Finally having a lazy day today- got in a tad late last night after getting rather lost on the way home (was a wicked night though!).. I missed the last tram home, so ended up getting the night bus- and the one time I don't take my little cheesy town map I end up at the wrong side of town!! Defo calls for a joggers day.
Watched 'Sunset Boulevard' this morning- so good. I'm going through a Film-Noir and French Animation phase right now- such fun! I defo recommend 'Belleville Rendez-Vous' & 'L'illusionniste' - both black comedy, animation things, with very little dialogue but pure brilliance.

Just done some research and the director (Sylvain Chomet) of both those films has done some more, which looks just as grotesque and awesome as the others! If you've ever read Angela Carter's works, short stories or novels, you may see a similarity between them- I sure do.. Anyway- he's also directed 'Paris, Je T'Aime' (which I think is probs the one most people have heard of.. with Juliette Binoche and that?!) and also a tiny (25mins) short film called 'La vieille dame et les pigeons'- seeing as its so short, I'm gonna look on Youtube laters for it- but looks weirdly wonderful.
Meanwhile though, the couple downstairs have invited for lunch (hell yes- means I don't have to cook today!!!) so I best get out of bed and make myself presentable.
For you? this..
