I'll start with the bad news. I think I am getting sickie, and I took a full dose of nyquil last night, to the result that I slept like a rock for ten hours, through my alarm and was much later than I wanted to be getting down to LA, and I've been feeling drugged all day. Also, to my great dismay, the Corrs CD has been pushed back to be released NEXT Tuesday, as I learned when I phoned Barnes and Noble on Sunday. Oh, the woe. Also, I had to take one of the strays that got into the trap to the pound, and it was a very depressing experience. People, FIX YOUR CATS! The good news is, I get to hang out with Natalie tonight! Also, recently to my great pleasure I've had a few viewing experiences to satisfy my europhiliac cinematic tastes. First, I got to see Kontrol, one of Chris' films that he orginially saw in his Leonard Malten film class at The School That Must Not Be Named, which is set entirely in the Budapest subway and is sufficently weird and profound all at once. Second, I dragged the willing members of the ace gang to see A Very Long Engagement at FLICS at the Fox (there were a million people there! You wouldn't think a society like FLICS would be so popular in a place like Bakersfield but apparently it is, good for it). I'd seen it before but liked it even more the second time and it is probably one of my favorites. Good WWII movies are plentiful but it is hard to come by WWI films, let alone good ones. Also, Christina, who is in London *jealousy* and I had this conversation in which she made me smile: Isn't she fab?

Dragged is such a strong word. I only pretended to not want to go, because you wouldn't know what to do if I was enthusiastic about one of your ideas. Oh, and you get to watch another foreign film, because Chris bought Dear Frankie, which is that Scotish film he has been talking about. Aren't you excited?

yeah, I am excited to see the ScotTish film.

I am getting sick also. And three is very close to a million. Like my million papers due. Two or three, yeah. But a million.

I have been taking Nyquil and still be up all night coughing, so consider yourself lucky.
I was getting ready to call you because you had disappeared off the face of the planet. You didn't even answer my email!

Hope you feel better today.

Yes, start feeling better so we can all stay up late and watch more movies.

Sissy, I'm sorry, I thought I answered the email. You can still call me tho! I would call you on my drive home but I sadly lost the handsfree thingy I bought for that purpose... maybe it is in a purse somwhere... hopefully not one of the purses I gave away.

Oh, I was supposed to look and see if we had one of those to give you. Well, we are buying new phones in a couple weeks, I'm sure we'll get at least one free hands-free thingy.
