I don't feel so good. I have a cold. I thought I might have gotten away with it - my throat felt weird all week but nothing else happened. And now I have a day off and I feel awful! Drat.

I sold another Stargate Companion the other day. We've only got one left at work now. Oooh. I managed to restrain myself, so I didn't ramble aimlessly at the poor person. :-)

Today was Good Friday, obviously. So I went to church in the morning, then ate Hot Cross Buns for lunch. Mum and Dad suggested we go out, so we went to an Antiques and Collectables fair. And also Battlesbridge Antiques Centre. Didn't buy anything. Watched some TV. Feel like sleeping, really. *sigh*

I watched Jeffrey last night. Yes, another DVD I bought because it had Michael T. Weiss in it. I will probably never learn. Luckily he hasn't been in all that much! I'm not completely sure who the film is supposed to have appealed to. I mean, it's a gay comedy. Not gay in a happy way. :-)

My main problem with the film is that I'm not that way inclined and I didn't find it funny. It was just really disturbing. So are you supposed to find it funny if you're gay? Because it made all gay men out to be sex mad lunatics who do interior designing and/or dance for a living! Is that really what it's like to be gay? The people in the film spotted who was gay just by looking at them, which was odd since the actors are (as far as I know) not gay. I don't know if I'm making much sense...

And apart from that, it was supposed to have loads of serious issues going on, but it didn't really. It wasn't written to be clear enough. It was just a mishmash of stereotypes, disjointed scenes and Patrick Stewart doing pretty well with the material he'd been given. To me, it didn't come across as being funny or a serious film about love and HIV. Perhaps it's just me. I don't know.
