I didn't get up at six this morning. Funny how that makes one feel less dead...

movie! good!

Pan's Labyrinth! You should all go see it. But be prepared-- technically it has a happy ending. But most of the cast dies to get there. And not just the ones you want to. Very dark. But very good, also. And pretty and things.

I was surprised by the amount of the spanish I actually understood without the subtitles, too; a lot of it is basic conversational stuff that I still remember. Although I'm entirely confused as to where "pan" got into it, as the faun of the spanish title (El Labarinto del Fauno) refuses to give a name, saying that his names are all unpronouceable except by wind and trees and things. Oh well.

(there was a lot of good stuff that didn't get written down, too)

( this is not a feature )

Mike: I'm not whining. I'm bitching.

Steve: [how is anyone supposed to hear you] when you talk into a hole in the ground?
me: The hole in the ground can hear me, Steve.

Brian: ...and I've used that line a couple times on girls, and it totally doesn't work. ["You're the wavelength of my heart"]

Steve: Tom Cruise would be at your beck and call.
me [with extreme skepticism]: What would I want him for?
