Holy Hail's "Born Of A Star"

My dear friend Michal is the hott bass player in this band. She currently has walking pneumonia, and is about to embark on a UK tour... goodness! We talked on the telephone for nearly an hour after she posted this (see below), I just had to call her:

Subject masterpiece sickness theater and the trials of not smoking.
Body: so as many of you already know i am sick. as in, walking pneumonia doctor telling me if i dont slow down i'll soon have a bed pan at the hospital with my name on it, sick. as you also probably know i leave on tour for a long ass time next week, so, hospital? not so much. i dropped out of life for three whole days (three days! nothing but sleeping eating and watching vids! insanity) and am feeling marginally better.

i have not had a cigarette since monday.

this is making me mental.

this is making me want to make LISTS. so here ya go, these are the movies i have enjoyed in the past few days amidst my fever dreams-

PRINCESS BRIDE-
a boy tried to ruin this movie for me by breaking up with me while it was playing in the background but not even that could taint this gem. it has been a staple in my movie watching diet since i was a small lass , in particular when i am sick, or on a bad trip. just like in the movie! incidentally maybe the root for my proclivity towards the fair haired british charmers.

BIG LEBOWSKI
classic. "do you see what happens larry, when you f*ck a stranger in the ass? do you SEE what happens larry?" oooooh. show me. i love it. i slept through most of this one but i know it by heart and caught all my favorite moments.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
(BBC miniseries version, in its entirety. none of this short keira knightly crap.)
sometimes i need to be reminded that not all english people are shirtless sunburnt football hooligans in the airport, but that one of them is colin firth and he makes everything okay. sigh.

ANCHORMAN
too.many.quotes.brain.in.overdrive.

PARIS,TEXAS
slow start but it was a TEAR-JERKER. and dang. natassja kinski is crazy beautiful, so insanely gorgeous. wow.

VIRGIN SUICIDES
eh. best thing sophia coppola will ever do in her miserable life. what does she do anyway? sip sophia minis and bathe in chocolate every day and get hot stone massages from golden faeries while a french dude sings to her and kisses her eyelids? woah lifes tough, isnt it. the only reason why any one liked Lost in Translation is cause boring scenesters are obsessed with Tokyo, Scarlett Johannson, Bill Murray and being bored. it is not a good movie. Virgin Suicides was better. but there are way better movies than Virgin Suicides.

ooooh leaving it on SUCH a bitter note.

perhaps thats the nic-fit talking.

well off to nap and delve into the stack again. (ps. thanks jason boggs for the bag-o-movies)
