Music and movies

I told myself to keep my mouth shut
But I still end up saying if and but
I lied to myself right from the start
And I’ve just worked out that I’m falling apart

Lovely day. Had a smashing time with Tiny on our movie night. We had chocolate pudding and watched all sorts of nifty things: House, The Daily Show, Star Trek TNG (featuring Q of course. Thankfully all my flat buddies are gone so nobody could hear us whoop and laugh), and I got Tiny to finally see Pygmalion and O Brother Where Art Thou.

Then we went to bed, but got talking and two hours later we simply could not help but get up again to watch The Great Mouse Detective. Norwegian dub, of course - although I think "flangerhanger" is a hilarious word (even more so at four o'clock in the morning) and I love Vincent Price with a vengeance, Helge Jordal will always be our Ratigan ("Din skjønne lille skrrrulling!").

I also introduced her to Dr. Horrible's singalong blog (combining my two loves: Supervillains and musicals) and the moment we woke up today we watched Act two. It feels so good for once to be at the right place at exactly the right time! It's not often I get it right.

So it was a looovely movie night. I wish we could have one once a week. At least.

And here's a meme:

1. Reply to this post (and indicate you'd like to be meme'd) and I'll assign you a letter
2. List 5 songs you like that start with that letter
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.
4: Optionally, you can give me a letter and I'll reply in comments with some tracks for that one

athenegenia hit me with G for gorgeous, and all of these can be downloaded via SendSpace in WMA format.

Now excuse me, I've gotten hold of Without a clue and intend to watch it. Michael Caine as a slightly dense fake Holmes - if it isn't a great movie I think I shall cry.
