True Romance

It's been a long however many days of work and I really want some Thai food. Really, really badly. I didn't eat at all yesterday because my body just refused anymore Smart Price pasta, and I must have been complaining a lot because one of my friends surprised me with an internet ordered food delivery of olives, chips, a burger AND garlic bread. I have about two thirds of it left to heat up later on and that's happiness right there.



I've been watching a lot of films lately as little breaks from typing, and I have to say none have impressed me that much. I enjoyed Revolutonary Road for silly reasons - mostly seeing the Titanic cast reunion. It's essentially a film about a married couple who argue, and not much more goes on. It was more moving than I thought it'd be though, because it shows how a couple can inflict a scarring sadness on each other and still be sure they're meant to be. It leaves you with a hopeless and hopeful taste in your mouth sort of like sweet and sour stirfry.



One afternoon I watched The Craft and Practical Magic because witchy films are best when you want to forget you have 3,000 words to write on historical research methods. My favourite bit in The Craft has always been when they go into the countryside and sit near all the pretty trees in the sunshine - whatever mood I'm in that's never unappealing. Practical Magic is one of my favourite films of all time because it's romantic as hell and basically fights for love despite the worst previous outcomes. Plus it has a sweet soundtrack that I need to remember to buy one day, or more likely download, and also one of my top 10 most wanted places to live.




Others include the Humphrey's Loft from Gossip Girl and Clarence's flat from True Romance (because of the window exit to the billboard sign obviously).
