Okay, calling all tech-savvy people: What is the latest and greatest in MP3 players these days? I am not a computer whiz so i have no objection to Apple; I AM a computer moron so the device should be relatively easy to operate. Currently I am a not-so-proud owner of a really scuffed-up 2G iPod nano. (Damn I'm conservative when it comes to music technology!!! Remember Ye Olde Discman? Jebus... *headdesk*)
Thanks for your help.

P.S. Pics will be in soon, give a girl time to adjust to her new acquisition dammit!:D

Hello.

How've you been?

Mindset: curious

It appears I have no phone. :(
I shall have a new one as soon as possible.

Don't worry, I'm still alive and reachable by MSN or email.

Love licks and kisses,
Lulu.

Me: Well, I made a resolution a long time ago not to try to change my personality for any man....

Guigui: Not "change my personality", just "change everyone around me"... ;) 

Me: No, just find someone who can endure me as I am, and be happy. And i think i have...

Thank you, my sweet, for loving me with the neuroses, the complexes, the mood swings and the bizzarre music tastes. 

Hugs and Kisses....

Lulu :)

P.S. Party in 2 hours!!!!!!! *LE SQUEEE*

Mindset: Tipsy

Allow me to introduce....

Mindset: happy

In answer to all the doubts that arose after the pics i posted yesterday:
WORRY NOT.... THEY ARE (STILL) REAL. :D Guillaume takes extra time to check every day, usually several times a day. :P
No augmentation surgery took place. 
And I'm starting to think people just use this as an excuse to cop a feel... ;) 

Mindset: amused

So, as you may already know, Guillaume and I now live in a loft near the old porc :D:D. 
And that means... very soon there's going to be the first-ever LOFT RAVE.
(I am thinking beginning of October).
So what i wanted to know, as there's going to be quite a few people, would you prefer:

A. BYOB?? Bring your own boobs, booze, etc??

or, rather...

B. A  COVER with OPEN BAR on whatever tasties i will drag in from the SAQ??? (To be specific, there will be a sexy-a$$ barmaid shakin' up the drinks at the bar...;) 

And, of course, a gorgeous RUSSIAN STRIPPER for your viewing pleasure. That goes without saying. :D [Guillaume insisted that i add this part;) ]

P.S. As for the music...We promise something nice and stompy with a good beat, all night. You know... the stuff you wish you heard when you go out. ;)

Mindset: jubilant

Yay I'm back online!!!!!
So... what else is new?
My new apartment fucking rocks my socks. :P Something tells me of big noisy parties coming in the near future...
Ebola is rather happy running around on the roof. 
This part of the old port is delightfully old and creepy and photo-friendly.
God, I don't know what to do with all that space!!!

Love licks and kisses,
A very ecstatic Lulu

   Metro 2033, by Dmitri Glukhovski
   

   The year is, you guessed, 2033. Most of humanity has been wiped out in a large-scale nuclear war, and the remains of the population of Moscow are now living in the world's biggest bomb shelter- the Moscow Metro. With the way to the surface cut off forever because of radiation, the metro is divided into stations turned city-states, all warring for remains of resources. 
   The main character, Artem, has to go on a quest across the mutant-infested tunnels of the metro to save his station- and all the remaning humans- from a new species that is attacking them from the surface.
It all sounds like your typical pulp sci-fi crappy novel, but... it isn't. 
   What struck me from the very beginning was that, despite the colorful descriptions of mutants, giant rats, diseases, and other dangers of the metro, the biggest monsters were still other humans. Instead of uniting to avoid destruction, the station sity-states turned against each other: you have your capitalist trade alliance, your Red Line- territory of radical communists, your Fourth Reich (yup...), and even your crazy, Great Worm-believing, cannibalistic cult of radiation victims. And they are all at each other's throats, all the time. 
Makes the mutants seem kinda harmless, I thought...
Well, i turned out to be partially right.
The atmosphere in this book is so blood-chilling, of darkness, despair, and terror, that i could not read it at night... Not just cause I'm a wuss. :) And the ending.. left me sitting there with my jaw in my lap, so  hopeless and stupid it really made me lose a little more faith in humanity.
I hear they already made a computer game. But the only way to make this book into a game would be to take away the message, the meaning, the thinking part, and leave only the labyrinths, the monsters and the pretty special effects. What a bore. 
I can't wait for it to be translated into English.

All right, let's get rubbery....

No regrets.

God I'm proud of myself.

Dear LJ:

YEAH.

First, a little rant on bra selection. 
Why is it so damn hard to find a bra without, you know, shenanigans??? For example, i see this gorgeous black lacy thing across the store, i rush towards it holding my breath... only to find my fingers sinking into squishy gelatinous mass on its inside. I mean, when more than half the volume of your chest is the padding on your bra... there's a problem. Not only is it false advertizing, it fools absolutely no one. And why the HELL does a D-CUP need padding anyway??? If D is not big enough, just get implants already.  
In related news... it seems that from this day on, I officially wear 34D. :D You can hate me now.

So, Crash tonight it is, then.
I notice the whole medical fetish thing is on the rise again. Sure, it's better than Asian schoolgirls, and who doesn't look good in a nurse outfit? ;) But, on my part... does a medical PHOBIA count as a medical fetish? I recall a certain occasion where the mere sight of a syringe made me throw a rather disgraceful  fit of panic. And it's been like that pretty much since kindergarten, to the point where i put off check-ups indefinitely because just thinking of having my blood sample taken makes me break out in cold sweat. I know, i know.... I do everything wrong and I'm going straight to hell. 
(Oddly, if the purpose is esthetic, I'm pretty cool with needles. I can endure a 3-hour tattoo session, but one prick of a scalpel on my finger... god forbid. Am I alone or are there other abnormailties like me?! ;))

Okay.. so i think that's all for now.
Unrelated P.S.: Yes, i am neurotically perfectionistic. And i refuse to apologize.

Mindset: crazy

So.. who's going to Crash this thursday?
I will be there in something white and shiny, to cheer on as the lovely amellya gets suspended. :D
See ya.

I have a computer to call my own now. Thanks Guigui. :P
I've been craving my Internet fix like a crack addict.
It's good to be back.
Time for some book reviews, what do you say???

...I'm so lucky to have him!!!

Mindset: tipsy

It's funny, I just realized...
I was lazing on the couch, exhausted after a gym session, and then a song popped up at random that I used to love when I was like 14 or 15. And it occurred to me that all the craziest, wildest dreams I had at that age either came true or are about to come true.
Go figure...
