Theres so much, really, so forgive me for no rhyme or reason to this.  If it pops into my head, I will write it.  

Did you know that Belgium has brothels?  Lots of them.  Actual bordellos.  I think there is a difference, but I. Not sure what.   They have flashing lights outside them.  Some are big big old houses.  I was looking to see if I could see anything, but I couldn't.  Not even a car in the parking lot.  Maybe they have underground parking.  LOL

When we were driving on the freeway today, i couldn't help but think about the war.  I know, morbid, right?  But there was such big battles here one hundred years ago.  All the people that were killed for nothing.  Displaced from their homes, etc, etc.  it's just normal, flat farmland, and imagine what it looked like 100 years ago.  Totally different.  And it's so sad.  See?  I was in a deep mood today.  What a thing to,think about.  Sigh. 

Once again I didn't get supper.  I would give anything for a salad.  Seriously.   I am craving it.  But, I am becoming an expert in ordering at the patisserie next door. Today, I did it all in french.  Can you believe it?  Deux croissants, s'il vois plait.  Almonde ou chocolat?  Almonde.  I even got the amount right.  Look at me.  Talking like a native.  LOL

Divo bits.  It bothered me all day that I didn't post this.  Because I noticed it several times.  There is this muscle in Seb's throat that quivers when he holds those long long notes.  It's really cool to,watch, to be honest.  Shows how much he is working.  That he really stretches himself to match the others.  The clarity and strength of his voice just gets better and better.  And he has such an easy smile.  It's infectious.  

David's pants didn't fit properly in the second half.  They were way too big.  And something was wonky with his cumberbund.  Poor David.  Sounds like I am picking on him, and I don't mean too.  He was lovely and laughing and jovial, as he always seems to be.  And he laughed so hard at one point when Urs got messed up with a story he was telling it Dutch that he had to turn around.  His whole body was shaking with laughter.  So so funny.  

I have no bits about Urs and Carlos that I didn't already say.  But if I think,of them orifice B reminds me, I will be sure to post them.  There is so much I am missing.....I just know it!  It as been a whirlwind, let me tell you. 

Oh!  Who commented about being a blogger forthe guys?  Carolyn, I think.  What a fabulous idea girl!  You know my boy Keith?  He has someone who blogs on the road for him.  Plus he blogs and videos himself sometimes and posts those.  I think it's a fabulous idea!  Who do I contact?  I think.people would love behind the scenes, back stage stuff, don't you?  I would.  That's what I love to read.  I figured everyone else must love it too.  T reporting for duty.  I would be a great behind the scenes reporter, don't you think?  Hehehe.  I'd tell the people what they rEally want to know. Who dyes, who doesn't.  What is Urs REALLY like.  How many bracelets dosE David have?  WHatg do they eat.  Who gets along.  And most importantly..........why is Carlos' chest red?  Enquiring minds want to know and T will get to the bottom of it.  :) :) :)

Dont quit my day job, right?  Hehehehe.

Hugs to everyone. 

Nite nite

I totally agree with you about Seb's smile. You just can't help it.

I'm with B. I want to know all the behind the scenes stuff, like the tattoos and Carlos chest and Urs. Think you could find out if Carlos needs anyone to help him with his chest problem. It will be a sacrifice but I am willing to volunteer. LOL

Hi, T!!
It sounds like you're having a great time (most of the time). As for the one-time break down: as you said, you had it, it's over, behind you, kaput! So now you can move on.

Loved your observations of our guys. Here's what I think about David's dramatics: it's a carry-over from his opera days that he can't break. Opera is big everything - big voices, big hand/arm movements, big drama - it's the nature of the beast, and maybe it's so ingrained that he can't stop. Carlos has done enough musicals (non-opera) that he's gotten over it. As for Urs -- I don't think he would have ever been that dramatic, even in his opera days. He's just too reserved.

The 'parking building' restaurant sounds heavenly. But I'm with you - no eel! Oh, the eel, you say! Blech!! The rest of the meal (except the caviar) sounds just perfect.

Now here's what I want to know about 'back stage' (when you get your job as the Divo blogger): who REALLY gets to help the guys dress between sets??? Is that job open?

Have fun, GF!! And NO MORE BREAK DOWNS. Promise!!

Big, big, bog hugs,
Nora

Oopsy!! That was supposed to be 'big, big, big hugs'. And I can't blame it on an iPad - just my own fumble fingers!!

BTW - love what the auto-correct on your iPad does to your blogs!

Wait till you hit Amsterdam! It's a whole city devoted to brothels and weed. Oh next trip. Btw, I love all that history stuff. You would be insane if you went all that way and never once thought about the history behind where you are. Sometimes it is a little melancholy but it's all about reminding us of how we got where we are and trying not to make the same mistakes. tell me more....I don't know much about the cities you are visiting apart from the obvious. Tell me all the little details.

Nora, you sounded like a broken record LOL If I didn't know you better I'd be reporting you for spam :P Kidding! You know I love you, right? Hehehe

And Nora, Urs has mentioned that even though he had lived in Amsterdam for so many years he hadn't picked up on any of the vice. Our man has a strong mind and good discipline, eh? Anyway, I don't think he needs to visit the brothel at all... :P

T, about the comment regarding Divo blogger, I think it was Caelyn who mentioned that. I think you'd make an awesome blogger for the guys. You have such a way with words that it's always very pleasant to read the stuff you write about. It never ceases to bring a smile to my face wheneven I come here :)

Maybe you should draft a proposal and send it to their management. Lay out what you would do if you were their blogger :P I can help you come up with a proposal ;)

Are you ready to give up your boring 9 to 5 job yet, Miss Canada?

Well, when - not if - I get the bogger job, I will ask about the brothels and weed. Saw several people smoking it today! But I didn't see any brothels.

Judy, we will work on the proposal. It's a great idea and I think I would excel at it! Lol. I'd make you all laugh, at any rate. And probably the guys too. Who is that Klutz with toilet paper stuck other shoe and black hands? LOL. We will leave that part out of the proposals, hey? :)

Nora

T, WHEN you get the blogger job, be sure you do your input on something that doesn't 'auto-correct'!!!! Dump the iPad! Can I help with the proposal??? You know, the commas????

Reply
4/3/2012 10:12:27 am

Nora, do you think there would be some confusion in the Divo world if T gets the job? Remember the other Tania? The guys would go 'Tania? Which one? Urs' girl or Carlos' chic?' :P

Well now, I can't really say. Maybe our T needs to change her name before she applies. Maybe to 'Leigh?' Then they wouldn't be confused. On the other hand 'Carlos' Tania' has a nice ring to it!! LOL.

Carlos' Tania does have a nice ring, doesn't it? :D Me likey. So, girls, just how are we going to start on this proposal? And where are we going to send it? Who are the powers that be? I have an idea.......Hmmmm...... :D :D :D We will discuss.

Just want to say how fun this has been. Hasn't it? I love the banter, its quite entertaining. You ladies make me laugh! A whole lot!
