Happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] swedish15!!

I know it's already over in Germany, but I wanted to say it again anyway. M'Dear Mister-I-Don't-Want-My-Name-To-Be-Known, I feel extremely lucky of having met you. You're a great guy, with incedible taste in mostly everything, and I wish our fandoms would be the same again, so we could go back to having long philosophical talks about them. :)) Wish you the best. *hugs*

In other news, I just came back home from flamenco class to be happily spoiled on the SPN 2x14 pics. Yes, THOSE pics. The cool as hell pics that made me OMG GASP IN SURPRISE AND DELIGHT AND THAT HAVE MADE ME ROCK IN MY CHAIR FOR THE LAST TEN MINUTES. Those ones. Waaaah, I'm so psyched up about it!! I'm not terribly excited about this Thursday's ep, but the next one? I'M SO THERE. *flails some more*

Anyway, here are the answers to the lyrics meme. Embarassingly enough, I don't remember the names of two of the songs. *HEADDESK* I know one of them is by Kent, but the other one I've no idea. o_O

Mmm, what else? I started reading Rayuela (Hopscotch) by Julio Cortázar today. It is really wordy but good so far. So far, it reminds me a lot of Travesuras de la niña mala by Mario Vargas Llosa, with the Paris scenery and slightly insane characters. I also finished Lullaby, by Chuck Palahniuk yesterday, and al;sdfkja;lsdkjf. So good. Intricate story, awesome characters and the details in this are wonderful, very much real and just on the border of macabre and morbid. A wonderful read, and I so can't wait to get my paws on the rest of this author's books.

I do watch CSI! Or at least, I did, a couple of years ago XD The current schedule just doesn't match up with my life, aww.

Eeeh, thanks! That's kinda... cheesy. o_O But I really like that song.

Lullaby's about this reporter that, when researching on crib death, realizes there's this 'culling' song that used to be sung in Africa to give a peaceful dead to the elderly and sick, and it's been misplaced in an antology of songs from the world. This doesn't do it any justice, though, because it's narrated, ugh, in suuuuch a good way, and has a lot of social meaning. do read it, I know you'll love it. :)

(Also, some friends have told me that the FC book is every bit as amazing as the movie. I really, really want to read it...)
