When the headaches come
Shelby Lynne- Dream Some
In the dark I can hear you whisper
shadows still, move across the distance
What did you say, it's okay
Did you miss me
Did you miss me
Make it mine, takin' time, forgotten
speak for me, silent plea, surrender
What did you say, it's okay
Did you miss me
Did you miss me
You know at times I wondered
if you ever thought of me
and I wondered if you wanted to be free
like me, and I needed to feel you and
I wondered did you miss me baby, oh yeah
Turn to gray, bluer shade, when the sun comes
Peaceful time, cease your mind, Dreamsome
What did you say, it's okay, oh baby
Did you miss me
Did you miss me
Did you miss me
Did you miss me

Letters
Was a great movie
Moving, touching, funny from beginning to end
Stars Gerard Butler (from 300) and Hilary swank
Jeffrey Dean Morgan ( who looks like Javier Bardem), also stars
He was so sweet
Smiling kind eyes and dimples...You could see everything
So sweet
They were in Ireland for a good part of the movie and everything was so lovely.
I am going to get the DVD when it comes out
Eastern Promises
It wasn't the best movie I've seen in a while and I think mainly because Naomi Watts was in it...I really dislike her as an actress in anything. I liked the story/ plot but Naomi just killed this movie for me...Ugh...VERY BAD CHOICE OF ACTRESS
Thankfully, Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassell were there to save the day, and they did so beautifully and together....
They had great chemistry and acted well.
The show was rated R and I guess rightly so. I won't give away much but there was a good 6 minutes of Viggo fully fully naked (front and back) and things...
He is 49 yet his body is well taken care of :)
So go get the movie, its good Eastern European mobsters in London, the dirt they do, some instability, how they take care of business, prostitution, modern day slavery, death, grief, babies etc....

Night of Long Knives and Broken Glass
Ok so our experience wasn't as World War II Dramatic as the title makes it seem (check out the real night of broken glass, and the real night of long knives in your history books people).
We went to listen to Jazz which was cool...
The crowd was nice...cool
The drunk guy was very very drunk and unpredictable..It kinda freaked us out
It's ironic that we felt safer when a guy with a switch blade and his girlfriend sat close to us. We felt he would protect us if drunk guy came a- callin'
Drunk guy's seat kept getting closer and closer to us
The night was filled with tension.
I didn't think it would end well, when drunk guy passed out and someone stole his beer. I really started to become more and more aware of escape routes.
I of course in my mind had already figured out an escape rout for all of us that would be clean and quick..
We wouldn't trip over anything and we could fling something back to trip him if needs be...
I hate having to be hypervigilant but eh...
Meanwhile the jazz was great- Etienne was there!

Tired
And the things are not all well for me either.
Oh well...that is life..will move on from this...
I am tired again though..like everyday but so exhausted this day in everyway.
There is fog outside..usually is good ..not so good when I can't navigate very well...I will try to soon. Rest for one minute then go...
Javier Bardem
He plays Anton Chigurh an assassin.
The great thing about this movie is that it looks at the characters motivations in doing what they do,and how they do things.
Very simple, very plain.
The character with the most depth to me was Anton, simply because there wasn't any real way to know his motivation. Just a job, annoyance, just because, the others deserve it? You had to assume.
The character was interesting too because whatever his motivation, he tried to distance himself from the killing decision.
Flipping coins, asking his victims random questions, giving arbitrary choices.
All Arbitrary. Not in his mind of course but still arbitrary. If I met him in real life I can tell that there would be a lot of miscommunication between us.
The character doesn't speak to you, just at you. No matter what you say, he's already onto his next thought his next step, his next action.
Interesting that he wouldn't take responsibility for his actions. Interesting but typical..it's always someone else's fault..They didn't connect to his thought process quickly enough or perfectly enough...always their fault.
Ummm

Somersault
Somersault Lyrics
Artist(Band):Zero 7
You're the prince to my ballerina
You feed other people's parking meters
You encourage the eating of ice cream
You would somersault in sand with me
You talk to loners, you ask how's your week
You give love to all and give love to me
You're obsessed with hiding the sticks and stones
When I fear the unknown
You feel like home, you feel like home
You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet, and you were sound
You saved me
You're the warmth in my summer breeze
You're the ivory to my ebony keys
You would share your last jelly bean
You would somersault in sand with me
You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet and you were sound
You saved me
You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet and you were sound
See I had shrunk yet still you wore me around
And 'round and 'round
