Madonna, Johnny Cash and My Valentine...

Karl and I had a nice and romantical Valentine's Day. We had an early dinner at PF Changs and got to watch all of the desperate Valentinees attempting to secure dinner seats ---- they were turned away and advised to check back in 3 hours. And they were crushed. We decided to skip the movie and came home to have a nice, quiet evening with each other.

We watched the DVD of the Madonna movie, "Swept Away" --- the one that played in cinemas for about 2 days before it was yanked by Sony. I purchased it because I thought it would be one of those bad-good movies. It is not bad or good. Just sort of OK. However, it is beautifully filmed --- lots of pretty eye candy and good music. I would venture to say it improved on the orignal version by Lina Wertmuller (sp?) which was all silly politics, sexism and faux porn. However am not sure I would reccomend it.

Am now listening to the new Johnny Cash CD. You've not really lived til you've heard Mr. Cash cover Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode --- with Fiona Apple providing harmony vocals! Seriously though, it is really pretty damn good. I have to add it is a bit creepy. His cover of "Hurt" is chilling. I do not mean that to sound sarcastic -- it is quite effective. VH1 has been showing the video which is also fairly upseting. And he does a kick-ass cover of "Personal Jesus"! I do reccomend this CD. Roy? Are you reading this --- get this CD. You will LOVE it!

Tomorrow evening we're getting together with some friends for drinks and dinner. Looking forward to it. Sunday I plan to lounge about and not do much of anything. Am looking forward to that as well.

I've decided to stop recording my satanic dental woes. I will only add that am still having them and it totally sucks. ...but what am I going to do? I will just deal.

Happy Valentines!!!
