    Good evening!!

    I hope that all the last.fm users and readers are very well indeed right now! It's dark outside, quite chilly... I'm going to wash my hair and then the plan is to cuddle up under a newly acquired throw!! :) I love feeling cosy in the evenings when it's dark outside... I am definitely more of a 'winter person'. I love drinking hot chocolate... (It's not Diet Coke, blush... ;) But it's such a lovely warm drink) Yup!! It's a nice, niiiice time...

    (Should I be accompanied by some chill-out music here? A bit of Zero 7? ;) Kick off the shoes, relaxxxx... Err, what other chill-out music is there? I am not the greatest authority when it comes to this genre! I have a compilation album called "Rewind" - I believe that's the title, there's a woman relaxing in a bubble bath on the cover - and it's full of relaxing charming 'feel good' songs. :) I don't really play it that much... Ooooh!! It has Bakerman on it!! I love that song! I remember it being on MTV Europe aaaaaages ago!! I remember the skydivers in the video!! I will have to listen to that song and get it into my last.fm charts!! ;) )

    I have been really enjoying watching my "Fame" DVDs recently. ("Faaaame!!!") How I'd have loved to have gone to a school like that... (What could I have done, though... I can't sing!! And I can't play a musical instrument... Playing "Little Donkey" on a keyboard does NOT count, lol! My acting - I haven't done THAT since the 1980s! LATE 1980s, in fact! So I can't imagine Lydia Grant and co. clamouring to have me. Siiigh.) How I have been loving this show, though! How I love this show! I love the Kids From Fame! :)

    (Ehhh, they don't look like THAT!! Whither Bruno, Doris, Coco, Leroy, ETC? ;) The connected music pic for the KFF is a "Keep Last.fm stats clean" 'picture' that isn't, because it is writing. ;) )

    I would have had a very big crush on Bruno I think - beautiful blue eyes, lovely wavy hair, sensitive, brooding, musical... It is a very good looking cast!! I looked up Lori Singer on the Internet and she is still absolutely beautiful. (She's gorgeous, talented in so many ways; she even plays a perfect cello!!)

    So, "Fame" ("Faaaame!!!") is putting a very big smile on my face right now!! ("Faaaame!!!" ;) )

    What other music, then... Oooh, they are still playing "Crystal Ball" by Keane on that Chart Show TV channel!! I only watch this channel at the gym. Such songs motivate me!! Keep going!! Gooooo woman!!

    (I was not so good at the gym the last time, and this - very nice - man commented that I appeared to be struggling. Hmffff!! Rosa "Paula Radcliffe" Q, struggling? Hmfffffff!! ;) Oh, dear... ;) )

    I was running on the treadmill, and I had this incredible running guy on one side of me (he's INCREDIBLE!! He can run and run, and RUN... ) and ANOTHER incredible running man on the other side of me!! I've got a loooong way to go, loooong... I want to be the best!! Gaah, how arrogant/deluded does THIS sound, huh? Message to self: shut up!! (And it has nothing to do with being an Aries, woman!! Tssss... ;) )

    I think I have written enough... (As per usual!!)
    Love and best wishes,
    Many thanks to anyone who has read this,

    Hello, HELLO, Hello...

    I hope all the last.fm users and readers are well. :)

    (It's raining here... What song comes to mind? How about "Here Comes The Rain Again" by Eurythmics? And I still can't link songs properly, sigh... )

    So, to music, then!! Yaaay!!

    (Oooh!! "Rain or Shine" by Five Star? "I Wish It Would Rain" by Phil Collins? I really like that Five Star song... )

    This week two new albums were added to my collection!! They are "Dreaming Apes" by the fabulous Wolfsheim and "The Point At Which It Falls Apart" by Mesh. (Hey, I can't link songs, I don't think I'll be able to link albums either!! I used to be able to do it, wail... ) My opinions?

    (Hello "Q", "NME", whoever; if you are looking for a new journalist... )

    *chuckle* ;)

    I adore the Wolfsheim album. I love the whole 'feel' of the album. (And the booklet that comes the album is gorgeous - so much care has gone into it. The lyrics are featured in both English and German. It's really quite glossy, beautiful... :) ) "Closer Still" was always a favourite Wolfsheim song of mine - I love the lyrics to that song. I am also very taken with "A New Starsystem Has Been Explored". I will be listening to this album over and over again...

    My rating: Superb!! :D

    The Mesh album - haven't really listened to this 'properly' yet... I love the song "It Scares Me". I do think it sounds a little like Depeche Mode. (And that's a BIIIIIIIIG plus point for me. ;) ) Yes, I like, but possibly upgraded to 'looove' with a 'proper' listen/repeated listens...

    Am loving the song "Feeling Okay" by Tom Hooker right now. It puts a smile on my face...

    Other music? Enjoying Editors "The Back Room"...

    And Kids from Fame "Beautiful Dreamer"... (And more!! :) Is the "Fame" DVD out yet? I cannot wait!! I, cannot, wait-uhhhh... ;) )

    (Have been in this 'mood': I bought "When Harry Met Sally" on DVD recently - it was cheap, though I do really like the film... And then I buy a set of romantic novels!! I am in a soppy mood. What can be said. Aaah, AAAAH... )

    Many thanks to anyone who has read this - lots of love and best wishes,
