My dear little boy Eddie passed away 25.11 2011 due to liver failure (only 4 years old) and my new baby Wilda was born 1.12 2011...
I've heard somewhere that people think that when we die the soul stays here on earth for a week and then it goes away...is it a coincidence that my babyboy died almost a week before this little lady was born?...I like to think that there's a connection...and they are both from the same breeder...and was it also a coincidence that I happened to visit this breeder's website the time I did and now have this beautiful girl here with me? I don't believe in much but I'd like to believe in this, maybe it was ment to be...and maybe Eddie is her guardian angel now...
I bought this little girl yesterday. She's a Maltese and her name is Wilda. (=Wild)
She's now a little over 10 weeks old and weighs 1,3 kg / 2,9 lbs...
I went to see the dentist today and she pulled out my second wisdom tooth...
She really had to work this one though...took probably about 5 minutes to get it out...last time it took less than 1 minute...but now for the disgusting part, the blood...yak! I'm spitting crazy much blood people!! And the taste is awful, I sure as hell aint no vampire but then again I'm tasting my own blood, hmm, could be that, just kidding...man, I cannot wait until this day is over!
Now I'm just gonna take a painkiller and read some fanfiction...
There are some very talented writers out there who just need to publish something and get rich!
First I didn't even know what kind of show that was, so I went online to check it out...(to imdb.com) and read what people thought of the show...and someone posted something about Angie Harmon's voice being annoying...and that's what got stuck in my head...I had to know! So I gave it a try and MAN was I in for a suprise...Angie Harmon has THE SEXIEST VOICE on this whole god damned planet. And she's not bad looking either!!! Damn!! And then for the next suprise...Sasha Alexander...and I died and went to HEAVEN! I have never ever seen someone so beautiful as her, in my entire life. And those eyes...she's like the goddess of all goddesses. Period!
And of course then there's the rest of the cast that is absolutely amazing! Lorraine Bracco is hilarious, I love that woman... :)
Actually, when I chose the name I didn't think much of it...it just sounded cool I guess...but now it kind of makes sense to me.
Last year I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer and had the whole thyroid gland removed, so now I'm living without a thyroid and have to take thyroxine for the rest of my life...AND so I stumbled upon this article on the internet and it hit me...living without a thyroid can actually kill you...IF you don't take the synthetic thyroid hormones (thyroxine). I'd say the majority of the population doesn't know exactly how important this little thingy is. And small it is...weighting about 25 grams. The hormones that it produces regulate many things in the human body...it controls blood pressure, heart rate, metabolism, muscles, body weight and body temperature...so basically no thyroid and no hormones means no life = No pulse anymore...
I have to confess that this "coincidence" is kind of creepy...but also interesting...
Here's the article....
There’s a small, butterfly-shaped organ that lies in the neck just below the Adam’s apple called the thyroid gland. Most people take this hard-working organ for granted. But don’t underestimate its importance. Can you live without a thyroid gland – or is it necessary to sustain life? Can You Live Without a Thyroid Gland? You can live without a thyroid gland, but you won’t survive very long without the hormones this gland produces. These hormones, T3 and T4, have an effect on every cell in the body by controlling the rate with which they use energy and oxygen – the body’s metabolic rate. Not surprisingly, people who are deficient in thyroid hormone, a condition called hypothyroidism, gain weight and feel very tired. Because of the role thyroid hormone plays in brain function, a deficiency of thyroid hormone can cause depression, memory problems, and even psychosis. So important is the role of thyroid hormone in growth and development that if a deficiency occurs early in life it can cause severe mental retardation and serious growth delays. Even in cases of thyroid hormone deficiency, the body still produces enough thyroid hormone to sustain life. With no thyroid hormone, bodily functions would soon grind to a halt as cells are no longer able to produce energy. Can you live without a thyroid gland? Not for long – unless you replace the missing hormones the thyroid produces. Some People Do Live Without a Thyroid Gland Even though the hormones the thyroid produces are essential to life, some people do live without a thyroid gland. Some people have most or all of their thyroid gland removed because of thyroid cancer or due to a severely overactive thyroid gland that doesn’t respond to other treatment. A very small percentage of people are born without a thyroid gland. Fortunately, the missing thyroid hormone can be replaced with synthetic thyroid hormone. People taking synthetic thyroid hormone can lead a normal life, although it’s important to keep their thyroid hormone levels regulated by checking blood levels regularly. Can You Live Without a Thyroid? Yes, but only if you replace the missing thyroid hormones. These hormones are necessary for human life. References: Merck Manual. Eighteenth edition. 2006.
So I got the damn car to finally move...thank god! But it's too late for shopping now so I'm gonna wait until tomorrow for that...the fridge just have to bare with me for now...soon I'm gonna fill it up :P
Patience! Ha...
What I HAVE to do now is clean my apartment...looks like a tornado went through *sigh*
Okey so yesterday I was gonna go shopping, well at least buy some groceries since my fridge is almost empty...BUT as I start my car I notice that I'm stuck, like really stuck...
Both rear brakes are frozen and I can't get out of there. So after about half an hour I give up and go inside to calm down...okey so sometimes I just wanna scream: Do NOT buy an Opel...EVER...but then again I really love this car, when it's functioning that is! Today, I guess I just blame the weather...It's sooo freaking cold out there...
I'm about to give it a try again today...
And if it does not budge this time I'm gonna have to pull out the big gun...my dear blow dryer...
Man this sucks!
Rizzoli & Isles, TNT’s new buddy cop drama featuring tough Detective Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and medical examiner Dr. Isles (Sasha Alexander) is not terribly original. It seems like a deliberate pastiche of every police procedural of the last twenty years – the same lines, the same scenes, the same crimes. What TNT hopes sets it apart is that it is female-driven, with Rizzoli and Isles solving all the bloody mysteries without need for the guys to explain it all. That’s fabulous and all, but what really sets it apart is how amazingly gay it is without actually being gay. They’re like the female version of Ace and Gary of The Ambiguously Gay Duo, if Ace and Gary were hot female cops– except it’s a real show and they’re actually seriously supposed to be straight.
I admit to having little interest in this show before the pilot aired. Police procedurals inevitably put me to sleep, and since there is currently eleventy jillion of them on television right now, R&I was low on my list of things to watch. That was until the lesbian internet bloodhounds picked up on the obvious tension between characters and it became my duty to watch.
After I watched the pilot, I had to make sure I wasn’t actually watching a revival of Nikki & Nora or LadyCops. Then I realized that either the writers of R&I are the most naïve people on the planet outside of St. Olaf, or they are playing a hilarious game of “how lezzie can we make these two without people noticing they’re gay?”: Is having them sleep in the same bed in the first episode too much? Nah. We can just say…they’re conserving heat. What about having them play softball together and then go out for a romantic dinner followed by a candle lit lounge session on the couch?
Either way, you have the makings of an epic drinking game, and an extremely entertaining reason to watch. I fully realize that subtext, as a lesbian viewer, can be annoying as hell. It’s the ultimate tease, and as a grizzled veteran of Otalia, Law & Order:
SVU, Xena, etc, I understand the need for payoff as well as anyone. The difference with this show is that R&I is already gay to anyone with functioning eyes and a frontal lobe. It’s funny because it’s obvious to everyone but the main characters (and arguably, the writers, depending on how much credit you want to give them). The crime maintext is humdrum crap at best, but the obvious lesbian subtext, which is dutifully ignored, inspires outright laughter. There’s only one way to enjoy it more, and that’s to add alcohol.
The Rules
The rules are fairly simple: one drink/shot of your choice every time one of the following criteria is met. In order to avoid inducing mass liver failure, you can limit the game to a 5 shot maximum. Knock one back every time:
1. Either Rizzoli or Isles tries to forcibly/awkwardly set the other up with a man, usually after spending the evening talk about each other – this also includes nudging each other to date someone of the male persuasion right at the end of a long, intimate scene between them.
2. Engaging in any stereotypical lesbian behavior – including softball, home repair, etc.
3. Friends/parents/relatives of Rizzoli and Isles trying to set them up with people other than each other.
4. Intimate dinners – including restaurant variety, home variety, and in any case where one cooks for the other and there are candles and wine present.
5. Sleeping in the same bed/couch/squad car – bonus, 2 shots.
6. Stares lasting longer than 3 seconds.
7. Adorable bickering which generally relates to sexual tension (use your best lesbian discretion).
8. One of them saying, “I’ll come along,” in a situation where she need not be present, and providing a dumb, unrelated reason for it. Example, “I’m going to interrogate a suspect.” “I’ll come along…I’ve always liked the peanut M&Ms in the break room.”
9. Going out for drinks together and rebuffing/eliminating any and all male interaction.
10. Any character telling Rizzoli & Isles they “make a great team” with a straight face.
11. Complaining to each other about their inability to find a compatible mate, all while being completely compatible mates.
12. Rescuing/saving/protecting one another above and beyond the call of duty, especially when it involves excessive hugging and touching.
13. Touching hands for any extended length.
Hmm...okey so basically you will end up drunk after each episode..heheh!!!
This interview is hilarious! Part 1: They discuss the Rizzles drinking game :)
Love that woman!!!
So I decided to make a blog in english instead...don't know if I'll keep the other blog...too many painful memories I guess...I need to move on...
Life is far from fair...
I don't know yet what I'll be posting on this blog...it'll probably be more about pictures and videos and stuff like that...small things that'll make my day a little brighter I guess...but we'll see...
