Someday I'll learn to get ready for paying the rent

You know what's a good film? The Big Easy. I watched it, or the last half of it, last night. Cajun detectives may be my favourite kind of detectives. Although John Leguizamo may soon PROVE ME WRONG. Oh. The main detective was called Remy, and had a bweautiful accent, and called people "cher". He was a bit creepy at the woman he liked, but mostly he was very good. And you know how people sometimes get excited that Dennis Quaid is going to be in films? I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT NOW. Dude.

In other news, good news! You remember that CD I was banging on about a lot a few weeks ago, that I might have to go to Paris for? I've found a place on the internet that sells it. Thank you, Wales. Unfortunately just at the moment I have no money. TO say I have zip would be being kind. I had to transfer money from my savings account, which I said I wasn't going to do anymore, to cover this month's rent. But hmm. Eventually.

Right now I have wet clothes to hang up , and I have to go do this week's food shopping. Eventually I'll have time to myself. I might watch Being Human tonight.

I've been thinking about taking one of the film courses at the Broadway as well this autumn. Oddly, I'm not usually interested in any of them, but now I'm looking at three. There's one about Canadian cinema, which appeals to me even though I'm not sure why. There's one about An Alternative History of the Western, which looks at female-led Western films, I think. And there's one about Anime from the Second World War to now, which probably wouldn't interest me so much except except that I really love Laputa: Castle in the Sky. And it's meant to be quite renowned, I think, so they might talk about it. They all sound a bit great.

Those film courses sound ace. I especially the sound of the alternative western one. Do that and tell me all about it.

The alternative Western one does look intereseting. But Castle in the Sky had a family of sky pirates, led by the mum. Who knows how many other anime films have that? THERE COULD BE TONS OF THEM.

I first saw the Big Easy when I was about... 7? (slightly inappropriate movie for a 7 year old but I watched the Sean Bean Lady Chatterly when I was not much older with my mum and have turned out... okay *coughs*) and have been a bit excited about Dennis Quaid being in things ever since *G* he was FABULOUS and it's quite a good movie. They made a tv show which was... shortlived. But I remember quite liking it.

HE WAS BRILLIANT. I was watching it and thinking, "I recognise that guy", and I kept thinking it was Patrick Swayze, but then it turned out to be him! He was great, I fell quite in love with him. He slept with a squeaky gator! Suddenly a whole lot of Dennis Quaid comments are becoming clear to me. Did the TV show have him in it? I can't imagine the show wouldn't have been a success if he was.

He's awesome, hey? *G* and his family are win and he's a good cop really! *G*

The tv show didn't have him in it unfortunately, but it appears to have run for two seasons! (according to IMDB) From 96-97
