I'm feeling better today, despite being woken from sound dreaming by wretched cramps. Oh the injustice of being a girl. At least a package arrived full of chocolates and cookies a little dog and a photograph for my desk. Little things, I am reminded, and I really should mail about seven packages now. Not to mention my thank you notes.

They sent us home at 9pm last night, which was unusual and weird. But there was no work at all, anywhere. Typical of my office, the floor manager sent out an email at 6pm outlining when and who could go. Our immediate superiors, the leads, ran around like headless chickens pretending they knew nothing. It was superbly annoying.

So we went to Blockbuster, avoided the loud and annoying baglady wearing a surgical mask, and pondered movies. I saw The Reflecting Skin, which I might have to watch sometime only because it sounds so superbly creepy. That, and I want to know why Lindsay Duncan and Viggo Mortensen are in it. We picked up a copy of From Hell because I never saw it in the theater. I like Moore's graphic novel so it's worth a shot.

Speaking of films and comics, it's been far too long since I last saw Tank Girl. I was fifteen when it was in the theaters and I think James & I saw it at least eight times. Had a great soundtrack too, and it was fun. Any movie that casts Ice T, Lori Petty, Iggy Pop and Malcolm McDowell can't help but be bizarre. Especially if you cast Ice T as a giant kangaroo man.

Giant kangaroo men are superb. ;)

Oooh, The Reflecting Skin is a GREAT great movie. It is slightly bizarre, slightly "southern gothic" and just brilliant. And Viggo--I can't think of him any other way than his character in that very movie.

Oh excellent! I must go back and rent it then. Thanks for letting me know.

Tank Girl also has the distinction of being the first film in which I was (along with many many other Americans) inspired to drool copiously over Naomi Watts. Mmmm, JetGirl.

I was going to simply post " mmmm... Jet Girl " , but someone beat me to it :)

Glad it got there -- hopefully the cookies were remotely in one piece. Feh. I'm cleaning up mouse droppings at work, and keep thinking about faking asthma to get out of it.

Cookies all in one piece, shockingly enough. You have better luck with the post than I do.

Eww mice. Run away!!

Yeah, the mice are waaaaaaay not okay.

Let me know how they suit you.

I think "Reflecting Skin" is great, too. :)

Excellent. I just knew someone on my friends list would have seen it and could enlighten me.
