Migraine last night, which made writing a little difficult today. I’ve officially reached the end of the properly plotted stuff, so now the fun bit starts.

That said, for some reason, this week feels like it’s stretched on forever, and I’m looking forward to having a break this weekend.

Movie: Save The Green Planet

Song: Mince Meat by Dangerdoom

Book: Under My Roof, duh

[bluedressdevil.livejournal.com]

a movie: Scarface with Al Pacino - I know it seems like only hip hop rappers like this movie but really the message to me is "don't be greedy, greed only leads to ruin."

a song: Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces - I love the line "And I can tell you know how hard this life can be/ But you keep on smiling for me" Plus it is just a great sound

a book: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez - honestly I love every single book this man wrote that I have gotten my hands on. But this is my favorite. My copy is worn from multiple readings.
