"Remembrance fallen from heaven,
And Madness risen from hell,
Strength without hands to smite,
Love that endures for a breath;
Night, the shadow of light,
And Life, the shadow of death."

/Atalanta in Calydon - Algernon Charles Swinburne/

Velvet Goldmine

Yeah. Still weird. Requires a certain mood to watch it.

Still, since I stumbled over Ziggy Stardust's name like a hundredth time in a book I just had to watch the thing again.

So... what to say? It's still the same thing my brain screams. Curt Wild... whoa. (I'm guessing it's totally obvious I'm preferring the male looking crass rocker in the leather pants - when he actually bothers wearing clothes - to the feminine jailbait)

So... Weird movie. I guess it might have started out as a Bowie-Iggy thing, but Bowie was only saying he was bi because he wanted to be new and exciting. If you look at his track record and what his wife (ex?) is saying... he was anything but. And that guitar licking? So wasn't as hot as in the movie.

And yeah. That guitar licking was smoking hot. They win hands down. It was believable. Reeally. Hot.

...ummm... yeah... Curt Wild...

Here, that special scene. (WILL contain female nudity, not much male nudity at all, is very suggestive and not HD)

Teh package in question

Yeah. Yesterday? April's fools. Obviously.

This is the package that arrived. No, the ring is not gold, it's actually silver, gold plated. With lab grown sapphires and zircons.

The fuurin was something I was ecstatic about. I mean I wanted one for ages and nobody sells them in Hungary. I'm so lucky it survived the trip!

The ring? Perfection. It fits my finger just right.

The kitteh? Pure adorableness.

Many, many thanks, Cliff! ^^

Oh boy...

Well.

Huh.

The timing... sucks. But oh boy. It's a done deal now.

I'm still high on adrenaline and feel all pink and fluffy inside.

Technically, he asked me a few weeks ago, after which he went in search for a ring. He remembered I wanted sapphires. After a year!!! It was the nth ring that I choose but hell, the guy has patience. And what a ring!! I love it!! (I hope my folks love it too because it has some diamonds in it and it cost a lot!) And he went down on one knee all proper... gosh it was so formal and... (will you laugh at me?) just perfect.

So... he is gonna meet my folks soon (I guess he should have met them first but what the hell, I don't actually care), but he is so adorable my folks will totally love him too. (My grandma tho, she'll have an aneurysm. ^^)

What's there not to love?
