tilly_stratford | It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes, undress your eyes
Words of love and words so leisured
Words of poisoned darts of pleasure

I love Franz Ferdinand. Their lyrics remind me of learning English when I was a small girl. About six, trying to sing along to an English song, but I didn't understand the words, so I just strung together whatever phrases I'd picked up.

So, it's my birthday today. Big two oh. I haven't actually seen anybody today, save for when I went to the grocery shop to get some bread, juice and feminine products. Snooky is in Sweden with his mates, partying in a cabin that incidentally belongs to a pretty famous Norwegian musician. And I'm perfectly fine with that (Snooky being away, not the musician's cabin), people must stop asking me.

Actually it's just as well I haven't seen anyone today, I'm PMSing like hell. That's why I'm so melancholy right now (yesterday I actually had to choke back tears when I was driving, because He ain't heavy, he's my brother came on. Jeez Louise.). Even though I hate the chauvinistic "Oh never mind her, it's just PMS", for once, it's just PMS. I don't want anyone to think otherwise.

So, what am I doing today? Well, I've cleaned up a bit for the party on Sunday (yeah relax, the time will definately come) and watched some Cowboy Bebop, which is what I got from Snooky for my birthday. I think I'm really rather liking it. Of course it may be too early to tell, since I've only watched the movie and five episodes. But yeah.

Mostly it's the music and design. Oh, and possibly the sweetest intro of anything animated, ever.

Granted, I hardly understand the plots, the animation can be a bit grating at times, and the characters are almost universally boring - except the main character, of course, which seems to be the only character that was thought through. Oh, but the design! There are some really ingenious design choices!

So overall, yeah, I think I like it.
