Yay!!! I am going to get my Viggorli fanzine after all.:))) I love melacita! I have contacted her already, and she wrote me back with her home address, and after she gets my check she will place the order for me. Wonderful! I know I probably won't get it before I leave for New Orleans (two weeks from now!!!), but I hope to see it waiting for me when I come back.:)))))

On a different note, I went to Facets again last weekend (which is this really cool movie theatre and video rental, focusing mainly on international cinema), and there I found a film critics' magazine with an ambitious article on History of Violence. And now I'm sort of scared to see it. From what the article says, it might likely be more disturbing than Indian Runner or Reflecting Skin... or any other disturbing movie that Viggo has ever been in (except maybe TCM3, which was not so much disturbing as plain disgusting). Mainly due to the fact that Viggo's character is not an innocent man forced to act violently by the circumstances - as the initial reviews seemed to imply - but actually the main baddie. And I know he is just too good at playing a baddie sometimes... He usually makes me feel very empathic towards the baddie, and that's precisely what I find disturbing.;) And the sex scenes are said to be rather shocking as well (not necessarily in a good way, lol). Well... can't wait anyway.:D

And this weekend I went shopping for new shoes (since my favorite, comfortably well-worn pair of sandals just fell apart on my feet - and what timing, btw, right before the trip!)... and came back with five CDs instead. Yep, that's me.:) Finally got some stuff I've been meaning to buy for I don't know how long...

Like The Cranberries' first album, which I used to have but somebody borrowed from me and lost (so now I got a re-release with some additional tracks), or Loreena McKennitt's The Visit, which I also used to have on a badly copied tape that I didn't even take to the US with me. I bought it mainly for the enchanting song The Old Ways... but the funniest thing is I never noticed it was a special edition with a DVD containing a documentary and some videoclips. Seriously. I only found that out at home. Lucky me! (LOL) I also got two Tori Amos' albums that I somehow didn't have before: The Beekeeper and To Venus and Back. Tori Amos is genius, but that's not really saying anything new, is it? I have only had time to listen to them once, so the actual gushing might come later, after I fully absorb all the content.;) And the fifth CD is something I found purely by accident, having no idea it even existed. Sinead O'Connor: Collaborations. And my, is it grooooovy.;) Some of those songs I had heard before - from the radio, or a badly copied tape, or something like that - but most are new to me, and most are delicious. I love the understated soulfulness that Sinead can put into anything at all... After all, she used to be my goddess.:) And some of my infatuations never really end... :P


OK, time to go to bed. Btw, I just had a nice unexpected YIM chat with miladyhawke. Yet another thing to make me smile.:) Even if I'm going to feel like a zombie in the morning...:/

I'm sure I will have nightmares after I see HoV, but it's not gonna stop me at all.;) And it was a really nice surprise to have MH pop up on my computer screen...:) even though I should have already gone to bed by then, and if I don't get more sleep tonight, I'm going to have a headache.:/
