For Corey
Dinner tonight was what I have come to call a "French Mess": two eggs scrambled with sauteed diced red peppers, chopped fresh herbs, and cubes of brie cheese melted on top. Accompanied by water crackers, a cup of tea kindly provided by Niss that was *AMAZING*, and chased by two teaspoons of cough medicine laced with codine, it was just the perfect dinner for the night.
It is 9pm, I'm off to bed.
Ohhhhhhh the succulent allure of diced red peppers.
Sorry to hear you're still sick by the way. I mean it. I know how much it sucks. Luckily you got a supernice fella around who probably brings you treaties in order to keep your spirits up. And probably a cat that comes and sits on you occasionally.
Anyhow... now I'm hungry. TTYL.

"An ex-convict struggles to survive by brute force alone in a turn-of-the-century slum in Bucharest. Codine (Alexandre Virgil Platon) is the thug who served 10 years for murdering a friend. He returns home to his miserly mother, whose penny-pinching ways infuriate her son. A young boy looks up to Codine, and through the man's eyes he sees the economic and social injustices from an adult perspective. When Codine kills another man who violated his trust, his mother becomes more unhinged and paranoid. Thinking her son will steal her hoarded money, she plots to kill her only son. The impressionable child watches in horror and amazement at the cruel machinations of the adult work that surrounds him."
Codine (1963) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129831/
Well, it did win Best Screenplay at Cannes that year...and it does look like a really boring French film so I can see why you'd take it with cough medicine to help you sleep...
Oh, Codeine! Nevermind. ;)
PS - Boo for no html formatting in comments! Hehe.

The atrocious spelling should be proof alone I *was* taking codeine! Although the movie description seems quite apt. :)
