I am too tired to think of a subject line.
Apr. 6th, 2005 10:41 pmThere is this single moment in sex, lies, and videotape, where Andie MacDowell touches James Spader's shoulder from behind, and James Spader closes his eyes in response, and I am completely spellbound by that moment. It is one of the sexiest moments in cinematic history, for me.
I am just tired. I am too tired to think. I am so tired that I'll find myself standing in the middle of a room for ten minutes and not know why.
I am too tired to sleep. And so :

last good cry: it has been a little while now, maybe a couple of months.
