Like falling down and calling for help and then you get kicked in the stomach.
(yes, i stole that from naba.) so now i have a viral infection. great. but i'm not bitter (ha). i am, however, a bit bored. i'm supposed to be resting--doctor's orders--and i don't do well with idleness. i don't have cable tv to keep me entertained, but i do have a plethora of video tapes. many of these tapes were inherited from my former housemate, the beloved J, and many of them are mis-labled, so i'm never quite sure what i'll get when i pop a tape in. yesterday i watched "wild hearts can't be broken" (a nice little disney film), "milo and otis" (cute kittens & puppies, but really rather boring), and a classic from the late 80s, "dirty dancing" (with one of cinema's all-time cheezy-est lines, "nobody puts baby in the corner"). today i popped in a tape that was supposed to be movies but turned out to be the opening ceremonies of the 1998 winter olympics--over 3 hours of coverage. i always get a kick out of watching old tv tapes. i find even the commercials amusing. following the olympics coverage was the news. (i had forgotten about the "el nino" storms of '98--devastating at the time, yet a mere drop in the bucket when compared to the current devastation in the gulf states.) and then we had david letterman, whose guest was drew barrymore. damn if she doesn't have the nicest lips. i mean it, that woman wears red lipstick like nobody's business--sheer perfection. and she had on the most gorgeous outfit--so elegant. i think i have a bit of a "girl crush" on ms. barrymore.
ok, change of subject... here's a movie quote for you from "the tao of steve": "Don Giovanni slept with thousands of women because he was afraid he wouldn't be loved by one." sadly, this reminds me of someone i know, but that's another story for another day. i think it's about time i put myself to bed.

contessa darling, you are suffering from lip envykd
you're right, camille, it's not a crush--it's a simple case of lip envy.
its only 11:23 PM that you say you are going to bed. it is too early. most creative things happen between midnight and 2:30 AM.
yes, that may be true, but i'm ill and need my rest. besides, isn't 2:30 a bit early? i'd say 3am, at least, don't you think?
darlink
it is so sad to be in the flip flops without you

darlink... the Joke and Tremolo in october! how can we resist?
miss you so... things are so peaceful and quiet up here at the chalet.
We can't resist! Especially after I had a special request from Mr Fox to "please come."
I miss you too, my dear. Mendo was beautiful & peaceful, but 3 whole days without you?!...
(i like drew barrymore's lips too but it's not lip "envy...")
Well, yes, I can see how you might have a slightly different perspective on Ms. Barrymore's lovely lips. :)
I love old VHS too. I spent a large part of my pathetic adolescense taping movies from those free HBO previews. I still got a few, too!
