Back in bed. This cold is one stubborn son of a b*tch. I was really looking forward to this birthday dress-up party tomorrow. The theme is tube stations, and I was going to go as Clapham North. Hams in my hands, clapping, with a raindeer hat on my head. Perfect. F thought I should do the ham thing, but go dressed up a as prostitute, and go as Clapham Common. Not my thing though. Maybe i'll drag my sick little self there anyway, clap a little ham, have a coke, and then head home. Just for the sake of it. Was really looking forward to seeing all the Cockfoster's and Angel's that were bound to show up.
Went to see W with D last night. An interesting and amusing film, but hardly something to base you're opinion of 'Bushy' completely... What was up with Condolezza Rice though? I could see that her character was presented a form of comic relief, and that they made a point by hardly giving 'the most powerful black woman' in the US (the keywords here being WOMAN and BLACK) any lines at all when in the room with 'the boys', in order to poke fun at the whole thing. But did they have to make her sound and look retarded? It was either that, or Thandie Newton is just a terrible actress. And does Laura Bush EVER stop smiling?
I really liked Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell though. The depiction of his part in the build-up to the Irak war makes sense now, with the knowledge that he endorsed Obama in the election. Also, if you like Jeffrey Wright, you should really check out Angels in America, the mini-series about HIV in the US. It's brilliant.
Also, while being ill I've had the time to watch quite a few movies. And I have to say that after some careful deliberation, I have decided to put Richard Gere up there with both Clooney and Pitt. He ages just as gracefully. Delicia.
