tendrils of malaise
snake through tender abdomen
please come sweet relief
fuck i hate auntie flo.
diaphanous - what a lovely word.
saw Big Fish last night. i was not disappointed with it, but i try not to have a lot of expectations with movies. the story was good, the way the movie was put together was wonderful, and the acting was lovely. see it, but don't spend your life savings to get to it.
your mission, if you should choose to accept it:
tell me about a movie i should see and why i should see it.

"Mediterraneo". It's a few years old now (1992), but is a quirky classic. From the box:
"During World War II, eight Italian soldiers are sent to guard a small Greek island in the middle of the Mediterranean, but they quickly realize that there is nothing to guard! Instead, they start enjoying life on this beautiful island and some are able to realize dreams they have never told anyone about."
It's in Italian and Greek, with subtitles. The humour is a little crude in places (I thought it was hilarious... my conservative dad was a bit offended), but all good-natured. The description above leaves out a few key ideas: just after they're dropped on the island, the ship that dropped them is sunk; shortly after that their radio is broken; they're left isolated from the war, and from the outside world generally. They are supposedly on guard, but quickly become absorbed into the life of the local village. Anyway, it's good-natured, funny, a little off-beat, and insightful.
One funny thing: since I can't understand either Italian or Greek, and the subtitles are all in English, it sometimes confused me that the characters couldn't understand each other... it was all Greek to me!
My period never feels like tendrils snaking through my abdomen; more like knives penetrating my organs! Anyways, feel better and keep being your sweet, badass self, dearie!
