Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec …

Likeness of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

My dad was an artist at heart and a (computer) System’s Analyst by trade. When I think of my dad the only artist that comes to mind is Lautrec. My dad identified with him on several levels.

I have a Lautrec lithograph. It reminds me of my dad.    
  
A very wonderful person talked a lot about a movie he liked. He got me sorta curious so I took the time to watch it. Moulin Rouge … I remembered that was where Lautrec hung out in his day so when I heard the name of the movie I was instantly reminded of my dad. I had a feeling before I even watched it that I would love it.

I was not let down. It’s sorta quirky … who knew Ewan McGregor could sing :-| … but it’s really good. I definitely don’t regret watching or buying it.    

Today I am sharing two images. They are Lautrecs. They remind me of my dad and another amazing person I know. x

Sooo … on to the books …

Undead and Unemployed … second book in a vampire series by Mary Janice Davidson. I didn’t realize that I had the 1st in the series so I will be reading that next. Lite vampire chick-lit, not really a romance just funny and an easy read. If you read it you will be reminded of me. LOL

The Trudeau Vector by Juris Jurjevics. It’s a Thriller. I’m honestly impressed by this author’s first novel. Well researched. Takes place at an Arctic Circle Research station. There are two stories going on … a female epidemiologist arrives in the Arctic to investigate mysterious deaths and an old Russian Admiral is sent to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a Russian submarine. The two stories are related and combine by the end of the book. I recommend it.  

Both were good for what they were. Something I noticed :-| each book had 2 sex scenes … Vector was a lot more graphic but that story in general felt a lot more real.

The Song of the Day …

Rihanna
“You Don’t Love Me (No, No, No)”

[Chorus]

No no no
You don’t love me and I know now
No no no
You don’t love me so let me go now
(I can’t let you go, can’t let you go)
If you ask me, baby
I shoulda left you along time ago, no

[Verse 1]

Playas gonna play
a least thats what they say
Well I know that for myself now
(You know I love you)
You said you loved me babe
Then you played your game
A game that I know all to well now
Well I use to buy your lines
But it’s time for me to sail now

[Chorus]

[Rap]

First you tellin me no
But please tell me yes
without some of this stress
Straight up tell me yes
Gimme the keys to ya chest
Ya chest will rise neva rest
As ya chest you got me feelin like i’m climbin on Mount Everest
Hey Rihanna
Your lovin really put me to the test
But if you shoulda let me soon the answer will yes
Yes to this yes to that yes to whateva you suggest
So please say yes
No no no

[Verse 2]

Haters gonna hate
(let them hate)
I found out much to late
I think I know were a little hot now
The truth leads to the lies
The heart aint always right
And I see that love is blind now
Boy you use to have my trust
Without no trust there aint no us boy

[Chorus]
