whew

After spending the last 3 days in bed/on the couch with Ewan, I am finally feeling 90% better. I still sound phlegmy and snotty, but I have my energy back, which is a relief.

And I am *SO* in love with Long Way Round. Everyone in the world should watch it. *loves* My husband seemed awed that I watched the whole thing, beginning to end, in one go. And then watched the extras the next day. (Although massive bummer - the interview track on the 3rd disc won't play at all, on any dvd player or computer in the house. *pouts*)

And Brassed Off was all right. And I still have the extras of AotC to watch - yay!

Glad you're feeling better, hon!

I really like Brassed Off. It took a couple viewigs but it kind of grew on me; it's a sweet story and a great political movie. Also, the second Mrs. Sean Bean is in it. *grins*

Glad you're feeling better - you sounded terrible on Saturday.

What, you didn't like my deep raspy voice, coupled with the phlegmy cough? It didn't turn you on? :(

Thanks! :) I did like it - the story was a bit heartbreaking, but the characters were interesting and hey, what's not to love in a movie where men shower together every day?

Mrs. Bean 2 - I'll have to go look, since I didn't know she was in it at all. Thanks for the tip!

Glad you're feeling better. I've got the lurgies now though. :-)

:( *hug* My sympathies.

But not enough to not harass you -- you expressed interested in nanowrimo -- we're doing it in april now -- details at [livejournal.com profile] wantonhussy! I'd love to see you join us!

LOL Okay, yes I'm in. ;-p

I had to spread it over two days because I didn't start watching until nine at night... but I couldn't stop once I started (until I was forced to because it was so late the cats were getting pissed off at me for invading their nighttime space).

Haven't seen Brassed Off since it came out. Must buy that for the collection.

And now you know where this icon comes from. *huggles the red jumper*

*huggles ALL the geeky jumpers*

Yay!

*whispers* I want to watch it again. Already. All day.

He has the best geeky clothes. I do miss the glasses, though.

I miss them too. *sniff*
