castalieWell damn, my head is clearer today - less fogginess or mushiness. I knew I needed a night on my own to start the process of feeling better! Even the prospect of leaving for the hospital this afternoon doesn't make me so tired this time *g* With a good part of tomorrow alone in the house as well, I think I'll be able to start the new week more relaxed and rested - at least I'll have my battery recharged a bit before they're huh 'decharged' again? It'll be alright *determined look*
Hey before I forget. Remember the SG fic I mentioned in my last post? Well it's been archived apparently, so don't wait and go read Marks by Sffan.
Now, on a different note - Sandra called last night before I went to bed, and since I didn't want to end the day on a sad note, I decided to watch Mambo Italiano.
I was so inspired! This movie is hilarious, awfully cute and just brilliant *g* To be honest, it could have been funny just because of the accent. Yeah, it was in French Canadian - this accent is so special, you know? And no offense to the French Canadians on my flist btw, I don't know whether you find our own accent funny or terribly disgraceful. With accents, you never know, right? *g*
Yeah anyway, joke aside, the movie was even better than I hoped. The characters are all endearing and hilarious and the way the story is told is one I enjoy very much, it's lively and original. Something else that never ceases to amuse as well is that no matter how outrageous the clichés on Italians are, they always remind me of my own family - so I guess it's true than stereotypes have some truths hidden behind them lol
I didn't finish the movie yet, I fell asleep at 1.40 am (which is proof of how tired I've been these days, btw) but I absolutely adore what I saw, and there are those two scenes that I wanted to share because they made me laugh so much. Since they're in French, I don't think a lot of you will get to appreciate them, but whatever, I know I will anyway when reading them again lol
So the first scene is when Gino explains how confusing it got after he immigrated to Canada and realised they were a) more than one America and b) more than one Canada *giggles*
Y a personne qui nous a dit qu'il y avait deux Amériques ici. Y en a une vraie aux Etas-Unis et puis une fausse a côté, le Canada, mais ensuite y'a pas seulement ça, c'est ben pire. Y a deux Canada, y en a un vrai, l'Ontario et puis un faux à côté, le Québec.
And this other scene when Gino and Maria explain to Lina that their sons are gay and a couple. But you know, when Italians learn that kind of thing, the problem isn't that their kids are 'gay' per se, the real problem is to know who is fucking who in the relationship, aka My Son Is The One Fucking Your Son Up The Ass Because My Son Is Da man debate.
Lina: Mon fils est quoi?
Gino: Un homo! A cause de lui, notre Angelo l'est aussi.
Maria: *tentant d'être conciliante* C'est peut-être pas son gars. Qui dit que c'est pas notre gars.
G: C'est moi qui dit que c'est pas notre gars.
L: J'ai du (?) entendu que mon Nino a baisé votre Angelo?
G: *patient* Non. Pour moi c'est de l'autre bord que ça se passe.
M: *essaie de calmer le jeu* Mais ça a pas d'importance.
L: *qui commence sérieusement à s'énerver* Ca en a pour moi, et excusez-moi monsieur, mais celui qui se fera jamais jamais baiser dans tout ça, c'est mon Nino!
G: *outré comme un mâle Italien sait si bien le faire* Et pourquoi vous pensez que c'est Nino qui baise mon gars?
L: *sûre d'elle* Parce que mon Nino est un mâle.
G: *rempli de pensées meurtrières* Et pas Angelo, c'est ça!!!
L: Non!
G: *au bord de l'apoplexie* Mme Paventi, je dois vous ordonner de sortir d'ici.
L: Avec plaisir!
*laughs again* Oh man, this movie is brilliant. And they have the drama acts down to a pat. Looks like I'm seeing my family interacting, I swear *g*
Finally, I'm watching Justice League right now, and I'd like to read some Superman/Batman and Green Lantern/Flash slash - I know I have several people on my flist who are into that fandom - I had some recs already in the past, but I'd like more, so... anyone? I'd go to the Slash Database Project archive but squidge is down atm...

Hmm, would you like a copy?
