RANDOM STUFF

[jenni_blog]

When I'm too tired to do anything else and feel like taking a nap I usually lie there and think for awhile before falling asleep. This is what I thought about right before my last nap:

1. I had recently bought an almond croissant from the cafe and brought it home. I thereupon decided to slice it open lengthwise and fill it with Nutella, spreading it on top of the almond paste filling that was already there. It was dusted on top with icing sugar and tasted delicious. However, if I have too many carbs I fall asleep and that is exactly what happened. Oh, and I will do 50 extra turns on my Ab Circle Pro the next time I use it. LOL.

2. I've been reading over some of my old unfinished Tolkien fanfic, Ilmare the Handmaiden in particular, in which the daughter of Manwe and Varda vehemently objects to her status in life. I am doing this with a view to finishing these stories and posting them in my celebrian_found journal. I am still shocked that Manwe and Varda would not include their son and daughter among the Valar, choosing to make them Maiar instead. And Varda deciding that Ilmare would be her handmaiden? Really! Do these people not know about teenage rebellion? They are the Valar, for Pete's sake!

3. I was trying to analyze Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid player by player to see if I could come up with an analytical approach to determining which team I think will win in their Champions League rounds. Would it surprise anyone that they came out even, with Spurs edging Real Madrid on defense and forward players, but Real Madrid winning on midfielders and coaching? Another method of determining the winner is to look at where each team stands in their respective league. This method would have Real Madrid coming out the winner (2nd place in the league) vs Spurs (5th place).

4. The Copa Libertadores is the BEST tournament ever! :) The Libertad (Paraguay) vs Once Caldas (Colombia) game was pure pleasure to watch. There is not one bad-looking player on Libertad. In fact, I have chosen Asuncion as my next vacation destination after another visit to Europe. It is a city of about 520,000 and 65% of the population is under 30. :)

5. Rugby is a very interesting sport. I was watching Wales vs France and was completely enthralled. Especially by #10 for Wales. :P

Tasty croissant but I feel the extra fat already on my waist! :(

You have NEVER read any Tolkien fanfiction?

LOL.

I would like to find out for myself what Paraguayan men are really like! I know they cannot ALL be Roque Santa Cruz! :P

France won, yes! They are good! :)

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]

*lol* I never feel the fat :(

You will find out how the paraguayan men are (I would love they all would be like Roque or SaSa)

France lost vs fucking shit Italy before and so England is the winner of the Six Nations tournament!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

It is best not to worry about fat and such things and just enjoy! Life is too short...

LOL @ Paraguayan men! I would love to sit in a cafe and watch them go by...

Oh no! France lost to fucking shit Italy????? Good for England I guess. Awww...my poor French bbs! :(

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]

My body found the wight ut loves... I cannot fight against my body for my whole life!

Hahahahahhahaha maybe we can sit in a street café next year here too *hugs*

France lost with only ONE point!!!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Your body is fine. :)

Oh YES, we will sit in a street cafe in Berlin and watch all the pretty boys and interesting people go by! I can't wait! *HUGS*

It's very shitty for France to lose by ONE point only! :(

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]

You know years are flying.....

Unlucky french boys....

Rugby is fun! Slightly depressing though, when your national team misses the grand slam by apparently forgetting how to play - but that's hardly a new thing for me as an English person!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I like rugby too. And as a Toronto resident I understand completely, since this city seems to put a curse on ALL sports teams. :(

I bet you normally have difficulty falling asleep? That's a lot stuff to think about...I do the same sort of thing though...LOL. Sometimes in the middle of it all I just think, why at xx time of night am I lying here spending half an hour trying to figure out what Jose's Mourinho's starting lineup should be?

So you are planning on going to Paraguay? Have you ever been to any other parts of South America?

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

*sigh* You guessed right...I usually have trouble falling asleep. Not always, but if there is stuff on my mind, then it's brutal. Sometimes I can fall asleep OK if I'm tired, but then I'll awake during the night or early morning...not good! :(

Hahahaha...like you, I tend to make analyses of different things. Like figuring out player by player how Tottenham Hotspur stacks up against Real Madrid.

Haha...well, I was not exactly thinking of going to Paraguay until I watched a match being played at Club Libertad's stadium in Asuncion. So I looked up Asuncion on Wikipedia. It looked pretty interesting, but not really as interesting as Montevideo, Uruguay. Then I checked flights from Toronto to both places...even though Montevideo is farther away, it is cheaper to fly there. The best bet would be to fly to Montevideo and arrange some expeditions elsewhere, say, to Buenos Aires, Asuncion, maybe even Santiago, Chile. It would be an extremely interesting trip for sure, but it's probably years away for me!

[lady--croft.livejournal.com]

Is it cheaper to fly direct to Buenos Aires and go to Uruguay from there? Buenos Aires is such a popular destination so it should have decent rates. The Toronto Star recently did a feature on Montevideo/Uruguay noting that you can take a high speed ferry ride between Buenos Aires to Montevideo - it only takes 2 hours and is relatively cheap. You could maybe start the trip in Buenos Aires and move on from there. My roommate and I are trying to plan a vacation something like that within the next few years.

That croissant sounds delicious. Must pack a lot of calories, but who cares, one is not eating that all the time, after all! :)

I don't think I've ever read any of your Tolkien fic! Though if you write about the Silmarillion mainly, I suppose I wouldn't understand anything anyway because I haven't read it yet. But as soon as I have, I'll check out your Tolkien journal! :)

I'm very curious about Real Madrid vs Tottenham. I can imagine you're dreading it, knowing that one of them will be eliminated? *hugs* But considering that it's these two teams, I'm sure they'll give us two very entertaining matches. :)

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, croissants are terribly rich and fattening. But like you said, one is hopefully not eating them every day!

No, you probably haven't read any of my Tolkien fic! I have written some LOTR stuff which is at a few fanfic sites, but mostly Silmarillion fic. *sigh* I haven't posted anything yet at my Tolkien journal. I need to do that. :/

I really think Real Madrid will go through and I am thrilled for them! At the same time I am thrilled for Spurs because they have had a great unprecedented run...and it's Real Madrid's time to go much farther in the Champions League! I think I'll make a post of my analysis of the two teams player by player. I've already figured it out on paper, so why not post it? It would be fun to see how my 'predictions' actualize in reality! XDDD

Oh, and this series will be EPIC. I canot WAIT for the pics so I can iconize all the great moments!!! :)

Oh I love croissants. ♥ I've never had one with nutella but I hear they're very good

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Very good, yes. Fattening also. But I was surprised when I checked the 'ingredients' on the Nutella label and found that the stuff is really not that bad for you! ;)
