...and my stomach is sick, and it's all in my head...
"Mr. Brightside" - The Killers *heh heh*

Right, since the other day I neglected to give a movie "update", here we go now:
The Princess Bride, 1987, PG, starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Christopher Guest, Andre the Giant, Wallace Shawns, and Chris Sarandon...not to mention the special appearances by Peter Falk, Carol Kane, and Billy Crystal.
Right, I've been watching this movie since I was one. I love it. It follows the edited version of the book almost perfectly line for line. (Edited because let's face it, you would not have all the stuff in the original, and not even I want to read the original). This movie has everything: "Fencing, fighting, revenge, chases, escapes, true love" and giants, and pirates, and an evil Sicilian, and death, and resurrection, and beauty, and hideousness, and miracles, and everything else a good action/adventure/romance story should have.

The Man From Snowy River, 1982, PG, staring Kirk Douglas and Jack Thompson.
Based on the poem by A. B. Pateson. This is a sweet romance and involves horses and Aussies. The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful (have it somewhere). It's a great movie to sit on the couch and watch with a cup of cocoa.

Right, so yesterday StarCommander left :( After she left I spent the whole day in bed. Sleeping. My whole day after twelve-thirty just went out the window because I never got out of bed...except to be sick. But anyways.

I should be going fencing today with Rill Dracas at the Riverwalk Park with the SCA. *manic grin* Definately looking forward to that.

In other news, I need to finish washing my clothes, I'm going to work, wash the dishes, and give Fthr his present.

Hope he likes the CD StarCommander and I stayed up all night creating. *goes cross-eyed*

Speaking of presents...
I gave Epee his Christmas present the other day and his face just Lit Up! I mean, it blossomed in a glowing radiant shining light! It was amazing. Mom was even able to get a picture of it. *basks in remembered radiance of his smile*
StarCommmander gave me her Christmas present, and it totally rocks! It's a picture of two white wolves standing in the snow behind birches (I think) against a deep, navy blue background. It Rocks My Socks! It's greater than sliced bread.
I feel really bad that I still don't have her gift. Or anybody else's for that matter. Craziness. Need to work on that today and the coming week.

Well, I suppose I should go wash dishes now. Or else just listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. (I love this radio station).
