[523] she realized she'd never ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair
I MADE IT TO FRIDAY. I only have one used tech for the next week and am completely buried in units that need to be inspected, but we've managed to get broadly on top of the sold ones, at least, so I'm hoping today will be a little more chill than things have been of late. The fact that I'm able to write this entry in the morning is a good sign!
Eddie Kingston and Ortiz announced for MLP/ROH in Windsor. Taka Michinoku announced for Mystery Wrestling in Edmonton. KENTA announced for Mystery Wrestling in Vancouver. This vacation is going to heal me, I just know it. Also I'll be in proximity to working movie theatres again! Kicking into ~ cinema ~ mode the second I clock out today for today and tomorrow's LotR EE marathon down at Keyano -- hopefully that will make up for missing the Oscars in favour of Revolution on Sunday. Old man yaoi Edge & Christian returning then will also heal me (it's one year after Christian screwed him for the world title in last year's main-event-that-should-not-have-been-the-main-event! Dynasty will be one year since FTR turned heel on Cope and they'll probably still have the belts in a month! Nick Wayne is finally back in action! ALL THE PIECES ARE IN PLACE).
Wikipedia Sez: Broken English is the seventh studio album by English singer Marianne Faithfull. It was released on 2 November 1979 by Island Records. The album marked a major comeback for Faithfull after years of drug abuse, homelessness and anorexia. It is often regarded as her definitive recording, and Faithfull herself described it as her "masterpiece".
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Art Rock
Release Date: November 2nd, 1979
Prior Familiarity: I've heard pieces of it in passing, in movies and whatnot, but nothing significant.
Verdict: I was wavering between two and three stars for most of it, because while I found it fine, I really kinda can't stand her voice (does it really count as whiskey-soaked if it's due to drug abuse? I guess alcohol is a drug anyway, so maybe!). But then it unexpectedly made me cry a whole lot, which I guess deserves a bump???
Favourite Song: Hey, so it turns out that The Ballad of Lucy Jordan hits WAY different when you're doing a close listen less than a month after your 37th birthday as opposed to just hearing it in that one Thelma & Louise scene! I was a wreck!! I still kinda am!!!
Leshia's Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Today's lunchtime joshi match will be a long-haul, Sareee & KAIRI vs. Arisa Nakajima & Takumi Iroha from Sareee-ISM Chapter II. Kinda wish I hadn't blown my weekly burrito taxi budget on horrible little dough balls yesterday so I could get a wrap or something to eat with it, but alas. They were so good, though. Anyway, I really need to dig into Sareee's self-produced shows, they seem like banger factories!
