Not-Random Fact:
Happy Birthday x5_536! It's the right date in my neck of the woods so I don't feel like I'll bring you bad luck if I wish it to you now lol I hope your day was/will be fantastic - maybe you'll get to eat a Fish cake? [/lame-o joke] Also, I'm thinking about you a lot re: You Know What *hugs*

Random Fact 1:
I slept ten hours last night! Dozed off around 1.00 am and just fell asleep and yes! I hadn't slept so well in *thinks* more than a month. Pure bliss *happy sigh*

Random Fact 2:
I love Domino Day, whee! Never miss it and yesterday was no exception and woohoo Europe broke a new world record: 4.155.476 dominoes fell *bounces* And it was gorgeous and amazing as usual [/domino geek]

Random Fact 3:
I watched most Hustle - ie I'm afraid I don't have any new episodes left to watch - and I absolutely adore it! I seriously can't get enough of the interaction between the characters. Also Mickey is awesome and I love him even more when he's amused and smiling or laughing - usually at Danny's antics, btw. When I think I saw him as cold and distant at first *shakes head* I mean sure he is that, in a way, but at the same time he's so not! Anyway, love Mickey. Actually, all the characters are always cracking up at Danny - which makes them look a) so realistic and b) so much like family - and I also wonder, did they smile so often before Danny came into the gang?

But anyway, it's brilliant and seriously funny, I don't count the times when I'm bursting into laughter at what one of the character said - usually Danny - and I'll be watching the episodes all over again this weekend, methinks *nods* Also, I'll have to pay attention to the third season that will air in 2006. Dude, I hope I won't miss it *chews at lower lip* Also? GIP. Look what the wonderful crazybutsound made for me! I just couldn't resist asking her for that caption and seriously, didn't she make the best Hustle icon you've ever seen? *kisses Jem*

Random Fact 3b:
Hustle quote: "I'm too pretty to go to prison... I would never get any sleep" [Danny]

Random Fact 4:
The torrent for Numb3rs 2x08 finally appeared and I'm downloading it and squeeee Numb3rs!

Random Fact 5:
Am working on my latest TS fic, squee x2.

Random Fact 6:
It's getting colder these days - I think it's around 3° today - and yay I love cold, the air smells different and I love it. Maybe we'll get snow in Ile-de-France again this year *fingers crossed*

You like the cold? I knew you liked the snow, which I can understand (though *shudder* not share), but the cold? Argh, you can have all the snow that's started to fall on Bucharest if you send me all the "excess" degrees from there (2° here *shudder*)

The torrents had been there a while ago ;-)

I love the cold *g* I quite dislike heat which is why I'm always disappointed when we have a "warm" September/November because I'm always impatient to reach Cold Time so if the summer keeps going and going, well I'm not a happy camper. But it seems the cold is finally here so yay!

It wasn't when I checked. What, you're telling me it was hiding and I could have started earlier? *gasp* Come to think of it, do not tell me, thanks lol

slept ten hours last night!

Good for you! Maybe this is the start of the end of the nasty insomnia.

I love Domino Day, whee! Never miss it and yesterday was no exception and woohoo Europe broke a new world record: 4.155.476 dominoes fell *bounces* And it was gorgeous and amazing as usual [/domino geek]

I'm still amazed I actually "know" someone who LOVES DOMINO DAY OMG YAY! And, um, I might be just a bit overexcited but hey, it's dominoes! *g*

I watched most Hustle

And I'm off to watch it now. If I stay up all nigh again to watch it, I'm blaming you. Just so you know. ;)

and yay I love cold, the air smells different and I love it.

And now I'm just scared 'cause obviously, we share a brain. I love cold. I love the way the air smells when it's cold and I love how alive cold makes me feel. I really love cold and it's getting colder by the day and everybody is complaining but I couldn't be happier about it. *happy sigh*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'd love it if the nasty bout of insomnia was slowly leaving *nods*

Re: Domino Day + the cold thing? Omg how did we do when we weren't on each other's flist? *clings*

And I'm off to watch it now. If I stay up all nigh again to watch it, I'm blaming you. Just so you know. ;)

Blame me all you want, mate - I'm used to being blamed for new addictions I inflict on other people - but don't forget to write a review afterwards! *bounces*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

please please please snow! *does the snow dance*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I really believe it will because the last three years were kind to me. I just hope it won't change this year. I'm getting used to having snow every year again *bounces*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Great Pumpkin has to be good with you this year again!

Re: RF #1 - yay you!

Re: RF #2 - I've never heard of Domino Day but I'm a)not surprised *you* know all about it and b)I love dominoes too so I think Domino Day is most likely as neato-peato as it sounds.

Re: RF #3,#3b,#4 - yakkity yakkity-yak

Re: RF #5 - OMG!!! This is the best news ever and then some!! See me bouncin'? Cos I'm bouncin' here. *g* yay!! and oh yeah...yay!!

Re: RF #6 - We had our first snowfall on Thursday this week. It was only about a half inch and it's all mostly melted already. But it was SNOW, girly-girl! SNOW I say!! Woooo & Weeeee...I'm a cold weather gal too. Time to dust off the showshoes. Yippeee

Re:2 There is no Domino Day in the states? How sad! I guess it's a competition between Asia and Europe, then? Though the last ones were only Europeans, IIRC - Asia only played once, maybe.

But dude it's awesome... the tableaux they create are simply amazing. The theme this year was "Fairy Tales and Ledengs". Stunning!

Re:5 LOL Thanks for the encouragement and all :-)

Re:6 Hee I'm so jealous! But happy for you cause cold weather gals should always have snow *nods*

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

No, no Domino Day here. :-(

*wonders if she should spend time at work on Monday googling "Domino Day" to try to find information and photos*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Too bad, really :-(

You can try here (http://www.dominodomain.com/) for some info. I wish they posted more pictures because the tableau are just... so beautiful and so incredibly done! I watch it every year and each time I'm blown away by the expertise of those people.

It's also a great team work as team builders come from all of Europe.

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Nope...no Domino Day here. :(

Was this the same Domino Day where a sparrow flew in and knocked over 23,000 dominoes? In Amsterdam?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

*nods* Domino Day is held in the Netherlands, so yes.

People from all Europe participate - countries send a team of "Builders" [Bâtisseurs in French] who are chosen after some selections and stuff. Then, all the Builders go to Holland where they'll stay for two months to work on the dominoes. The area they use is big as two football [soccer] stadiums or 38 tennis courts. Imagine the work it demands to fill the room!

And this year they broke a new World Record, wheee!

Are you insomniac-al again? Isn't it like the middle of the night where you are?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Kinda. It's 2.20 am here. Am going to bed and try to sleep. Try being the keyword. But well at least it worked yesterday, it's still something :-)

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Maybe if you tried thinking of Jim and Blair? Jim doing, um, *stuff* to Blair and Blair doing, er, *stuff* to Jim and oh wait, instead of making you sleepy that'll probably have the opposite effect. heee eeeeeek *eg*

And! Oh! Hey! Thank you for mentioning me on your favorite TS stories meme. ::blushes:: You're such a sweetie. *smooch*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Not exactly the best way to make me sleepy, indeed lol

And you're welcome! I mean, I love your work, it's only reasonable I'd rec it, right? *kisses*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

I love your icon so much I'm now downloading a series I know almost nothing about!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm so GOOD! Yay to you trying that series, SAM! If you like it, don't forget to let me know, I wouldn't mind even more squeeing *g*
