True Lies - 1994
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis. Such a great movie, action and the right amount of humour here and there. Also, the striptease by Jamie Lee Curtis is epic! And unbelievable that she improvised it, didn't use any choreographer. And she wore her own bra and string. Apparently Arnold was present & watching the striptease as it was filmed, so he was sitting in the chair as she danced, and he truly dropped the tape recorder at some point, which they kept in the movie. |

Thinking... the day went by unbelievably fast?!
I had wanted to sew the shirring elastic in my new dress but most of the afternoon got into sorted out the stench in the dishwasher. Sewing machine is set up though. Tomorrow. Maybe. Hopefully! |

The Rock - 1996
With Sean Connery & Nicolas Cage Currently watching a lot of great 90s movies :) This one is just really great, good cast, good acting, lots of action. And Sean Connery using the F word a great number of times, haha. Makes me feel he actually enjoyed being able to do that. Only bummer is that he had to speak BrE as he's supposed to be an ex-SAS. I much prefer Scotsmen speaking with their own Scottish accent :) Sexy as sin! |

You're looking for an intimate encounter, among others, so why ask if you're showing too much?
And for your information, you don't. But I get a sense you are not very confident (the way you carry yourself, the stiffness in your shoulders and laugh etc.) so in that regard I'd say be careful what you get yourself into. Maybe allow yourself time to gain more confidence without getting into potentially harmful situations with strangers. Doesn't mean you can't have fun in life. |

Thinking... it's unbelievably quiet? Now that is not unusual in itself in this village but I don't even hear birds?
Kinda weird. |

🥶 Feel like turning the heat back on.... what happened to spring
Over here we had the best day yet! It indeed got to 25C, wind wasn't too bad and not cold. I wore my shorts today, first time this year! Sat outdoors enjoying the sun in my shorts, a sexy see-through top and barefoot. It was wonderful! |

Apex - 2026
With Charlize Theron. I think I rate it 8. Quite the good movie but also creepy. Not horror kind of creepy but the "bad guy chasing girl" kind. And dammit, is that dude fast! (Taron Edgerton, dude that played Eggsy in "Kingsman: The Secret Service"). The sounds he keeps making, the speed with which he moves, eeekkhh! Not what you'd want chasing you in the wilderness. Charlize does a real good job as well. In that sense a great movie, just that it scared the Bejesus out of me, hihi. I kept telling her "don't go out in the bush without a proper bush knife, you dummass!!" but she didn't listen. |

Happy for ya, Slim!
We have another sunny day! Today it should get to 25C as well :D So far it hasn't been all that warm, this close to the coast the wind tends to be strong and cold. Today should be the exception. |

If the older women think of themselves as cougars, to attract younger guys , they better have assets, otherwise they are just stray cats... IMO that's so not true slim.. every guy I've ever dated (and even married) was younger.. it was unintentional.. I guess I just give off that "mommy" vibe
Dont take it personally ...but a younger guy is always looking for the assets first ..... how do I know this ....I am a guy .. And you certainly have assets... a house, a garden , a shed in the backyard, friends in high place, a snow blower etc etc ....so yeah, I wouldnt dream of calling you a stray cat...... And women always have options to make good or bad decisions....like any man does !!
When talking about other Westerners this is not true at all. I haven't owned a house etc. for decades yet lots of younger men were and are interested in me. It has to do with being more confident as a woman and in that sense being way more attractive. When you turn 40 -approx- you know who you are, what you stand for and what you're worth. That self-confidence is sexy and appealing and it's is what attracts younger men. How do I know... experience! |

I don't like the whole development of AI and the speed with which it is becoming normal to use.
Even my 85 year old stepmother was using it for fun to create funny vids with it? She was laughing and enjoying it, me thinking "have you no awareness of the risks of this stuff?" My son has a paid-for AI thing from Elon Musk I think it was. The stuff that can create is totally amazing? It clearly is big business. I have heard of chatGPT half a year ago and didn't even know what it was. Then my daughter advised me to use it for a photo I wanted to use as reference for a painting but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I indeed used chatGPT and was flabbergasted by what it could do. I have used the AI version of Matthew Hussey, dating coach, when he offered it for free for 14 days. I did get solid advice from it, gave me a lot of insight about certain things in my love life. I am not a fan of this app though. It wasn't until after I used it that I thought of how ridiculous it is and also don't like that a well-known dating coach like Matthew Hussey offers it. Makes it clear in one go he's about making money. When I do a Google search on something I get an AI summary? Yet I have not even switched on the AI mode??? All this chit is taking over the world. As for using it in communication or creating content... never done that and never will. A friend of mine was using an AI program -forgot the name of it- to create so called art. Many others did the same and many even sold it for lots of money. To me that is not art but fake chit. Doesn't deserve the name "art" as far as I'm concerned. It's just scary. The ones with money -and power- use it to gain more money & power. And people will fall for it if you spoon-feed the chit with the label 'entertainment'. By the time it could pose a serious threat it's on everyone's phone. Except for mine. |

astrology's like anything in life where people are concerned.. you'll see things that you feel are "you" but there's always things that aren't.. it's like DNA.. there are DNA traits that say one thing yet in reality.. it's not necessarily the case.. so just like personalities'n astrology.. there's always variances.. The tabloid astrology is like that. Quite a shame it even exists as it gives astrology a bad name. When you dive into the real stuff you'll be amazed how accurate it is and how much it tells you about yourself. A good astrologer can tell you who you are and what you are like in any and every aspect of life without even knowing you! Even things you prefer to keep hidden from people :p It's all in there. And yup, you're right, certain things of it can be used when people want to be mean. Just read this thread and you'll find it. Some manage to take the downside of a sunsign and make it funny. You don't find that here, but there's this book Love on a Rotten Day: An Astrological Survival Guide to Romance that does do that. Absolutely hilarious read, and still 100% accurate! |

I watched Face Off last night.
I couldn't believe it was released in 1997?! Time sure does fly doesn't it. Still a great movie! |

Plenty of sun over here :D
Same as yesterday, and the day before, and the one before etc. We're having a wonderful spring! OT-------- feeling... it's time to make lunch :) Walnut cheese sandwich and a cup of milk. |

Feeling... hungry!! And I'm in the mood for fries. Fries with mayonnaise & satay sauce. And a portion of battered chunks of fish with garlic sauce.
Not sure yet if I will go for that or not... |

When it comes to starsigns you have to take into account that there are always two sides: the positive one, the one that is feeling good & confident etc. Kind of like the empowered version of a sign.
This is what you read in the descriptions. But there's also the other side, the one that is insecure, not empowered and so on. This can sometimes also temporarily change when someone is not feeling well, is ill. I have that last one when I feel under the weather. I'm not a typical Taurus due to the House my sun is in. But when I'm ill or really tired the typical Taurus suddenly can surface. But that's not who I am. As soon as I am well again that's gone. With love matches you also have to look a bit deeper into the subject material. The signs that typically are said to be great matches for me are not good matches at all. Again -for the most part- due to the placement of my Sun in my chart. My ex husband was a Cancer, supposedly a great match, but he wasn't. The typical Cancer trades weren't easy to deal with. Looking at a crab can tell a lot: Their structure & strength is on the outside, they have no backbone. Meaning their appearance can be entirely different from their soft/weak inside. Crabs walk sideways, I've found out this is what Cancers do too. Avoiding confrontation but also necessary conversation about the relationship, raising kids, how to run the house and so on. I had a brief thing with another Cancer, turned out to be a pathological liar. He was just hot air & a truckload of tall stories. I recognise the tall stories bit from my ex-husband too. They create an image with their tall stories which leads back to their impenetrable external shield. Can manifest differently in some. My stepsister is Cancer and extremely mouthy. Maybe her version of the external shield, done to protect/hide her weak inside? My experiences with Virgo aren't great either. Another allegedly great match for Taurus. Goes for female Virgos as well btw. But you always have to look at the bigger picture, the rest of a chart. In love certainly Venus & Moon. |

Thinking... glad I mowed most of the lawn! It was really necessary.
I'd been thinking about painting, much more fun, but still in 2 minds about which scene I want to paint next. |
