the brush would work. I'm missing a chunk of hair now which isn't so obvious but it took me five months to grow half it's length back. This is so upsetting. :(

This is the best Halloween concept yet! It made my day, so hilarious! ::evil laugh::
Even my hairdresser at Headmasters supports this.

The blind student is played by Melchior Beslon, although it strikes us as unlikely that someone so handicapped could dash so fast through the streets of Paris, Beslon is genuinely blind in real life. His gestures and voice are compelling, and have a sensitivity that helps us empathize with his condition. Natalie Portman, serves as a perfect foil for Beslon. Like Run Lola Run, the film is a kinetic riff on the theme of destiny, and misunderstandings in love. The best part is a glorious cadenza of accelerated images, as the student recalls the relationship he has had with his girl friend. In less than three minutes of screen time, novelty becomes routine, ecstasy becomes boredom, rifts and solitude appear inevitable – until the final twist, which turns the joke on the audience. Once again – and with obvious pleasure – Tykwer has created a couple who race in tune with life, challenging their karma at every turn.

These past two weeks have been the most emotionally exhausting of the year. My Mother had informed me that my Grandma's condition had gone from active, semi-healthy to the most extreme, she was diagnosed with cancer, terminal. It was the worst news ever to hear, that she had no possible chance of recovering, even chemotherapy couldn't help her. The doctors were so stolid, callous & so grim. I was about to lose the most important individual of my existence, my only Grandmother. I had grew so close to her over the course of my life. She was so supportive to my family even when others turned their backs. I couldn't fathom the reality of losing her. She was there for every important event in my life. I spent the last month with her at her house before her final journey into the hospital. She refused to believe her prognosis was as serious as we all believed.

I spent this past Thursday night in the hospital for six & half hours, after receiving a frantic call from my Uncle. He said her blood pressure was dropping & that I should leave work immediately. I left work feeling really worried, I expected much worse to come. I saw her lying in the hospital bed, she didn't look like herself anymore but a frail, older woman, in a deep sleep, not opening her eyes or speaking, like as if in a coma. It was so gut wrenching to see her like this, what she had been reduced to in such a short span of time. She held on throughout the night, as our family waited in the ICU waiting room. I proceeded to head home halfway into the early morning hours. I awoke this past Friday morning to the sound of my Grandfather calling my name as he stood next to me whilst I slept on the couch. He told me that she had passed that morning, at 11am, which was twenty minutes later. She had renal failure & her heart had flat lined.
It's been really rough for my family these past two days, the reality of her being gone from my life has ripped me up so much inside. I just miss her so much right now & it's impossible to imagine the future without her. Je vous aime la si beaucoup de Grandmère, à jamais & toujours.....

Joyeux Anniversaire à moi!

2007-12-02T23:48:11Z

Beau soir mes amis! Officially tomorrow is a tremendous milestone in my life. It is officially my 30th birthday! My twenties have bid adieu forever & now I am now entering a world unknown to me, where others have gone in my age group. It doesn't feel like a huge ordeal but I was a bit hesitant to grasp this concept a few months prior. Wow, I'm another year older, & people still think I am 22. lol

I celebrated my birthday yesterday with dinner at a very swanky, lovely restaurant called Vivace in downtown KC. Such wonderful entrees, flatbreads, cosmopolitan martinis, desserts, & more. I had a very delicious Steak Vivace entree with a nice potato gratin in the shape of a square. The martinis were so tasty, I couldn't resist the ice bar either. The tiramisu was so good, along with the luscious cheesecake. Such a fabulous birthday! And there was live jazz as well, very cool.

After dinner, we departed for the Brick to see a very talented local band called American Catastrophe. I've known the singer & guitarist from a another popular band, they're also notorious locals amongst our little metropolis. Such a cool gig, they rocked the Brick! They also won a new fan amongst the throngs of people unaware of this band.

The biography:

Exploring the Americana, the rural grit, the murderer, and the romantic, American Catastrophe is the product of 15 years of musical exploration. Stemming from former bands such as The Black Water, Sky Burial, and Sister Mary Rotten Crotch; American Catastrophe draws upon their diverse experiences in experimental jazz, old school punk, expansive guitar epics and operatically trained baritone vocals to fashion a powerful brand of American Gothic with an original take on the murder ballad tradition.

American Catastrophe's debut Excerpts from the Broken Bone Choir is the inaugural release on the roster of Oxblood Records, a label co-owned by music industry veterans Robert Moore, formerly of I.R.S. Records and Music Director at KCUR-FM in Kansas City and Megan Hamilton, former drummer for indie success Frogpond.
Outside of American Catastrophe, Shaun H. is co-founder and Creative Director of the MK12 design collective, where for 8 years has directed and animated music videos for the likes of Hot Hot Heat, Guided By Voices, The Faint, and Common, among others. His design expertise and artistic vision are also applied to the distinct look and imagery of American Catastrophe. Fans and the unfamiliar alike covet the band's poster art, unique album packaging and merchandise. The beautifully haunting visuals, cavernous vocals and torrential orchestration of American Catastrophe have inspired a strong regional following. American Catastrophe is more than a band, it is an icon.

She Moves In Her Own Way

Beau soir mes amis! These past two days have been quite eventful. I was messaged by an old friend from the days of frequent goth club nights. He's a notorious photographer & has asked me to sit for him for his latest work.
What an honor! The focus is about sadness & feelings of loss. I will be joining him for tea soon to discuss the shoot further. It will not be orchestrated moves or poses but natural.

Such wonderful news! It will be a great opportunity & he is featuring on his website & portfolio. I'm anticipating it immensely! ^_^

A demain et a bientot!

Beau soir mes amis! I've been in constant auto-pilot these last two months.

Although, I've shared this with many of my real life friends not many of you know that I was actually involved in a hit & run pedestrian accident last November. It was an ordinary night but it had been raining throughout the whole day. I had just finished working for the day & decided on a whim to go downtown to purchase my Art Brut+We Are Scientists ticket. I was rather thrilled about this show, I've never seen Art Brut live & of course Eddie Argos, beloved vocalist was going to be there.

I managed to exit the bus stop & frantically crossed the major intersection walking back to my flat which was three blocks away. I cautiously near I had the right of way to safely cross the intersection. Suddenly the driver of this car turning left drove directly into my path. I didn't have time to react, the car had hit my left leg & sent me flying to curb. I had managed to catch half a license plate when the driver sped off & never bothered to stop. I was left by the curb, in shock & upset. I knew I had to get home & file a police report of my accident, so I made the trek back, slowly dragging my injured leg in the rain. I've lived in this city for nearly 10 years without ever being involved in any pedestrian accidents prior. For the last four months, I've been in constant pain & have been bandaged up. The Doctors advised that I have a form of poor circulation in my feet & that this will take awhile to fully recover. The police never caught the fucktard who hit me. I'm really looking forward to having a relatively normal sort of life, and finally take that holiday to England that I've been rambling on about a few entries back.

I'm really appreciative to my family & close circuit of friends who have helped me through this difficult time in my life. I certainly hope this never happens to any of you ever. Be well, a demain et a bientot.

I carry your heart with me

2007-04-08T21:05:53Z

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Interpol Update!

2007-03-23T19:55:37Z

Rousing ourselves with shudders of anticipation, the Interpol will embark
again to meet the world on a sojourn of sound.
We will begin by traversing the Great White North. Huskies blazing trails.
Bountiful. Hungry.
No jettison.
We come to you with a newness.
Thank you.

This sounds like the brilliant Carlos D. & his literary genius......looking forward to the new album. ^_~

Because this song is my ultimate favorite, such exquisite lyrics!

Acrylic Afternoons

I fell asleep on your sofa and had a dream about a small child in dungarees
Who caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro.
Then my face cracked open and you were there
You were there dressed in green, saying something obscene.
But that's why I came here in the first place, Oh well that and the tea.
Can I stay here lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside and wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea.
Cushions and TV and the table set for tea. One for you, one for me.
Come and lie down on the settee in that green jumper
You can have anything you want and the clock is saying it's half past four
But you know I want to stay a little more.
Can I stay here lying under the table...etc.
On a pink quilted eiderdown, I want to pull your knickers down.
Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze.
Lemonade light filtering thru the trees.
It's so soft and it's warm.
Just another cup of tea please (one lump thanks).
Can I stay here lying under the table...
Oh Kevin, Shane, Julie, Diane, Wayne, Frank, Heather, Rachel,
Chelsea, Leanne,come home.
It's time for your tea.

Oh, Darling Valentine.....

2007-02-10T03:41:29Z

A piece that speaks volumes, very moving & erotic.

Laying next to you
in a smoke filled room
reflecting thoughts
in this red light womb

Paralyzing breaths of
intoxicated heart rhythms
savoring every slippery
slow move of the lips

Motion in slow motion
poisonous love potion
sinking deeper and deeper
into silky soft black sheets

Without sight we see
without words we speak
we move through galaxies
while lying still

Encapsulating moments
to bury in eternity
to have, to hold
to kiss, to kill

As we transcend time
The clock stops at night
the stars are our blanket
and the moon is our light

We never get enough
of all that we want
taking it all and willing
to sleep it away

Dreaming hand in hand
with legs intertwined
escaping to unreal lands
in the joining of our minds

To turn my head and see
the beauty in your being
lost in your memories
and subconscious reveries

To softly thread your hair
and lightly brush your cheek
to be at ease because you're there
for me to worship your mystique

Perfection
is someone
I no longer
have to seek

"And on winding roads, in crowded clubs & hotel bars-this shipwreck of the streets stirred daydreams of London trash & glamour, his cigarette tracing a ladder to the stars" Jack Fairy/Velvet Goldmine

Beau soir mes amis! It's been quite some time since I've updated.....I've succumbed to the myspace propaganda & took up some time there. It's not too bad, sometimes amusing.
I also got a new job this past Tuesday, yey! I also picked up an application for a passport. I'm planning my trip to England this year.....I'm looking forward to leaving this continent for a two week holiday this summer.

I rented two brilliant films yesterday, Basquiat & Velvet Goldmine. I'm absolutely in love with Micko Westmoreland's character, Jack Fairy. Androgynous & such a beautiful creature. ::sigh:: I loved the film, it took me nearly nine years to finally get 'round to watching it. And wow, what a film!

I've got an upcoming dinner date with my best friend for Valentines Day.....we've been getting on rather well & he's been a huge supporter since my disastrous week of unemployment & off & on again relationship precariousness. I'm on a hiatus from the dating world.

I'm craving a latte...more anon, a demain et a bientot!

To The Nice Guys

2006-09-10T22:48:39Z

Beau soir mes amis! This was posted by a friend on mypsace, & I thought I would share it with everyone. I absolutely agree!

Not many girls appreciate nice guys anymore... And because of this, there are not many left out there...

Nice guys finish last

To every guy that regrets hurting or losing her.

To every guy who knows which girl he wants.

To every guy that's said, "You're beautiful."

To every guy that was never too busy to drive across town (or across the state) to see her.

To every guy that gives flowers and a card when she is sick.

To every guy who has given her flowers just because.

To every guy that said he would die for her.

To every guy that really would.

To every guy that did what she wanted to do.

To every guy that cried in front of her.

To every guy that she cried in front of.

To every guy that holds hands with her.

To every guy that kisses her with meaning.

To every guy that hugs her when she's sad.

To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all.

To every guy who would give their jacket up for her.

To every guy that calls to make sure she got home safe.

To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hours just to be able to see her for ten minutes.

To every guy that would give his seat up.

To every guy that just wants to cuddle.

To every guy that reassured her that she was beautiful no matter what.

To every guy who told his secrets to her.

To every guy that tried to show how much he cared through every word and every breath.

To every guy that thought maybe this could be the one.

To every guy that believed in her dreams.

To every guy that would have done anything so she could achieve them.

To every guy that never laughed at her when she told him her dreams.

To every guy that walked her to her car.

To every guy that wasn't just trying to get laid.

To every guy that gave his heart only to have it shoved back in his face.

To every guy who prays that she is happy even if you are not with her.

Oh, you're a star!

Wow, it's been forever since I've updated last. Two weeks ago, whilst on an outing with friends, I decided to get a new addition. I got a lovely, 16 gauge Marilyn Monroe piercing on the right side of my mouth, above my lip. It's fabulous! I now I have seven piercings! ^_^ The needle didn't hurt so much going in, it was so fast, & it's healing quite well. I'll reveal some pics soon!
