Today you could have thought it's April, judging from the weather! In the morning it was snowing like in deepest winter. Then towards noon it stopped, the clouds disappeared and the temperatures rose towards spring, if not early summer like heights! Then towards the evening fog crept in from the lake!


As some of you know, I'm not much of a cook (OK, not much of a housewife in general) so I don't experiment a lot. However tonight I felt like something different so I cooked some pasta and for the sauce chopped up a Paprika (red pepper) and some cherry tomatoes, fried them with some olive oil, added cream and ground cheese (Grana Padano, hmmm!) and some garlic salt, pepper, ground paprika, nutmeg, basil and origano... and wow, it turned out really well! I think next time I'll try the same with crème fraîche instead of cream, as a variation. I must admit I'm pretty proud of myself! :D


And I also made another wallpaper. OMG how could I resist when I found those pictures... (the last one, which fit in perfectly and really made the set complete, today). I started last night - and by now I really should know better than to start putting together the pictures for a wallpaper less than an hour before midnight. Because of course I couldn't resist to start dabbling with them, and well... um, let's say it was about 1 1/2 hours a little bit later than midnight until I went to bed! However I think I'm starting to get the hang of the whole textures and brushes thing, which is great! But enough babbling about it, here is said wallpaper, and yes it's snaggable - not like there are more than one or two people on my flist who are into Joaquin... ;)

Oooooooh your icon!!!

OK, going out on a limb here. I think that's my favorite non-posed pic, at least for the moment :-) Smiling, curly hair, just sweet sweet sweet ...

And he's gained a little weight, which I like on him. Yes, these and the Oscar luncheon pictures are utterly droolworthy! I don't know what it is about him disshevelled that is so hot... but it is!

One of the first times I noticed him was in Gladiator and he was a bit fleshy there, I think on purpose for the role, and I remember thinking, "that actor has a fleshy quality that is verreh appealing". So yeah, I like a little extra weight on him ... the flessssssh is lovely, especially when dishevelled *and* with all his body hair intact!

Hee I just watched Gladiator again and I totally agree - I also loved the eyeliner... he's one of those men who look oh so sexy with eyeliner! *fans self*

omg PLEASE make me stop reading up on Joaq articles/interviews, because that doesn't help my latest infatuation at all - or rather it helps it along a bit too well...

It's a good thing I'm still on dial-up or I'd spend all my time downloading any scrap of interview/red carpet nonsense! As it is, I've just got a couple that I obsessively watch :-)

Dialup?! Oh horrors, I'd die with dialup! *pets her DSL*

Last night I was reading some interviews on various Joaq sites - wanted to go look at one again today as it was particularly lovely, but joaquin-phoenix.net where I'd found it seems to be down, and of course none of the other sites I know have it!

You don't happen to have MSN/Windows Messenger or AIM at home? It would just be sooooooo good being able to gush a) without boring the rest of my flist to tears and b) at a faster rate than a handful of LJ posts per day... ;)

I do though I'm not on all that often, usually on the weekends. I'm on AIM and my ID is baranduin98055. What's yours? I'll look for you! And then we can gush in peace
