I've Got a Headache Pie

Ugh, it's one of those days that started out way too early, and ended up too darned hot. I stayed home the bulk of the day in the dark, but managed to make a quick stop at the local Target to get a few things. Bought and watched Bride and Prejudice. Very interesting movie...I was expecting it to be a little like Bend it Like Beckham, but surprisingly it was much like a classic Bollywood movie. It had alot of singing and dancing, and the male lead was very attractive. Aside from that, he played the part of William Darcy well (he can't beat Matthew MacFadyen though).

Far as other movies go, Waitress was so good that I've seen it twice (Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion and Andy Griffith rounded out a fantastic cast - thanks to the late Adrienne Shelly for thinking up the idea for the movie). It was sad, sweet and funny rolled into one. Made me hungry too with all of the unique pies being thought up or cooked by the waitresses in the film. Ratatouile was great as well; an visually detailed masterpiece, I think. I caught it with friends a few weeks back in a sneak preview. Pixar really has remarkeable work in their animated movies, and this one is no exception. And the mini-movie before the main show was truly hilarious. I must get that on my Ipod!

Right now, I'm chilling out and watching A Prairie Home Companion, praying a little that my achey head will finally subside in its constant pounding. My thoughts are leaning towards friends across the pond though...nothing terrible in terms of serious injuries over there, but I hope folks in the UK are doing alright. I'll see some of you all in Glasgow in a few weeks.
