I've been really enjoying the naughty-confident-bratty-hot sounds of Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics, Avril Lavigne's The Best Damn Thing, and most of all, P!NK's I'm Not Dead. These have all been great to paint to, particularly the P!NK. If these are supposed to be girl albums, the guys are missing out if they're not listening. These are sexy albums, as well as sexy ladies, and a lot of fun. All three are break-out albums, where the artists did exactly as they pleased. But it takes a confident guy to listen and laugh along with these.

My reading friends, I have meant to ask each of you to comment on a recurring nightmare. What dream taunts you in your sleep and remains when you awake? I will tell you mine. I dream that my favorite food has grown tres grande, so grande that it might now consider moi to be on the menu... I always wake as it is looking at me and rubbing it's front legs together, like insect ablutions before a meal. Bon appetit, I think, smiling, as I awake, hungry for breakfast.What nightmare visits you?
Au revoir,
Grenouille

The CD covers are fantastic! And what great music mixes. Cupcake has been listening to a lot of P!nk lately, though more so for her hard hitting sound - I hope! We don't discuss sexy much.
I won't give details of my nightmares lately, but they involve cockroaches and the rattling sound of a plastic grocery bag.
Our daughter and I sang along with P!NK on the way back from an errand today. Loud. She's 16, so she gets the innuendo (and the items that aren't veiled at all). It's P!NK's sound, her driving vocals, and the self confidence that I like.
And cockroaches... they make me shudder. They don't get into my dreams, thank goodness. Maybe into Grenouille's, though for him it's more likely to be flies and water beetles.
Okay, I haven't had this dream in awhile, but it really freaked me out. It was a sex dream, but with Hercule Poirot! He was wearing a hairnet and was very methodical and neat. That dream really scared me because, well, what does it say about you if one of your supposedly racy dreams features Hercule Poirot?
Some myrrh! That dream is hilarious. I could see having a dream like that. Some days I like to daydream that I'm Miss Lemon.......
Lol! Yes, Ms. Christie was mysteriously silent about some aspects of their relationship, wasn't she? I've often wondered if Hastings ever actually got some, and from whom (besides his wife, obviously). But Miss Lemon and the Belgian. Hmm. I think she probably brought him more than tisanes from time to time.
(Sorry, Grenouille. I know we were meant to be speaking of dreams here, not fantasies.)
Madames! Madames! This is most irregular! I realize that Monsieur Poirot is Belgique, not Francais, but I feel we are having frolic and sport with a countryman!
But, non non, this is tres amusant, and I am charmed that you both made free with these dreams (or fantasies) ridiculous. The hair net is the coup de grace. So apropos of Msr. Poirot, Some_myrrh, did he also, perhaps, have one on his mustaches? Quelle erotique, non?
And DCup, your photo of lemons on Flickr, which Etienne so likes, will bear a new meaning.
Merci, to you both.
Others? Surely others have dreams equally entertaining?
Grenouille
