Hey, the girl painfully walking with crutches over there? Is me! *waves with a blue crutch, almost loses balance, stops waving* The strained muscle - make that strained muscles defeated me yesterday afternoon and I had to steal the sis' crutches. I had the choice between hers or Henry's because see, those two are real pro as far as broken bones or strained muscles are concerned. It's like a gift. A gift that they shared with me this time apparently - or something *g* I should be walking normally again by Thursday or Friday... which basically means I'll be ready to go right for Weekend of Madness #2 - and this time? We have two more showings. I'm sorta worried about the aforementioned muscles, I'll admit. But we'll see. Maybe they'll remember the forced 'training' of last weekend and they'll be fine *crosses fingers*

I received my first Christmas card, today *g* Twas really lovely. Since I didn't fill any poll going around my flist, I'm really curious as to how many spontaneous cards I'll receive myself *g* Also, I didn't even buy mine yet, so to everyone who I'll send the cards to --I made a nice little list-- if you receive them after Christmas, don't be surprised *cough* I'd originally planned to go and buy them on Monday but huh... I sorta couldn't leave the house after all, so it'll be for later this week, hopefully. Though I'm not worried yet and you could all receive them in time.

Speaking of Christmas, yesterday I downloaded the most famous Christmas song around here, namely Petit papa Noël, which is the song every little French knows --or the chorus at least-- and I thought I'd share with you because... well, just because. The song has been translated in lots of different languages so you may already know about it, mind, but the French version is the original and everything. Worth giving it a try if you're in the right spirit *g*

Okay so don't laugh, but the first version I found is performed by Roch Voisine. Well, that download was first to complete so I picked that one lol The second one is the original song, by Tino Rossi. It goes back to 1946 or something like that. I included that one because the style is really endearing... it's pure 30's-40's and it always makes me smile.

And this has nothing to do with anything but is it Lost Day yet? Isitisitisitisit?

PS: Damn, but Jim looks so bloody hot on those mood icons!! And lookie, the big guy knows how to pout too!

Aw, sorry to hear about the strain thing! *pets muscles in the hopes that they'll get better*

But yayy for Christmas songs! They always make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. ^_____________^

You're a nice masseuse, thanks *g*

This song is so special - it really embodies Christmas to me, well us French *g* It's the song we all learn as soon as we understand that Santa Claus --our Père Noël-- will come to our houses on Christmas to give us pressies *g*

Ack! Poor baby. But yes, Jim is very cute when he pouts.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm pouting right next to Jim lol

Thanks *g*

[crazybutsound]

Aw no! *sits you down, wraps you up in blanket and brings you tea with honey and Stargate episodes* Hope it gets better in time for the weekend, darling.

As for the songs, brilliant! Except the Roch Voisine one does not download and I think that might be because your original file name probably had one of those letters or accents that aren't allowed. I had the sale problem with "Marylène" because I'd forgotten to take out the accent before uploading it, lol. So I'd say check that if you want people to enjoy Roch Voisine's lovely voice, lol. ;-p

Thank you, girl *snuggles deeper in blanket* All you need is a little pampering and the pain fades away a bit *hugs*

Oh thanks for the heads up! I'd put a regular 'e' for Tino Rossi's version but not for Roch Voisine's. I changed it and uploaded the file again, hope it'll work this time *crosses fingers*

Awww... Poor little Mouse. ::hugs you::

and double-Awww... Petit Papa Noël! ::starts singing off-key::
That song always brings a goofy smile on my face... ::stoopid grin::

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the hugs - I don't see the point of being in pain if I can't even get hugs and be pampered by my flist, right? lol

I love all every single Christmas songs, but this one is pretty special alright *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

I'd say 'my poor baby!' but I'm in pain too - instead, I'll just say: "dude, we're sick, let's share a blanket, shall we?" *hands over cookies*

I don't even dare listening to Roch Voisine - I'll stick to my Tino Rossi CD, thanks a bunch lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'll share my blanket with you, honey - we'll snuggle and be in pain together *clings*

And he actually sings it quite nicely, but Tino Rossi is the real thing so I can't say anything lol

Nice icon btw lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

let's hope LJ will let me post this comment, unlike last night

*schnuggles under blanket* waddaya wanna watch?

I just called the doctor, she gave me an early appointment tomorrow morning (she sounded really nice on the phone - goooood)

Thanks, I love that icon *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I had some craving for YnM all of a sudden, but we could watch FB together, or something else entirely. As long as we're snuggling together, I don't care *g*

Early morning? So did you go already?

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

Let's go with YnM (I don't feel like yelling at the translation) *schnuggles*

well, I commented this morning (wednesday) so it's tomorrow tomorrow (thursday)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Cool! YnM it is - woohoo!

Yeah, I saw that with another comment lol

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

so sorry! ::big, big hugs:: for you! take care of yourself - make people bring you things. *g* like chocolate.

the mood icons are too much fun - I think I'm going to have to be "pensive" soon b/c I just love that picture *bg*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I made the family pamper me alright. I mean, I always say : what's the point in being sick or in pain if I can't even be coddled and pampered lol And the flist was a nice touch as well - thanks for the hugs *g*

Sometimes I feel like choosing a mood that doesn't have anything to do with my real current mood just so that I can stare at Jim or Blair or Jim/Blair being all pretty for me lol

[stacy-l.livejournal.com]

(((HUGS)))

I hope you feel better soon. Strained muscles can hurt like a son of a bitch! Get some rest and RELAX! : D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the hugs, Stacy, they were highly appreciated *g*

I'm feeling a really nice difference today and I can walk almost normally already, which makes for a nice change lol

PS: I absolutely adore your icon *loves*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Oh, hun, I hope you feel better soon... do you need me to pop over and massage some Deep Heat in ^_~??!

And thanks for the Christmas songs... I cheated and found the lyrics online, I can't say that I understand everything that's going on... for instance, why do they want a little shoe?? But it is cute nonetheless *snugs*!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling better today, thanks hun *g* But you know, I would never say no to any kind of Deep Heat massage *eg*

You're welcome. I should try and find some others, it could be fun *g*

Ah and the 'petit soulier'? It's where le Père Noël put his gifts back in the days *g* That's what children did back then, they put their petits souliers under the tree - souliers being an old-fashioned way of saying 'chaussures', we don't use 'soulier' now. For instance, the only time when I hear that word is when my grand-father talks about his shoes and he was born in 1915 *g*

I remember putting my shoes under the tree only once with my cousins when we were kids. The rest of the time, it wasn't one of our traditions. We had/have others, but not this one *g*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

It's where le Père Noël put his gifts back in the days *g*

Oh, how cute is that?? I can see why it died out though, you're not gonna get a very big present in a shoe, now are you *grins*?!

And I see that 'soulier' is masculine and 'chaussure' is feminine... *cries* I'm never gonna get the hang of this!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

And big presents are important in a kid's mind lol But hey, the time when children got an orange and candy is over - which I have to say, I sorta was thankful for lol
