Staying home a bit before the weekend madness begins, ah. Was hunting for a new blog skin but the white christmas with festive reds and greens scrolling all the way down evades me!Well, I kind of miss my mom. I hope she's doing okay. It's so different when I'm the one left behind, because this morning, slinking back into the room sinking into my pillows I felt so crummy for not having made it early enough to wave her goodbye. Then groaned when I spotted her phone beside mine. Fat chance of a call, now. Isn't this all very silly? I didn't miss her when I was away, but.. I was so eager to leave then, relief pretty much floated above all else. These insomniac nights I inch just a little closer as I lull myself to sleep with her steady breathing, more than once catching myself wondering if exchange's such a good idea - but this must be the tired mind's meanderings, for awake do I to quite a different direction : ) Other times fear takes residence of the day that I'll awake and she not be there. (Like today.) Last night my little comfort was a petulant arm flung over to her side of the mattress. No such luck tonight hmm.
Sigh. Okay on to happier affairs. Am growing to be a fan of Glenn Close. Respect. I think it was one line in The Lady's Paying that really did it. Wheeeeee. Wasn't too enamoured of 102 Dalmations but I don't suppose she thinks it her representative work either : p But Alan Campbell is still the man, oohh, but what an ordinary name. Heh. It's great to just sit here and soak the entire Sunset Boulevard soundtrack over and over running scenes in my head. No homework! Glee.
Deciding whether to watch it (if ever they revive it) will probably be quite the decision to make. I mean, I don't believe for a moment I'll be able to resist, but theoretically, romantically, I think I'll never want to see it on stage and much less on film (again am practically speaking, lying) lest it falls terribly short of my impossibly high expectations. Ah.. Glenn Close. ALAN Campbell yeah yeahyeah.
Update update: !! Sunset Boulevard [2006] is in preproduction. AAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Coincidence rocks! Sometimes!)
