I've had an intolerably busy week, but seeing as today is officially Bank Holiday Monday here, I think I'll make the most of it and visit the internets again. Huzzah!

Little much I'd call 'fun' has happened this week. Chris and I did plan on going out to see a film on Thursday, but rabid fatigue struck instead. Boo. I was going to go and see The Da Vinci Code (hush, jaffacakequeen ), but Chris and I ended up going to an Italian restaurant instead. I'll get around to it. Someday. I think we'll wait for a late evening show so we can MST it, though. Hahaha.

Apart from that, there's little else to report. I did read an interesting article in The Guardian from Chuck Palahniuk that made me think about horror movies in a deeper way than my usual "oh my God it's COMING OUT OF THE TELLY!" way, so I think it's worth it: "It's as if a victim in a cycle movie is more than a fictional casualty, she's more like a sacrifice to keep the rest of us safe. By witnessing his or her death...we've seen the cycle run its course, and this time we weren't the one who drew the wrong lot and had to perish...". Chuck also gets mention of deadly diseases and natural disasters in there, too, which means all is right in the world.

I missed some fun things while I was away, most notably Eurovision. almostnever kindly pointed me in the direction of youtube for my cheesy singing needs, and I came across
this little gem of some Eurowench going absolutely nuts after losing. Sadly, it's apparently 'parody', but rather brilliantly, it's a parody only the Icelandic organisers who sent her seem to get. Well, call the Greeks losers and the Swedish whores and what do you expect? Europe's up in arms!*

*This may be an exaggeration*

Rome pics coming soon! (It's like being trapped with your neighbour's holiday slides collection... without alcohol.)

Well the Da Vinci Code does have its unexpected comedic moments. *g* And there is a naked Paul Bettany self-flagellating and from the stills I've seen, very buff. Nothing else to recommend the movie other than Ian M playing the Teabing character. (Am always tempted to call that character Teabag).

Like in that children's show with T-Shirt and Teabag? I haven't thought about that show in years and now I can't even remember the title of it...

Nope, don't know it, just a quirk that when I read it, I kept reading Teabag instead of Teabing. Maybe by that stage of the book the brain had been totally exhausted by the sheer awfulness of the prose, the characters and just about everything else about the book.

I remember that show. I hated it.

You don't like any show except Dr Who.

Teabag! Haha!

Oh, it's going to be pants, isn't it? But yes... naked Paul Bettany doing some warped S&M thing, blatant Parisian tourism promotion and that excellent Tautou woman is definitely enough impetus to see it.
