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

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!

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?

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. :)
