Well, the hockey season is over...and for those of you interested, you probably know my Red Wings didn't win it. Not sure what was wrong with them last night, but they sure didn't look like the same team in that last game. And as it turned out, the last game was the only one that mattered. But it was really a great playoff this year. And the Wings just won last year, so it's not like it's been all that long. :) The only thing that bothers me is that Crosby won it...the other guys - congrats. But Crosby just pisses me off, the whiner. Anyway....that's all I'm gonna say on that....



No news on my test results yet, except that my condition is "not life-threatening"...that's good to know. I have an appointment Tuesday morning to discuss my options. *rolls eyes* Already got the bill for the CT scan....$2500!!!!! For ONE freakin' test!!!!!! And another $250 for the radiologist to read it!!!! I'm in the wrong fucking business.....god knows how I'm going to pay for it if I have to have surgery.....


Let's talk about something more pleasant, shall we?

Anyone play Evony? I just discovered it a few days ago and I'm hooked! I have my city built (I named it Avalon) and I'm building a good sized army and pundering the countryside. LOL! I've joined an Alliance and recruited heroes....it's cool. *g* Check out http://www.evony.com/ - I'm on server 15.

Just finished The Pale Horseman Book 2 in Bernard Corwell's Saxon Chronicles....I am so loving it! I went to the local bookstore to get the next book.....pfffft....they only had a couple Sharpe books. God I wish we had a REAL bookstore in this town....like a borders or a B&N. Thank god for amazon. Ordered the last 2 in the series and they shipped today.

Okay, I'm off....I need to see how the building is going on the walls of my second city....

While I was in Grand Rapids today, I passed one of those nice big thaters with the stadium seating and stuff and decided to go see a movie since I was in no rush to get back home. I watched Terminator Salvation...it was not bad. I must say that Sam Worthington is a little cutie-patootie! I can't wait to see him in Clash of the Titans with Mads! *drool*

They showed the trailer for Sherlock Holmes beforehand and I must say....I have to see it!! It looks like it should be great fun! Check it out:



Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Mark Strong...not too shabby.

Here's some great pics of Mads (on a day off from shooting Clash of the Titans) at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky.

I'm so digging the braid and the beard...not sure why....


( More yummy scruffiness under here... )

....and yet I'm accomplishing nothing....*sigh*

Not sure where to start.

I guess I will go with my men news first...

Mads' movie Coco & Igor will be premiered at Cannes tomorrow as the festival's closing selection and you can see the trailer on my website - http://www.madsonline.net/NewsInterviews.html - A word of caution: Mads makes Igor Stravinsky incredibly hot!! *thud*
And then we have my Edgar's newest role as Ilich Ramirez Sanchez - AKA the Jackal - the infamous terrorist from the 70s. I have some new behind-the-scenes photos to share:





I'm really liking this look here...yep...the beret, the curls, the facial hair....

Thanks to Marcela @ http://edgarramirez.com.ve/ and Alexander, who sent them to her. The pics were taken during filming in Germany.

Y'know....I don't feel like getting into the rest of the stuff right now...maybe after work.

Just wanted to wish a Happy Mother's Day to my fellow Mom's on my list!

Hope you have a good day!

I actually have today off! Yippee! My daughter and I are going to watch the Red Wings game downtown here at the old historic Michigan Theater. They have a huge screen and new digital projector and sound system....and they show some of the major sporting events....for free! It should be fun....Wings are tied 2-2 in the series against those pesky Ducks in round 2....so it should be a good game, and since I don't have cable I wouldn't be able to watch at home. Yeah! Go WINGS!!!

It's 4:02am....I'm tired but I can't sleep....so I've been playing with Edgar. (I wish.......)




They're pretty because they're Edgar....but my brain is not really very creative at the moment.

I slept really well last night, so I guess I'm paying for it now. *sigh*

In other news, I guess I've had another future opportunity go up in smoke....literally. The new hotel they were building...the one where a friend of mine is supposed to be the GM and called and said he would like me to come and work for him as a possible assitant GM or Sales Director....well it burned to the ground today (I guess it's actually yesterday, now...)...completely destroyed from what they say....it was due to open in July. I guess it's a good thing it wasn't open yet...that could have been devastating. The owner already says he will rebuild....but it will be at least another year now.


Well.....I guess I should try to sleep again....good night.

I'm interupting my little adventure in Chicago to have a little Mads fix....his movie Coco chanel & Igor Stravinsky has been announced as the closing film at Cannes next month....and the official website is up. No trailer yet, but some freakin' awesome stills......damn.....

See for yourself:







That last one just makes me......well....you know.....

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming....


(BTW Cyrano was fabulous!! More on that when I get home!)

Well folks....it's that time of year again....yep....NHL Playoff time!

And of course, the defending Stanley Cup champs, Detroit Red Wings, are in the playoffs. ;)

I haven't been able to watch much hockey this season since I don't have cable anymore, but I do keep up on the standings and such. It's nice to see some different teams make the playoffs again....I can say that because the Red Wings are there, too. LOL! And 5 of The Original Six (All except the Maple Leafs...yes the Blackhawks and Canadiens are back!).

Detroit is playing the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round. This is the first time the Blue Jackets have made the playoffs since the league expanded, what was it, eight years ago? It's too bad they have to meet in the first round...I like Columbus...I have some ties to Ohio...and one of my favorite players now plays for them (Chris Gratton). So one of them will be eliminated early....hopefully the Wings won't fall to the defending champ curse that has plagued the league in recent years, and get knocked out in the first round...but if they do, then Columbus will keep going. The first game was Thursday, Detroit won 4-1. Game 2 is tonight.

GO WINGS!!!!

This just popped into my head...you have any of those type of old favorites that never get old no matter how many times you hear them? Or maybe songs you haven't heard in ages and as soon as you hear it all the lyrics come back to you and you can't help but crank it up sing along.

'Tainted Love' just came on the radio...I love that song....can't help but start bobbing my head and singing along. LOL! Yeah, kinda hard to do that and type at the same time!

What other ones?

Um...'Smooth' by Santana. Yeah, always love to hear that.
And 'Sad but True' by Metallica. Great beat...
'Without You' by Harry Nilsson...the original! I love Harry. His 'Spaceman' is another one of those songs.

It's kind of hard to just think of them....they don't really come to mind until you hear them, and then it's oh wow...haven't heard that one in a while.


(On a sort of related, yet un-related note....last night at work I started humming a song, and it took me a minute to realize what it was....'Oh Canada' ...the Canandian national anthem....WTF?!!! I'm not even Canadian! LOL!!)


Oh, another one just came on the radio....'Sweet Dreams' by the Eurythmics...and I'm not listening to an oldies station....they must be doing an 80s weekend or something.

Yessssssssss!!

The trailer for Valhalla Rising has finally hit the 'net!

It's a little after 8 a.m. and I can already tell.

The first WTF moment was....WTF am I doing up at 7:30 in the morning?!!! I'm a second shift girl...I don't do mornings well....especially when I didn't go to bed until after 2 and I had a hard time falling asleep....grrrr.

The second WTF moment was...looking out the window and seeing everything covered in about 6 inches of snow!! WTF are we doing with 6 inches of snow in April?!!!! On opening day of baseball season for pete's sake!!!!! *rolls eyes* I knew when we had 70 degree weather in March we'd pay for it....Michigan! *rolls eyes again*

So that's my Monday so far and it's only 8:15. *sigh* Can't wait for the rest of the day.

I'm probably going to have to watch the stupid basketball game tonight at work instead of the Tigers game....Michigan State is playing for the NCAA championship tonight....BFD.....It's opening day, man!! Well, I guess since I can't get the Astros game and my Pudge, it doesn't really matter that much. *Ruh-roh* LOL!! Astros....ruh-roh....get it? LOL!! Sorry I'm tired....I'm going to think of the Jetsons everytime I think of Pudge and the Astros....*giggles*

Okay....I think I need to try and go back to bed....I'm going to useless by 3pm.

As I mentioned, my next chapter is finished and I just got back from my beta, my dear friend Jacqui *hugs*, who gave it the green light and 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up!

Jason is back to his old self in this one...in more ways than one. ;)

( Bad Love ~ Chapter 9 )

Yes....my Edgar is 32 today!

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!




( And of course, that calls for a Birthday pic spam )

I'm watching Wuthering Heights with Juliet Binoche and Ralph Fiennes...I've never seen it in any form before, never read the book. It's an interesting story....I always thought it was some great romantic epic, but it's rather dark and depressing...You know, I can't help but wish Sean Bean had done this in his younger days. I kept picturing him in scenes as Heathcliffe. (Nothing against Ralph...he did a fine job.) Sean would have been the ultimate Heathcliffe.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
