Star Trek

Aan het lezen: "Before Dishonor" een Star Trek boek door Peter David. Een ongelooflijk goed boek waarin Adminral Kathryn Janeway de nieuwe "Borg Queen" wordt en waar Seven Of Nine, Spock en Jean-Luc Picard samenwerken om haar te....moet ik nog verder lezen.
Een ongelooflijk logisch paar Spock en Seven of Nine.

Frida

I had a very strange dream last night. I was dreaming I was walking around dressed like Frida Kahlo. Probably because I have been re-reading her diary lately, a thing of terrible beauty.
Well, in any case I will have the opportunity to dress like I want in the near future for some time and I do have a lot of ethnic jewelry...just need to let grow my whiskers now...

Devoted the entire weekend to my pets:
Saturday did some shopping and in the afternoon finished reading Fatal Voyage with the cat on my lap.
Sunday was completely for my sweetheart Quick Star. He's definitely a great horse, lots of spirit and wild as can be for a tamed horse but oh so sweet natured.
I really made a good deal in buying him. But the most important thing is that he really seems to love me as much as I love him.

Resistance

Just finished reading: Star Trek TNG-book: "Resistance" by J.M. Dillard.
A truly good book where Jean-Luc becomes once again 'Locutus' of Borg in order to save Humanity.
Weekend is coming and I really need some new plants for the winter-balcony. Think I will go for a mixture of white and purple heather...

Merci Maurice

Sad, sad, he is no more, my Magickal Dancemaker, but he will live on in all dancers for many generations to come.
Thank you Bim, for your words to me and to all your dancers, thanks for your works and your instructions, thanks for all those magnificent spectacles I saw.
Et je me rapelle sourtout tes mots: "Mourir, renaitre, toujours recommencer..."

Some days (and especially some nights!) my husband is just...Pure Perfection, don't you think so?

Easy going

All I need lately is coffee or tea and my horse.
Still in the office in Brussels, arranging the archives and collecting my personal stuff. Just one more month to go and I'm free...
Last night I woke up suddenly at 2.00 o'clock in the night and as it seemed I would not get tired fast, I just watched some episodes of Stargate Atlantis. Not as good as Star Trek but still interesting. Should purchase all 3 years.
Reading: Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs, another Hit.

HP 7 in Vlaanderen

Morgen een vrije dag, gevuld met
1. het paard
2. de verjaardag van Glenn met de familie
3. en om Middernacht het grootse feest in de Aalsterse Standaard Boekhandel met attracties van jongleurs en vuurspuwers bij het verschijnen van de allerlaatste HP in het Nederlands.
Vuurspuwers in een boekenwinkel, dat kan leuk worden....

Luscious Lucius

Yesterday I saw 3 Yule trees in a shop window made up as if they belonged in the Malfoy Manor. They were huge trees covered with fake snow and filled with white shining stars and balls and… white peacocks… Certainly the people who conceived the whole thing must have read Deadly Hallows. Last night I had a vivid dream about darling Lucius, yummy… and yes, today DVD of HP 5 appears. Life can be beautiful now and then.

Booth & Tempe

Finally, 2nd season of BONES has begun yesterday on our commercial channel Kanaal 2, almost at the same time that the DVD-box will appear in the stores, am I living in a medieval country or not? Love to see this great series with great actors.
Meanwhile I'm reading Kathy Reichs 3rd novel in her Temperance Brennan books: "Deadly Decisions". I really love her writing. Not only scientificly very detailed but also very funny.

Methos and McCleod

Yes, I know this picture of Peter Wingfield is from the series Queen of Swords, but it could just be a picture from Highlander as well. I got year 3 from Higlander on DVD and as it was raining cats and dogs this weekend, all I did was watching some episodes. Not the best year in the series, but still great as this is the year that Methos appears in the storyline. Magnificent to watch whatever this guy does. I hope I can get the remaining years from Germany in the near future as this seems to be the only country in Europe who produces the entire series in the original English-spoken version.
Anyway, I loved watching Duncan McCleod and Joe and Methos ("It's good to be a Myth")with the cat in my lap. I should download some Highlander fanfiction from various sites, after all I guess I will have plenty of time to catch up on my fanfiction-reading.

Stormy weather

Stormy weather in Belgium: rain and wind and falling leaves. I think tonight I will just crawl in the lap of Mylord Malfoy and taste some good wine or rather a good glass of cognac. That should keep me warm, no?

De bladeren beginnen nu goed te vallen. De herfst heeft zijn intrede gedaan, een heerlijk kleurenpalet schilderend in de natuur... Je zou mijn Momiji-esdoorn bonsai eens moeten zien. De kleuren zijn prachtig.

Carlos

Gisteravond mijn nieuwe dubbel-CD van Carlos Gardel beluistert. Opnames van de jaren 1924-1935. Heerlijke tango's. Die man is al meer dan 70 jaar dood maar hij zingt met de tijd inderdaad steeds beter!! Geen wonder dat hij een levende legende is in Argentina.

Buffy

Net op het moment dat ik van plan was om de hele "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" te herbekijken op DVD, herhaalt Kanaal 2 de hele reeks vanaf deze week. Wel iets te vroeg op de avond voor mij maar binnen 2 maand haal ik dat wel in. Heerlijk genieten dus weer van mijn favoriete Slayer Buffy en haar vriendin de heks Willow. Om natuurlijk David Boreanaz en James Marsters niet te vergeten: die twee zijn altijd Yummie Yummie.
Aan het lezen: "Death du Jour" van Kathy Reichs. Het 2de boek in de Temperance Brennan reeks waar het feuilleton "Bones" is op gebaseerd. Het 1ste boek was keigoed dus kijk ik uit naar de hele reeks.
Muziek: Tango en Milonga (moest ik geen dieren hebben dan zou ik waarschijnlijk een lange reis naar Buenos Aires plannen om in de Tango wereld onder te duiken. Maar nee dus, poes en paard gaan voor.) Ook niet echt de periode om C. te vervoegen met die branden en aardbevingen in LA. Gelukkig is het huis van mijn ventje niet getroffen door de vuurzee, al heeft het niet veel gescheeld.

Yesterday one free day spent at home and so happy to be there. Reading and listening to music with the cat on my lap.
If this is the way I will spend some time in 2008 I'm looking forward to it.
