jimmyjoe

you're right. there's no need for an excuse to open up a bottle of champagne. still for the sake of arguments, i wanted to know why uou opened it

Thanks for the compliment. And we are not old one bit. I'll post more pics of my tats soon, it's looking really good.

see, i feel sort of like that about my past relationships - moving on can be a struggle, especially after the longterm ones (i was with someone for nearly 4 years) but you end up feeling like surviving that struggle is some kind of catharsis.

i view them - relationships - as little self-contained parts of my life that were necessary, and helped me evolve into who and where i am now. . . so everything becomes essential, even the ones that really hurt when they ended, because i'm happy now, and without those. . . my life might have gone down some other track.

no regrets.

i put blue velvet on, principally because my girlfriend hadn't seen it - which i couldn't believe. they're so sheltered in sweden to some extents, especially artistically. dennis hopper is the best thing about that film, though, in all his unhingedness - definitely my favourite villain from any film, ever, and certainly one of the most memorable.

anyways, i would love to keep in touch with you if you fade to grey, a fate which i think i may be embracing rather soon too for one reason or another. i don't feel compelled to renew my membership anymore. . .

drop me a note, though, whatever you choose to do.

hope your week is going well

i shall do - it's not that i haven't been painting my ass - or rather, hands - off of late, it's more a problem of owning a caera that at best, takes blurry under-exposed photographs that don't do my work any favours. i'm going to invest in a decent camera with my first paycheck back in sweden, along with feeding all the inevitable food addictions i've picked up there.

it's all portraiture these days too - which is where i'm most comfortable in my work

mmm, and i loved your al pacino anecdote - i agree with you. i think with a lot of actors of that calibre, as they get older, there just aren't any meatier roles that can do their craft justice. i'd say the same about de niro.

i don't think it's a failing of the actors, more that they just aren't making anything really spellbindingly good anymore - like, half the movies on at the theater right now here are either adapted from books, or are sequels, and i think, a couple of remakes - are there no original ideas left, you know?

and we shall have wine, one of these days. i'll probably be visiting friends i have over there towards the end of the year, maybe the beginning of next, so. . . who knows

happy valentines day to you, dear

and, i meant to thank you for referring me to that journal entry - it made me chuckle

So it went well then, did it?

that's much better

*big hugs*

well, i'm not going to advocate any dragging or shooting. i've felt like this, i actuallyu felt like this for years, and thus i'm not going to belittle your feelings with a "cheer up, things will get better" speech because i know how bloody shitty that is, on top of how you're already feeling.

all i'll say instead is that sometimes, life does surprise you, even if it does so in the most modest ways - infuriating as that may be.

i'm sorry you're feeling low, honey. i hope you're feeling a little better now, than how you felt when you wrote this.

take care of yourself

I'm beginning to think that you don't want to hang out with me. Hope that's not the case.

don't really know what you are saying, but hey, I do know you are pretty damn attractive, and as shallow as that seems, it's true.

Raining cats and dogs

Meaning:
A very hard rain.

Example:
We decided to cancel our trip, it was raining cats and dogs that day.

Origin:
When the bubonic plague was rampant in London, humans where apparently not the only victims of the plague. Cats and dogs were also afflicted, many died in the streets. After a particularly hard rain, street gutters could be awash in the bodies of cats and dogs.

Another theory suggests that thunder and lightning represent a cat and dog fight.

Yet another traces the origin of the phrase to ideas in ancient mythology that cats could influence the weather, and that dogs were a symbol of the wind.

Thanks to Ron Akers

This phrase goes back many hundreds of years to the Dark Ages. The cat was thought by sailors to have a lot to do with storms. Witches that were believed to ride in the storms were often pictured as black cats.

Dogs and wolves were symbols of winds and the Norse storm god Odin was frequently shown surrounded by dogs and wolves. In the phrase "raining cats and dogs", cats symbolize the rain and dogs represent the wind of the storm.
